Summary
Munson is and has always been scathing in his disdain for Steve. Dustin resolutely plays it off like he’s just awkward, but Munson’s the least awkward scientist Steve’s ever known. And he’s been in the Stargate program for over four years now, so he’s known a lot.
In some ways, it’s a general hatred for the Man, the military. He scowls at grunts even as he takes his orders from them. In most ways, it’s just Steve.
or-
Steve's just trying to keep everybody he loves alive in another galaxy.
or-
Eddie and Steve are soulmates... in SPACE!

How to Lose Your Roommate in Six Weeks by thisapplepielife
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
30 Sep 2025

Summary
"You and me. Six weeks. No strings. Just fucking," Steve says, and it's not a question. He's already decided. Eddie just needs to get on board. This is happening.
"You've lost your goddamn mind," Eddie says, shaking his head as his voice gets too high, shrill.

Tags
Summary
A chance encounter with a mysterious woman ends with Eddie making a career change he never would have considered. Working as a male escort has its perks, and the tips for his extra services are too tempting to pass up. He loves his job. He’s good at his job. He’s professional. Charming. Adapts to whatever his clients need him to be.
He never gets thrown off his game. Never lets emotions get involved. Never crosses the line between business and something more.
Until Steve Harrington.

Summary
"All he can really remember is how when the big, gray dogs from hell jump out of nowhere, Steve Harrington leaps out into the open, swinging a studded bat with an ease that couldn’t have come from whatever sport team he was captain for.
The junkyard is silent, and Eddie supposes that’s where it starts, heart pounding with more questions than possible answers."
Or, in which Eddie's late night trip to the junkyard drops him right in the middle of a fight with the Upside Down. And, unfortunatley (or not, depending on how you look at it) Steve Harrington doesn't look half-bad swinging his baseball bat around at all the monsters haunting town.

Summary
Eddie Munson likes to think he's a guy who minds his own business. That is, until Steve Harrington, the popular captain of the hockey team, walks into his coffee shop with a black eye and looking like he needs a friend.
Eddie is that friend. And he tried not to get involved, but he did. Now, five years later, Eddie doesn't know it yet, but he's about to run into Steve and face the crush he had been nursing for five years, even though he hadn't talked to Steve since that day. Even though Steve is now a famous NHL player.
What could go wrong?
Or; Eddie is a baker and Steve is a hockey player and they have been crushing on each other for five years.

“And no one left to love”, Steve breathes out quietly, tears pooling in the corners of his eyes again.

“Eddie? What date is it?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know how long I’ve been out. March… 30? April 1st? Oh. Oh is it… is it April Fools? Cause it’s a shitty joke, Mayfield.”
“What year is it Eddie?”
He smiles at that, chuckles at the irony even though Max looks more and more upset, “It’s 1986, baby, my year.”*~*~*~*
The year is 2003 and Eddie Munson has missed a couple of things.

Sweet, with just the right amount of angst
A tiny bit of smut, like one sentence-worth. Barely enough for an E rating. -
Tags
Summary
Eddie leans in, his face drawing closer to Steve’s. His eye catches the faint silver glint of Eddie’s rings where they rest against his skin. And for a split second, Steve’s mind short-circuits. He thinks Eddie is going to kiss him.
So why does he lean in, too?
Steve barely registers what he’s doing until his nose brushes the side of Eddie’s cheek, warm and slightly tacky from sweat. His skin tingles with the contact, the tension between them tightening like a drawn bowstring.
Then Eddie’s lips part—not to kiss, but to speak.
“Hey.” Eddie’s voice is temptingly husky as he tilts his head to whisper directly into Steve’s ear. The vibrations of his words send a shiver down Steve’s spine, and it takes everything in him not to react visibly. “After the set, what do you say we head back to our room?”
OR.
Eddie shows Steve how to loosen up on an underground rock club's dancefloor. There are better places to be stiff, after all.

It should be simple. Eddie is gay. Steve is hot. So, when Steve is striking out with chicks, Eddie will get him off, look after himself and then they'll go back to their regularly scheduled afternoon.
Only, it really isn't simple, and Eddie should have known better than to open his mouth to suggest it.

Angsty Eddie & ”didn’t know they were dating” Steve -
Tags
Summary
Eddie shifts his weight, pressing himself closer to Steve’s side.
This was his little game and he always won. For more than a year now, Eddie has been the undisputed king of personal space invasion.
Steve casually sips his beer, seemingly unaware of the fact that they're too fucking close.
Totally, utterly unaffected.
Eddie enjoys invading people’s personal space, just to mess with them. Steve's complete disregard for boundaries makes him the ultimate challenge.

Summary
Steve almost whispers, “We’re, uh… we’re doing this then?”
Eddie swallows, pretends it’s not basically a gulp. He nods, pretends it’s not a little frantic.
“You’re sure?” Steve says, moving closer to Eddie as if to test the waters.
“Yes,” Eddie says.
Steve closes the rest of the distance so they’re sitting with their legs pressed against each other. He tentatively reaches out, taking hold of Eddie’s hand where it rests on his knee, like it’s the easiest way to establish physical contact.
Steve looks up at him, earnest as Eddie’s ever seen him. “You’re totally, completely, and one-hundred percent sure you want to do this?”
Eddie tries and fails not to roll his eyes and groan.
“Like I said, I am sure, so please, for the love of all that is good and holy, do not make me beg you to fuck me,” Eddie says, grateful that his voice isn’t shaking like the rest of his body.
(or: Eddie tries not to lose his ever loving mind when his best friend Steve offers to take his virginity)

Summary
It’s 1996.
Ten years have passed and everything has changed.
And for everyone Steve loves, it’s been for the better: Robin is elatedly working her ass off in the city, Dustin is across the country working a computer job that Steve only pretends to understand, Max and Lucas are a picture of domestic bliss off in Michigan, and Eddie is a bona fide fucking rock star.
Everyone has everything they’ve always wanted.
But Steve? Well, Steve’s working an office job that he hates, all of his friends are woefully out of reach, his marriage has reached its breaking point—and he hasn’t got the damnedest clue who he is anymore.
Just before he can truly capitulate to all he’ll never be, a call from Robin forces a reunion with his on-top-of-the-world former friend, Eddie Munson. And during one fateful week that follows, Steve is finally able to answer every question he’s ever had about himself.
For better and for worse.OR: it's 1996. Eddie's a rockstar. Steve's getting a divorce. Steve is taking it super well.

Summary
“Sorry,” Steve says. “I’m sorry, I know this doesn’t make any sense to you, but can I just–”
Eddie lets him approach, this time. Lets him reach out to touch, to curl his fingers in the hem of Eddie’s shirt.
“Sorry, I know I probably sound crazy, I just––” he pulls it up, stares at Eddie’s side, and then lets out a hysterical little noise that sounds like a cross between a laugh and a sob.
“You’re ok,” Steve says.
His fingers are hot on Eddie’s skin, pressed light and shockingly reverent to the space between his hip and rib cage.
“You’re ok,” he repeats. It sounds like he’s trying to convince himself.
“Hey,” Eddie says. It comes out more breathless than he’d prefer but Steve fucking Harrington has him backed against a wall in a bathroom with his hands up Eddie’s shirt so he thinks a little lack of air is warranted. “Are you ok?”
The fingers on his abdomen flex. "No,” Steve says. His eyes are wide and fathomless and the look on his face is terrible. “No, I’m not even remotely ok.”

Summary
In the wake of yet another overtly public scandal, the lead guitarist for the folk metal band Corroded Coffin is sent away to his Uncle’s town of Bumfuck Nowhere, Indiana to spend his summer taking care of himself.
Which said lead guitarist certainly doesn’t need. Because Chrissy is overreacting, and Eddie doesn’t need to be treated like a Victorian child with a prescription for ocean breezes, he needs to be in LA with his band, practicing. Writing. Rehearsing.
He’s fine.
But his manager’s will is iron, and Eddie arrives at his uncle’s door feeling much like the homeless teen he was a mere decade ago, tail between his legs as he asks for more than he’s ever been able to give, and taking more than he can ever hope to repay.
With Wayne taking his arrival in stride, Eddie is forced to integrate himself into this new, slower-paced reality. He harvests chicken eggs. Churns mayonnaise. Takes a stab at home repair and weeds Wayne’s garden, all while eyeing the unfairly hot beekeeper next door.
However as the summer progresses, and Eddie falls faster and deeper than he ever imagined, this new reality forces him to grapple with what his fame has given him, and what it has taken away.

Summary
With twenty-three years of life and zero years of dating experience under his belt, Eddie decides that he doesn't want to spend another Valentine's Day alone. He's determined to find a date for the upcoming holiday, capitalist bullshit be damned. The problem with having not dating experience, though, is having no idea what the hell he's doing or how to get a date. Steve, on the other hand, is practically a professional, and decides to do his duty as Eddie's best friend and roommate: give him some on-the-job experience. However, with each passing date, Eddie realizes that Valentine's Day is the least of his concern, and getting through these practice dates while keeping his feelings in check is the real challenge.
or
Five times Eddie takes Steve on a fake date, and one time Steve takes Eddie on a real one.
