Don't Break My Heart, Don't Throw It Away by IronTocks

Summary
Eddie Munson has never had a boyfriend before. Sure, he'd slept with guys he didn't even remember the names of the next morning, kissed dudes in dark corners of clubs he was too young to be in, but it didn't mean anything. None of it meant anything. This did. Eddie would almost argue it meant everything.
How on earth his first boyfriend had ended up being Steve Harrington, former king of Hawkins high, and former douchebag, but current sweetheart, he didn't know.
But Eddie's not complaining. Quite the opposite, actually. He's not entirely sure how he's supposed to go around this whole relationship thing, but he's sure Steve'll show him. For now, though, Eddie's just gonna freak out about holding his hand.OR
Steve and Eddie navigate Steve's first homosexual experiences, and Eddie's first romantic experiences, and shit happens.

Summary
It was 2023 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Steve Harrington didn't know what he was doing with his life. Home from college with a barely passing GPA, recently dumped, and drunkenly careening down a dark country road to the tune of his own misery, Steve was aware that he might be depressed. Therapy would've been the sane solution. But before he could turn around and make that choice, a glowing red hole cracked open in the middle of the road, and he was sent flying through time and space.
It was also 1985 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Eddie Munson had a five step plan on how to fix his life. First, graduate high school. Second, provide a kickass D&D campaign for the nosy little freshman that joined Hellfire. And finally, write more music and go on tour with his band. Okay, three step plan. Absolutely nothing about his plan-in-progress included stumbling across the hottest man he'd ever seen stranded on the side of the road. Or the glowing red portal to hell parked next to him.

Summary
Eddie is playing with fire. How long until he stretches his secret game of gay chicken too far and gets a punch in the face from his straight jock friend?
Steve isn't gay, he's allowed to enjoy Eddie's flirting vibe. It isn't gay when they start doing stuff either. It's just what Eddie is like with his friends. Probably.
Aka. They're both confused, and horny, and somewhat emotionally stunted. Will they figure their shit out?

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

till it hits you in the head by ilipbutstranger (ilip13)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
"Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."
"What’s that supposed to mean?!"
"It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."
*
It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.

Summary
Eddie supposes that you tend to form some sort of attachment to the person who saves your life. When you owe your life to someone, It’s hard not to develop some kind of connection to them. Even if it’s one sided.
So after Steve ‘the hair’ Harrington dragged his unconscious body, his dying body, away from them demobats, well, the dead bodies of demobats, and back to his trailer, well, the version of his trailer in the upside down, and proceeded to throw him over his shoulders and climb back up, and then down, that makeshift rope, and back to the over-world, to safety, while the others shouted urgently, there was no surprise that Eddie felt something about that.OR
Steve Harrington saved Eddies life, and in turn, Eddie develops a big fat crush on the guy.

"Eleven didn't just force us out of the Upside Down. She forced us back to the beginning." Nancy's mouth is set in a grim line.

you are going to die in your best friend’s arms. (but he won’t let you leave like that) by oaseas

Summary
Dustin sucks in a sharp breath, claps his hands together in his lap, and says as straightforwardly as possible, “I’m going back in time.”
Steve doesn’t say anything. His mouth opens and closes like a goldfish. Then, he says, “What, like, right now?”
Dustin wakes up in Max’s trailer the day of Eddie’s death. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times? Three times is a pattern.
Or: Dustin Henderson is unstuck in time.

Summary
Steve Harrington never planned for Eddie Munson.
Steve was supposed to marry his high school sweetheart, have 2.5 children, and take over the family business. He was supposed to live a blissful life on a nondescript cul-de-sac, complete with a white picket fence and a closet full of tasteful polo shirts. He was supposed to make a graceful transition between being the golden boy and being the American Dream.
Mediocrity was what destiny had designed for Steve. Reality had other plans.
(Or, Steve and Eddie, against all odds, fall in love)

Or, Steve is pretty convinced Eddie now hates him. Turns out Eddie has the opposite problem.

Summary
The last thing Eddie saw in the Upside Down was Dustin's tear streaked face.
The last thing Eddie heard, however, was the pleading voice of Steve Harrington, seemingly going through all five stages of grief at once.
He didn't expect it to make such an impression on him.

I like long stories about nothing! This is the most effort I've put into probably anything ever, and the first fic I've ever actually finished, save for a couple short one shots. This is my god damn magnum opus.

Summary
Eddie had done a lot of running recently. He’d run when Chrissy died, when Jason and his gang was hunting him, when the cops gave his name to the town and started a witch hunt for the freak. He’d run from all of it, and more.
He’d run from the lab. He’d run from Papa.
He couldn’t run any longer.
~*~*~
My own take on the 'Eddie is from Hawkin's Lab' theory!
