Summary
All in all, Steve is doing just fine. Some days it feels like he’s carved his own red, beating, bloody heart out of his chest but mostly, he knows that life is about the art of losing things and he thinks he’s finally mastered that after all.
Four months was all it took to adjust to life in Maryland, life without a family or home.
At the beginning of the fifth month, Eddie Munson walks in the front door.

Summary
"Yeah, yeah – laugh all you want. I see you’re still making fun of us older people,” Eddie drawls out as he leans his arms on the roof of the car, lowering his head to look at him. The t-shirt underneath his leather jacket is riding up, showing a trail of dark hair disappearing beneath the jeans.
Steve’s not laughing anymore.
“See you, Munson,” Steve says, lifting his gaze a second too late; he knows Eddie has seen his eyes linger. Eddie pats the roof twice in goodbye and slams the door shut, sauntering towards the trailer.
“Was that just me, or...” Vickie whispers.
“Yep,” Robin interjects. “Could cut the tension with a fucking knife.”
Steve squeezes his eyes shut, groaning.
“Don’t start, Robin.”
Or: Steve Harrington moves to Hawkins, trading his parents' empty mansion for a rental and a job at the local repair shop. He's looking for peace and quiet. Instead, he hires Eddie Munson as a mover, steals his rings, and learns that sometimes, finding balance requires embracing a little chaos.

Summary
The weed is buzzing underneath his skin, warmth spreading throughout his whole body. For the first time in a while, Steve feels safe. In the comfort of his friends’ company, in a house that only feels like a home when these people are around to fill it. He’s floating, he thinks.
“It’s funny, really!” He half-shouts. He’s not thinking, so he blurts out, “the only person I haven’t had a crush on in this room is Jonathan!”

Or: Steve never thought that he would come out by accident.

Summary
They had won. The world stayed standing, the gates closed, and something like peace returned to Hawkins. Despite their suffering and losses, the others managed to recover and move on.
Except for one.
All alone in his big empty house on the hill, Steve Harrington struggled to recover from all that happened. If an ex-athlete and star babysitter falls apart in his rich boy house, and no one is around to see it, does he even survive?
There are, after all, many kinds of haunted houses.
Some are built from wood and stone. Some are built from memory.And some have locked doors that are better left alone.

Summary
“Eddie Munson,” Robin adds, as if Steve needs any sort of clarification. “Isn’t that the nerd you had a crush on in high school?”
“No,” Steve lies, voice breaking at the end.
