    Summary

    The song washes over him, and Steve blinks back tears.

    He drives back through quiet streets, sees ghosts everywhere he looks.

    Robin waving from the doorway of Family Video. Dustin flipping the bird outside the school gates. Nancy smiling shyly under the Hawk sign. The party piling out of his old beemer into Palace Arcade, Steve’s yelled warning at them to be back out at nine pm sharp if they wanted a ride home echoing through near-empty streets.

    He turns away. Focuses on the road ahead, the road to home, to Forest Hills.

    *****

    Some nights, Steve can't fight the urge to drive laps of Hawkins and make sure there's no Upside Down stirrings, has to check. Some nights, he misses his old friends like crazy.

    Summary

    And Steve wanted to help Eddie, too.

    Munson. Not Eddie.

    “What’d you do to your hand?” Munson was frowning down at Steve’s bruised and split knuckles.

    Steve flexed his fingers, tucked his hand away. “What’d you do your face?” he asked pointedly, glancing at Eddie’s – fuck, Munson’s – slightly-black eye.

    Munson remained tight-lipped, and Steve called it a draw.

    *****

    Steve is working with the Wild Horse Inmate Rehabilitation Program. He's good at his job, exceptional with the horses, and makes sure to keep a healthy detachment from the inmates he works with...

    ...until Eddie Munson.

    Summary

    Eddie is a counselor at Camp Mirkwood: a homey, quaint, little sleepaway camp where the middle class dumps their children so they can get a summer to themselves. Steve Harrington works at Camp Loch Nora across the lake, a camp for country club progeny to experience nature in a removed, sanitized way and occasionally, to interact with the riffraff of Mirkwood to—build character or something.

    Eddie hates Steve Harrington and the feeling is mutual. They also have sex in the woods sometimes.

    Summary

    If Eddie wasn't a cook at his job, and if Steve hadn't made a solemn and sacred vow over tequila shots, Steve wouldn't think twice about sleeping with him.

    But Eddie was and Steve had.

    So now all he could do was flirt shamelessly and hope for treats.

    Summary

    Steve is in comfy clothes, flannel pajama pants and a sweatshirt. He smells good. Kinda different, sweetness with a slight tang, candied oranges or ripe mango. And he’s staring at the 3 Musketeers bar in his hand like it’ll solve all of his problems. Maybe it will. Up until about three seconds ago, Eddie was under the impression that Harrington didn’t have very many problems.

    In his other hand, though, is what appears to be a pregnancy test. So what the fuck does Eddie know?
