Summary
It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.
But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.
Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.
OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

Summary
Eddie really liked Tommy.
If asked, he could give a long list of reasons why.
Tommy was an army guy, like Eddie himself, they had a lot of shared experiences.
Tommy was witty, he always had a one liner ready to throw out.
Tommy was into MMA, and muay thai, and he could fly Eddie to games.
Tommy would play pickup with him even when Buck always said no.
Tommy was good with Christopher. He had an easy charm with Eddie’s preteen son, and he had lots of stories that Christopher couldn’t quite get enough of.
And, the most important reason, Tommy had been a huge part of the reason Athena and Bobby had survived.
The problem was… Eddie kind of couldn’t fucking stand Tommy.
OR -
Eddie goes through the stages of grief watching Buck and Tommy together and gets progressively more unhinged as his jealousy builds. No bashing of Marisol or Tommy in this, they're just not right for Eddie and Buck.

Summary
Eddie exhales through his nose, still not looking at him, focused on the new card in front of him. “I’ve never had a Valentine.”
Buck stills. “Never?”
Eddie shakes his head. “No.” He says it like it’s no big deal, like it’s just a fact, but something about it doesn’t sit right with Buck.
He watches Eddie for a moment, trying to wrap his head around it. Because Eddie—Eddie, with his steady hands and careful smiles and the kind of quiet, effortless warmth that makes people want to stay—how has he never had someone look at him on Valentine’s Day and think, yeah, he should have something special?
(or, buck finds out eddie's never had a valentine and takes matters into his own hands)

Summary
“Buck,” Eddie says, a small smile curving at the edge of his mouth, “wanna get married? For our honeymoon, we’ll scam your parents out of some money and make Ravi’s accountant do our taxes.”
“Well,” Buck says drily, “that sounds like an offer I can’t refuse.”
“I’m sorry,” Eddie says, in his very best – meaning very bad – impression of Buck when he gets his hands on a clipboard. “What was that?”
“Yes, Eddie,” Buck says, putting on an air of suffering despite the butterflies making themselves at home in his stomach. Man, whoever Eddie ends up proposing to for realsies is gonna be so lucky. “I’ll marry you.”
or: buck is invited to a family reunion and realises that there's a good chunk of money waiting for him. there’s one issue, though: he has to be married to claim it, and right now, he’s painfully single. it’s a good thing he has such a great best friend in eddie, right?

Summary
If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.
But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.
Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.
Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.
“Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”
____
OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?
