Summary
He lifts the shaker, snapping his wrist so the ice rattles sharp and loud over his shoulder. The cold metal bites into his palm. "So, what's your name, newbie?"
"Steve." Eddie strains the cocktail into a waiting glass, the liquid settling smooth and pale. He slides it across the bar. Steve watches it like it might detonate, fingers hovering before he finally wraps them around the glass. "Yours?"
"Eddie." He taps the bar once, twice, then leans forward against it, the edge pressing into his hips.
"And just so you know, Steve, if you're gonna order drinks with names like that, you gotta own it. Look 'em dead in the eye. Show no fear. We prey on weakness round here." He smiles, slow and crooked, enjoying the way Steve's shoulders tense and relax all at once.OR: I got sad that Eddie never got to see Steve in his S5 epilogue outfit and his stupid corduroy jacket so I made them fuck about it

It would take something reckless for the eyes to notice. Like if he just…
Steve’s staring down the gaping maw. Wide open. Hungry.
If he just—
“Harrington,” a burly voice simmers behind him, “it’s cold out. Where’s your jacket?”

Summary
“Shane.” Ilya takes Shane’s head in his hands, squeezes his cheeks so that Shane looks puffy, absurd. Beloved. “I am saying that to me, even though you are retired, you will always be No. 1 hockey player. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.”
That’s what does it, as Ilya knew it would. Shane rears back, spluttering, outraged, trying not to laugh.
“Oh, I have committed blasphemy now. They will take back my citizenship, big crime, very sad.”
Shane smoothes his hands along Ilya’s calves, rests his fingertips on Ilya’s ankles. “Fuck Wayne Gretzky,” he says. He looks like he can’t believe what he’s saying. Ilya wonders, distantly, if he can get it on tape to play back to himself when things feel particularly bleak. “We can live in exile together. I don’t care. You’re my, my best, my second best hockey player forever too.”
--
Shane decides he has to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.

The man looked up, his face lighting up for a moment before a smirk spread across his lips. “You’re the chef?” He waved a general hand towards his neighbors. “You look better than the food I’ve seen on these tables.”
Wilson blinked, then nodded. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“Don’t. I’ve seen some tragic food tonight.”or, Wilson is chef and co-owner of a highly acclaimed restaurant and House is a dreaded food critic

Summary
"Okay, here's what's going to happen, if it's okay with you. You're going to sit still for me like a good boy, I'm going to finish your tattoo and make sure it's wrapped up nicely for healing, and then I'm going to give you exactly what you need."
Steve feels like he stares, mouth dropped open softly, cheeks burning, for too long before he can make himself reply. And even then, it feels like garbled nonsense.
"You mean…"
"You know exactly what I mean." There's something about the way that Eddie's looking at him now that makes him feel like prey.
(or, Steve experiences subspace for the first time while being tattooed by Eddie.)

“I dare you not to know who I am. One night before it all kicks off. Like we just met, as strangers.”
“Just me and you,” Rozanov mused, before he grinned and put out the cigarette. “You want I treat you like any other pretty boy I meet at party?”
“I’m not pretty,” Shane objected. “But—” it sounded dangerous— “yes.”
Tomorrow, the rivalry between Hollander and Rozanov begins. Tonight, they’re just Shane and Ilya.
An alternate meeting AU in which Ilya doesn’t join the NHL until Shane’s second year.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
Mid fifties, House guessed. No helmet. Short-cropped hair, silvering at the edges, the recession at his temples carving a deep widow’s peak that somehow worked in his favor. A gray beard speckled with white framed his mouth. Aviator sunglasses hid his eyes, but not the confidence in his posture.
House watched him through the smoke, unhurried, evaluative. The man pulled off his gloves, tucking them into his jacket pocket.
“Nice ride!” House called from the bench. “Your bike, too.”or, House and Wilson meet someone new at a medical convention

“Why does it feel like you’re reading my mind?” Steve asked, laughing somewhat awkwardly as Eddie didn’t even flinch. He tilted his head to the side and simply watched Steve. Like a hawk.

Summary
Eddie wears it like a brand.
Steve’s warmth. He touched me, Eddie thinks. He touched me.
It wasn’t cold.
Somebody touched him and it didn’t feel cold. Didn’t hurt.
Fat lot of good it does, other than add yet another memory to- yearn? pine? despair?- over, but still. It’s something. It’s everything, maybe.

eddie comes out of the upside down with a missing nipple, an inability to warm up, and a beginning-to-get-concerning increase in his adverse reaction to touch. worse, still- steve harrington's magic hands appear to be his own personal cure-all.

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:

“Sorry if you got a lot of shit about it. At school. From- you know.”
Eddie stares at him. “From… your basketball lackeys?”
“Sure. Yeah.”
Is this… is Harrington winding him up?
“Are you winding me up?”
“What? No. No!”
“Pardon my hesitance,” Eddie says, narrowing his eyes, “this is just- kind of unexpected. And by that, I mean- a bit of a mind fuck.”
Steve clears his throat, looks down at his shoes.
Eddie kind of dances from side to side, ducks down to recapture Steve's gaze. “And by that- I mean- cereal shopping with Steve ‘the hair’ Harrington while he apologises on behalf of high school jocks everywhere.”

Summary
Right where he’d left it all, Eddie makes it to the living room and sees his little metal lunchbox open on the coffee table. Rolling papers, his heavy silver grinder, several baggies and a small scale spill out the top as Steve plops down onto the black pleather futon.
“You named your dildo?” Eddie can’t believe the question, even as it falls out of his mouth.
Steve snorts, his nose crinkling as he shakes his head. “I do name some of my uh… things, yeah, but that one wasn’t me. Blame the internet.”
Some of my things.
Things.
Plural.
Eddie feels like he might pass out.

Summary
There's a new restaurant across from Eddie's game store - and that is just his newest problem.
Hot cuisine or whatever it's called isn't something he thought he needed in his life. He's more of a greasy cheeseburgers, cigarettes and dry cereal kinda guy. All things considered, the hip new place with its fancy food and its thriving social media account should stand for everything he hates.
Except the owner is making it really hard - pun intended.
Because Steve isn't a superficial, capitalist asshole. He's a nice guy with beautiful hair and great hands and a quirky sense of humor and great hands and a fantastic ass, and did Eddie mention the hands? For some reason, he can't stop staring at them, which is very unfortunate - especially since Steve seems to have made it his mission to introduce him to a more varied diet, and Eddie is developing some extremely inappropriate feelings related to food and cooking here.
Between burst pipes, DnD campaigns, annoying influencers, and the shiny new mall project that is threatening their neighborhood, it's all a lot to deal with, but he guesses he'll just have to suck it up - pun, again, very much intended.

Summary
“You can turn around, Steve.”
“No, it’s fine. I won’t look, I’ll just go,” Steve offers, still facing the door and so apologetic, “I’ll keep my eyes closed and we’ll forget this ever happened.”
Eddie sighs, sounding defeated. “You have to open your eyes, man. You can’t get me out of these without looking.”
Steve’s curiosity makes him turn faster than he can even think.
“Get you out of what— oh.”
Handcuffs.
Eddie’s not just standing naked at the kitchen bar, he’s handcuffed to it.
Or, Steve interrupts Eddie’s hookup and comforts him through a subdrop after. That's how it starts.

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
Eddie swipes the wand beneath his eye, fast and mostly smooth. He leans back from the mirror, assessing his reflection, and smudges lightly at the ink.
“One down,” he says, mostly to himself. Steve doesn’t say anything.
He’s thinking about girls at their bathroom mirrors and bedroom vanities. Dates or one night stands or whoever else, messing with their hair and poking at their lipstick and making faces. Fixing whatever Steve had made a mess of the night before.
