Summary
After everything that happened during Spring Break, life for everyone in Hawkins returned to somewhat normal. Well, aside from Steve's new friendship with one Eddie Munson.
The gang decide they all deserve a break and head to Steve's family beach house for a week, featuring copious amounts of fluff, found family bonding, blurring (or completely ignoring) the line between platonic and romantic, and bullying being considered flirting.

Summary
Steve's situation came to him with startling clarity. Could he hook up with a guy? Who took the...girl role? What if they didn't agree, was it over before it began? He might cry out of sheer disappointment if that happened. What if Eddie asked for something he'd never done? A concern since Steve hadn't done any 'guy stuff'. God, he really was the worst gay ever! Bi, he reminded himself.
There was nothing for it, he'd have to tell Eddie he wasn't getting laid, Steve was a bust and he'd see himself out. All thoughts evaporated as he saw Eddie. It didn't feel so scary. Eddie stood brazenly with scars falling down his neck to his chest and over one arm, and if he could be so vulnerable, so could Steve.
Or...Robin and newly bisexual Steve try to navigate their first foray in to a gay bar and dating. They're hopeless. Eddie takes Steve home and leads him through his first experience. They bond over past injuries and Steve slowly learns to bare his body again, which had been hidden for too long. He's anxious and scared and self conscious, but he's sure of one thing, Eddie. This is a tale of awkward dating, even more awkward first times and the softness that comes with finding your person, two sides of the same coin.

Summary
“Hey newbie. Ever worked in a bar before?” the guy asks with an easy smile. Steve snaps his eyes up to meet his, and shit they’re pretty. The greeting would be charming from anyone else, perhaps even from the guy himself if he’d not overheard the exchange moments before, but Steve’s insides curl at the condescension.
“Yeah. For about five years. Thanks. And my name’s Steve,” he responds, voice clipped. He yanks at the ties of his apron, knotting the bow just a little tighter than is comfortable. He’ll have to adjust it later, but the man’s dark eyes are roaming over him like he’s something edible, and there’s no way Steve’s going to give any indication whatsoever that he’s prey.
“Nice to meet you, Steve. I’m Eddie.”
Steve can’t prevent the way his face scrunches in confusion, because surely not. There’s no way that this is the Eddie. Sure, he’s not exactly hard on the eyes, but from the little Steve’s experienced of him so far, he seems like a major ass. The way Bridget had hyped him up, anyone would think fucking Jon Bon Jovi worked here.
OR
when the upmarket cocktail bar Steve's working at goes out of business, he finds himself in desperate need of a job.

Summary
Divorced Steve was having a hard enough time trying to keep his head held high while Tommy insisted on parading his new younger wife Carol all over town. Tommy never prioritized their daughter Max and that was never more obvious than when he skipped out on a trip he paid for. Yet again, Steve was there to pick up the pieces and chauffeur Max and the rest of The Party to see their favorite band.
Corroded Coffin, while riding the high of their album, found themselves on the main stage of Coachella. Eddie Munson was used to people saying his name with disdain, but now with practically overnight success his name is called with love and adoration. While Eddie was finally able to achieve his dream, he couldn’t help but feel like something was missing.
A simple miscommunication about a trailer leads Eddie to the omega of his dreams when he literally crashes into Steve before they hit the stage. Will their 16 year age gap be too much for their whirlwind romance? Will real life rear its ugly head and ruin everything? Is this forever or will he just fall for the idea of you?

Summary
In the wake of yet another overtly public scandal, the lead guitarist for the folk metal band Corroded Coffin is sent away to his Uncle’s town of Bumfuck Nowhere, Indiana to spend his summer taking care of himself.
Which said lead guitarist certainly doesn’t need. Because Chrissy is overreacting, and Eddie doesn’t need to be treated like a Victorian child with a prescription for ocean breezes, he needs to be in LA with his band, practicing. Writing. Rehearsing.
He’s fine.
But his manager’s will is iron, and Eddie arrives at his uncle’s door feeling much like the homeless teen he was a mere decade ago, tail between his legs as he asks for more than he’s ever been able to give, and taking more than he can ever hope to repay.
With Wayne taking his arrival in stride, Eddie is forced to integrate himself into this new, slower-paced reality. He harvests chicken eggs. Churns mayonnaise. Takes a stab at home repair and weeds Wayne’s garden, all while eyeing the unfairly hot beekeeper next door.
However as the summer progresses, and Eddie falls faster and deeper than he ever imagined, this new reality forces him to grapple with what his fame has given him, and what it has taken away.

Summary
Disgraced music reporter Eddie Munson liked to party a little too hard and took his responsibilities a little too loosely, until his editor decided to reassign him to the one place where he wouldn’t have any fun – the sports beat. That’s how the self-proclaimed freak landed himself a job following around second baseman Steve Harrington and his up and coming team, the Indiana Mindflayers.
Eddie soon learns that, in a world where alphas are king and secrets could cost you everything, where your every move is judged and a bad day on the field doesn’t just hurt you, it hurts your whole team, where a hero and a freak could have more in common than either of them ever imagined, nothing is quite what it seems.

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
Steve’s life is good. He’s managed to keep Dustin safe, coming up on six years of the two of them criss-crossing the Midwest, tracking down the monsters who are still slipping through the cracks between worlds, and ending them. And he’s got PK686766, who he met in an anonymous chatroom and whose emails are now kinda the highlight of his day. And who can maybe give him a little advice on what to do when a guy you thought was dead suddenly returns out of nowhere, and is now apparently set on blowing up your life.
Eddie’s life is fine. He’s alive, for one thing. Has gotten pretty good by now at his new gig, letting Uncle Sam point him like a cannon at extra-dimensional nasties and go “boom.” Sure, things are a little more complicated now that Steve Harrington has decided to be a massive bitch about Eddie’s attempts to stop his and Dustin’s homicidal amateur crusade against the forces of darkness. But he’s got the next message from Capt200Free waiting in his inbox, and a growing feeling that maybe he doesn't want this little anonymous pen pal situation to stay anonymous much longer.

Summary
June 1986
Steve is lonely.He’s always been lonely, honestly. An empty house, absent parents, friends that didn’t really know him. Frankly, he probably doesn’t really know himself, either. It used to be easier to ignore—between sports and parties and searching for the next girl to hang around with.
Then Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit. In the wreckage of the storm, he realized she probably hadn’t been that off base to call his life bullshit.
[Life in Hawkins, Indiana is boring, ordinary, no supernatural entities. Steve still changes.
Luckily, he still makes some new friends, too. Certain people are simply meant to be in the same story.]

Summary
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.
The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.
And yet.
On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.
“Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”
Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.
“Uncle Wayne?”
A story about the families we find and the love that finds us.

Summary
“Don’t need someone to shut me up,” he says, his voice soft and shaky. “Need you to shut me up.”
Steve exhales, his eyes lowering to watch Eddie’s lips move as he speaks, and he feels too warm even though he’s just wearing a t-shirt.
“Tell me,” he says quietly, holding Eddie in place. Eddie lets out a soft sound, a weak sound, and Steve wants to hear it again. Wants to hear what other sounds Eddie makes when he’s not angry. “Tell me, Eddie.”
