Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.
---
Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

Summary
When Steve opens his eyes, Eddie is already looking at him. It’s hard to see in the evening light. Everything is dusk and smoke. All of Eddie has been softened by it. His smile lines, the faint bags under his eyes, his hair. It’s all… quiet.
“Hold out for another year,” Eddie says.
“Hmm?” Steve feels like he’s sliding out of clarity. The world is so smooth now. God, he’s high. He laughs. “What’re you talking about?”
“Don’t go to college. Hold out for one more year, Harrington. Then we’re hitting the goddamn road. Me and you.”
Steve waits for Eddie to laugh, to take it back. “You’re serious.”
“Deadly. So?” Eddie offers him the joint.

Summary
Steve is pulled away from his big city marketing job when a lucrative offer comes in on his old family home, only Hawkins is nothing like he remembers. In his ten year absence, the small town has transformed into a holiday wonderland.
The longer he stays in Hawkins, the more he gets reacquainted with old friends (including Eddie Munson, the summer fling he abandoned all those years ago) and makes some new ones. He also finds himself getting invested in the town's Christmas-y future and starts rethinking his plan to sell the house to a big Chicago development firm.
And as his old feelings for Eddie return, he wonders if his real mistake was running away in the first place.

How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8

Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Summary
"And next up we have a new track from a solo artist who is quite up and coming. Hailing from Indiana, this guy blasted onto the Greenwich folk scene a year ago with his debut EP, Hurt Somebody, and has been hard at work promoting his first album set to release early next month. This is Steve Harrington with 'Eddie's Song.'" The gentle voice from the DJ did nothing to soften the blow of that last sentence. Eddie could feel his uncle's eyes on him the moment the first chord struck. He could feel his stomach drop to his ankles when he finally heard Steve's voice for the first time in eight years. "
or
What happens if Eddie ran away from Hawkins when things got too difficult in the aftermath, but then years later Steve Harrington somehow still manages to crash back into his life?
Inspired by Carlo's Song by Noah Kahan
Fic is nearly complete, and I'll try to update weekly.

Summary
When the monster inside threatens to take over Loki, who better to offer comfort than someone else looking to escape a monster of his own?
~~~
He looks up at James, dizzy and hopeful and terrified.
James’s voice is a rustle of the World Ash leaves. “C’mere.”
Sweet merciful Norns, and the wise waters of Mimir’s well, and everyone who is in charge of anything in all the realms, Loki prays in the stretch of the second that he spends suspended between what he knows and what he wants, when you judge him, remember: he did everything he could.

Bucky had told himself he didn’t care.
Because he didn’t.
It didn’t matter who Zemo brought into the safe house, or his life, or his bed. It wasn’t Bucky’s business.
Wasn’t his place to care.

“Hey, Zemo”, Bucky says suddenly.

Summary
It starts like this: Steve, waiting in his car to pick up Dustin and friends from a session of their Chutes and Ladders club or whatever. Waiting kind of impatiently, to be honest, even though it’s not like he has anywhere else to be because Robin’s busy tonight and, as he well knows by this point, saving the world doesn’t get you a girlfriend or glory or even a second age-appropriate friend, it just gets you another evening shift at Family Video and a long personal to-do list.
In the spring and summer of 1986, Steve Harrington contends with the biases of the day, hatches several plans, and finally really gets to know Eddie Munson.

Summary
It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does.
“Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”
