Summary
It isn’t until high school that the specialists give Tooru an official diagnosis. The biomagnetic field around his heart is too strong, far stronger than should be humanly possible, and that’s why it feels like an electric shock when you touch him. If you get within ten feet of Tooru, you can feel all his emotions, stark and obvious as if his ribcage is wide open, exposing his heart.
“You should have known, Iwa-chan,” Tooru says, lying on his back in the middle of Hajime’s bed, tossing a pillow in the air and catching it. “Everyone can see how magnetic I am. It’s all in my charm. You wouldn’t know about that.”
“This is a medical problem, assface,” says Hajime. “It means something’s wrong with you.”
or: even though hajime can sense tooru's emotions just by standing next to him, it still takes them a few years to figure things out.

Summary
‘Blood?’ Eddie says again.
Eyes black but for the slice of iridescent white in the centre. His teeth are sharp, his hands are weapons and Steve thinks maybe he’s made a mistake doing this without telling Eddie first. Eddie’s focus lowers, it moves to his left hand which is…
Oh fuck.
It’s dripping blood onto the floor.
‘Shit,’ Steve says, takes a single step back, swallows. ‘Eddie, I’m so sorry, fuck.’
Eddie can’t seem to look away, can’t bring his ethereal gaze back up where it belongs. Steve thinks he should run, he should flee. A tiny part of him knows Eddie will chase him. Eddie will catch him, outrun him easily.
It's more than a little fucked up how that thrills him.

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.

Summary
Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.
“Why don’t you take me on a date then?”
“Wh— what?”
“Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”
Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.

Summary
They find him in the boathouse. There’s glass at his throat and a fear thick enough to choke, but Steve doesn’t take it personally. These things happen.
Eddie’s shaking apart and Steve doesn’t know him but he knows the look in his eye.
They leave him with promises and a hope that he’s not crazy. Still, they leave him.
There’s a story Steve remembers about looking back, a punishment in salt. He’s got his key in the ignition and there’s something brackish in his mouth when he turns to see the shadow in the window.
“We can’t…he’s alone,” he says and no one answers because they know he’s right but they don’t know what comes next.
It’s Dustin who finally breaks the silence, a quiet, “where can he go where no one would look?”
Eddie hides at Steve's house. There are consequences.

Summary
Steve Harrington didn't hate Eddie Munson; that was a common misconception. One that Steve had never tried to rectify, really, but still, Steve Harrington didn't hate Eddie Munson, and he was fairly sure that Eddie Munson didn't hate him back. So why was it that everytime the other boy gave him that infamous grin, there was a sinister feeling in the pit of his stomach?
Okay, maybe sinister wasn't the best way to put it. Just the feeling of something being off, like there was some piece to the guy he was missing, some clue he hadn't quite slotted into place.
It had been around four months since they'd defeated Vecna, and Steve had put that behind him, he swore. But when he thought about what Jason had said, about the devil possessing Eddie, Steve wasn't so sure he was wrong. Not because he plays Dungeons and Dragons, or wears a leather jacket, or any of that nerdy crap. Just because when their eyes meet, there's that undeniable feeling.
Steve had learned to trust his gut, when things got weird, and his gut told him that the devil lives within Eddie Munson.But again, Steve didn't hate the guy. It was just...

Summary
By anyone’s estimation, Steve shouldn’t have an opinion about Eddie one way or another, apart from the wild hair and crazed laughter which sometimes came from his lunch table in the cafeteria.
But that’s only because nobody really thought all that much about anything that happened before middle school. Before Steve hit puberty, started playing sports, and most importantly, before he started hanging around with Tommy, Carol and the rest of the popular kids.
Because Eddie Munson? He was Steve’s first ever friend — his best friend, really, for close to six years.

Summary
Steve pulls up to just outside the garage door, then cuts the engine.
He turns in his seat.
“Eddie.”
He startles, a visibly painful jerk, and his eyes snap to Steve. Steve meets them steadily, trying to project calm. Eddie’s gaze do linger on him for a moment, before he looks around. The house towers above them, dark and empty. Eddie frowns, plainly confused, then glances to Steve and-
Realization dawns, then it’s quickly followed by anger and… hurt? The first quickly eclipses the latter, and Eddie flings open the car door.
“See you around, I guess, Harrington,” he spits, beginning to limp away.
Steve is so startled that it takes him a moment to get his bearings.
“Hey!” he calls, scrambling out of the car. “Hey! Where are you going?! You can barely even walk!”
“Home,” Eddie snaps. “And I’m walking because apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t deserve a fucking ride.”
“Oh, for the love of-,” Steve mutters, then runs the couple of hobbled steps that Eddie has managed to put between them, grabbing his arm to spin him around.
“Your home is half portal, idiot,” Steve says. “You’re staying with me.”- Language:

Summary
Robin Buckley is a lesbian.
And Eddie Munson is gay.And they’re dating.
Well, at least to the outside world.
And to a very, (very) confused Steve.“I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until
“Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too.
“I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..”
“For you?”
“I know, right, can you believe it?
“You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.”
And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t.
Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.- Language:

Summary
“Still not graduated, Harrington?”
It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
“I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.Series

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

Summary
“Yes,” says Robin seriously. “Your love life is a 90s rom-com train wreck because You’ve Got Mail is my girlfriend’s favorite movie, and I’m God.”
“I knew it,” says Steve.
Steve’s falling in love with an anonymous astrology account, which would be the worst of his problems, if it weren’t for his girlfriend, who’s probably (definitely) cheating on him; his useless best friend, who is Not Helping; and Billy Hargrove, who hasn’t done anything wrong, specifically, but whose stupid hair and stupid face make everything gross and terrible all the time.
