Summary
His first thought, when the taste of bitter rust and crumpled petal hit him, was: I’ve drowned before.
His second thought was: What am I doing here?

Or, a hanahaki AU where Wylan coughs up jurda blossoms, Jesper comes home from six years of Grisha training in Ravka, and the blood on Kaz’s gloves is definitely not from planning a coup.

Summary
Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.
Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.
----------------------
Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

Summary
“No, man, I’m Eddie. Eddie Munson from algebra? We both flunked math horrendously and you kept bothering me for my notes, as if that was going to help. I’m what your old friends said about me. Y’know…freak drug dealer satanist Eddie Munson? That’s me.”
“Oh,” Steve breathes out. “Oh”—he snaps his fingers on both hands and points finger guns in Eddie’s direction—“That’s why I’m here! Because you’ve got drugs! And I’m somebody who needs ‘em!”
“Uhhh”—Eddie reappears in the living room, two glasses of ice water in his hands—“no, absolutely not. I am not selling anything to you, dude.”
“Is it ‘cause of my face? ‘Cause that’s why I need drugs. It hurts.”

Summary
Steve can't stop thinking about Eddie's fingers, and Robin is no help. It's too bad the bell over the door is broken, and he misses when Eddie saunters into Family Video in the middle of their conversation.
“How would I know? I can say with one hundred percent certainty that I’ve never noticed a man’s hands. Let alone, Eddie’s hands.” She rolls her eyes and scoops up a nearby stack of video returns.
“Oh come on. With the way he’s always throwing them around? You’ve never once thought about them? Like, what they might feel like or…whatever?”

Summary
“Is that Steve fucking Harrington?”
“What’s it to you?” Mike asks snottily. Max turns toward him, already snarling in protection, but Wheeler’s got Steve’s head cradled in his lap, and he’s got his arms raised like he can shield him from this nameless threat.
“What’d you do to his face?” Eddie demands, almost whining, like Steve Harrington having his face bashed in is an affront to him personally.
Or: on the way to the tunnels with Steve Harrington passed out in the back seat, Max crashes into Eddie's van.

Eddie's in pain.
Which isn't new. After the bats, and the nerve damage, and the scar tissue that now wraps around around him, pain is as constant of a companion as Jeff or Gareth or Freak.
What is new, is Steve.

Summary
"Don't call me that."
He chances a look over at Eddie, at the risk of appearing as vulnerable as he feels, and to his distress, he can't get a read on the man. His dark eyebrows furrow, brown eyes squinting slightly, and his lips part like he wants to speak. He licks them. Steve's eyes follow the motion unintentionally.
"Call you what?" Eddie says on an exhale. "A brat?"
Steve shakes his head. "Harrington. Don't like it when you call me that."
-
Or, Eddie calls Steve pet names, and Steve wants to kiss him about it.

Summary
Wayne Munson’s lived his life mostly free from the hubbub of small town gossip. Some was unavoidable in his tiny holler as a boy; more was part and parcel to the service, and plain keeping half-sane in war, but the point of the matter is this: he don’t mean to collect any of the latest scuttlebutt on his way just to town after he gets off his shift just past 5, where the diner's got a better cup-o-joe than the sludge he gets on the floor.
And honest: he don’t think that’s more than he’s earned the right to ask.
But it is more than he bargained for signin’ up to, when he sees the only other people in the diner at this hour on a Saturday.
-
Or: Wayne maybe sees his nephew's boy with a lady friend at the diner one innocuous weekend morning, and he maybe overhears some concerning words shared between the two of them—he can't be blamed for being unable to turn off his own ears.
It could be argued, however, that he can be blamed for the conclusions he draws as a result, and for the handwringing that follows. He was raised better than to countenance idle gossip, after all.

Summary
Steve starts unpacking everything out of the shopping bags with the urgent efficiency of someone building a sandcastle as the tide comes in. It all happens so abruptly, Eddie actually wonders if Vecna’s back and he should jump into high alert as well.
“Steve?” Eddie asks, cautious and the immediate tightening of Steve’s jaw is all the indication he needs. Vecna isn’t the case. And Steve doesn’t seem to be injured either. Eddie’s fucked up somehow. “Is everything okay?”
(or; Eddie encourages Steve to get back together with Nancy one too many times and Steve doesn't take it well)

Summary
Because he is only human after all, a gay human, actually, with a huge, embarrassing gay crush on Steve Harrington (just a crush though, no real feelings, no because that…hahaha, that would be a real fucking problem and Eddie has enough of those, seriously) and now…
Now that exact Steve Harrington is standing there, in the middle of the living room, in front of the sofa all the gremlins are scrambled on together and- and he’s holding a baby.
Eddie feels like the breath got knocked right out of his lungs.
Or: Steve with babies is the cutest thing in the world and you cannot convince the author (or Eddie) otherwise.

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
"Steve", she says and it sounds almost shockingly similar to when she said his name after he had said "but Tammy Thompson's a girl". Like she's almost begging him to use his brain. And Steve is. Using his brain.
He's just scared.
So goddamn scared.
"It's not Eddie you're jealous of", she says and there is it, that's it, that's the truth.
The scary but undeniable truth.
Of course it's not Eddie he's jealous of.
Or: Eddie and Steve move to NYC together and when Eddie starts hooking up with guys Steve feels weird about it. It takes some revelations and even more phone calls with Robin to understand it’s jealousy

Summary
The first time? It’s the flukiest fluke of all flukes. And Eddie doesn’t even realize it, and can only suspect—barely—and daydream—pathetically—about it after the fact.
-
Or: Eddie didn’t know the one night stand he was fantasizing about a future with from the get-go was famous. But one morning-after breakfast, followed by one joyfully-offered-then-gut-wrenchingly-lost number, followed again by one uncanny second chance to connect, leaves Eddie less clueless about who his prefect husband is, than about how the hell a middle class fuck from Podunk, Nowhere could possibly deserve his time. Let alone keep him.
Lucky for Eddie, there’s no version of Steve Harrington who doesn’t deal in grand gestures (and loves with everything he’s got).
