Not So Bad is a Stranger Things Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson story by outofmygourd.
Summary
Vecna is dead. It's the summer after the party's freshman year. Steve Harrington spends it in the Family Video Store, and Eddie Munson is spending post-graduate life bothering him. And maybe Steve isn't as bothered as he used to be.
The author also wrote a companion story from Eddie's POV called Keep it Steady, Eddie.
Reactions and Reviews
I have seen Stranger things, although I haven't gotten into Steddie ff properly yet. Honestly after reading this one I am very tempted to throw away this challenge and just read steddie fics. Like it was heckin cute 8/10[1]
9. what was your favorite fic that somebody else wrote in 2022?
omg it's so hard to choose just the one but I'd say Not So Bad by outofmygourd. It was the first fic in a while that made me stay up all night so I could binge-read it, and it made me blush and grin like an idiot, best kind of feeling tbh[3]
10/10 this one deserves all the hype its gotten its so good[4]
the fact that this was finished 4 days after vol 2 came out and it’s 43k words??? It’s unreal y’all. This fic is so sweet and so good[5]
This fic is just everything. I love it. Bastard had me clenching my phone to my chest. The soft touches. THE SOFT TOUCHES. If you like this pairing, I can’t recommend this fanfic enough.[6]
y’all already know. The first Steddie fic I ever read, and it still stands as maybe the best one I’ve ever read. I was kicking my feet and giggling while reading this one :’)[7]
how does ao3 user outofmygourd feel knowing that “Not so bad” is carrying the Steddie community on its back[8]
