Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
The first thing to go is the wallpaper.
The walls are the same as they were when Barbara got taken, that same white and blue checkered pattern he’s followed with his eyes for endless hours after every stint in the Upside Down, after Billy Hargrove and the pack of demodogs and the terrifying nightmare of the underground russian base, and Steve can’t stop himself from shivering in his sweat-soaked pyjamas, tossing the covers to the side as he rolls off the bed. He can feel his heartbeat in his throat, and his vision is blurry around the edges, skin stretched tight over whatever the fuck is brewing inside his body.
His gaze snags on the edge of the wallpaper, the little corner that is folding up under the light switch and Steve—he rips it off. Claws at it with the type of blind fury he’s grown intimate with.
This is what he’s good at.
OR: Steve inherits a house that has never felt like a home. He starts fixing what’s broken, finds help in unlikely places, and somewhere between paint cans and late-night talks, he learns what it means to build something that lasts.

Summary
Steve feels like a child on the playground trying to make friends and it’s somehow excruciatingly difficult, but he’s too stubborn to give up. Despite his own embarrassment and the voice in his head whispering he wants nothing to do with you, leave already, Steve keeps pressing. Because he’s stubborn. And prideful. And so lonely that he’d rather talk to someone out here under Hawkins' night sky than stand along the wall inside for another minute.
“What’s your name?” Steve tries, voice light and hopeful.
“Like you care,” the mysterious Myers replies. Unlike Steve’s kind tone, this masked stranger speaks low and monotone, showing clear disinterest.

Summary
Eddie never had an issue with his relationship with Steve being kept a secret; he knew the dangers of the general public of Hawkins discovering good ol' golden boy Steve Harrington was dating Hawkins' resident freak. Besides, the most important person in his life outside of Steve, Wayne, knew and that was more than enough for Eddie. If Eddie was being honest anyways, he didn't know who Steve had to tell. The truth of the matter was that Eddie was completely fine with keeping his love for his Stevie pure and untainted by the hatred of his peers. But, he didn't realize that would mean hearing the love of his life died while drinking coffee and watching the morning news.
Or, six months of love goes up in flames when Steve dies in the Starcourt fire with Chief Hopper.

Summary
Steve begins to have a weird feeling prickling down his neck at random points throughout his day. At school, at work, at the grocery store, at home… He can’t put his finger on it.
It feels like he’s being watched, but no matter how hard he looks into all the corners of the room, there’s no one there. Months go by, and the nagging feeling he’s being watched never goes away.
Someone is stalking him.

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

Summary
Steve is looking at him, awed. He stares at Eddie’s ribs like they have the answers to all his questions etched between them. Like there’s revelation written in between the fading whorls where his wounds knit together over the past year.
He reaches out, soft and slow- the way you approach a wounded dog. Don’t bite me, his hands are saying- I want to show you gentle touch.

one year post-vecna, and eddie's trying really hard to repress his feelings for steve. he'd probably be very successful at that, if it weren't for steve interfering every single step of the way

Summary
The light flips on, and there's a loud shriek that makes Eddie jump and hit his head on a shelf in the freezer.
"What are you doing here?!" Steve Harrington demands, brandishing an ice cream scoop like it's a weapon.
In a sailor suit.
Goofy hat, tall socks. A bow around his neck that Eddie has a brief flash of what it might be like to yank on. Just a little.
Or: Somebody's gotta deliver the ice cream to Scoops Ahoy, and that somebody is Eddie.

Summary
Alternate ending season 3: Steve and Hopper have been captured by the Soviets, and Hopper is getting desperate. How the heck can he get Steve out of there, before their plight gets even worse? And if/when, Hopper fails, how can he possibly protect Steve from the inevitable horrors... let alone pick up the pieces in the aftermath?
Follows on from the first one-shot, continuing their story right through (can be read standalone, if you wish.) Once again, not slash or romance between these two. The focus is on platonic (or quasi father/son) bonding amid epic amounts of whump, angst and hurt/comfort.

Summary
One night in November of 1983, a boy goes missing from Hawkins, Indiana.
He is just a body, a thick cuff locked around his ankle, chained with iron to a bolt on the hardwood floor. He is just a body, locked inside of a bedroom with an empty closet, a bed, a nightstand, and a cage. He doesn’t look at the cage if he can help it. He looks outside. He is just a body, staring out at a backyard he’s never been allowed to enter, where the grass is starting to brown from the heat of the sun. All he can see is dusty grass and tall trees, and a little shed at what must mark the edge of the property.
Only there is a body. Another body. A real human body—only, that can’t be right. Steve hasn’t seen anyone in … he doesn’t know how long it’s been, since the blonde man took him here. The blonde man doesn’t want him to see anyone, to be seen by anyone. All he wants is for Steve to be his, and to turn Steve into a body.
The other body is in the yard, moving on clever legs with slow graceful steps. His head swivels from side to side quickly as if he is looking for something. It makes his long curls sweep across his shoulders.
