Heres Another Steddie Au Pitch For Yall: Fae Steve Harrington. Im Not Sure If Im More Sold On Selkie

heres another steddie au pitch for yall: fae steve harrington. im not sure if im more sold on selkie steve, which has more canon evidence, or feral unseelie steve, which could be cool as fuck, but either way mr and mrs harrington trap little faerie child steve in the mortal realm, either by stealing his coat or his name, bc they need an heir but dont have the patience for a child.

little baby steve, freshly glamoured, trying to figure out wtf is up with these human kids who are so squishy and weak and dull. steve watching eddie be melodramatic and performative and passionate like gods finally someone Normal.

steve making little deals with his friends — stuff like “if you give me a chip, you’ll totally pass your science quiz” and everyone thinks it’s ridiculous but also it always works. the kids think of steve as some kind of good luck charm and always give him little gifts before exams or big sessions or whatever

steve watching a hellfire session where the party is in the feywilds and just. Cannot stop giggling. humans r so funny when theyre wrong

i think it gets revealed in S4 when steve finds eddie dying and frantically asks him to trade him for something, anything, bc steve can save him but not for free. eddie trades a kiss
