Summary
Steve Harrington kind of had a thing for hands. Eddie’s hands to be specific.
Eddie’s hands —
in the upside down, gripped tightly around a bike handle, throwing Steve his vest, and then resting limply in Dustin’s hand, caked in blood and dirt and Dustin’s falling tears, and still even in impending death they were Eddie’s hands and they were beautiful.
Or: A series of snapshots of Steve and Eddie's growing connection, and how they found their way to each other.

Summary
Steve Harrington knew a lot of things. He knew how to style his hair, how to move the strands into place.
He knew how to swing a bat.
He knew how to spit out words and make them hurt.
He knew how to love fiercely.
But for the life of him, he couldn’t figure out Eddie Munson.

Summary
Eddie Munson is one of the greatest metal stars to ever live. A genius of his time, and one of the most tragic losses to the music world when he unexpectedly dies in 1991.
And he’s standing right in front of Steve, seven inches tall, and alive once again.
“Well hello there, Big Boy!”
+++
An AU wherein Steve and Robin are night guards at a museum where everything comes to life when the sun goes down, and Steve runs across part of a display he’s never noticed before.

Summary
“Sounds like she was really fucking drunk,” Eddie sighs when Steve’s done recapping his disaster of a relationship. “People say shit they don’t mean when they’re wasted.”
“You didn’t see her face,” he says. “It was like she could tell.”
“What could she tell?”
He rubs his face out of habit and is almost surprised to find the wet tear stains. Oh that’s right, he was crying.
“That there’s something wrong with me.”
***
Steve gets his heart absolutely shattered in a bathroom at a random Halloween party. He storms off so no one can tell he’s on the verge of tears and finds Eddie Munson smoking a joint in the master bedroom.
Steve pours his heart out and tells Eddie that he just can’t get it to come naturally with Nancy. No matter how hard he tries so play at romance, he can’t love her the way he’s supposed to.
Eddie, who’s known he’s queer since middle school, sees something of himself in Steve. But as their friendship progresses into something more, Steve has to confront the fact that he might not be gay after all.

Summary
Steve watches the kids in the lake. Mike splashes Lucas and turns tail to try and wade away before getting tackled into the water. Max and El laugh, arms linked, and giggle something that Steve can’t quite make out. Dustin is standing shin deep and closer to the shore. He has one hand on his hip while the other is flung out toward the wrestling boys.
“He really takes after you, huh?”
Eddie’s voice startles Steve and he rips his eyes away to crane his neck around. Eddie is looking out toward the lake, eyes locked on Dustin.
“Yeah, like mother like son, blah blah blah,” Steve chuckles.
Eddie bites his lip in a smile and holds up his lotion-coated hands. “Yeah, pretty much. Ready to let me get my hands on you?”
“Well, I wouldn’t be opposed to a little begging, but sure,” Steve shrugs, tossing Eddie a look with the tilt of his head and raised eyebrows. Eddie takes a step forward and leans in, lips close to Steve’s ear.
“I don’t beg,” he whispers.
Or
Steve takes his 11 closest friends on a trip to the lake, and unexpectedly falls in love.
