Summary
Steve was in no mood for a party. The Christmas cheer had evaded him this year. There was nothing to celebrate.
Robin had moved away last month, he still hated his job at his dad‘s company, despite the promotions, he’d been through one pointless date after another for what seemed like months, and he’d just been dumped.
And then on top of all that, Eddie had gotten himself a boyfriend.

Summary
It was just another night on the job for Steve, driving a limo for Bauman’s company, except it was prom night 1989 and he had a customer named Munson who was chaperoning a bunch of high schoolers around town—to Benny’s and the arcade, to prom at Hawkins High, and to Lovers Lake afterward for s’mores by campfire.
Over the course of the night Steve found himself drawn into the little family, welcomed with open arms. And more and more he was especially drawn to Eddie.
It felt like everything he did now mattered, every move might affect the rest of his life and the direction it went. That’s what his parents said at least, usually when they were disparaging his job and the fact he’d left his dad’s company. And if every move might affect his life, he was interested in moving towards something he actually wanted, like Eddie and the promise of a future outside Hawkins.

Dear Mr. Henderson,
Eddie Munson has had Steve Harrington erased from his memory. Please never mention their relationship again. Thank you.

———————————A startled laugh fell from Eddie’s lips. “Is this some kind of joke?”
Dustin sighed deeply. “I wish. Guess who I have another one for, that came not too long after yours.”
Or: They meet, they date, they delete. Then find it isn’t so easy to move on like nothing happened.

Summary
Failing another year wasn’t all bad…
Ok, it fucking sucked, who was he kidding?
He’d stayed high as long as it took to get over his ex-boyfriend, Tommy Hagan.
Tommy couldn’t even be his friend apparently. Eddie tried a couple times. He went to parties at Steve Harrington’s house, always seeking Tommy out. He tried to get high with him, offering up free weed.
Eventually he got tired of watching Tommy make out with Carol and buddy up to Steve. Steve was probably his new fuck buddy… Naw, that guy was offensively straight. Steve Harrington and all his feminine conquests.
Still, Eddie thought about messing with Harrington. The guy stared at him. Maybe some light flirting would work or just the right touch, something to give him a hard-on he couldn’t reconcile.
Or:
Eddie is rebounding from a breakup and failing senior year again. Steve is coasting post-high school when Eddie hits on him hard at one of his parties. Steve has never been with a guy. Eddie has never been in love. ‘86 is their year.Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/79DJZeKpTMZYpEO6HtD965?si=CO30Wvn9StiC-Fk475ZuYw

Summary
A weird feeling hangs over Steve lately, like he’s forgotten something. Other times he feels like he’s been in a situation before, like he already lived it; everything is so familiar. And it keeps happening.
The first time is when Nancy’s friend Barb almost drowns in his pool. Steve saves her, barely, even though he’s tipsy and was off messing around. He feels like a shitty lifeguard who almost let someone die on his clock. That night is also the first time he has sex with Nancy.
He feels echoes branching out from those combined events, after-effects that they can’t control.
Or:
Steve is haunted by an inexplicable pull towards Eddie Munson and by feelings of deja vu after the Upside Down is sealed and Hawkins resets to Nov 6, 1983. Everything that happened is forgotten now by the citizens of Hawkins.

Summary
“Is this what we do now? Mark our lives out with cassettes?”
Or: Steve Harrington gets into Real Music. After the events of the spring of 1986, Steve and Eddie stumble through the summer by soundtracking every second of it… Treading a fine line between indisputable classics and annoying-on-purpose cacophonies.
It’s a clash of musical titans. And every mixtape counts!

Summary
“Are you stuck?” Eddie asks.
Steve rolls his eyes. “No, we always put our tree horizontally in the door to keep out the elves, it's an old family tradition. Yes, I'm stuck. I'll have it sorted in a minute, just- … I dunno, shimmy past or something.”

Summary
Eddie spins on his heel in the middle of the room, slowly taking in the space before he fixes Steve with an awkward, closed-mouth smile. Steve feels himself return it. Ringed fingers curl and straighten compulsively by Eddie's side as he tilts his head.
“And we’re sure there are no other rooms?”
Steve feels the smile slide off his face.
OR
In the aftermath of their final battle against Vecna, Hawkins is put under quarantine. Steve and Eddie bunk up.

Summary
Steve thinks there’s something to be said about theater majors. But mostly, there’s something to be said about Eddie Munson, and how Steve wants to grab him by his stupid cape and strangle him.
