Summary
“Hey,” is the first thing Steve says, when Eddie is coughing and choking and coming back to life in his arms, “so I know you just got resurrected and all, but you’re still a wanted fugitive – so we sort of have to move.”

Summary
It's just that Steve likes to take care of people. He likes to be needed.
And God, does Eddie need him right now.
So, they'd started this weird codependent sleep thing with the best of intentions. A way to find comfort, to get rest, to process what happened to them with someone who understood, who they didn't have to lie to.
That's all it was meant to be.

Summary
"What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”
OR
Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.
(But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

Summary
Steve seems to view Princess more as his literal baby than a dog. She’s ascended beyond the status of a canine. She seems to represent the entire earth to Steve. And is Eddie jealous of a dog? No, that would be stupid. He’s thrilled by how happy Steve is, how soundly he’s sleeping.
But is Eddie suspicious of a dog? Indeed.

Summary
There’s almost an entire decade between Steve and the kid sitting on his parents’ couch. It’s weird because Steve doesn’t really feel old most days.
He’s grown up, sure, moved out of his parents' house and left Hawkins and pays rent and utilities and, like, votes. He has a job and he gets coffee with Robin and shares a bed with Eddie and they go grocery shopping on Sundays.
And not a day goes by when Steve doesn’t feel like he has no idea what the hell he’s doing.
But right now he’s staring at the baby-faced kid he used to be, hair styled back and big, neat polo shirt and Levi’s, a sharply defensive glint in his eyes. He’s Steve but Steve hasn’t been that guy in a long time.
[Or: Sometimes the real demogorgan is the friends you make along the way.]

Summary
“I’ve been bringing my flock over these hills for years,” Steve offers. “It’s nice, this close to Hallow’s Eve, around here. The apples,” he gestures towards the stranger with one of them, and takes a big bite. “The leaves changing color,” he says, spitting bits of apple inelegantly into the fire. They pop and sizzle when they hit the flames, briefly filling the air with a spiced, earthy smell.
“This close?” The stranger looks at him, eyebrows raised. He’s got such an expressive face, Steve almost wants to seize him by the cheeks and see how he can stretch it, press it, what shapes it might make in his hands. “How close?”
“To Hallow’s Eve?” Steve loses track of days out here, so he has to retrace the last few sunsets, how many of them have passed since he last waved goodbye to Robin as he brought out the flock. “I don’t know… a week? Little less?”
“That soon,” the man says quietly. Stares into the fire, expressive face gone still. “Almost out of time.”

Summary
Vecna dies. So does Eddie. The world doesn't split open. In the aftermath, Steve goes home to an empty house.
Well. Almost empty.
Steve sighs, hanging his head. One more thing. Then he can go to bed.
The dirty towel can wait until later. He tosses it towards the bathtub without looking and turns to the sink, grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste. When he looks in the mirror, Eddie’s staring back at him.

Summary
Steve pulls up to just outside the garage door, then cuts the engine.
He turns in his seat.
“Eddie.”
He startles, a visibly painful jerk, and his eyes snap to Steve. Steve meets them steadily, trying to project calm. Eddie’s gaze do linger on him for a moment, before he looks around. The house towers above them, dark and empty. Eddie frowns, plainly confused, then glances to Steve and-
Realization dawns, then it’s quickly followed by anger and… hurt? The first quickly eclipses the latter, and Eddie flings open the car door.
“See you around, I guess, Harrington,” he spits, beginning to limp away.
Steve is so startled that it takes him a moment to get his bearings.
“Hey!” he calls, scrambling out of the car. “Hey! Where are you going?! You can barely even walk!”
“Home,” Eddie snaps. “And I’m walking because apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t deserve a fucking ride.”
“Oh, for the love of-,” Steve mutters, then runs the couple of hobbled steps that Eddie has managed to put between them, grabbing his arm to spin him around.
“Your home is half portal, idiot,” Steve says. “You’re staying with me.”- Language:

Summary
Steve almost whispers, “We’re, uh… we’re doing this then?”
Eddie swallows, pretends it’s not basically a gulp. He nods, pretends it’s not a little frantic.
“You’re sure?” Steve says, moving closer to Eddie as if to test the waters.
“Yes,” Eddie says.
Steve closes the rest of the distance so they’re sitting with their legs pressed against each other. He tentatively reaches out, taking hold of Eddie’s hand where it rests on his knee, like it’s the easiest way to establish physical contact.
Steve looks up at him, earnest as Eddie’s ever seen him. “You’re totally, completely, and one-hundred percent sure you want to do this?”
Eddie tries and fails not to roll his eyes and groan.
“Like I said, I am sure, so please, for the love of all that is good and holy, do not make me beg you to fuck me,” Eddie says, grateful that his voice isn’t shaking like the rest of his body.
(or: Eddie tries not to lose his ever loving mind when his best friend Steve offers to take his virginity)

Summary
On the one hand Steve likes sex and the other hand he really, really, really likes having sex with Eddie.
Eddie seems to agree, gasps and writhes and sings Steve’s praises as soon as he’s caught his breath. He gets this smile sometimes, when he’s looking at Steve, small and half-secret, eyes so full of affection that Steve feels bigger on the inside, like his lungs and his heart and all the other mushy bits inside him are swelling up and his skeleton is stretching to accommodate them. And that isn’t just when they’re doing it, either, it happens other times too, like when they’re brushing their teeth together in the teeny-tiny trailer bathroom or playing air hockey at the arcade.
So it’s not that he’s worried about liking sex with Eddie because he’s a guy, that’s not what’s stuck in Steve’s head like a popcorn kernel jammed between his molars.
[Or: Steve solves a riddle that wasn't that much of mystery at all.]

Summary
Robin makes a sound, soft, questioning. “I thought you and Eddie were already. You know.” She makes a crude gesture, looks so ridiculous that Steve can’t help but laugh.
“We are, but we haven’t—” Banged? Boned? All the stupid words he would have used with Tommy feel crude now. Steve’s hands are sweating.
He licks at the corner of his mouth, settles on a neutral. “We haven’t done that. Yet.”
Robin makes a pensive noise. “And you want to do that. With Eddie.”

Summary
Eddie picks up the thread of Steve’s joke. “I’m visually impaired right now, Steve and even I can say with confidence that you’ve definitely looked better.” He bites the inside of his right cheek, holds his breath while he gauges Steve’s reaction.
Steve’s grin turns a little more solid around the edges, his eyes crinkling with amusement when he says, “Yeah?”
They stare at each other, caught in the weirdest game of chicken, the teasing air between them so at odds with their setting, their injuries, the last two weeks of dealing with shit wildly out of their control. Eddie looks away first, reaches out and plucks the ice bucket from Steve’s relaxed hold. “C’mon Steve, grab your shit. I’ll stroke your ego later.”
“Promises, promises.”
[Or: After everything is done and over with, Eddie's stuck waiting for things to go back to normal. Luckily, he's got Steve to keep him company.]

“How far’ve you gone? What've you done before?”
Eddie didn’t think it was possible for his cheeks to get any warmer, but lo and behold, they do.
“Uh.” He swallows, fighting the urge to curl into a pillbug. “Nothing.”

“You two take care of each other.” Wayne Munson said to them both when he helped them move to Indy more than a decade ago.
And they try. God, do they try.

Summary
“Uh,” Eddie says. “Hey Wheeler.”
“I’m leaving Hawkins at the end of the summer,” she says fiercely. “And I’m not coming back.”
“Oh,” Eddie clears his throat. “Good for you.” It’s a very popular sentiment around town these days, personally Eddie thinks it should be put into practice across the board.
“You’re coming with me,” Nancy says, in a tone that doesn’t really invite discussion or argument.
“Um. Okay?”
Seriously? That’s all you got, man? But before Eddie can get through fully kicking his own ass for that weak response, Wheeler’s giving him a tight nod and a flash of a satisfied smile, before getting back in the car and onto the road without so much as another word or glance at him.

Summary
The late June heat lingers with a slow sort of stretch that envelops the two amid the sleepy safety of dusk. Steve’s sleeves hastily rolled and shoved haphazardly onto peeling, sunburnt shoulders in accommodation as they aimlessly walk empty neighborhood streets. Bathed in the golden lamplight of suburbia. Steve distracted enough to allow the older boy to lead him this far along without so much as a question of their destination since leaving the hotboxed confines of Eddie’s Uncle’s trailer.
“Hey,” He begins conversationally. Eddie’s eyebrows lifting expectantly, though he goes on smoking. “The element of surprise and I don’t mix so well these days, you know? Not that consideration exactly comes to mind when I think of you, Munson. But —“
Steve’s face softens as Eddie’s eyes roll theatrically. “Could be nice to clue me in now.”
