Summary
There’s a bottle on his neck and a boy pressed against him.
Steve should be terrified. He’s shoved higher up the wall he’s pinned to, the boy’s eyes wild beneath his tangled mess of hair, his breath all rasp and spit and fear.
The bottle presses closer, harder, almost enough to break skin.
Steve knows it won’t, though, because this isn’t the first time he’s been here.
Or, Steve keeps finding himself back in the boathouse where everything started, wrapped up in the arms of a boy who can’t stop dying. Saving him means ending his torment, and it also means falling in love.

The Personal Significance of Songs Sung on Bathroom Floors by EpitomeOfYikes
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
"Wheeler, please tell me you know Harrington's favorite song,” Munson sounds anxious.
"I-I-I, no I can't think of anything. We never really talked much about his music taste. I don’t even know what kind of music he likes, let alone the right song for this!"
Something in Nancy’s reply makes a memory appear in Robin's mind and clicks a thought into place.
Hatch had been walking them through the listening room, 'We found that music has a particularly calming effect on the broken mind. The right song, particularly...'
"... one that holds some personal meaning," Robin finishes out loud.OR
When Steve get's Vecna'd Robin remembers what Hatch said at Penhurst and hopes that that day a year ago at Starcourt holds as much personal meaning to Steve as it does to her.

Summary
Jonathan Byers does not like Robin Buckley and he especially does not like Eddie Munson.
After things with Vecna have settled down, Jonathan can't help but notice the way that Steve's new friends never seem to leave him alone, taking up all of his attention, and he can't help but feel that it's unfair. Steve has been involved in all of this since the first incident, he's be through this four times - just like Jonathan and Nancy. It doesn't make sense that just one or two encounters with the horrors that dwell in Hawkins would create that strong of a bond when he and Steve have barely spoken in the past year. It's as if at some point during Jonathan's time in California, Steve decided to replace him and Nancy with two, frankly quite loud and annoying newbies who, as far as Jonathan is concerned, have barely even scratched the surface of understanding just how cursed this place is. It's just not fair.

the only way to my heart is with an axe by Themoondogs

Summary
No one has caught Steve Harrington’s eye in a while, and he’s not going to go looking. And with his tendency to get involved with interdimensional bullshit and the gaggle of teenagers that follows him around, it’s probably for the best. He quickly learns that the universe has other plans for him, and they come in the shape of a goofy, guitar-wielding nerd.
In which Steve is just trying to live his life but Eddie is essentially hitting him over the head with a very flirtatious hammer.

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.
