Summary
“Come to ask for an autograph?” Eddie asked.
“Was it an original?”
“You don’t recognize Sabbath? Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne?”
Altar boy tilted his head to one side like a confused puppy.
“That’s devastating, altar boy.”
“Steve.”
“Huh?”
“My name’s Steve, incase you feel like serenading some more, and, uh, I’m not an altar boy.”
“No?” Eddie’s eyes flicked over him. “You look like one.”
“I’m surprised you’d know, I doubt you’ve ever stepped foot inside a church.”
“And what? You’re gonna change that for me?”
Steve let out an amused exhale. “I suppose no one’s past saving, but you might be a close call.”
“Lucky for you, I didn’t ask for saving. Long live the devil, baby.”
Busker Eddie Munson meets his match in doomsday crier Steve Harrington occupying opposite sides of the street in 1986 Indianapolis.

༒༒ Excerpt ༒༒
Eddie had ‘Fuel’ by Metallica blasting loud enough to disturb a quiet neighborhood while he sped down a main street. Recklessly, yet skillfully, he swerved between cars, going well above the speed limit. He was drumming on the steering wheel of a black 1970s Pantera in tune with the music. The chorus of the song came in and Eddie shouted along with it. “Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desi—” he choked on the last word and nearly slammed on his breaks. For half a second, he saw the nicest ass he’d ever laid eyes on, scantily clad in torn denim. Without a second thought, he turned the car around and drove the wrong way down the road in order to pull into a gas station beside, what he now could see, was a repair shop.

Summary
It was just a baseball.
Steve knew he shouldn't have gone into his neighbor's yard for that stupid baseball when he was twelve, but Tommy Hagen insisted. The worst, Steve thought would happened, would be that he got yelled by his parents. Not this through...not this hell....not this curse. From that day on, anyone who got within 20 feet of Steve Harrington, his friends, strangers, his own parents were overcome with rage and hatred for him.
And where rage and hatred festers, beratements and attacks soon follow.
One day, many years later Eddie Munson, a rather powerful, if not quirky and well-meaning Witch moves to town with his Uncle Wayne. Between hexing bigots and building magical artifacts, Eddie's determined to solve the mystery of the angel that lives in the cabin next to them in the woods.
But can Eddie help him? It's one thing to lift a curse, it's another to mend a body...and a soul.
**If you're looking for a super angsty, hurt/comfort fic where Steve's a hot wood worker and Eddie's a witch, all in an Autumn cabin core setting, look no further!**
