Summary
Steve goes into Hellfire Ink for one reason and one reason only: to have his mating bond broken.

It only takes a handful of painful scarification sessions for them to redefine their expectations of love.

Summary
‘Bad beat’ is a subjective term for a poker hand in which a player with what appear to be strong cards nevertheless loses.
It was just supposed to be a stupid dare. Go on a few dates with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson, get him to take ‘King Steve’ to prom, and rig the ballot for prom king so Tommy can prank the loser when he goes to claim the crown. Steve didn’t know he was risking his hidden omega status being exposed to the whole school. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to fall in love along the way.

Summary
Post presentation, Steve has yet to go into heat. The enormous weight of his parents’ expectations, Upside Down flavored night terrors, and the crippling void of loneliness—he’s only just beginning to unravel—don’t help this.
At the behest of Dr. Owens, Steve enlists the help of one Eddie Munson, newly souped up alpha riding high on demo-venom, to help him out.
He just hopes he doesn’t embarrass himself too much when Eddie’s addicting scent finally gets the slick to pour.

Summary
Eddie's chain-smoking cigarettes. Lucky Strikes. In the early September humidity he wears a sleeveless graphic t-shirt and ripped black jeans. He has tattoos all over, long wild hair, and a wicked smile that only widens when he and Steve lock eyes. His grin is sharp, tongue coated in silver, and Steve feels a bit like he’s looking in a mirror.
Eddie looks something like a bad idea.
“Hey,” Steve calls anyway.
He’s grieving. Sue him.

Summary
Omega Steve is a wealthy, American heiress, nouveau riche, dragged to London by his social climbing mother so she can parade him in front of penniless-but-titled alphas.
It doesn’t take long for her to find what she thinks is a good match. But Wayne Munson, Viscount Hawkshill, surprises both Harringtons when he reveals he was not looking for a bride for himself, but for his nephew and heir, Edward.
But Eddie is prickly when his uncle returns home, having received the letter he sent ahead, loudly yelling that he intends to find a mate on his own… And ruining any chance to make a good first impression on the loveliest omega he’s ever seen.

✘ ❦ ✘
Christine Cunningham is found dead on the outskirts of the small village of Hawkins. The only suspect: Eddie Munson, blamed by circumstance and without solid proof of his innocence. His execution is all but assured until a voice rises up from the assembled crowd shouting, “I will marry him.”

Summary
Indeed, the man would sometimes debrief Steve after! A glint in his eye, merry, as he asked if he thought Dr Owens or his five thousand pounds a year was more handsome, and Steve had all but choked upon his reply that Dr Owens was indeed handsome, regardless of his income!
“Hmm,” Sir Hopper had intoned that evening, teeth around his cigarillo as he puffed the heady scent of tobacco into the air. “I myself find the pounds comely rather than my dear friend (who himself would be the first to say it, so do not make such a face, young sir), but to each their own. Either way, he’s much too old for you.”
“I do not find myself concerned overmuch with such things,” Steve had tried to demure, for he had not wished to seem ungrateful for what introductions into the society of Devonshire and its surrounds Sir Hopper did offer.
Sir Hopper had snorted, ungainly in his amusement, and tapped his temple. He’d said, “I shall keep that in mind, then. Still: six and thirty years between you is too much. Five and ten, however, is much more agreeable to my delicate sensibilities. What say you to that?”
Or: an Omegaverse Regency AU inspired by Sense and Sensibility.

Summary
In a society where Omegas are the dominant secondary gender, it's not uncommon for Alphas to compete for their attention, showering them with gifts and trying to prove their worth.
For Eddie Munson, presenting as an Omega has been nothing but a pain in the ass. All the Alphas who used to push him around and call him a freak are now falling all over themselves trying to court him. As if he could forget the years of bullying they put him through.
Is there a single Alpha in all of Hawkins who can crack through his icy exterior and thaw his cold, dead heart? He sure has hell doesn't think so.

Summary
Seeing the words laid out like that so bluntly makes his heart ache. Eddie wishes he could have courted Steve properly, perhaps met him at a barn dance, chatting over cider and sneaking outside for a stolen kiss. To hold his hand and scent at his hair, only to walk him home and ask permission to call on him as is decent.
But here he is proposing marriage in a telegram after receiving exactly one beautifully penned letter. He knows so little about this young omega, and yet his pulse races at the thought of meeting him. It could very well be fear; anxiety over making so hasty a decision, to offer his hand so quickly without exchanging more letters or requesting a photograph, something to build a foundation upon before committing ‘til death do they part.
❧❧❧
Steve Harrington is a former society omega, cast out for an unforgivable indiscretion.
Eddie Munson has just inherited his father’s small farm and become caretaker to his much younger brother.
An advertisement and a letter bring them together, a clear attraction forms when they meet. But will that be enough to build a life upon?

Summary
Now Steve can smile what he’s been told is his sexiest smile. “Does that mean you’ll want to do it again?” He mimes checking his watch, even though his watch is somewhere on Eddie's bedroom floor. “Because not to brag or anything, but I’ve been known to go a few rounds in a night. Give me, like, half an hour, maybe twenty minutes.”
“Well, I’ll be,” says Eddie. He looks adorable and extraordinarily fuckable with a blush staining his cheeks. “Will Harringtonian wonders never cease.”

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.
