Summary
“I think I’m stuck.”
Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.
“Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.
“I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”
Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
“You planning on becoming a comedian?”
“Eds.”
“Stevie.”
Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.

Your sweet loving (Is better than a kiss) by ChristinMKay

Summary
Steve knows how to charm alphas. Knows how to bend his neck submissively, how to bat his lashes, smile coyly and lean into their space, bite his lips all flustered, and fake a chirp. It’s easy to twist and bend himself into whatever kind of degrading fantasy they want to have of him. It’s easy because it’s not real. It’s an act, a persona, any alpha’s wet dream, it’s not him. Whoever that might be.
It’s comfortable slipping into that skin, knowing it’s keeping himself safe, protecting him like armor, not letting anyone get close, not letting anyone touch. Steve doesn’t like the person he becomes all that much, but he has to hide the softer parts, the ones that make him vulnerable. Often enough he ends up forgetting not just his name, but also who he is underneath all the gold-clad limbs.
Someone awkward and a bit of a dork it turns out. The kind of person who says stupid shit like I carried a watermelon.

Summary
Steve doesn't exactly care about relationships anymore. Not after Nancy broke his heart and Billy broke his face. He's bored and just going through the motions the first time it happens. Noelle asks him on Monday if he's busy that coming Friday and Steve figures why not? He takes her to the movies on Friday, takes her to bed on Saturday, and on Sunday he lets her down gently. She takes it in stride, and the next Monday it's Jocelyn at his locker. Then Ginny. Then Cami. Soon a rumor starts that Steve Harrington will accept anyone who asks him out at the beginning of the week and end their relationship after seven days of dating.
Eddie doesn't believe the rumors. After all, to say Steve Harrington would ignore the glaring asterisk of heteronormativity is just insane. But when he catches the King being tardy on a Monday he puts his theory to the test.
Suddenly Eddie has a boyfriend for the next seven days. Now he just has to not fall in love.
