Summary
“I didn’t really think it through when I said it, I just got so angry and all I could think was that I wanted them to know what it would be like for someone they love to be gay. It was probably a dumb plan, because the jury’s still out on if they love me,” he chuckled darkly. “Plus, the obvious.”
The clock ticked.
Robin raised her eyebrows and waited. “You’re… not gay?” She guessed with a frown.
Steve flashed her finger guns with a grin. “Bingo.”
—
Or, Steve asks Eddie to pretend to date him to teach his parents a lesson. Eddie is devastated to find out they weren’t dating already.

Summary
"No one had ever said that Eddie would be good for someone. Eddie was used to being told that he was nothing but a troublemaker, that he would only bring problems everywhere he went.
How could he be good for Steve?"
Eddie likes Steve.
Steve likes Eddie.
It should be so simple at this point. But it's really, really, not.

Summary
“I swear I’m not just bailing on another date, Robin,” the excuse is flimsy but Steve’s head is pounding too loud to think of a better one, too hungover to care, “I have— I just have things to do, alright?”
Robin’s not convinced, “Yeah right. Tell me, what is this super important “thing” that you just have to do tonight, Steve?”
“Me.”
Both their heads snap over to where none other than Eddie Munson just declared himself as “the thing Steve has to do.”
“Hate to break it to you, Buckley, but you can’t set Steve up on a date ‘cause he’s already got plans… with me.”
Or, it starts with a drunken night and a plan that Steve can’t remember making, but Eddie sure does.

Summary
Steve's car rumbled to a stop over the gravel path in front of Eddie's trailer. Simply put, Steve was terrified. Steve was spiraling, his knuckles white, his hands still gripping the steering wheel. Why was he even here, after everything that happened why would Munson even want to look at him. That thought of him turning Steve away was somehow even more terrifying. Steve knew deep down that he has to be in Munson's life, whenever he was around him he just felt this magnetic field and was drawn in instantly. Those late night movies on Steve's couch where they curled up into each other meant so much to Steve and he didn't even know why.
-or the one where Eddie Munson falls hard for Steve Harrington and doesn't know what personal space is, and Steve Harrington falls even harder.

Summary
He’s sinking. Falling. Deeper, deeper, deeper. He claws at nothing but air, desperate for a rope, a hand, anything. But, Eddie's hand in Steve's isn’t to pull him back up. It’s to pull him closer to a truth he doesn’t dare speak.
For now, there’s just him and Eddie Munson staring at each other in silence. As Steve falls deeper into those eyes of his. He doesn’t think he’ll ever come to the surface.
Something inside him, a little spark, doesn’t want to.

Summary
Steve Harrington doesn't have many friends his age, let alone guy friends. Not since Tommy H. Even then, and with Robin, he felt like he was missing something; something Nancy gave him a taste of.
He was touch-starved, but he couldn't let himself express it. Not until he finally met the obnoxiously confident DM his kids had been raving about. Something about him made him comfortable, something... Steve really didn't want to think about too deeply.
Or
Steve Harrington goes through a sexuality crisis, filled with deep denial and trauma.

Summary
“You know,” Eddie starts as he turns his head to look away from Robin. “I really fucking wanna kiss Steve.”
Robin blinks as she thinks about what Eddie just said. “You-you what?”
“I wanna kiss Steve! I wanna kiss his stupid fucking face. Those pretty fucking lips. All plump and soft looking. He’s just so fucking pretty, Rob. His hair, his freckles, his eyes, just everything about him is just so, perfect and pretty. I mean, I guess if he’s called ‘The King’ then he has to be perfect,” Eddie finishes.
Unbeknownst to Eddie, Steve was not with the kids. In fact, he was standing in the hospital room, with Eddie and Robin, listening.

Summary
Nancy is self-aware enough to admit that maybe she’s at her best when the world is ending.
It’s the aftermath which is proving more difficult.
Or: Nancy Wheeler loses a boyfriend, gains a best friend, goes to a metal show, smokes a joint, kisses someone she shouldn't, and maybe, just maybe, falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.
OR: Nancy Wheeler has a prolonged sexuality crisis and Robin, Eddie, and Steve are there too.

Summary
“You knew this was going to happen?” Steve asked.
Eddie shrugged. “Didn’t you assume it would happen?” he laughed lightly, but it was more out of pure embarrassment than anything else. “I mean. You’ve seen my mattress.”
***
Eddie has struggled with incontinence his entire life. Thankfully, Steve is a good friend. Oh, and they are totally in love with each other.
(Basically an enemiesish to lovers fic that focuses heavily on Eddie’s canon and non-canon bladder problems, as well as Wayne Munson being a good dad).

Summary
“Dave, this is my boyfriend, Steve,” Eddie introduced.
“Boyfriend?” Dave asked, furrowing his brows.
Eddie could hear Robin whispering ‘boyfriend’ as well, but Steve remained silent and immobile in Eddie’s grip. “Yeah, we have an open relationship, don’t we, Stevie?” Eddie looked back at Steve to see the dumbstruck expression on Steve’s face. If Eddie wasn’t trying to get rid of Dave right now, Eddie would be plenty smug about the fact that he’d kissed Steve stupid.
----
Eddie and Steve are thrust into a fake relationship and make a bet to see who will break first.

Summary
“It’s like a proper sleep over, man.” Argyle laughs as he lay sideways across the bed, arms spread out and still not touching the edges, feet barely skimming the floor.
“Yeah well, it’s just for tonight,” Steve agrees, making his way over to the edge of the bed “Tomorrow we’re setting up tents and sleeping outside.” He tells them.
“For real?” Jonathan’s eyebrows perk up “You’re camping?”
Steve’s eyebrows shoot up in defense “Yeah? I’ve slept in the house maybe a handful of times my whole life. I basically lived outside when we’d come on vacation. Don’t act surprised.” Steve scolds.
Jonathan’s eyes soften “Sorry, I just didn’t think you’d.. Like camping? That’s very off brand King Steve.”
Eddie sides up beside Steve and puts a playful hand on his shoulder “That’s because King Steve is no longer, all that is, is now, Rambo, The Explorer!” Eddie’s voice drops low, his arm movements dramatic.
Steve physically cannot help the smile that spreads across his face.
OR
Steve takes the party on vacation to his family's vacation cabin, and everyone learns a thing or two about what family means to each other.

An Ode to Eddie Munson’s Stained Mattress by hawkinsleather
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
05 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
And that's how Eddie found himself on his bed, thinking at the stains, listening to Mercyful Fate to drown out the noise of his thoughts. Thinking about Steve's 10th birthday, a crisp blue and a different shade of blue striped polo shirt and khakis. Some things don't change much, do they. But at least the crush was perfectly manageable, just something in the background that he could ignore most of the time. Until he crashed out of that tarp covered boat at Reefer Rick's and pinned Steve against the wall with a broken bottle against his throat.
or
a love letter to Eddie Munson's stained mattress.

Summary
As Steve turns the corner into the hallway of his semi secret bathroom he hears a faint melody winding its way from the old music room. The closer he gets the more intrigued he is to find out who’s creating such a beautiful sound. The last person he expected to see was Eddie Munson when he peered in through the door window. Surely he should be playing some migraine inducing metal or something, not strumming a gentle tune full of emotion on a beaten up acoustic guitar.

Summary
"Look, it's very sweet of you to worry about me. I didn't mean the recent rumors, though.", he goes to take a sip of his beer and realizes the bottle is already empty, so he puts it back down and takes a deep breath. "I'm hoping you'll be cool with this because your best friend is Robin, and I know you know about her.", Steve's eyes go wide but before he can say anything, Eddie finally says it, "I meant that I'm gay, Steve. I like guys."
--
"Robin smiles back at her before running off, saying she’s late for band practice. Something about her awkwardness and rambling is actually extremely cute once you get to know her. Nancy feels warm inside, which she attributes to finally having another friend again, after Barb. She hadn’t realized how lonely she had been. Maybe having a girls’ night is a good idea. Hopefully they don’t plan to talk about boys, that would defeat the purpose.
[...]
Robin is a lot more interesting than either of the boys, anyway."-
Eddie Munson survives, the gate is closed, Steve is bisexual, Robin falls for her best friend's ex, and Nancy is confused. You get the gist.(Title from I Hear a Symphony, by Cody Fry)
