What Are You Reading?

“what are you reading?”

“its a…online book.”

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

Now THAT’S how you start and end a video 🤣🤣🤣

Look at this cutiepie! Reblogging because the money would be spectacular, but mostly because Albert is adorable. 😍

this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!

Woo! A Harringrove fic rec list!! Bless the beautiful people who compile these glorious lists.

Harringrove fic recs: Love Letters

I’ve read sooo many harringrove fics now it’s getting ridiculous, but I thought I might start putting together some fic rec lists with some I’ve really enjoyed reading, based around a common theme. You might enjoy them too! The fics on this list all incorporate letters or notes in some way.

dear pretty boy by shocked_into_shame T, 3.6k, complete. Summary: A harringrove pen pal AU, written (almost) entirely in letters.

Kill me with your smile by @highon85 T, 2k+, WIP [2/4]. Summary: Steve thinks he’s got a secret admirer who leaves gifts in his school locker. Billy tells himself he doesn’t have a bad conscience. But what he definitely does have is an addiction for a certain pretty boy’s smile.

Why I Hate Steve Harrington by @flippyspoon T, 2.7k, complete. Summary: Billy writes a list.

Too Close by @introvertia E, 4.5k, complete. Summary: Harringrove Valentine’s Day, because why not?

The Pizza King by 65writings for @hoppnhorn M, 14k, complete. Summary: Billy Hargrove’s got this job. He throws a leaning stack of pizza boxes into the back of the Camero and drives them to the ungrateful and poor-tipping residents of Hawkins. He resents it in a million different ways for so many different reasons, but if it’s good for nothing else, it allows him to see Steve Harrington a few times a week, which is just about the only damn thing he’s living for nowadays. Usually, it’s a wordless exchange of Steve’s usual order. However, one night, Billy gets this idea and pulls over on the side of the road. From that night on, wordlessly exchange glares and Steve’s usual order. However, one night, Billy gets this terrible idea and pulls over on the side of the road. From that night on, Hawkins’ has one less terrible-tipper and Billy Hargrove says much more to Steve Harrington than nothing at all.

How To Find Your Secret Admirer by @fullofwander T, 30k+, WIP [11/?]. Summary: Someone’s leaving love letters in Steve Harrington’s locker. Is it an innocent crush, or something more? And does Steve really have time to deal with this what with his impending graduation and, of course, the upside down?

better than Shakespeare by @gothyringwald T, 1k, complete. Summary: It’s Valentine’s Day and the only person Steve wants a Valentine from is the person least likely to give him one…right?

Sealed With A Kiss by LadyFrandrews Not rated, 2.3k, complete. Summary: Some of Billy’s letters to Steve over the summer. He’s a bit of a sap…like a lot.

you’ve got a troubled soul; i’ve got a troubled mind by shocked_into_shame T, 2.1k, complete. Summary: Steve’s started to believe that there’s got to be a reason why everything happens the way it does. There’s got to be a method to the madness that is Hawkins. And maybe there’s a reason that he’s at this party, a reason beyond himself and Hawkins and all the fake fucking people in it. That reason just might be one slumped over, drugged out of his mind Billy Hargrove.

A Break-Up by @flippyspoon T, 2.5k, complete. Summary: Steve doesn’t know what love looks like.

Please let me know if there were any authors who are on tumblr who I didn’t tag. Also, feel free to add to this, or to request a harringrove fic rec list! I’ve got a few ideas in mind but I’m open to any suggestions. :)
