    Summary

    “Oh,” Eddie gasped in surprise at the proximity, glancing behind Stevie to see what she was looking at. “What are you- what is going on? Is someone stalking you? You haven’t been this weird in ages.”

    Nice. Stevie was being weird. Good.

    She wasn't bad looking, all things considered. If it wasn't for all the tattoos, maybe-

    But wait. That was right. Munson had that really awkward rumor about her, didn't she?

    Summary

    Come hell or high water, Steve Harrington will be popular. But surely there has to be a better way of gaining accolades than what he’s been doing so far.

    And then, because Billy is apparently suicidal, he says, ‘Lay it on me, Harrington, pretend I’m a pretty girl.’

    Steve swallows.

    It’s beautiful.

    Summary

    November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.

    / or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

    Summary

    'You know where you are, right?’

    Steve frowns, looks at Eddie for the first time. ‘America?’

    Eddie’s patience frays so hard it almost snaps. He gets hold of Steve’s face, fingers digging in hard. ‘I put my ass on the line for you, I lost money I don’t have and I’m gonna need you to snap the fuck out of this, right? We’re both gonna end up dead otherwise.’

    Steve strokes the side of Eddie’s cheek. ‘Don’t be scared of dying,’ he whispers, tone melodic. ‘We’ll just try again next time.’

    Kid’s lost it.

    Fucking hell.

    Eddie shrugs away from the touch, hisses. ‘No, see, I’m not dying for anybody, you get me? Now, I fucked up back there and I helped you so the least you can do is help me.’

    ‘Help you,’ Steve says, nodding slowly. ‘OK. All right.’

    ‘Yeah, damn fucking straight it’s all right. No more of this loopy shit. You gotta watch your back.’

    Steve’s eyes are hopelessly expressive. Eddie almost wishes he’d go back to the celestial disconnect of before. ‘Watch your back. Promise.’

    Summary

    Dangerous people don't become complacent simply because they should. They become complacent because they're aware they're the most dangerous in the room.

    Or - Steve & Robin and the kind of (dangerous) touch it takes to save the world.

    Summary

    Pyrrha looked at Camilla with a question in her eyes, got some unspoken response, and added: “Also, I resent the implication that we're not already a real family. We have an absent father, somewhere between one to three kids, and are all fucked up to hell. What else do you need, the picket fence?”

    “Well,” Nona said, looking mournfully at the sniper blinds, “it would be nice.”

    On New Rho, public perception forces Nona's household to make their ambiguous bonds a little less ambiguous. Or: Pyrrha and Camilla get fake married.

    Summary

    “What if I don’t want to choose?” Keeley asked, even though she knew that was impossible. She would have to make a choice, even if it was to value her friendship with both over choosing either of them.

    “What? Like date both of us at once until you figure it out?” Jamie asked.

    Roy was staring at Jamie now. Or maybe glaring. It was hard to tell.

    “What if I just want two boyfriends?” she asked.

    She had meant it as a joke to try to lighten the mood. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she wanted to take them back.

    They weren’t laughing. They didn’t look like they thought she was joking.

    Set after season 3. Keeley doesn't know what to do about having feelings for both Roy and Jamie. They agree to her having separate relationships with each of them, but as time goes on the lines between Roy and Jamie get more and more blurred.

    “Oookay," The woman drew out, one ringed hand sweeping at Stevie's hair. "Hey there, Uhh. You're kind of in my lap. Can you get up?"

    Rude.

    Couldn't she see Stevie was trying her best?

    Summary

    Roy hadn’t seen him the last time he was in London, eyes full of fear as his bad decisions caught up with him and kept him from returning to football. She told him to talk to Ted, thinking Ted would happily agree to sign him back to the squad. Why wouldn’t he? Richmond still hadn’t won a match, Rebecca was getting increasingly irritated with all the draws, and they were in a slump that Jamie Tartt could definitely pull them out of. She didn’t know if Jamie actually spoke with Ted, but Ted never mentioned seeing him, and Jamie never showed up at Nelson Road. She tried to ring him once to find out if he was okay. It rang and rang and eventually went to voicemail. She left him a message that was never returned.

    That wasn’t like Jamie.

    Summary

    It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

    Steve fails. They lose.

    “Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

    His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

    “I lost count.”

    AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

    Summary

    When good luck hit Eddie, first by Billy Hargrove waking him up in the Upside Down, then by figuring out a plan to actually get back, executing that plan to success and crawling out of Lover's Lake only to find Steve Harrington eating a bag of chips whilst he sat on the front of his car. He didn't know quite what to do with it. He simply sat at the water's edge as the sun went down, breathed in a way he'd almost forgotten how to and watched Billy Hargrove shake Steve mercilessly by the shoulders before Steve dropped his chips and slapped him across the face in shock. 

    ---

    In September 1986, Eddie Munson and Billy Hargrove find themselves on the shore of Lover's Lake, only to be found by Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    Carol’s entire mind goes blank.

    Because Robin is warm and the world is ice fucking cold and she was alone out here and now not and Robin isn’t kissing her like she’s sorry, it’s not gentle, it’s not sweet.

    It’s hungry.

    And Carol is too, she is fucking starved.

    She kisses back, she shows off, makes it good and slutty, moans all high the way boys like and Robin gasps into her mouth, holding her face.

    ‘You’re trouble,’ she tells Carol, like it’s praise.

    Carol leers, licks over her mouth, triumphant. ‘You must like the taste.’

    In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”

    “So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”

    Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.

    *

    Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.
