Summary
Season five fix-it where instead of exotic matter, they find Eddie Munson locked in a Mindflayer cocoon and hooked up to the hivemind on the roof of Hawkins lab.
Hoping that they can bring Eddie back to consciousness and get information on the whereabouts of Vecna, Steve volunteers to enter Eddie's mind, trying to make up for the guilt that's been eating at him ever since he left Eddie's body behind in the Upside Down.
Eddie's mind, of course, is a treacherous place full of riddles and fantasy-inspired worlds that Steve is hardly equipped to navigate. Especially when Eddie, assuming that Steve is a figment of his own imagination, starts flirting with him like there's no tomorrow.
OR: Steve falls in love by seeing ALL of Eddie Munson.

Summary
*WIP*
They were happy, so fucking happy and so in love.
Until the day Eddie woke up and remembered nothing of Steve. His Steve. The Steve that held his hand and cried his eyes out waiting for the moment that Eddie would wake up. His Steve that made him laugh and sing, made him feel like the luckiest, most loved man alive. His Steve that he spent evenings and weekends with, cuddled into god awful plaid sheets with whispers of the words 'I love you' falling from their lips.
Until the day Eddie woke up from his coma and had no idea why Steve "The King" "The Hair" Harrington was there with him and why the absolute fuck he kissed him and called him Eds on his return to the land of the living.

Summary
Steve can’t stop thinking about Eddie. Or talking about him. Or looking at him. Robin helps, but Steve is a disaster.
~Eddie slides across the seat, pressing against Steve’s shoulder, “Getting a little twitchy there, Harrington,” he whispers, soft curls brushing lightly against Steve’s neck, “This getting you all hot and bothered?”
Steve should push him away, tell him to fuck off, do something that normal guy friends would do. Instead he finds himself caught in that mesmerizing dark gaze, paralyzed. Eddie blinks, teasing smile fading slightly and Steve’s gaze drifts to the other man’s mouth. Fuck. His lips are a little shiny, like he just had a sip of beer. Steve wants to lick it off of him.~

Summary
It’s the summer of 1987 and Edward Munson was just accused of murder.
Again.
Thank god there's a party of teenagers (some with superpowers), their babysitter, a cool lesbian, the babysitter’s gun wielding ex-girlfriend, her OTHER ex-boyfriend, and his stoned best friend on Eddie's side. What a relief.
There’s murders, mystery, mayhem — it is the late 80s, after all.

The vase shatters and with it, so does every preconceived notion you have of yourself.
That’s what Steve learns.
He learns how to fall, gracefully even.
And in the end, he learns how to shatter.Or
Steve saves Eddie in the Upside Down and it's hilarious and it broke Steve wide open.

Steve finds his pulse. He carries Eddie out of the Upside Down, he keeps his heart beating until they get to the hospital.
And then the government intervenes, that shady part of the government? With Sullivan? And he and Eddie wind up locked up, together, in a cell. There's one bed, and glass walls, and it turns out that he and Eddie? Might need each other more than either of them thought they might.

Summary
Steve’s smiling so hard he’s got to bite down on his lip to try and hold it back because he knows it’s ridiculous how giddy he feels right now. But, look, Steve’s never been to a concert before. He’s never been to a concert before and now he’s on a date with the guitarist for a band that’s about to perform.
And no, okay, he’s not sure this counts as a concert — he and his friends make up half the patrons, and they’re the only ones that have bothered to get up from their seats, too — but he’s a couple of drinks deep and through these rose-tinted glasses he can’t seem to shake off, Steve thinks this shitty little dive bar could just as well be the Troubadour. He wouldn’t know the difference. Either way, he feels a little like he might hyperventilate. Robin must notice this, because her hand finds the one hanging at his side and curls around it tight.
-
or, it's been two weeks and Steve can't stop thinking about a first date with Eddie, so when Eddie manages to book Corroded Coffin another gig at the Hideout, it seems like perfect timing. But when has anything in Steve's life ever gone according to plan? Never, that's when.Series

Let us Dwell in Fair Ithilien and There Make a Garden by materialism, sparklyslug
Fandom Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Jul 2025
Summary
'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.
Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'

Summary
In the aftermath of Vecna Eddie can't seem to stop himself flirting with Steve. In the space of a single conversation he's told the guy to keep the jacket, compared himself to a fair maiden, and fucking winked apparently! Surely there's still some monsters left so he can fling himself into the upside-down and not have to face how embarassing he's being.
Steve is certain that all the feelings he's been having about Eddie are platonic with a captial P. True, he can't stop looking at the guy, and touching him, and thinking about how pretty he is and how soft his hair looks- But that's all totally normal friend stuff. Totally, completely, normal.
A fic exploring how the aftermath of vol. 2 could have gone had Vecna been defeated a few minutes earlier. Featuring Eddie's disaster flirting, The Jacket, Steve and Robin playing detective about Steve's sexuality, a Bi-awakening, Steve and Eddie co-parenting six children, and everyone else's reactions to the whole mess.

Summary
Eddie Munson never expected Steve Harrington to enter into his life, especially not because of some silly movie. Yet, it happened and the best next step was to find a way to make the best out of an off the wall situation. It's surprisingly better than Eddie expected, to be with someone who paid attention and loved him for all his worth. Except, Steve shows his love in a way that takes some getting used to.
Or - 5 times Steve said "I love you" to Eddie without really saying it, and the 1 time it came so beautifully out of his mouth.

Eddie placed a joint between his lips and patted himself down trying to find a lighter. Steve pulls one out from his pocket. He lights the joint while it is in Eddie's mouth. It was an oddly intimate moment for two guys but Steve would push it down until the day he died.
As Steve took the joint and placed it between his own lips he was very aware of how Eddie's lips were on it. He's shared joints with many people. But this time was different.

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.
