Summary
Steve glances up, but Munson doesn’t give him much more than a flat glare. He grins with teeth, slouches a little, and his worn leather jacket opens up over a faded tee that Steve can’t quite see the graphic on.
“Buckley,” he says, and then nudges her plate like a heathen. “Got a full moon appetite I see.”
Robin sucks in a breath, eyes narrowed. “Oh wow,” she says. “Shouldn’t you be worrying about your third stint at senior year, Munson?”
Munson’s got an expressive face; he looks very briefly like he’s been slapped, then says, reluctantly, “Yeah, I guess so,” and slinks away.
OR-
The one where Steve and Robin are accidentally werewolves because of Russians.

Summary
“What day is it?” Derek demanded.
“What?”
“The day! What day is today?!” Derek let Stiles go, but only so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his phone. He tapped at the home screen, and then went so perfectly still that Stiles was pretty sure this guy wasn’t human. No human could stand that still.
When it was clear Derek wasn’t going to move again without some prompting, Stiles said, “It’s Wednesday.”
“That’s impossible,” Derek whispered.
“Not really, it comes around every seven days.”
“This is impossible,” Derek said again, looking around himself, as if he was searching for something.

A Year in the Life of Chip Harrington by courfeyrac, sourpastels
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Tags
Summary
"The first time, Steve can’t identify the sound, but the second time, he knows it’s coming from some sort of animal. He looks up and down the street, but he turns up empty—he’s the only living thing as far as his eye can see. The animal whimpers again, and for some reason, Steve looks down at his feet this time.
And… there it is! It’s a dog—caught in the storm drain and having an understandably miserable time."
Or: In the year 1990, Steve Harrington rescues a dog, has a breakdown in the grocery store, reunites with some old friends, and falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Nearly a decade on from the events of 1986, strung out at the end of his rope and grappling with the pitfalls of fame, Eddie Munson hits rock bottom, and looks death in the face for a second time.
Forced to reckon with his past and all of the feelings and fears he has pushed aside, or else lose everything, he does the only thing he can, and finally stops running. In a small town in the California mountains, and surrounded by the same familiar faces he's been missing for a decade, he begins a new journey to gain forgiveness and pick up the pieces as, for the first time, maybe ever, he places his trust in hope.
Or: A burnt out rock star gets sober, connects with nature, and rebuilds his relationships with the people he never stopped loving... with some minor setbacks along the way.

Summary
They find him in the boathouse. There’s glass at his throat and a fear thick enough to choke, but Steve doesn’t take it personally. These things happen.
Eddie’s shaking apart and Steve doesn’t know him but he knows the look in his eye.
They leave him with promises and a hope that he’s not crazy. Still, they leave him.
There’s a story Steve remembers about looking back, a punishment in salt. He’s got his key in the ignition and there’s something brackish in his mouth when he turns to see the shadow in the window.
“We can’t…he’s alone,” he says and no one answers because they know he’s right but they don’t know what comes next.
It’s Dustin who finally breaks the silence, a quiet, “where can he go where no one would look?”
Eddie hides at Steve's house. There are consequences.

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

Summary
Eddie sits there, stunned, cigarette dangling between his fingertips burned down to the filter. He swallows thickly, chest filling with those tangled emotions again that he still doesn’t want to acknowledge, but finds himself coming closer and closer to doing so anyway.
“Steve…” Eddie says roughly. “Thank you. You’re my friend too.”
Steve’s lips twitch, the first sign of a smile on his face since that morning. Eddie finds his own lips tilting up at the edges to match it.
“Good.” Steve says, settling back into his chair. “I’m glad we got that cleared up.”
--
After surviving Vecna, Eddie must now navigate his way through recovery, friendships both new and old, graduation and his budding feelings for Steve Harrington.

Summary
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t my terrible mailman,” the man jests, letting his weight fall against the half-opened door. “To what do I owe the displeasure?”
“It seems like some of your mail has slipped through the cracks at the post office,” Steve says with an air of causality he hopes pays off. “M’just here to deliver it and apologize for the inconvenience.”
“Right, ‘cause the post office “lost” it. Not my mailman who hates my house.”
“I don’t hate your house,” Steve objects.
“That’s two lies in under a minute. I don’t think your boss will be too happy to learn that you’re lying to your customers."
Or:
The year is 1991, and Steve Harrington is working as a mail carrier who is pettily withholding mail from Eddie. When Eddie threatens Steve’s job, he is forced into making amends by hand-delivering the missing mail. In a surprising twist, Steve and Eddie end up hitting it off, and the two start spending an alarming amount of Steve’s lunch breaks getting to know each other.
The more time they spend together, the less time Steve spends delivering mail, which might just end up costing him his job and his newfound relationship with Eddie.
