Summary
“Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-”
“I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him.
Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.”
“Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously.
Or: Road trip!

Summary
That's when Tommy realized he was, like, the worst fucking friend ever. Because Steve was an omega and they had learned in health class that omegas craved physical contact. And Steve, a secret male omega with shitty absentee parents, wasn’t getting any love at home and he couldn't exactly reach out and ask his buddies for some cuddles. No one but Tommy knew about him and Tommy sure as shit hadn't been offering to hold his hand.
So now here Steve was, getting a goddamn contact high because he was squished in between Davey Bower, who smelled like ball sweat and Cheetos, and Andrew Floyd, who looked like a fucking toe. But Steve was too blissed out on, like, happy omega hormones to care about that, and Tommy was the shittiest best friend in Hawkins.
Goddammit. Tommy was going to have to start giving Steve hugs. He was going to have to give him so many goddamn fucking hugs.
When Steve presents as a rare male omega he is forced to hide his status and question his worldview; he learns to be less shallow, more caring, and more open-minded. Tommy Hagan stays loyal to his best friend and is dragged kicking and screaming into being a better person too.
Just a little bit, though. Like, maybe 10% better.

Summary
"What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”
OR
Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.
(But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

Summary
Moments like this made him feel normal. He was making dinner for the person he loved after work. He wasn't someone who fought monsters from another dimension. He didn't have nightmares, or panic attacks, or migraines. He certainly hadn't ever been beaten nearly to death in a Russian bunker.
He was just Steve. And he loved Eddie.
--
This is the sequel to There's No Mystery to This Man.
A slight AU where Steve and Eddie have been together since the previous summer. Leading into season 4.

Summary
People in small towns like Hawkins tended not to like things that were weird. As far as Steve could tell, "weird" included metalheads, gays, and witches. After spending a little time with Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley, and Joyce Byers, Steve decided the average Hawkins resident could take a hike. He liked metalheads, gays, and witches. Hell, he might just be a couple of those things.
He's never getting into metal, though. Sorry, Eddie.
And, uh, sorry about some of the witch stuff, too.

Summary
Steve stopped stock still and stared at Eddie.
“Don’t,” the other man warned, holding up a finger.
Steve gaped at him. “What are you wearing?” he asked in something akin to horror.
“I said don’t,” Eddie repeated desperately. “It’s fucking… I had a clothes disaster! Okay?!”
Robin emerged from the back and barked out a laugh.
“Oh my God, you’re dressed like Steve!” she cackled. “Gross!”
Or five times Eddie made Fashion Choices (and one time Steve did something about it).Bookmarked by HeySad

Robin raised her brows.
“You know what, Harrington?” She nodded her head. “Yeah, you know what? I dare you to make a friend. I dare you.”
Read for Steve in Denial, excessive D&D gameplay, Robin as a mermaid, and Eddie's glinting rings.
As one reader said “the most frustratingly dense version of Steve I have ever read and I am HERE for it”

Summary
Steve was tired.
He had been tired for years.
Ever since that fateful encounter with the Demogorgon, where his life was literally turned upside down (no pun intended) and he found out that monsters were real. Where he started his yearly tradition of getting the shit kicked out of him. Where he had to go home afterwards to an empty house where Barb had died in his goddamn pool.
Steve was so fucking tired.Bookmarked by HeySad

Summary
Steve left everything behind after Vecna. He’s living on his own, struggling to navigate life with no friends, no family, no one to lean on or to ask for help, and he has no one to blame but himself. But he’s fine. He doesn’t have any other choice; he’s made his bed, and now he has to lie in it. He’s fine.
And then Eddie Munson walks back into his life, and Steve is forced to confront all the decisions he made for real this time.

Summary
"The hanky code was a covert sartorial code used predominately by queer men in the 1970s and into the 1980s. Simply put, a bandana is worn in one's back pocket for the purposes of sexual signaling."
Steve gets high and asks a lot of questions. Eddie sees right through it.

Summary
In 1983, Nancy tells Steve to run. He does. In 1986, he follows Jason Carver, but when he finds Eddie in the boathouse and he tells him of something impossible, Steve believes him.
Steve squints at him. He’s a drunk who forgets the name of the girl of the day. “What’re you going to do? Hand him in to the cops?”
Jason narrows his eyes. “I’m going to make him pay. He’s killed another. On the news, did you see? I need to stop him before —”
“— Jason,” he cuts him off, “man, this is…”
Bitterly, Steve thinks he’s beautiful, rotten and beautiful and Steve’s perfect mirror if maybe he were braver. He would have revenge against his mother; against the monster; against his father. Revenge against the line where parent and monster blurs, where wombs and umbilical cords knot into this unnameable terror. If only Steve were braver. “Harrington,” says Jason, “it’s Chrissy.” And he says it like Steve might once have said Nancy and it stings like something old and foreign and he chases that escape from the numbness, something that isn’t numb but sharp and painful. “It’s Chrissy.”
