"It's not a date!" Jim insisted.

Summary
“Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-”
“I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him.
Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.”
“Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously.
Or: Road trip!

Summary
After Flint had told him about Thomas Hamilton, Silver tried to forget about the matter entirely or, instead, regard it practically: Captain James Flint once had a torrid affair with another man. It was simple, or it should’ve been, but weeks had passed since the revelation and Silver was still thinking of it, an inexplicable discomfort weighing heavy as an anchor on his chest.

Summary
Steve had thought Tommy and Carol coming by was about as bad as it could get for him. The people he used to be friends with seeing him in that ridiculous sailor’s outfit, laughing themselves stupid. Surely that had to be rock bottom, right? Nothing could be worse than that.
He had, of course, been dead wrong.
Tommy and Carol were not the worst of it. Their laughter and bitchy jabs were absolutely nothing compared to the look of utter, absolute glee that Steve could see on the face of Eddie Munson when he walked by Scoops Ahoy on a Wednesday afternoon in July.
___
Or the one where Steve is working at Scoops, and Eddie comes by, loses his shit at the sight of Steve in his uniform, and decides to spend the entire summer mocking him. Except maybe there's something else going on, too.

Summary
"He had intended on a normal drive, really, just cruising at the speed limit to clear his head. But upon passing the last house on the stretch for miles, the long, empty road looks suggestive. Maybe even a little seductive. A bad itch builds from the base of his spine. Swallowing nothing, he presses the gas pedal slowly, eyes continuously flicking down to the speedometer as it climbs exponentially. The drone of the engine changes with it, getting louder, pitch keening, synchronizing with the blood that churns and rushes in and out through his heart, veins, brain.
The needle hovers just over 100mph for approximately one minute and fourteen seconds."
-
Steve's attempts to return to normal aren't cutting it. When a casual drive turns into something more risky, he learns that a little rush of adrenaline can help. He learns that a little too well.
Around the same time, Eddie starts having car troubles.

Summary
Time back in Indianapolis passes normally, and Eddie finds that he kind of doesn’t mind the routine of it all. Maybe even likes it. Sometimes routine is good, he guesses, when it’s not scheduled for you by the administration of Hawkins High. He sleeps in late because he works late shifts at the bar, or he goes out and stays out late at other bars. Slowly he fills up his apartment with stuff, furniture from the side of the road, posters from shows he’s been to ripped off of telephone poles, photos from back home that the kids send sometimes.
Robin sends Eddie postcards from Hawkins, and also from random places from around the US, and Eddie has no idea where she’s gotten them all or why she has them, but it’s a fun time, especially the vintage ones. Occasionally a postcard from Robin is signed by Steve as well, and Eddie can imagine them at Family Video, something dumb on in the background on a slow day, Robin scrawling and sliding it over to Steve to sign off on. His handwriting is neater than hers, perfect, blocky printing at the bottom of her messy paragraph: “Hi from Steve.”

Summary
Steve leans against the side of the boathouse and lets Eddie fumble with the cheap Bic lighter for a minute before he clears his throat and says, “You want a light?”
It's hard to read his tone. There's a bitter, suspicious, self-defensive part of Eddie that wants to lash out, but instead he grips the lighter until the plastic creaks and says, “Sure. If you have one.”
“Yeah.” Steve digs in his pocket and comes up with a nice Zippo. He doesn't hand it to Eddie; instead, he flicks the flame on and holds it out for him to lean down, and there's an intimacy to it that Eddie wasn't quite expecting. Like one of those old Leyendecker paintings. He imagines this tableau sketched out in clean art deco lines: the prom king and the freak. A study in contrasts.

Or: In which Eddie survives the Upside Down, and Steve Harrington turns out to be nothing like he expects.

Summary
He had gone through the whole attracted-also-to-men crisis in the years before, so even though he still hadn’t managed to tell Robin, or even find the courage to say the words to describe himself aloud, the attraction wasn’t a surprise. It had occurred to him when Jonathan had won over Nancy that while he was mostly jealous of Jonathan because he was pretty sure some part of him would always love Nancy, orbiting back to her at any given opportunity, sometimes he was jealous of Nancy, of the way she let Jonathan kiss her, his big hands resting on her face, and actually, in retrospect, the whole hand thing should have become apparent to him way earlier than it had.
All that to say, Steve was well aware he was attracted to Eddie and occasionally dreamt about sucking on Eddie’s fingers, but it didn’t have to mean anything, and moreover, couldn’t. The whole thing with El and the Upside Down derailed his life, but eventually he was going to get his shit back together and back on track, and he couldn’t be doing that and also bringing men home on the weekends.

Summary
The thing was, these popular types, the Royalty of High School Society? They just wanted to be entertained. They wanted something to break though the dull monotony of life at the top of the food chain, and if nothing happened to catch their interest, they made their own fun.
Good thing Eddie was unparalleled at keeping little sheeps entertained.Series

Summary
Steve gets hired on the spot. Because why shouldn’t he, he brought a printed resume and had the foresight to dress nicely. Which, according to his new boss, Keith, is a pleasant change from the usual applicants who show up in ripped jeans and demonic t-shirts. The look on his face and the specificity of his words tells Steve that this really happened.
“That’s crazy,” Steve says with a commiserating sort of chuckle, because his dad raised a schmoozer. “Hope he wore something better to the next interview.”
“Oh, no,” Keith says offhandedly. “I hired him.”

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

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
This is where it should have ended. They would shake it off with some laughs and jokes about how desperate they were. They’d say “No wonder we can’t get anyone! These moves are god awful!” Steve would drive him home and they would see each other again at a movie night or maybe New Year at the Wheeler’s. They’d share the same platonic smiles and banter as they have since spring break.
It didn’t end there.

"He washes his wounds off, sparingly, with water this time. He figures it’s probably time to do so. Maybe he’ll be okay.
He falls asleep in the bathtub with a chair wedged against the bathroom door to keep it from opening.
He dreams he’s hanging on in the back of the RV they stole, and Steve Harrington is yelling at him.
“Hang on!” he’s saying, “Hang on!”"

Eddie Munson is stuck in the Upside Down. Barely alive.
Steve Harrington is trying to sleep and failing at it, miserably.

Summary
“Nice to meet you, Eddie,” said Nick. “It’s rare that I find someone else here who shares my interests.”
“Interests?” He remembered he was wearing his battle vest, Nick’s hand lingering right in the middle of the giant Dio patch. “Oh, you like the heavy stuff too?”
“I really do.”
“Fuck yeah,” Eddie said before he could stop himself. His face got hot. Shit, that sounded way too eager, a totally excessive level of enthusiasm just for meeting another gay metalhead. He had given himself away as a clueless virgin, and Nick was going to stop smiling, walk away, and find someone with the ability to maintain his cool for the length of half a conversation.
But Nick didn’t stop smiling. Instead he said, “I know you just got a drink, but do you want to get out of here?”
Or: After his near-death experience, Eddie decides it's time to get rid of his pesky virginity and heads to a gay bar. It leads to some... realizations... for both him and Steve.
