Summary
“Dwarves tend to use the stones they come from, but here,” Gandalf says, reaching into some hidden pocket of his robes and revealing a handful of very dirty gemstones. “Take these.”
Covered in dirt and all else, Bilbo really can’t see what he’s even looking at. A couple of gems, perhaps, or crystals. Only one tends to be actually cut into the fashion of rings, but the others look like they’ve come from the ground directly. One looks to be a garnet, but that’s the only color he recognizes.
“And pray tell,” Bilbo drawls, “what am I supposed to do with this?”
Gandalf laughs, fully bodied and leaning forward slightly. Bilbo can’t help but stare, half debating on throwing the mismatched rocks right onto the ground.
“Why, give it to Thorin, perhaps? As a token of… friendship,” Gandalf says.
-
Or Bilbo gives Thorin a gem that means lust. Thorin eventually replies with a flower that means hate. They figure it out in the end.

Summary
Steve looked over at Eddie during these moments and pictured his future rewritten. A future where instead of Nancy Wheeler or some other nice girl sitting passenger in their RV, Eddie Munson would be there. Eddie would be tucking kids into bed and reading them stories. Eddie would be making road-trip trail mix and packing a cooler with water bottles and juice boxes. Eddie as his life partner, the constant variable throughout anything. It no longer felt so scary to think about it. The fact that it wasn’t scary to think about in and of itself was scary but Steve has handled scary before.
On-going fic showcasing slices of Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson living life together.

Summary
The Wizard Munson is supposed to inspire fear and awe. A trickster, a devil, a power unmatched.
Blah blah blah; Steve only sees the gangly boy who almost fell off the roof of the Harrington’s tailoring shop, trying and failing to be stealthy and mysterious when Steve was not yet ten—so where whispers follow down alleyways about the dreaded terrors of the Wizard?
Steve really just sees the goofball. His Eddie.
“Come with me, Stevie,” Eddie doesn’t even pause for pleading, dives right in and begs him as if Steve needs convincing; "if nothing else, come with me so I know you’re safe, so I can do what needs doing without splitting half of me always just worrying. Save me from scrying out endlessly, to make sure you’re okay.”
Steve’s heart thumps painful, pathetic: pure and unvarnished in a way he thinks is only possible when Eddie’s nearby. Only possible for Eddie, at all.
Which means the answer’s wholly obvious—the war’s getting worse, this is his Eddie—only one response was ever really on the table:
“Alright.”

Summary
Here’s what no-one else in the boathouse knows: it’s not the first time Eddie has pinned Steve up against a wall. It’s not the first time Steve has been stuck under Eddie’s stare, it’s not the first time they’ve been close enough to feel each other’s heartbeats. No-one else knows that there’s more than fear in Eddie’s eyes, that there’s something akin to resentment, or maybe malice, or, Steve can’t tell, is it sadness, or desperation?
Or:
Steve and Eddie knew each long before Vecna, before Hellfire, before the Upside Down.

perfect mix of angst and fluff! also, extremely well written. i saw fanart of eddie and steve as best friends when they were little but grew apart so by season four at the boathouse their relationship was different. the time switches back and forth almost every paragraph, showing the past and the present. someone in the comments of pinterest recommended a fic like that and this didn’t let me down. so gooddddd!!! love this one sm! one of my favs! <333
