Summary
So Steve didn't complain once. He said nothing about the awful canned food or the bad coffee, about Dr. Buckley's singing in the showers or the smell of Sinclair and Munson when they come up from the engine room. He didn't tell the captain how unfair it was to bunk him with Mike Wheeler and Will Byers, two literal boys who were sharing his cabin, and when finally Steve couldn't take anymore of their giggling and whispering to each other all night long like fucking teenagers oh my fucking Stars — he just took a deep breath.
All day long, Steve was practicing breathing exercises, and repeating calming mantras to himself, in hope that his efforts were gonna be at least appreciated.
And yet, nobody was fucking nice to him.
-------
Steve Harrington tries to embrace his new job as a navigator on the ST Kite, a scout-class spaceship. But just before he arrived, a tragedy struck the crew, leaving them in mourning. The chief engineer, Eddie Munson, is especially hard to work with, and is often very loud about how Steve doesn't have what it takes to be a real spacer. The fact that the guy is also hot doesn't help Steve's situation at all.

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?

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
“Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”
Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

Summary
“Hello… my name is Steve Harrington, and I’m looking to return?”
“Sure. Your reasoning?” A bored sounding voice replied, human yet robotic.
“I have a bunch of things I regret. I’m… just not sure if I still want all of this anymore.”
“We only offer exchanges of equal or lesser value.”
He stared at his hand, the one that wasn’t holding the phone— his hand that used to be soft, now full of callouses. “Exchanges?”
“Only for things of equal or lesser value, kid.”
“Oh. I didn’t—”
The voice cut Steve off, sounding somewhat irritated.“Would you like to proceed?”
Steve bit the inside of his cheek. It took him a while before he said anything. “Yeah,” he replied with hesitance. “Okay.”
In October of ‘87, Steve finally decided to call a number he’d been putting off for the past 4 years.

“Steve, I’ve solved your problem.”
“Huh?”
“I’ve found your dreamboat. Your perfect match, your other half- fits your type to a t. Literally right now, you could walk over and proposition this person to bear your six offspring and sail off into the sunset together in a shitty RV.”
Steve blinks at her bemusedly, and then she points out beyond the pool- where Eddie Munson sits in the grass, smiling lazily as El and little Holly Wheeler adorn him in daisy chains, giggling as he bows to each of them, adjusting his flowery crown.
Steve groans, face in his palms.
“Yeah,” he laughs dryly, “if only Eddie was a chick, huh?”

Summary
“Eddie,” Gareth says, solemnly.
Eddie nods.
“I’m telling you now, even though I know it’s pointless, because you never listen to anything I say. Ever.”
Eddie nods again.
“Please. I am begging you. Do not fuck our new roommate.”
“Why the fuck would you say that?” Eddie hisses, cheeks aflame again. “What is wrong with your-”
“That’s all I’m saying,” Gareth interrupts airily, hands up in mock surrender. “No further objections. You’re just a natural disaster, and I’d rather keep the apartment a conflict free zone, so.”---
Eddie and Gareth require two new roommates (must be okay with illegally housed cats, must be chill with late night band practices). Robin and Steve require a place to live, and have little to no other options.
Months down the line, Eddie still finds himself tongue tied and avoidant around his very hot-probably-straight-weirdly-intense new cohabitation buddy, which is all very well and good- until they end up snowed in together during a powercut, and are forced to get a little cozy together <3- Language:

Summary
For years Eddie has been playing D&D with his cousin Dustin and his friends. It’s a crazy home brew campaign of his own design that plays fast and loose with the lore, weaving in heavily embellished events from their real lives. They play themselves, filling out a full cast of NPC’s with the likenesses of friends, family, and strangers.
It’s been a wild ride.
The game is set in Hawkins, but not quite their Hawkins. This manifestation of their hometown is full of dark secrets, including a shady government agency, evil scientists, and another dimension full of dangerous creatures hiding on the other side of reality.
They’ve just wrapped their most recent session before spring break 1986. It was a bittersweet end to an epic part of the story. A blast to play through, but they didn’t beat the bad guy, and the party has been left in ruins. Eddie’s character is dead, one of their favorite NPC’s is in a coma, and the world has literally split apart at the seams.
Honestly, Eddie’s not sure how they come back from this.

Summary
Steve was in no mood for a party. The Christmas cheer had evaded him this year. There was nothing to celebrate.
Robin had moved away last month, he still hated his job at his dad‘s company, despite the promotions, he’d been through one pointless date after another for what seemed like months, and he’d just been dumped.
And then on top of all that, Eddie had gotten himself a boyfriend.

Summary
It's January 1996 and Steve has recently moved to Pennsylvania for a new job as a children's librarian. Urged to do something with his evenings by Robin, he goes to a bar around the corner from his apartment and sees someone who looks an awful like Eddie Munson playing his guitar. Only no one has seen Eddie in almost ten years.
Eddie Munson, whilst on the brink of death, was not so gently urged into the supernatural department of the United States Federal Witness Protection Program. The time he was in the program, he was stripped of everything he had and thought he knew, and was forced to become someone entirely new. He’s still trying to figure out who that person is. It’s been almost ten years, and in that time the only thing he has learned is that he is okay with being alone. He has to be.
Otherwise known as, a story about finding the people you’ve lost, healing rifts (the personal kind, not the supernatural kind) and maybe for once, finally, falling in love.

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
“Which of you morons,” she hisses, “let Eddie log into twitter today?”
Eddie blinks.
“How do you-”
“Because, Eddie- you commented using the band account. You logged in on our official socials.”
Eddie stares at her dumbly. Then-
“Oh fuck.”
“Yes,” she agrees. “Oh fuck.”
“I’ll- delete that, then,” he laughs nervously. “Before-”
“Before someone picks up on it, screenshots it, begins distributing it across the internet at a frankly alarming pace and starts a series of hashtags up in an effort to find the ‘pretty boy’ gardener you were lusting over?”---
Eddie is a burnt-out-overworked-crash-and-burn-rockstar with a crippling twitter addiction. Steve is a chronically-offline-homegrown-indiana-boy-flowershop-owner with a green thumb and a penchant for taking in strays.
So naturally when Eddie first sees him, he's head over heels. And Steve has no clue what his day job is.
He'll tell Steve about his 'real' identity before things go too far- right?- Language:
