Summary
Jonathan wants to rush after Steve, to explain, but there's no time. Not when the kids have found another gate, not when there's more than his love life at stake.
Now he might never get a chance to explain.
Or: Steve walks into a conversation between Jonathan and Nancy at just the wrong time, and then everything gets worse (because Steve's just gone and tried to die for them, and this time, they might not get him back.)

Summary
Steve Harrington has always been restless. Bouncy, that’s what his mom used to call him. He mostly learned how to tamp down on the physical manifestations of his restless energy in front of others because it turns out that if you’re relentlessly yelled at or humiliated over something, you eventually try to avoid said thing. And if that grew into a creeping sort of anxiety that seeped into him as the years went by, well, he learned to ignore that too.
Then Steve walks into the Byers house and finds out that monsters are real, monsters with teeth for faces that literally rip through the fabric of reality, and, well, he thinks the anxiety that Nancy (amateurly) diagnosed him with is perfectly warranted. All of the sudden, being home alone while his parents are on vacation or business trips is no longer exciting. Now, instead of being happy to have the whole house to himself, walking through his dark and empty home makes his heart race, and he swears he sees shadows slinking along the walls in the dark. He keeps the lights on in every room in the house for a long time.
Or
What happens when Steve meets Eddie before season 4, adopts Max as a pseudo sister, and just cannot sit still?

Summary
“Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”
Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

“What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”

“Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”
Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”
“You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.

Good Things for the Bad Sort by hyperrbolic_orange for red_crate
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
15 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
Good things did not happen to Eddie Munson.
It isn't a rule, but going through the world expecting the worst has become a habit. Maybe he's not meant for anything else. If good things do happen, Eddie knows they're just specks in an ocean of crap. For every friend he's made, for every gig that's ended with applause (instead of someone puking on their gear), for every break he's caught… there's always the other shoe, waiting to drop.
These days, Eddie has been looking for the other shoe a lot. So, of course, when he winds up stuck sharing the six-hour train ride from Perdue University back to Hawkins with Steve Harrington, he's immediately on the defensive. But Steve isn't at all like he thought, and the two of them actually kind of get along. Maybe more than get along.
Eddie knows it's dangerous to let himself develop feelings for a guy like Steve, but when Steve enlists his help in getting a last-minute Christmas gift for Robin, he can't help but hope that maybe this time he's destined for something good.

Summary
Eddie believes three core things about the art of performance. 1. all the world's a stage. 2. performance is both a weapon and a shield, he wields it as both. And 3. you can’t act death.
To quote Stoppard: “It’s not gasps and blood and falling about—that isn’t what makes it death. It’s just a man failing to reappear, that’s all…”
And Eddie had gasped and bled and fell about, and was foolish enough in that moment to believe that was death. But he forgot a crucial step: he reappeared.
Or: Steve is taking it day by day, flitting between the high school and the hospital and Hopper’s cabin, locking any thoughts of Eddie Munson away at the back of his mind. Meanwhile, Eddie is just trying to get out of the Upside Down, with nothing but a nail-shield and the world's worst company.
