Summary
The soulmate marks hurt, is the thing.
People without marks cling to that: “it hurts, it always hurts, I’m lucky to be free from the pain, actually,” they say. “I don’t want a mark.” No one believes them, of course. But everyone nods: it does hurt. The rest they’ll allow out of courtesy.
-
Jack lost his mark years ago. He doesn't expect a second one.

Summary
“What am I supposed to do for 10 days?” She looks genuinely dumbfounded.
“I don’t know, read a book, get on a plane, go to Alaska. Whatever you want, as long as it happens at least 500 yards away from this hospital. I mean it, Samira.”
She presses her lips together into a thin line. He shakes his head in disbelief.
“You’re worse than Abbot, you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“He threw a temper tantrum about the sabbatical—”
“You’re sending him on vacation, too?”
––––––––
or, Samira (begrudgingly) takes 10 days off. Jack's there, too.

Summary
As she’s working with the next few patients (broken leg, UTI, baby with a fever), no one else says anything, though she does get a kind little smile from Jesse that says that he heard what happened but he doesn’t care. Too bad he’s gay. He’s kind and can actually hold a conversation, and that salt and pepper hair is —
“Dr. Mohan,” Abbot calls from somewhere behind her as she’s finishing up her last chart before she hands off to the night shift. “Come see me before you clock out.”

Summary
When Jack turns to look at her, Samira realizes she doesn’t want to leave. It hits her all at once, and once it’s there, there’s no getting away from it.
“You hungry?”
Samira’s not, not even a little bit. She hasn’t eaten in… she doesn’t know how long at this point, but she can’t even begin to think of food right now.
Still, she nods her head. “I could eat,” she says, because she doesn’t want to leave.
OR: post-pittfest, and everything that entails. mostly learning how to cope, a lot of feelings, and even more kissing (eventually).

Summary
A full smile blooms on Abbot’s face. “Dr Mohan, you have your own go-bag?!” He looks absolutely delighted as she rolls her eyes and reaches down to her backpack, fighting her own smile.
“You don’t get the goods if you make fun of me, Dr Abbot.”
His right hand moves from his leg to rest over his heart. His eyes dance at her as his features slip into a farcical mask of shock.
“Hey hey, woah woah, this is awe I’m giving you, baby!”
--
Jack and Samira become friends. It's totally fine.

Summary
They’re down three members, because Doug and Ronnie graduated, and Frank’s been noncommittal since managing to drag himself out of bed, so it’s not like Eddie can tell Robin to get lost.
It’s not like he wants to, either, which is a thing, because Robin hates metal, but is apparently some kind of music savant. She moans about callouses and her fingers bleeding, but the fucking voice on her, Christ. It only takes her to mid-September to learn a good chunk of their set list. Jeff looks at her like she’s hung the moon. She keeps trying to convince them to learn “Our Lips Are Sealed.” She refuses to join Hellfire. She’s always late to practice because of marching band, and some time in the beginning of October Steve Harrington drops her off.
Or –
In the fall of 1984, Robin joins Corroded Coffin, and Eddie gets more than he bargained for.
Or –
A season 2 AU with Robin and Eddie.

Robin gives Steve a long, considering look. Finally, she says, “You know, you’re really fucking weird, right? I mean. Like,” she waves a hand, “I wish I knew this when you were in school, Harrington. You’re just really fucking weird.”
“Thanks?”
Robin squeezes his shoulder and says, “I appreciate that you think that’s a compliment.”

Summary
“Good morning, Mr. Munson, is Eddie home? Um, that’s a stupid question, of course he’s home.” Steve chuckles nervously. Steve. That’s Steve at Eddie’s door. “Is he awake?”
“He’s awake, son, but I gotta warn you, he’s in a pissy mood today,” Wayne’s gruff voice replies.
“Wayne!” Eddie protests loudly.
“Just telling it like it is,” Wayne throws over his shoulder. “You still wanna come in?” He asks Steve.
“If that's okay, Mr. Munson.”
God, he’s so polite. Eddie hates that he finds it endearing.
“Please call me Wayne, son.”
Eddie doesn’t even get a chance to try and make himself look somewhat decent. Right away, there’s the sound of the door closing and then Wayne walks back into the living space with Steve in tow, looking perfectly put together in his neat polo shirt and blue jeans.
Eddie is still in his fucking pajamas, for fuck’s sake.

Worst Cooks in America celebrity edition by steddiecameraroll

Summary
Eddie doesn’t know why he agreed to this. Scratch that, he does know why, and it’s even worse than not knowing. His publicist insisted it would be “good for his image,” and the record label had jumped on that idea. And that’s how Eddie Munson, lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin, occasional D-list metal god, ended up here: rocking nervously on his heels under the unrelenting fluorescent lights of the Worst Cooks in America television set.
He shifts his weight, forcing a polite smile at people he vaguely recognizes but doesn’t actually know. It’s all fine, uncomfortable, but fine, until his eyes land on him.
Steve Harrington. Not a D-list celebrity but world-famous actor Steve fucking Harrington.

Summary
Eddie snatches up the paper and glances it over. Name, residence – he lives with Buckley? Why would she do that to herself? – previous work, strengths, weaknesses – people pleaser, yeah right – accommodations, blah blah blah.
When he looks up again, Sisyphus, purring loudly, has his full, not-inconsiderable weight pushed into Harrington’s chest, who’s got both his hands petting down his back, fucking cooing.
“Holy shit, I cannot do this,” Eddie says, and then shoves the application back toward Harrington and says, “No.”

Summary
Eddie is used to getting recognized in public, but it doesn’t mean he likes it.
That is, until the most beautiful man he’s ever seen in his life sits in the seat next to him, unfurling a giant map that easily shields both of them. Eddie’s fucking savior.
“Hey, you wouldn’t happen to know how to get to Japantown, would you?” the guy asks.

Eddie catches him out.

Summary
Vecna lies dead, Hawkins is (mostly) saved, and Robin graduated with honors, leaving Hawkins Hell in the dust hand in platonic hand with Eddie Munson. She for one is enjoying the normalcy of a summer without having to save the world. Still, there are ways things are kept interesting.
- - -
There was a split second where Robin realized Steve’s presence and he didn’t realize hers, and it was the longest second of her life. She took in, completely against her will, the toothbrush hanging from his mouth, the standard red Pauly’s polo in his hand, and, again, the hickeys scattered on his chest like a fucking connect-the-dots page.- Language:

Summary
Will imagined his death in numerous ways, numerous times. Being chosen as a tribute opened a road of new possibilities, some more horrifying than the others.
He doesn’t want to be torn to pieces like Randall Tier’s prey. He doesn’t want to be burned like Francis Dolarhyde prefers to kill. But most of all he doesn’t want to be caught by Hannibal Lecter, a career tribute with a penchant for eating his victims alive.
Too bad Hannibal seems fixated on him.

Summary
Steve Harrington is his thousandth secret; his longest secret; the one that matters both too much and not enough. Sometimes, Eddie wants to put it all down on paper, tease out the threads until they lay flat and he can see the beginning, the middle, the end, understand how they got here and there, how it both started and ended with the sharp press of a beer bottle to the stubbled skin of Steve’s throat.
It might make him feel better. Might make everything fucking worse.
Regardless, Steve is a secret, and Eddie keeps him.
For whatever that’s worth.
In 1983, a battered Steve Harrington sits at Eddie's table in the library.

Summary
Steve jerks awake, sitting up so quickly that Robin almost topples over and staring wildly around the room. When his gaze lands on Eddie, he blanches visibly.
“Oh, shit,” he mutters. “Come on, no. Come on. Not again.”
“Harrington?” Eddie asks slowly. He does not love the way that Steve is staring at him right now. He really doesn’t. Steve looks like he’s staring at a ghost, a bloodied monster, like Eddie is something that should not exist in the light of day. “You good, dude?”
