(something happens and I'm) head over heels by GibbousLunation

Summary
Eddie made a strangled disbelieving noise, expression flickering. “You are not apologizing to me right now, for like, feeling a normal way about stuff. I can’t believe you.”
Steve pushed a shaking hand through his hair. His heart rate no longer in his ears meant he felt he could at least think a little more clearly. “Maybe it was the heat. Doesn’t always have to be something messed up, right?”
Eddie gave him a placating nod. “Sure, heat exhaustion is a helluva thing.”
It had been happening a lot recently. The… forgetting. Zonking out. Whatever. He was pretty sure he was just extra exhausted, it had been a few weeks since everything but it might have just been the adrenaline or something finally wearing off. Sometimes it was like he just forgot someone was speaking, or couldn’t remember for a moment what they’d been talking about. Like blinking out of a fog maybe.
It does not get better, in fact, it actually continues to get worse.

Summary
He’s halfway in Eddie’s lap as one kiss becomes three becomes five, and Steve forgets that he needs to breathe until his lungs burn from the lack of oxygen and force him to break away. Eddie chases after him and Steve can’t stop the small laugh that bubbles up in his chest - this is going to be the end of him, Steve doesn’t remember the last time he’s felt so wanted.
Steve wants Eddie, and after weeks of pining, he's sure that Eddie wants him too - until they fall into bed together and suddenly nothing is the same anymore.
In the aftermath, Steve tries to cope with the thought that Eddie just doesn't want him as much as he does Eddie - and Eddie, Eddie is trying to understand how he managed to lose his new best friend and one chance at love at the same time.In the background, Robin and Dustin may be debating if they should just lock the two in a room until they get over themselves and talk it out.

Summary
"Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.
"Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."
"What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.
"You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.
Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"
"No."

Summary
“I get it.” Dustin nods. “Completely fair. But, uh… what if this hypothetical gay person seems like he might be unhappy about it? And I want him to know it’s okay?”
Steve swallows past the sudden lump in his throat.
“That’s actually kind of sweet,” Robin says, sounding touched herself.
“Who is it?” Steve asks.
Robin raises her eyebrows. “It’s the Byers kid, right? I mean, obviously.”

Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
The emergency departments of hospitals are all alike. Some are small, just a couple of rooms, a bathroom, a harried nurse who greets the frequent fliers by name, and some are huge, with dozens of rooms and a team of people who don’t even know each other’s names, let alone the patients.

Summary
Sometimes things don't work out.
Sometimes the person who you thought was the one for you turns into the person you can't stand to be in the same room with for five seconds. Eddie never thought he'd be this way with Steve though. He thought that what they had would be able to withstand anything. And it was that way. Until they grew up.
Sometimes things don’t work out, sure, but sometimes you also have to fight tooth and nail to make sure they do.
And Eddie is ready to fight for Steve.
Or, Eddie and Steve broke up, but Eddie learns how to fight for who he loves

Summary
Steve has an identity crisis and goes to an alternative store, and inadvertently gains Eddie's attention at the same time. Chaos ensues. Oh, also, Steve has alcohol issues and Eddie is an idiot at the start.
OR,
Steve and Robin are working at Scoops Ahoy (post-season 3, pre-season 4) and Steve is a mess, and somehow becomes more of a mess when Eddie starts showing up.
//
The mall didn’t explode or wtv, because I’m in love with Scoops Steve and Robin. Also I haven’t watched Stranger things, so stuff might get canon-divergent in that specific way. Other than the accidentals, it is meant to be canon-divergent.Warnings in chapters!

How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
25 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Summary
“And here I thought you were popular, Harrington,” Eddie puts on a fake, confident grin once he has put the bottle down. “I expected at least one of those hot dates you keep having to be here.” He manages to keep his leg from bouncing, but his thumb is already rubbing over the damp label on the beer bottle, peeling it off.
“Well none of us are that comfortable with crowds these days,” Steve shrugs. “And honestly, I’d rather just hang out with the people that matter.”
Five times Steve almost kissed Eddie and the one time Eddie beat him to it.

Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
20 May 2023

Summary
Sometimes it was miles and miles of bumfuck nowhere, and sometimes the views even on the highway were gorgeous. Steve was driving, so Eddie had his book open in his lap but he wasn’t looking at it, was gazing ahead, or sometimes out the window, or sometimes at Steve. Steve’s stupid shades, despite the un-bright day, and his wilting hair, which Eddie watched him style every morning. They’d been singing ‘Country Road’ over and over again, and it still wasn’t getting old. Just to belt out of nowhere, the other joining in straight away. Any line of the song.
