Uniform, Superman and Tom Cruise by Ragana (EsperoVona)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
01 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Maybe the uniform was scandalous. Maybe it attracted the attention of alphas. Maybe Steve was having a little more fun with it than he probably should have... But how was he supposed to resist teasing overly confident alphas and harmlessly flirting with the nicer ones? Unless someone decided to be a jerk to him. In that case, Steve intended to be a petty bitch about it. The problem was that Eddie Munson was acting strangely enough that Steve couldn’t figure out which category of alpha to put him in.

Summary
The merman doesn't make a sound, but as Eddie cuts away more and more of the net, he seems to relax a tiny bit. Those sharp eyes never leave Eddie's though.
"My name's Eddie. Do you have a name?"
No reply.
"Your scales are…really pretty," Eddie continues. "I bet they shine in the sun."
At that, a small noise escapes the merman, a quiet trill.
"Oh? You like compliments, huh?" Eddie smiles. "So you can understand me."
"Some," the merman croaks. Weakly, he holds up a hand, brings his thumb and forefinger less than an inch apart, indicating small.
*****
To most people, merfolk are dangerous beasts, evil, hunted down and their scales sold for high prices. To Eddie, they're kind and fascinating creatures from his uncle's old stories, and something he's longed to see for years.
When Captain Creel drags a captured merman on board Eddie's ship, he gets his wish.
Steve is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and Eddie's going to free him or die trying.
