Summary
When Whitaker accidentally sends a dick pic to Dr. Robby, he never thought it would end like this.
--
The ED team shuffles out, Whitaker and Dr. Robby taking up the rear. Dr. Robby stops him with a hand on Whitaker’s waist, there and gone. “Really,” he says low, directly into his ear, beard scratching his cartilage, “that was amazing. You didn’t waste any time starting compressions. That probably saved that baby’s life. You saved that baby’s life.”
The praise goes to his head, suffusing him with endorphins. “Thank you, Dad.” And he promptly wants to crawl out of his skin and slither down the drain with the after birth slop.

“You stalked me here, didn’t you?”
“Didn’t take long to find you. I have those Speedos on radar,” he says, nodding towards Steve’s crotch.

Steve Harrington can't wait to relax and celebrate with his baby girl in the week prior to her Lake Como wedding. He won't let anything ruin it. Not even the presence of his ex husband.

Summary
The mirror provides an escape—the opportunity for illusion.
In it, Steve sees Eddie looking at him—sees himself looking at Eddie in the same garish way—but reality is obstructed by reflection’s power to deceive. To bend light and truth.
“Flattering. Do I need to get HR on the line or are you going to behave?” He threatens, though it falls flat.
“ ‘dunno,” Eddie shrugs and Steve’s belly swims with that unavoidable heat, “guess that all depends on how much you hate me—how much do you hate me, Harrington?”
“Let me count the ways, Munson.”
“Enough to tell me to leave you alone?”
or, a Steddie enemies to lovers modern AU in which they both work for Steve's dad and things get complicated

He never wanted this, is the thing. Never wanted to stay in Hawkins. Never wanted to work for his father. Never wanted to be the guy who peaked in high school. But once his options had dried up, this is exactly where Steve Harrington ends up.
Enter Eddie Munson, who tears all of that to shreds, thank god.

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.”

Hellfire Books is reluctantly hiring, and Eddie really doesn’t hate Steve all that much in the end.

Summary
“See? I know he’s looking for a babysitter, Steve—I overheard it the other day. This is the perfect gig for you. You have to interview,” Dustin urged, his expression serious. “It’ll be awesome! I’m interning with the audio technicians… we can be like roadies, Steve.” He grinned, showing off the gap where his adult teeth never grew in.
Steve sighed, staring at the frozen image of the man on the screen.
Eddie Munson—the frontman of Corroded Coffin, one of the biggest metal bands of the modern era.
Eddie Munson—whose band had sold out nearly every venue on their last tour and graced the covers of Rolling Stone, Kerrang!, and Heavy Metal magazines, to name a few.
Eddie Munson—who lived fast and dangerously, with a well-documented history of heavy drugs, drinking, and sleeping with anyone who had legs a few years back.
Eddie Munson—who now had a three-year-old daughter that had mysteriously appeared on his doorstep, supposedly from a fan who left no information other than the fact that the girl belonged to Eddie.
That story had been everywhere when it broke.

Summary
‘Green.’
‘I don’t believe you.’
Steve grits his teeth, drops his head.
His hands are bound at the front, the rope of his wrists running down between his closed knees, around his cock, against his balls and under still, all the way to his ankles. Any movement of the hands drags friction. Clever design, but then Eddie always was the fucking Picasso of pain.
Steve tells himself he’d have said no to the drink.
It’s such a fucking lie.
Just like the green.

Summary
Eddie Munson is a mechanic at his uncle’s sunny SoCal garage during the day; at night, he’s one of the most highly sought after mechanics for the street racing community as they race for pink slips, cash, and glory. He works on all the winningest cars, makes a killing in his bets and cuts with the racers for his work, and is generally just a top dog in this underworld scene — until some new hotshot out of Miami shows up, allegedly tight with racing legend Joyce Byers (or maybe that ex-cop squeeze of hers), and starts sniping wins from Eddie’s guys. He wants to hate him, and the suped up, hot pink Honda S2000 he rolled in on; it’s just too bad that he’s also just Eddie’s type: pretty, mean, and lethal behind the wheel.
He’s desperate to keep his wits about him and to keep this grudge going, but it’s fucking near impossible when it seems like him and Harrington can’t keep their hands off each other whenever they end up in the same darkened clubs to save their lives. And it’s maybe even worse than just a shitty crush, because, all the while, someone is causing trouble for the whole racing community when a trio of white Honda Civics start robbing eighteen wheelers of their cargo, bringing the heat down on all of them...

Summary
In the wake of yet another overtly public scandal, the lead guitarist for the folk metal band Corroded Coffin is sent away to his Uncle’s town of Bumfuck Nowhere, Indiana to spend his summer taking care of himself.
Which said lead guitarist certainly doesn’t need. Because Chrissy is overreacting, and Eddie doesn’t need to be treated like a Victorian child with a prescription for ocean breezes, he needs to be in LA with his band, practicing. Writing. Rehearsing.
He’s fine.
But his manager’s will is iron, and Eddie arrives at his uncle’s door feeling much like the homeless teen he was a mere decade ago, tail between his legs as he asks for more than he’s ever been able to give, and taking more than he can ever hope to repay.
With Wayne taking his arrival in stride, Eddie is forced to integrate himself into this new, slower-paced reality. He harvests chicken eggs. Churns mayonnaise. Takes a stab at home repair and weeds Wayne’s garden, all while eyeing the unfairly hot beekeeper next door.
However as the summer progresses, and Eddie falls faster and deeper than he ever imagined, this new reality forces him to grapple with what his fame has given him, and what it has taken away.

Summary
Eddie made a strangled disbelieving noise, expression flickering. “You are not apologizing to me right now, for like, feeling a normal way about stuff. I can’t believe you.”
Steve pushed a shaking hand through his hair. His heart rate no longer in his ears meant he felt he could at least think a little more clearly. “Maybe it was the heat. Doesn’t always have to be something messed up, right?”
Eddie gave him a placating nod. “Sure, heat exhaustion is a helluva thing.”
It had been happening a lot recently. The… forgetting. Zonking out. Whatever. He was pretty sure he was just extra exhausted, it had been a few weeks since everything but it might have just been the adrenaline or something finally wearing off. Sometimes it was like he just forgot someone was speaking, or couldn’t remember for a moment what they’d been talking about. Like blinking out of a fog maybe.
It does not get better, in fact, it actually continues to get worse.

Summary
"Yet, when he looks at himself now—twelve years later, slightly wrinkled from laughter, softer in the middle and on his biceps, hair longer and curled on his shoulders—he can easily think of himself as pretty. In the warm glow of the bathroom. He’s pretty in a girlish way, or in the way he thinks of people like Nancy Wheeler and Carol Perkins and Barbara Holland. He’s pretty in a positive way.
And it feels right. The way the makeup accentuates some of his best features. How long his hair is, even if he thought about chopping it only a few days ago. With his glasses on, he truly looks more feminine. But…
Feminine doesn’t feel insulting when he attaches it to himself. It feels right. It feels like him. And that brings a fullness to his chest."

Summary
Not-so-secret smalltown lesbian Robin Buckley makes a last ditch attempt at heterosexuality by scoring a one night stand with her old bandmate Eddie, but while the sex does successfully confirm the annoying complete disinterest in men she harbors, it kickstarts another clusterfuck for her to deal with. She’s pregnant. And despite her better judgement, she’s keeping the baby.
Luckily, she finds a recently wedded Ms. Kelley and Mr Clarke looking to adopt. But to save herself from some of the mortification, of ya’ know; blowing up like a hormonal balloon throughout her Junior year, she decides to not tell anyone who the daddy is.
Not the daddy himself, not her parents, not even her favorite dingus. But as is the luck of your regular outcast pregnant sixteen-year-old, someone finds out. And like many secrets, Chrissy Cunningham doesn't make it easy to keep.

Summary
In the era after Vecna and (hopefully) the end of Upside Down-related chaos, Steve Harrington picks up a hobby passed to him with love and care, honoring a found family tradition. He finds peace in the art of crocheting: making things with his hands and sharing them with those he loves. From the adults who became the parental figures he never really had, to the kids who thrust themselves into his life and will likely never leave, along with the gang of misfits he calls his friends. Especially the one who is unexpectedly stealing his heart. With each new crocheting project, Steve shows his love for them in all the ways he knows how and slowly learns how to receive it in return.
Or, the 5 crochet projects Steve gives to everyone + the 1 project he makes just for Eddie.
