Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
Peter Parker, like any 14 year old superhero mutant, really wants to catch a break. And yet somehow, he never gets one. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special, so what gives?
Well, that's only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. Or his extensive track record of running away from his guardians and that he was homeless for a bit. Or the amount of people in his life that have died because he's some kind of bad luck charm. Or that his foster-dad is Tony Stark now.
Or the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school, and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of strange vigilantes that keep stalking him.
He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool. Though something about them- especially Nightwing- is familiar, that's not important. He has enough on his plate right now, considering there are multiple people trying to upend the fabric of time and space. He can figure out the other details later.

Summary
Perhaps the old gods didn't die. Perhaps they still live amongst us, hiding in the form of people. Perhaps that person you saw admiring paintings in the museum is one of them. Perhaps you are one of them. You can't be sure about that, but you do know that sometimes when the light hits at a certain angle, the statues look like they are mirrors.

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
Eddie had started walking to Robin’s house in the mornings to hitch a ride when Steve took her to school on his way to Family Video. It was a neat little route from Steve’s place to Robin’s to the high school to the store, and Robin lived halfway between Eddie’s place and the school, so the ride cut his journey in half. Steve wanted to offer to pick Eddie up from his place but, unlike the rest of the carpool arrangement, it didn’t make sense, spatially, and Eddie said he didn’t mind the walk, and Steve was too embarrassed to insist.

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
A photo of Eddie Munson, unconscious in Steve Harrington's arms, covers the front of every Indiana newspaper on the morning of Friday, March 28th.
It's enough to drag Steve's parents back to Hawkins. Permanently.
With summer arriving, Steve chafes beneath the strict rules his parents set. Curfew is 10pm, not a second later. Rent is one-hundred dollars and must be paid on the first of each month, no exceptions. Absolutely no alcohol or drugs. And, most importantly, stay the hell away from Eddie Munson.
Somehow, the last one is the hardest to follow.

“Alright, listen. You want to romance Max? It’s easier said than done.” When Lucas’s face falls, Steve is quick to tack on, “But it is doable. There are steps. Six of them.” He spreads his hands theatrically, bending a little at the waist as if setting the scene.

Summary
Outside, Eddie is standing on his front step, his hair tied loosely back in a knot, clad in nothing but a pair of jeans and a faded t-shirt. And balanced in his hands is…Steve guesses it’s supposed to be a pie. The crust is all fucked up, looks a little like the puckered expanse of Eddie’s hip.
It’s the most beautiful pie Steve’s ever seen.

"You promised! You promised Steve you wouldn’t do anything stupid and then you did the stupidest fucking thing you could possibly do!” Dustin’s voice cracks. He wipes the tears away from his cheeks with his palms.
“Dustin, don’t you think you should…” Steve starts.
“Don’t rescue me, Harrington,” Eddie interrupts. “I’ll take my admonishment.”

Summary
“You’re such an asshole,” Steve says, punctuating the words by grabbing one of Eddie’s ankles and starting to tickle him. He’d done it without even thinking about it, which maybe that was weird, but Eddie’s laughing now and squirming, trying to kick his feet out of Steve’s firm grip.
“Fuck you, man! That’s cheating!”
“Yeah, well, I’m gonna have to pick popcorn out of my hair for the rest of the night, so deal with i—”
The last word isn’t even out of his mouth before Eddie reaches over and upturns the entire rest of the bowl onto his head.
“You. Little. Shit.”

"Okay," Eddie says at last, voice betraying his cool demeanor. "I'll go first." He clears his throat, folds his hands politely in his lap. "I have never been more confused in my life than when I'm with you. And I've taken trig three times and I'm still not a hundred percent on what a hypotenuse is, so, like, it's not difficult to confuse me or anything. But you really take the cake, man."
Steve chews on his lip. "Sorry? I'm... confused too."

And Who Are We At The End Of It All? by Caseys_Crying

Summary
They did everything just like they planned. It should've been over, and yet it wasn't. They didn't win this time.
They've all got battle scars and it's not so easy this time around to figure out how to keep living with them, especially while they wait for Vecna to rear his ugly head around again.
They'll all need each other if they want to figure themselves out and find exactly what it is they're looking for.
Because maybe Steve wasn't really looking for Nancy, maybe Nancy needs a chance to find more from love than what she's looked for before, maybe Robin can't get what she needs from Vickie, and maybe Eddie joining this 'Apocalypse Party' means something...?But, hey, they got out of one more end of the world, they've got some time to work on it. As long as these damn kids behave a little.
