Summary
It’s 1994, and Eddie’s been a guest of Uncle Sam at Pelican Bay since it opened in ‘89, when his public defender stopped defending and he resigned himself to the sixty to life bag the Spring Break of ‘86 had left him holding. Sure, the series of frantic transfers that made Wayne and the Party lose track of him (and cost him his unlikely prison penpal, Steve Harrington) truly were a bummer, but life’s actually not too bad, in the long run: he’d got three hots and a cot, ya know, and sometimes a few of the other inmates actually believe him when he tells them he’s innocent. Still — the new lawyer and a paralegal shaped suspiciously like one Erica Sinclair is starting to give him pause, and make him wonder if the story's not quite over yet…
Or: a story about seven letters, the worst love song ever written, and a heist.

Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man by steveharringtoned
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“Steve, that doesn’t make any sense,”
Aggressively dismissing their protests with repetitive hand gestures, Steve stands from the camper-vans built in seats, speaking in the way he usually did when the kids were trying to put themselves in the line of fire. “Yes, it does. Out of everyone here, I’ve suffered the least.”
He allows for a pause, just in case anyone argues. They don’t.
In which Steve is adamantly against using Max as bait for Vecna after everything; going above and beyond to make sure she never has to live through that ever again.
Even if that means taking her place.
(He doesn’t anticipate Jason Carver finding them there.)
((Or the discoveries that come when a demon is rifling through your head for the worst times of your life. Ones you may not even remember.))

Summary
Robin: Oh Dingus.
Steve: It’s fine. Sorry. Didn’t want to be a downer. I’ll deal with it. There are people living on the streets and I’m whining about my dad giving me a very well-paying job without me having a college degree.
Robin: You have a right to be upset. Misery is no competition. It sucks that you feel like you have no agency. Maybe there’s something you can do for yourself? Dye your hair black? Get a nipple piercing? That tattoo you were always talking about?
Steve: My dad would kill me if I dyed my hair black.
Robin: That’s not a no to the piercing or the tattoo. Come on, lover boy. Live a little. Be wild. Give your dad the middle finger where he can’t see it.
Or: The one where Steve is tired of living the life his parents want for him. His act of rebellion? Getting a tattoo.
When he meets Eddie, his tattoo artist, he gets so much more.

Summary
Only Robin, who was simultaneously fearless and had the constitution of an autumn leaf, would think going to a scare walk would be a fun time. It wasn't the scares that got Steve's heart beating in the end though - it was the vamped up actor with a bloody red guitar and a dangerous grin on top of a roof.

Summary
The first thing to go is the wallpaper.
The walls are the same as they were when Barbara got taken, that same white and blue checkered pattern he’s followed with his eyes for endless hours after every stint in the Upside Down, after Billy Hargrove and the pack of demodogs and the terrifying nightmare of the underground russian base, and Steve can’t stop himself from shivering in his sweat-soaked pyjamas, tossing the covers to the side as he rolls off the bed. He can feel his heartbeat in his throat, and his vision is blurry around the edges, skin stretched tight over whatever the fuck is brewing inside his body.
His gaze snags on the edge of the wallpaper, the little corner that is folding up under the light switch and Steve—he rips it off. Claws at it with the type of blind fury he’s grown intimate with.
This is what he’s good at.
OR: Steve inherits a house that has never felt like a home. He starts fixing what’s broken, finds help in unlikely places, and somewhere between paint cans and late-night talks, he learns what it means to build something that lasts.

Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

Summary
Eddie cracked one eye open, twisting his head just enough to smirk sideways. "Do I look uncomfortable?"
Steve gave him a look. "I'm being serious."
"So am I," Eddie said. "Do what you need. This is for science."
"It's not science."
"Art, then. Whatever." He flopped dramatically back into place. "Touch my ass in the name of education, Harrington."

Summary
Behind them, tires ease into the gravel on the edge of the road. Steve doesn’t bother looking. A car door slams, and then Munson says, “I don’t need you to stand up for me, Harrington.”
Steve still doesn’t look at him. He swears he sees shadows moving in the thick brush, and he shivers a little. He says, “What, with Byers? He’s just scared for his brother.”
“Yeah, I know that, dickweed.”
“Wow,” Robin says, voice low. “You were into that?”
Steve tilts his head, finally looks past where Robin is standing to see Munson, hair pulled back in a messy bun, denim vest shrugged on over the leather, ripped jeans baggy in all the wrong places, face flushed and scowling. “Unfortunately,” he says.
The package is a little different, but Steve knows deep down he’s the same protective, loyal, judgmental asshole he’s always been. It’s just, once upon a time, Steve was on the beneficial side of his personality disorder.
Or-
A modern season one AU with Robin and Eddie.

Jason cursed and glared down at Eddie. He grabbed him by the front of his shirt and dragged him a little further into the water. Eddie slammed his fists into Jason's arms until he was being dropped back down. His head submerged under the water and he shot up, gasping, only to have his head shoved back under again.

Summary
Somewhere in the trailer, the phone rings.
He lets it.
It rings again.
And again.
And fucking again, and he drags himself out of bed with a string of muffled curses, curving an arm around his stomach and hobbling into the kitchen, yanking the phone off the receiver.
“Fucking what?!” He snarls, and for one too-long moment, there’s silence.
And then–
“Is that how you greet everybody?”
Eddie freezes. Pulls the phone away from his body to stare at it, like it’ll make more sense if he can see it. Tucks it cautiously back against his ear.
“Harrington?”
*
Or, after the events of s4, the world is saved and the boys are quarantined in their homes. To stave off the loneliness and boredom, they start talking to each other over the phone.

Eddie lowers his arms and there he is. Everyone turns to see Steve Harrington cutting an intimidating figure in the moonlight, a bat spiked with nails in hand. And even from here, even with his vision swimming, Eddie can tell he’s fucking pissed. Steve glares down Jason with the wrath of god in his eyes.
AKA the scene we all deserved where Steve gets to be Eddie's knight in shining armour, and beat the absolute shit out of Jason and his gang.

Summary
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.
The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.
And yet.
On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.
“Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”
Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.
“Uncle Wayne?”
A story about the families we find and the love that finds us.

Summary
He stares down at the paper in his hands. He thought he’d feel relief, maybe a tiny bit of happiness that he’d never admit to. He even considered that he might feel a small speck of sadness the day his brother died.
But all Wayne Munson feels right now is disbelief and anger, and he doesn’t know where to hide it before Eddie gets home.
