Summary
TW: Suicidal ideation, referenced suicide attempt, past self-harm, disassociation, gore, use of the word "queer" as an insult (briefly and in reference to a past comment made by Steve's father).
Eddie's dead and Steve is left to deal with the fact that he never got a chance to tell him how he felt. And when it turns out that Eddie isn't dead? Well, what else can he do but head back into the Upside Down and drag him back topside?
-- He pointed at the shattered mirror, “Let’s say that you are actually Eddie and you are actually alive and that this isn’t me having some kind of mental break. How would I find you?”
“NO!”
He ground his teeth, “Don’t you say ‘no’ to me Eddie Munson. Consent is sexy, but I don’t need your consent to go into the Upside Down and drag your ass back topside.”
“The hell you don’t!" --

“Robin, it’s fucking obscene.”
“You’re obscene,” she squawks.
“I am but he’s so much worse,” Eddie insists. “He just, oh my god, all week Robin. All. Fucking. Week.”
“I do not need to know about your weird food kinks,” Robin makes a face and then pretends to gag.
“It’s not a fucking food kink, it’s a Steve’s mouth kink,” Eddie growls.- Language:

Summary
Eddie had always expected that he would find his soulmate through the snap of a broken guitar string, or the needle burn of his tattoos. Instead, Billy Hargrove breaks a plate over Steve’s Harrington’s head and Eddie finds himself tied to a boy he knows only through the lens of the high school hierarchies.
Almost a year later, Eddie has spent time learning everything he can about Steve - the way he thinks, the things that send him into a panic he can't - or won't - explain, the look in his eyes before he says something heinously bitchy and devastatingly funny. He and Uncle Wayne have found themselves permanent seats at Victoria Harrington’s Sunday Dinners, and Eddie can almost ignore the rabbit pace of his heart when Steve smiles at him.
Except that Steve has gone missing, had bailed on their plans for the Fourth of July weekend without a word and this would be fine, really, except…
Eddie’s getting bruises that aren’t his own and Victoria hasn’t seen her son in days.
While Eddie's injuries get steadily worse, he and Victoria scramble across town to try and find Steve and save him from whatever nightmare situation he landed in before it’s too late.

Summary
Trapped in the Upside Down after the night in the tunnels went horribly wrong, Steve is doing his best to pick himself up and keep going. Sure, his only company is Dustin’s ill-advised “pet demodog” Dart. And sure, they’re being hunted by the largest demogorgon that Steve has ever seen.
But it could be worse!
It’s not like the Russians are running their own experiments in the Upside Down or anything.

Summary
He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.
Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.
Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.
She turns the keys.
"Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"
"Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.
-------------------
After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

Summary
"Sounds like a blast," Steve says. "I'm glad you have some friends out there, though."
"Yeah, well, for me-" Jonathan swallows, "high school's been a bit less brutal over here than in Hawkins."
Steve merely hums, because he's pretty sure that all of that is his fault. He waits for another minute to pass. "It was nice talking to you, Jonathan," he says honestly, in hopes that they can finally be friends.
---
When Jonathan accidentally calls Steve instead of Nancy, he doesn't quite expect it to spark a brand-new friendship. But, nonetheless, he's soon to find him and Steve growing into much closer friends, and made even something more.

Summary
Tommy knew he was right; after the earthquake, Carol demanded that they go and check on Steve. Even if they weren't friends now, they used to be, and deep-down, Carol knew that Tommy still cared about Steve.
He did. Tommy had un-admittedly grown since their last days of high school.He was an ass in high school, and, thanks to Carol, he was truly trying to be better.
This whole situation was not helping.

Summary
El was never close to Steve Harrington. She's heard a few stories about him being an asshat when he was in high school, but she's never seen him be anything but nice to her friends. It makes her confused, but since her dad can be wary of him at times, she is too.
However, when he shows up at the cabin in the freezing cold dead-of-night, El makes the decision to help him, and it might just be one of the best decisions she makes (besides saving the world).

Summary
Steve Harrington was predictable. He was popular, rich, and people liked him, but that made him boring. He knew, just like everyone else knew, exactly what the rest of his life would look like. He’d graduate, go to some business school, get a job at his Dad’s company (where he would some day take over), settle down with a nice girl, get married, have two and a half kids and a dog, and he’d never amount to anything. This is a tale that has been told over and over again. This is a very old tale.
This is not the correct tale.
Upside Down Detected, Game Mode Unlocked!
Steve's life has suddenly become an RPG. Oh, joy.

It was one thing to suspect and feel that something is wrong. It was another thing to have the evidence laid before him.
“What did you do?”

No friends. No partners. No sleepovers. No attention.
Those were the rules and yet, if he was to properly train himself, then he would need to bend one. As he neared the Hawkins High sign, he made his decision.
Operation Prince Charming was officially starting.
(A Spy Steve fic if you will because I couldn't find any that satisfied my brain so I decided to make one, lol.)

Summary
He looked narrowly between Steve and the members of the Party, and who Steve recognised as the remainder of Hellfire Club too—Eddie Munson included.
Steve had never really interacted with Munson, like, ever. Steve knew Munson got picked on by some of the meaner kids—maybe Tommy once, but he had never been one of those types of kids—not until Jonathan, at least. Some people got off on that kind of thing, the power, whereas for Steve, he needed a reason. He needed to feel his anger directed at the kid, or why would he beat them up? He could beat up a tree instead; it would have the same result. Tommy liked that kind of release, but Carol thought she was above the whole thing, so Tommy did too.
Carver, though.
Carver had always been the other kind. Carol said he got beat up by his daddy, and that was why he was such a bitch. Steve put up with him, openly because he shot well, privately because... well, Carver never turned his shit on Steve, so why was it his problem?
He didn’t think it was until now that he knew what Carol meant about Carver ‘relieving some energy’.
--
Or, King Steve Harrington is a bitch, and Eddie might be into that.
