Summary
They say you’re not supposed to keep your eyes open when you kiss. It’s like, rude or whatever. You’re supposed to be in the moment. You’re supposed to let the world fall away and focus on the feeling of someone’s lips against yours.
Or at least, that’s what Steve had been told when his middle school girlfriend had opened her eyes and freaked out when she saw his were already open. They did not have a repeat performance after that. He made sure not to make the same mistake next time, or the time after that, or the time after that, and at some point, the idea had completely left his brain all together.
If he leaned in for a kiss, he closed his eyes. Automatic.

Illusions of a High School Hierarchy by HelpImStuckWriting

Summary
If anyone asked, the hierarchy of Hawkins High went as follows:
The Jocks — top of the food chain, first pick of the lunch tables, free pass for pretty much any shit they wanted to pull, as long as it could be explained away by the teachers. It didn’t matter if they had shitty grades and even shittier personalities. They had money, they had status, they had the world in their hands and that placed them right on the top of every other clique in school. If you talked to them, you were lucky to be ignored, because the alternative wasn’t very appealing.
Hellfire Club — the lowest of the low, the freaks and the outcasts, and the losers that the rest of Hawkins High loved to shit on for no reason other than their own lack of understanding. Even the loners and band geeks looked upon Hellfire like gum on the bottom of their shoes, despite being not so different from each other when it really boiled down. Like the Untouchables, the feudal serfs, the dirty castaways of society everyone stepped around, faces twisted up in disgust like they contained diseases yet unknown to man.

“What is it now, Steve?” Dustin sighed as the walkie cut out. “Are we not giving you enough attention? Is that it?”
“Oh, that’s rich coming from you,” he snapped back.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Summary
Everyone knew Nancy was the smart one. Nancy was the one you went to with school trouble. She was the one who always had class notes, always had flash cards, always came prepared to answer questions and kill a presentation. She was probably up in the top ranks to get valedictorian by senior year, if Barb were being honest.
Except, Nancy was terrible at observing other people. She never really thought about what was going on inside their heads, never really took the time to analyze their behaviors or expressions, like they didn’t really exist outside of her perception of them.

Summary
At first he was floating, at first he was drowning and gasping for air that couldn’t reach his lungs. It scraped through like knives in his throat, clawing and ripping into flesh as he tried to pull in air, or water, or anything that could make the pain go away.
And then it was more of a peaceful nothing. No floating, no drifting, no drowning, just… existence. He wasn’t sure where he was or what was happening or how he got to this nothingness. He wasn’t sure he had a body anymore, or a world to go back to. It was all dark; it wasn’t hot or cold or anything. Just dark.
And then there was light.

Summary
Apparently, when you adopt a bunch of children and they want to go to the movies, you’re not allowed to say no. Give a mouse a cookie, and everything, right? Give teens a movie, and they’ll want a bucket of popcorn. Give them popcorn, and they’ll want to have a drink to go with it. Give them a drink, and they’ll want something sweet. It’s endless, it’s fucking endless, and Eddie had no goddamn clue in the universe that Steve Harrington was incapable of putting his foot down.

Summary
Eddie was… pretty sure he was in a time loop. Delusionally, irrationally, his first thought was that this all started the day he’d seen Steve Harrington break several mall rules because he couldn’t say no to a bunch of children, because if anything was going to propel Eddie straight into the Twilight Zone, it was that. And that was apparently yesterday! Not four days ago, not last week, yesterday.
So, Eddie did the only rational thing he could think of, and called Gareth to say he was sick. He wasn’t against lying to his friends to get to the bottom of a mysterious time anomaly. With any luck, he’d fix… whatever it was, and everything would be back to normal without them even knowing what happened in the first place. Plus… C’mon, any opportunity to see the Scoops outfit, right? If he was stuck in a time loop, he was going to get his money’s worth.

Summary
Steve Harrington didn’t know what love was. He thought he did, a few times. He thought he loved his nanny the way his mother didn’t love him. He thought he loved Nancy the way he hadn’t loved someone else before her. He was wrong about that though, so how would he really know? He didn’t think he’d know what love was if it shoved itself in his face, called him an idiot, and bit him. He knew what love wasn’t, and that didn’t seem good enough. But when he was surrounded by club lights and the alcohol swam through his head, he felt like maybe he could learn, or least pretend for the night until he didn’t feel alone anymore; until he drove himself home in the early morning and felt the ache in his bones that said someone had been there with him, if only for a moment.

Summary
Eddie Munson just wanted to steal Rick's boat, skip school for a day, and float until the sun dropped below the tree line and he could go back home. He didn't expect someone to come crashing through the trees and to find himself playing nurse and squire to King Steve like something straight out of a fantasy novel, or at least the ones that play in his head. But hey, he wasn't doing anything else today.

My Best Guess at the Future by HelpImStuckWriting for Little_Annie

Summary
Steve took in a deep breath as he zipped up Robin’s dress and clasped the delicate gold chain around her neck. He could feel her shoulders shaking under his fingertips, feel her nerves bleed into him like they shared one chest, one heart. He kissed her shoulder, let the chain go, and watched in the mirror as it caught the light, glittering around her bare neck.
He twirled a loose strand of her hair around his fingertip to fix its curl, and sprayed just one spritz of hairspray to hold it in place.
She looked beautiful.
She was beautiful.

Summary
Steve loved his nanny growing up. As a kid, it made him feel special having someone that devoted their attention to him, especially when his parents were too busy to give him theirs. She would hold his hand when they went to the park, and she bought him treats when they were grocery shopping, and she taught him how to bake.
They made cookies and casseroles and bread, and it helped him a lot when his parents came home one day and told him he’d “outgrown” her. He’d kind of thought that she would stay forever — that she was more his family than his parents were — but when she was gone, he realized he didn’t even know her last name. For a while, it really fucked with him, realizing that the one person he thought cared about him was actually just there for a paycheck, that she wasn’t his family, that he was more alone than he’d ever been before.
But, the baking helped.

Summary
The party creeps as quietly as they can into the stone chamber, the guards outside surprisingly easy to distract, a little suspiciously easy to distract. This was supposed to be the end goal, right? Everything they were here for? The king was nowhere to be found, the castle was packed with guards that fell one after the other, like dominos after the slightest tap. The chamber was the end of the line, allegedly filled with the gold stolen from countless families in the name of lining the crowns pockets, and the medicine that Nog’s family needed to survive, hoarded for only the highest bidders. Of course, who could bid on it, when every last penny had already been extorted from the families that needed it most? / Eddie has a little trick up his sleeve during the party's campaign, but Steve's got a little trick, too.

Summary
Eddie’s an idiot. He knows he’s an idiot. He was an idiot when he asked Steve to move to Indy with him, despite his massive crush on the man. He was an idiot when he got used to Steve in his space, cooking dinner and being an all-around perfect man. He was an idiot when he started turning people down at the bar he went to on Saturdays, and he was an idiot when he stopped going all together, just so he could join Robin and Steve’s movie nights in her apartment. He got used to Steve in every aspect of his life and he was an idiot for… forgetting. Forgetting they weren't even together and it was all just Eddie being caught up in his own head.

Summary
It started as a joke, a taunt, and a bet. Or at least, that’s the extent of what Steve remembered. He remembered visiting Las Vegas with Robin, because Eddie and his band had a residency for the next few months and the party had been invited to see a show or two. Nancy, somehow, also got dragged along, and Steve figured he’d be responsible with Nancy around — someone to curb his and Robin’s dumb ideas, someone to be the rational mind as they wandered the streets of Sin City, someone to pull him back and say ‘Don’t be an idiot, Steve Harrington.’
Evidently, he was fully capable of being an idiot, even with Nancy Wheeler around.

Summary
Something weird was going on in Hawkins. Something… vague and unattainable. It was just niggling in the back of Steve’s mind like a whisper or some misty haze that he could almost see, but not quite. It kept hovering in his periphery, poking him for attention, always just out of sight; if he tried focusing on whatever it was, then — poof — it was gone, like it had never been there in the first place.

Summary
Eddie Munson knew he was destined for greatness, even if every adult and peer in Hawkins told him otherwise, and after years of hard work it looked like maybe those people were right. But, despite a major setback that brings them right back to stage one, Corroded Coffin climbs their way up the ladder.
Making it big in the music industry was at the top of Eddie’s list, and the success as he stood at the peak of his career tasted so sweet. He had the fame, he had his band, he had the love of his life — but how long until his luck catches up to him and he brings the whole band crashing down? How long until the world realizes he’s not good enough? He can’t afford to lose it, can’t afford to be anything but perfect, he needs to be perfect, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose Steve Harrington.
