Summary
Steve’s holding Eddie’s hand—limp, the blood’s not even sticky anymore, his rings are caked, glued to his frigid skin; but Steve can’t help it.
He can’t not hold Eddie’s hand.
“Are you ready to accept the evidence in front of you?”
No. No he’s not because if he accepts it, then it’s true. If he accepts this then—
“You lost, Steven,” and Vecna comes to him as a flickering thing in his vision, half veined and vine-riddled, monstrous, and half a thin blond man: same monster in a different suit.
The shuddering image of him looks like bad reception on a television screen: that’s honestly maybe more terrifying than either on its own but.
Steve thinks he’s kind of beyond terror.
—
In which they lose the final standoff. Everyone’s gone. Vecna has Steve at his mercy. And it’s all Steve’s fault, he wasn’t enough, he failed them all—
But being at Vecna’s mercy means maybe…nothing’s as it seems.
By default.
(Or: Steve gets Vecna'd. All bets are off.)
UPDATE: now with one of the kids having a say for themselves about the prospect of losing Steve.

Summary
“Goddamn,” Eddie kind of shouts, but kind of growls; he’s not entirely in control of the way his voice is shaping words. “You little twits talked about him like a minor god when I first met you, and then here you are, all,” he gestures wildly at the gathered…all of them before he asks maybe the question with the actual point:
“Do you even know whether you love him or you hate him?”
In their defense, after they stop being stunned-silent, they start looking fucking angry. Dustin looks downright appalled.
“What?”
-
Or: Steve Harrington isn’t just the best thing to happen to Eddie Munson. He’s kinda the best fucking thing, period. And the fact that he doesn’t seem to realize it, himself? Is a fucking tragedy.
So, yeah: Eddie sure as hell does make it his single-minded mission to ensure everyone around them makes a point to stop talking shit and let Steve know what he means; how much he is loved.
Because all of Eddie’s own—perfectly valid—biases about his absolute revelation of a boyfriend aside: it’s literally the least these dipshits can do.

Summary
After his breakup with Nancy, Steve Harrington keeps it a secret that he hasn’t made an effort to meet his soulmate. When he accidentally wakes up next to them a few days after his 18th birthday, he’s surprised to find that it’s not only another guy, but somebody else in Hawkins. Between losing all his old friends, learning how not to be an asshole, and balancing his newfound sexuality in a closed-minded town, Steve has his work cut out for him. Eddie Munson doesn’t believe in soulmates, but that doesn’t stop him from waiting in the dreamscape every night for his. Balancing life as an openly queer, drug-dealing super senior in Hawkins, Indiana is no cakewalk, especially with Billy Hargrove on his ass. But maybe, just maybe, there’s something to that whole soulmate thing after all.
