Shipwrecked in the '80s (Still Adrift in the '90s) by thisapplepielife

Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
Working with Steve Harrington is… not what Robin had expected.
It’s abundantly clear that he doesn’t want to be here (join the club, buddy), but it isn’t half as difficult to get him to do things as Robin had thought it would be.
Honestly, she’d been expecting a spoiled rich kid: someone who had no idea how to do the kind of labor involved in a minimum wage job. Instead, she’s (almost pleasantly) surprised to find that when the time comes, he actually buckles down and works. He scoops ice cream, he restocks, he cleans, he takes on customers with a smile that could actually pass as real – he does his job.
The surprises don’t end there.
-
Robin learns a number of surprising things about Steve Harrington over the summer of 1985. She's not even sure the fact that he's had numerous brushes with another dimension takes the top spotSeries

Summary
“What in the world are you doing here?” he then asks, when he got his voice back and Steve, now kneeling on the ground sorting through the dirty laundry he brought, just shoots him a look.
“Uhh…laundry?” He looks a little lost, as if he doesn’t really understand the question.
“Um, yes, I can see that,” Eddie replies, shutting his book, “but why is Steve Harrington doing laundry…here? At a laundromat?”
Steve frowns and turns completely around, giving Eddie his full attention now. “Well, Eddie Munson” he says, putting emphasis on it, as if to prove Eddie’s not the only one who knows full names around here. “There’s a very simple answer to that. I don’t have a washing machine…but I like to wear clean clothes. You know?”
or: It’s laundry day. Eddie runs into Steve Harrington. Something’s not adding up.

Summary
No one tells Eddie Munson anything.
He didn’t know there was a hellmouth beneath the town until it crept into his trailer and nearly killed him.
He didn’t know that Dustin and Mike’s minds for Dungeons and Dragons were based on real life experiences until Dustin found him in Reefer Rick’s shack.
He didn’t know that Steve Harrington was actually a pretty good guy until he took his side against improbable odds, nor did he know that Steve would stick around when all was said done— well after Eddie’s wounds stitched themselves back together alongside the gashes in the center of Hawkins— until he did.
And he sure as shit didn’t know that he’d gone and developed an all-consuming crush on Steve until his unlikely new friend, Nancy “I’m Observant And Know Everything” Wheeler, had to go and bring it up.
Or, Eddie's been writing love letters he never intends to send. When he's interrupted by Steve for an impromptu fake date, he receives much more than the promised promotional free dessert.

Summary
“Oh, hey,” Steve's voice picks up. “I have a voicemail from you.”
Eddie slams his head against the door. “Please don’t listen to it.”
“What? Why not?”
“Steve,” Eddie pleads. "I'm serious."
“Whoops, my finger slipped.”
And the voicemail starts playing.
“Heeeeeeey. What’s up, Stevie? Steve. Steve Harrington. What is up. Sooo…” past-him hiccups, a giggle bursting free. “I’m drunk as fuck, man— and, uh, my inhibitions are lower. Lowered. Low. Which means I can talk to you, ‘cause sober me’s a total coward. Like, charged as a wuss and arrested on the spot. And, uh… I suck. ‘Cause I’m so fucked up over you, man.”
Eddie squeezes his eyes shut against the sudden burn in his eyes.

Summary
After defeating Vecna, Eddie settles into life surrounded by suspicion and judgement. The government agents who covered up the Vecna Event, even intimated that they'll be able to give the Munson some compensation for their troubles. But that doesn't mean that life is easy when everyone in town still thinks Eddie killed Chrissy Cunningham. The only solace Eddie finds is in the new, blossoming friendship he's found with Steve Harrington. But as the pair get closer over the summer of '86, Eddie can't shake the knowledge that one day, maybe soon, that call is going to come, and he and Wayne will be given an impossible choice - stay and try to get by, or leave and start anew.

Summary
Eddie can’t sleep.
He blames it on the uncomfortable bed in Steve’s guest room, all the people coming and going at all hours, the nightmares, the pain, the loneliness and fear.
Most of all, he blames it on Steve Harrington.

Summary
Eddie furrows his brows, and he’s about to ask Steve what he did come over here for, when Steve starts to shrug out of his jacket. Rolls his shoulders back and lets it slide down his upper arms.
“I came over here,” Steve starts, and he gives his arm a shake when the sleeve gets caught around his elbow. Once it’s off, he bunches his fist into the fabric of the collar. “To give you this,” he finishes and holds out the coat.
Eddie blinks down at it. Then he looks back up at Steve. “What?”
Or, three times Eddie looks cold and Steve does something about it, and one time he’s toasty warm.

Summary
Steve sidles up to the bench. Munson stands at the other end of it, arms crossed tightly over his chest, glaring out at the street as if that will make the bus show up any quicker. His bangs are flat against his forehead, the rest of his long hair lank and wet over his shoulders.
He looks like a drowned cat.
So Steve holds out his umbrella. Tilts his chin and raises his eyebrows at Munson as an invitation to step under and get out of the rain.
Munson looks at the umbrella for less than a second before he turns back towards the street with a scoff. “No thanks,” he says. “I’m good.”
“Dude,” Steve says, dumbfounded.
“Dude,” Munson parrots mockingly.
“You’re really going to turn down my umbrella?” Steve asks, still holding it out.
“I really am,” Munson replies, showing all of his teeth in a rancorous smile. “Now if you don’t mind,” he adds, taking a large step forward, closer to the curb and further from Steve.
Steve lets out an indignant huff and pulls his umbrella back to himself. Only just refrains from muttering an unsavory name under his breath because he’s a good person now.
Whatever. Let Munson get soaked. Let him freeze.

Summary
Their room is the last door on the right, just like Joyce told them.
Eddie pushes inside first, immediately flicking the lights on. He spots their bags in the corner and beelines straight for them.
Steve, on the other hand, freezes in the doorway.
Because, oh. Oh.
There’s only one bed.
Which — Steve doesn’t know why this surprises him. This isn’t a hotel. It’s a guest room at a friend’s house. Of course it’s not going to have two beds in one room. He doesn’t know why he was expecting that.
But it’s — it’s fine. This is cool. He can share a bed for the night. He’s shared lots of beds in his day. There’s nothing different about this time.
Except that there is because he doesn’t have to share with just anybody. He has to share with Eddie.
Eddie, who hasn’t even batted an eye at the bed situation. Eddie, who seems cool as a cucumber about it. Eddie, who—
Who’s already shucked his shirt off and has his thumbs hooked into his sweats, about to tug those off too, and jesus fucking christ, Steve can’t do this. He cannot do this.

Summary
“Come on, man, what are you waiting for?” Steve calls, several feet out from the shore where he’s treading water with a perfect, practiced ease. Fucking show off. “An invitation?”
“Ha ha,” Eddie shouts back, deadpan. He makes no movement towards the water, though. Just digs his toes into the sand and wiggles them, watching the tiny grains spill into the spaces between and swallow his feet.
He glances up to stare out at the lake, and his stomach roils uneasily at its vastness. The other end is visible from where he stands, but it still seems so far away. They’re nowhere near the middle either, and even Steve isn’t that far out. It still makes Eddie nervous.
The funny thing is, it isn’t even his recent experiences with Lover’s Lake that’s putting this horrible feeling in his gut. Well, okay, maybe it is a little bit. But mostly, it’s because Eddie already didn’t like the water before that. He’s never been a fan.
Because Eddie Munson does not know how to swim.
Or, the one where Eddie Munson does not know how to swim, and Steve Harrington is nothing if not the perfect teacher.

“So what you’re telling me is that you’ve never had a birthday party that was for you? No nerdy superhero themes, no dinosaur balloons, nothing?”
“Nope,” Steve replies, popping the ‘p’ in a way that Eddie just knows he’s picked up from Robin. “The last couple I’ve been too busy to even remember. So, like I said. Not a big deal, don’t make a thing out of it.”
“Oh Steve. Stevie. Babe.” Eddie’s voice has taken on a manic quality that almost always means trouble.
“I am going to make so many things out of it.”
And…yeah. Steve supposes he should have seen that one coming.

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.
