Summary
Written for Steddie Smutty September Week 3
Prompts: knees, spit
Steve comes up with a plan to finally bag his man after months—nay—years of he and Eddie circling each other and playing the most frustrating game of cat and mouse imaginable where neither wants to be the first to break.
Naturally, that plan involves a mechanical bull, alcohol, and the overconfidence of an ex-jock.

Summary
Steve’s always been good at taking care of other people. Eddie’s the first one to notice that maybe Steve needs someone to take care of him, too, and that sometimes all it takes is a little praise to make the noise in his head go quiet.

Summary
They’re down three members, because Doug and Ronnie graduated, and Frank’s been noncommittal since managing to drag himself out of bed, so it’s not like Eddie can tell Robin to get lost.
It’s not like he wants to, either, which is a thing, because Robin hates metal, but is apparently some kind of music savant. She moans about callouses and her fingers bleeding, but the fucking voice on her, Christ. It only takes her to mid-September to learn a good chunk of their set list. Jeff looks at her like she’s hung the moon. She keeps trying to convince them to learn “Our Lips Are Sealed.” She refuses to join Hellfire. She’s always late to practice because of marching band, and some time in the beginning of October Steve Harrington drops her off.
Or –
In the fall of 1984, Robin joins Corroded Coffin, and Eddie gets more than he bargained for.
Or –
A season 2 AU with Robin and Eddie.

Summary
Steve has been keeping a big secret: he’s a werewolf from a long line of werewolves. Only problem is, he’s a complete failure at it. He can’t even shift, but it does make him a bit harder to kill, so he thought he’d found his perfect niche keeping the kids and his secret safe after ‘83. With their plan to end Vecna only half successful and Eddie bleeding out, he has no choice but to reveal the truth and try and convince his friends that werewolves are real. That would be enough of a task for anyone, but to his shock, his heritage has an even bigger surprise in store, and of course, there’s Max to worry about too.

Summary
The sun is hot, blisteringly so, and Eddie steps on the edge of the shovel again. Pushing down hard. Digging into the old red dirt that's hidden away under the sod. Twisting, taking another chunk out, before tossing it aside. He'd just gotten the grass looking green instead of brown, at the cost of effort and time, both of which are always in short supply. Now there's gonna be an eyesore of a trench cutting across the yard.
Figures.
Get one step ahead, only to get knocked three steps back. It's all Eddie's ever known.

Summary
He's had it all mapped out since he was twelve years old, before he'd had enough money to get out of the county, let alone the state. But Eddie knows the trip to Memphis is what his soul demands; one day he'll walk where the blues were born, will hang out with the ghosts of rock. Worth the wait.
Except, he's suddenly twenty and richer than he'd ever been before, simply for refusing to die. And Steve Harrington is in front of him expectantly, waiting to be invited along.

Summary
“That’s gonna be you one day,” Steve says.
Eddie blinks. He jerks his head to the side, meeting Steve’s eye.
“What?”
“That’s gonna be you,” Steve repeats. “You’re gonna get out of here. If anyone can, it’s you. In ten years you’re gonna be the one flipping the bird to all of the losers back here.”
(Steve and Eddie talk about music. It spirals out from there.)

Summary
Distantly, he hears the Wolf snarling and grappling with the demogorgan.
And then his blurry eyes pick up a third figure joining the fray.
A familiar figure, armed with a crude spear, jabbing furiously at the demogorgan’s head.
Steve’s head swims and he loses sight of anything after that, the sound of his rapidly-slowing heartbeat thudding in his ears.
“Steve, you with me, big boy?”
*****
In the aftermath of Eddie’s death, of the gates opening, Steve is struggling. His bat bites refuse to heal, he can’t let go of Eddie’s bloodied vest, and his dreams are plagued by visions of Eddie, by the Upside Down, by a creature that stalks him through the night.
Until one night, at the end of his tether, Steve returns to the Upside Down to search for the man he’d left behind.

Summary
After Vecna, Hawkins is supposed to be safe—but Steve Harrington knows someone’s still watching. Tapped phones. Strange faces. A town too quiet. The FBI thinks he’s on the fringe—easy to isolate.
But Steve isn’t alone.
And Hawkins is done staying silent.Bookmarked by Parsnip

Summary
After an altercation with his dad, Steve hides away in the pantry in his kitchen and calls for help on the walkie-talkie. Luckily, Eddie is awake and comes to the rescue, stealing Steve away to stay at the Munsons’ until it’s safe for Steve to go back. Steve hates when either of his parents come home to visit, especially when it’s his dad. It feels ridiculous to say but Steve thinks he’d rather face another Demogorgon.
A Demogorgon will smell blood in the water and kill on sight, but Mr. Harrington has a habit of dragging it out and making sure his prey knows they’re bleeding. The monsters under the bed are nothing compared to the monsters down the hall, Steve’s an expert. He’s known for a long time now how messed up it all is, he knows he needs out, needs help, but it feels impossibly hard. It’s normal for him and he’s dealt with it this long, he just needs to tough it out until he can afford his own place.
It doesn’t occur to Steve that he has a plethora of people willing to fight monsters at his side, whether the monsters are from the Upside Down or his own home. With the help of his monster hunting crew, Steve escapes his parents and learns what love is really supposed to be.

Summary
Here’s the deal.
Vents? Foolishly overlooked.
Epic concert? Rocked, no notes.
Bat-chow? Do no recommend.
Henderson sobbing? Recommend even less.
Being tagged as a corpse? Perfectly fine if that’s what you are; dead weight in an apocalypse simply cannot be justified.
The issue is when you’re tagged as a corpse, and you…aren’t one.
So you’re left behind.
And stuck. He’s stuck here.
And he thinks they must have won, the Party that is, because nothing’s really happening except…things are falling apart, like rotting in slow motion.
Which is a concern. But. Cool, if it means they did in fact make the motherfucker pay.
But that also means nobody has any reason to be strolling back in to fight demons anymore, and come across his not-so-dead ass. Plus also, the place is probably going to keep crumbling—if a master of a realm is axed, the realm doesn’t typically survive. Mordor fell quick once Barad-dûr came down. And he…
He did agree to go into Mordor.
Well, fuck him.

Summary
“Sooooo,” Eddie leads. Steve tilts his head to look up at him. Dark eyes flick to his quickly and then away. “What’s it like? Uh, the dating thing.”
Steve sits up a bit, intrigued. Eddie has stopped playing with his guitar for the moment, instead picking at the edge of his cut-off sweats. Steve wrestles his fuzzy mind back to working by taking a large gulp of water, letting fresh clarity burst into his brain.
For some reason he has a burning urge to really sell the ‘dating thing’ to Eddie.

Summary
Steve didn’t know what he was looking for when they left Hawkins—just that he wanted Eddie in the passenger seat and the past in the rearview mirror. What followed were four months of road trips, river swims, campfires, and a duck they may or may not have accidentally adopted.

Summary
Steve paused. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I love you,” Eddie said, so sincerely it made Steve blink. He leaned in and kissed the tip of Eddie’s nose. Eddie went a little cross-eyed to watch him.
“I love you too,” Steve breathed as Eddie pulled back. He took his hand and they kept walking.
Then: a rustle in the bushes.
Eddie immediately crouched down and crept toward it.
Steve sighed, already knowing.
“Eddie, please don’t try to bring another squirrel home.”
“Shhh.” Eddie hissed, reaching for the skeleton arm still poking out of his back pocket.
“Give me some of your muffin.”
Steve looked at the banana muffin in his hands, pinched off a bite, and handed it over without protest. This wasn’t his first rodeo.
Eddie smushed the muffin chunk onto the plastic fingers and slowly reached the arm into the bushes.
Steve knelt beside him. Eddie shot him a glare and turned back.
“I need to get you in for your rabies shot—”
Eddie clapped a hand over his mouth.
“I will kill you,” he mouthed.

Summary
Eddie never thought that he would end up hanging out with Steve, let alone driving twelve hours across multiple state lines with him. He can't quite figure out why Steve offers to go, but he's pretty sure it's going to kill him.

Summary
Eddie won't stop touching anyone and everyone, except for Steve. He has a plan to change that.
*
“You can touch me.” That was not how Steve intended for it to come out. He opened his mouth and closed it a few times.
Eddie had frozen with his fingers halfway to his mouth. Smoke curled from his cigarette between them. He raised his eyebrows, then frowned, then bit his lip.
“I can-” Eddie said slowly, his face still rolling through several emotions without landing on one- “touch you?”

Summary
“Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper.
“I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”
(Steve knows Eddie’s alive. Wayne’s the only one who believes him. So they team up to save him.)- Language:

Summary
“I must be higher than I thought I was.” Eddie whispered, making Steve bark out a laugh.
“You’re high , Munson?” Steve asked, reaching up to take Eddie’s chin in his hand, bringing him closer under the pretense of looking into his eyes. Now that he really looked, they were edged in red - bloodshot with more than just sleeplessness.
“Always,” Eddie breathed. They were so close now, foreheads practically touching and Steve couldn’t stop smiling, “Are you… flirting with me, Harrington?”
Steve laughed again, quieter now so as not to spook him, “Definitely, yes. Was I not being obvious enough?”
