Summary
Eddie is dead and weird things start happening to Steve. Why is this spatula moaning? What is happening with his pants?
And why does the voice sound just like Eddie?

Summary
Somewhere along the line, though, between right hooks and cigarette burns and the smell of white lightning that never seems to fade, Eddie discovered that the word “no” didn’t feel good in his mouth. Twisted his tongue up all weird, stung like acid when he swallowed it, burned a hole in his stomach that ate away at every cell and atom in his body.
He never got to try it out much, and the few times he did proved fruitless in the end. What’s the point, he figured, of mustering up all that courage to grit out a word that stings like poison if it’s only going to be spat back in his face anyway?
Or,
Eddie doesn't know how to say no, but he knows how to safeword.

Summary
Steve’s always been good at taking care of other people. Eddie’s the first one to notice that maybe Steve needs someone to take care of him, too, and that sometimes all it takes is a little praise to make the noise in his head go quiet.

Summary
A year after Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down, Steve Harrington finds him alive in front of the trailer he used to call home.
But Eddie is different than before. He has ears that peek, bat-like, above his hair and eyes that burn gold in the night, and the memories of his old life, his name, the relationship he and Steve once held, are gone.
Steve is left to pick up the pieces, to help Eddie adjust to his new normal, all while hoping that someday life can be as it once was.
**
“Eddie,” he pleads, “Eddie, baby—”
But Eddie’s eyes are already rolling back, his consciousness slipping as Steve holds him.
“Robin!” He doesn’t recognize his own voice, high and cracking and desperate. “Robin, help me!” He cradles Eddie’s face in his hand and supports him with the other, blood staining his shirt.
Steve doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about anything because Eddie is here. He’s alive. He’s different and bloodied but even as Robin approaches, even as she tells him this looks really bad, Steve, Steve breathes his first full breath since 1986.

Summary
Eddie ignores the flip flopping in his stomach as he meets Steve’s gaze and fits his palms to either side of Steve’s jaw. Cradles his face like he’s something special now. (Because he is.)
And then he leans in to kiss him. Right on those pretty pink lips of his.
It’s short and sweet like it always is, but when Eddie pulls back and opens his eyes, he’s met with Steve’s, wide as fucking saucers, goggling unblinkingly back at him. He can feel Robin’s stare boring into the side of his face, can feel the tiny pinpricks of Nancy’s and Jonathan’s and Argyle’s on his back too. The whole room is quiet enough to hear a god damn pin drop.
Eddie is about to open his mouth and ask what the hell that’s all about when it finally catches up with him.
He just fucking kissed Steve fucking Harrington. On the mouth.
