Summary
The year is 1983 and Mary-Elizabeth MacKinley, 'Mac' to her friends, is a sarcastic, sharp-edged teen just trying to get through life in Hawkins, Indiana. But then, the unthinkable happens—a boy disappears, and something dark stirs beneath the surface of the small town. While she’s busy navigating her job at Vinyl Frontier, babysitting Dustin Henderson, and dealing with her complicated friendships, she’s drawn into a dangerous new reality. Haunted by nightmares and the weight of what she’s seen, Mac struggles to reconcile her normal life with the horrors of the Upside Down. Along the way, she forms unexpected bonds, particularly with Steve Harrington, whose own insecurities mirror hers in surprising ways.
Amid the chaos, Mac leans on the two people who know her best: Robin, her eccentric best friend, and Eddie Munson, her... well she's not quite sure what he is exactly. Though her connections provide her with moments of levity and understanding, her relationship with both of them grows increasingly complicated as she struggles to keep the horrors of Hawkins hidden.
THIS IS SET DURING SEASON ONE. EACH SEASON WILL HAVE A SEPERATE FIC IN THIS SERIES! <3

Summary
"Thought you'd like to make one of those cut off vests I've seen your heavy metal heroes wear. I need a new jacket, so I thought you could use my old one. You just need to cut the sleeves off," he lifts the jacket up by the shoulders. "An' Benny donated his old shirt for the back."
Eddie knows Wayne likes to make do and mend, find new use for old things, never throw away anything that's still functional in some way, and he does not mind a second hand present that's a work in progress. He likes to do things with his hands. There's just one big problem with this one.
"Thank you, Wayne," he hugs the older man. "But I don't know how to sew," he continues as he lets go of his uncle and looks at him with his big sad puppy dog eyes.

It’s Eddie’s 13th birthday and his Uncle Wayne has a special present for him with some assembly required, and he’s going to teach him how to do it. But first Eddie has some plans with his best friend Ronnie.

Summary
Eddie’s blood sings out for him in a way that is distinctly not-human, and that’s really the final nail in the coffin. The proverbial one, at least.
He’s not so sure what happened to the real one.
When the horror fully sets in and the dread crawls up from his chest to claw at his throat and choke, he asks, desperately, “Steve, what did you do?”
“What I had to,” Steve answers, and Eddie breathes out with decayed lungs, coughs up some more soil, and weeps.
Eddie wakes up.

Maybe Eddie wasn’t the one who flew too high too fast, in spite of all of the warnings.
Maybe Eddie wasn’t the one that wound up melting and drowning.
Maybe Eddie was never Icarus in the first place.
Maybe he was the sun.

Summary
"I've actually got a couple books. Feel free to tell me to shut up if I'm overstepping but they might help." Steve grabbed one of the books from his backpack. "This is a super old case study by some British guy called W. Pringle Morgan. It's called A Case of Congenital Word Blindness. It's about this thing it's called dyslexia, it's where you struggle with reading and writing." Steve explained. "It says here 'Percy, aged 14. A bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age. His great difficulty has been -and is now- his inability to learn to read'."
Or
Steve Harrington is endlessly fascinated by Eddie Munson. Though the teachers in Hawkins High bully Eddie, instead of helping like they’re supposed to. God forbid Steve have a strong sense of justice.

Summary
Eddie Munson is the freak of Hawkins. Some people whisper behind his back and look at him with pity in their eyes. Others torment and bully him mercilessly. All of them are scared of what he represents. He’s the freak born without a daemon and a reminder that daemons aren’t immortal.
When Eddie Munson follows his new friends on an adventure into the Upside Down, he not only finds something he didn’t even remember having in the first place, but he also learns what really happened to his mom.
It was never about the journey or the battles along the way. It was always about him.

Summary
Eddie Munson knew he was destined for greatness, even if every adult and peer in Hawkins told him otherwise, and after years of hard work it looked like maybe those people were right. But, despite a major setback that brings them right back to stage one, Corroded Coffin climbs their way up the ladder.
Making it big in the music industry was at the top of Eddie’s list, and the success as he stood at the peak of his career tasted so sweet. He had the fame, he had his band, he had the love of his life — but how long until his luck catches up to him and he brings the whole band crashing down? How long until the world realizes he’s not good enough? He can’t afford to lose it, can’t afford to be anything but perfect, he needs to be perfect, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose Steve Harrington.

Summary
Hawkins, 1986.
Julie Emerson has spent her whole life holding things together—keeping her family afloat through her father’s alcoholism, surviving high school by staying in the margins, and patching herself up when no one else would. The only constant in the chaos has been Eddie Munson, her best friend, her tether—her person.
But when Chrissy Cunningham dies under impossible circumstances, everything spirals. Eddie becomes the prime suspect, and Hawkins turns into a hunting ground. Determined to protect him, Julie is thrust into a nightmare of violence, grief, and something far worse lurking just beneath the surface.
As the town unravels and the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Julie and Eddie are forced to face not only what’s coming out of the Upside Down—but the truth they’ve both been running from.
...She shrugged. “Anywhere’s fine, as long as it’s outta U.S. jurisdiction, right? And Canada ain’t half bad—heard everyone's nice up there and…”
“You’d… You’d leave Hawkins? For me?”
“Eddie, I’d leave Hawkins for a stick of gum,” Julie smirked softly. “I'd leave everything for you.”
