Summary
It all starts with Eddie having a terrible month, missing his uncle on a sad and lonely Christmas Eve, and a card sent on a whim to a stranger now living in his childhood home.
Somehow, it ends with Eddie spending New Year's in the arms of Steve, the unbelievably sweet man who received his card and made it his mission to find Eddie via the power of the internet.
In the middle of it all, the winter holidays come and go, but the story isn't about that; it's about life that keeps on going between the cracks of holiday cheer. It's a story of texting for miles, processing grief, accepting kindness, attempting self-growth, falling in love so hard and fast it feels almost impossible, and a very cute emotional support cat.Bookmarked by notkami

Summary
Steve and Eddie are best friends.
In their first year of college, Steve realizes he's bisexual—and that he has feelings for Eddie. Before he even has the opportunity to open up, Eddie's opinions push Steve further into the closet.
"Everything is just a joke to you! It's not! You don't get to sit around saying shit like that like it's a fun personality quirk! Like you're better than everyone else!"
"Alright, fine," Eddie says, defensive, eyes sharp now.
"I fucked up. I said something stupid and now I guess I'm the poster child for biphobia. I'm sorry."Steve's chest is burning. His mouth tastes like anger and dust and the stale air of the closet.
"No you're not. You're just another guy who doesn't think about the shit that comes out of his mouth."Bookmarked by notkami

Summary
Eddie comes back after a while, but he's not quite the same. He recognizes all the people that visit him in the hospital, but he doesn't know them, like they're songs he's heard before but can't sing along to. He's paler, and colder, and he has extra teeth now.
And Steve can't stop falling in love with him, especially when Eddie won't stop staring at him, all wide-eyed and full of wonder and curiosity.

Summary
Steve is from a small town; less than 3,000 people, and he's been lonely all his life. When he leaves for college, his parents warn him against the heathens of the rest of the world, but his eyes find someone interesting, someone his parents would hate, hide from, pray for. And Steve finds that he can't really bring himself to care what they'd think. As his faith fades, so does his loneliness, and something else takes their place.

Summary
“Eddie,” Gareth says, solemnly.
Eddie nods.
“I’m telling you now, even though I know it’s pointless, because you never listen to anything I say. Ever.”
Eddie nods again.
“Please. I am begging you. Do not fuck our new roommate.”
“Why the fuck would you say that?” Eddie hisses, cheeks aflame again. “What is wrong with your-”
“That’s all I’m saying,” Gareth interrupts airily, hands up in mock surrender. “No further objections. You’re just a natural disaster, and I’d rather keep the apartment a conflict free zone, so.”---
Eddie and Gareth require two new roommates (must be okay with illegally housed cats, must be chill with late night band practices). Robin and Steve require a place to live, and have little to no other options.
Months down the line, Eddie still finds himself tongue tied and avoidant around his very hot-probably-straight-weirdly-intense new cohabitation buddy, which is all very well and good- until they end up snowed in together during a powercut, and are forced to get a little cozy together <3- Language:

“I don’t… I don’t have the scars to prove it. But I’ve tried, like… two or three times.”

Summary
“We’re at home, and Robin is downstairs,” Eddie murmurs, and the fear in Steve’s chest is momentarily replaced with warmth.
“We’re at home,” he repeats, looking into Eddie’s eyes. “And Robin is downstairs.”
or; Steve is scared of water, and tries to just deal with it. Be a man. Owens says trauma doesn’t just go away, but nothing else seems to help. Except a few things. Robin’s soft voice, her fingers in his hair. Eddie’s shiny eyes, his wet skin sliding across Steve’s.

Summary
"Don't fuckin' talk about yourself like that, Steve," he says, swallowing his anger, because he can tell Steve doesn't need that right now, doesn't need someone to be angry at him. "You don't have to apologize for... for being overwhelmed."
"That wasn't normal, Eddie," Steve says.
"You think I give a shit about normal?"
or: Steve has a meltdown during a pool party and somehow Eddie's the one there with him. And they come to some conclusions.

Summary
Steve is looking at him, awed. He stares at Eddie’s ribs like they have the answers to all his questions etched between them. Like there’s revelation written in between the fading whorls where his wounds knit together over the past year.
He reaches out, soft and slow- the way you approach a wounded dog. Don’t bite me, his hands are saying- I want to show you gentle touch.
---
one year post-vecna, and eddie's trying really hard to repress his feelings for steve. he'd probably be very successful at that, if it weren't for steve interfering every single step of the way

“What size were you thinking? Where’s this going?”
Steve pointed to the middle one, barely an inch wide.
“I was thinking my wrist?”
Eddie smiled at him.
“Sounds good, sunshine.”
Oh. That was not good.
That little thing his stomach just did?
Nope. Not good at all.

“Don't work yourself up.” Eddie says blankly, like he's reading Steve thoughts, and like they're telepathically annoying. "It's okay, we're good.”
“What's wrong then?”
“Nothing, just... Forget it. You're perfect. Don't change a thing.”-----

Summary
Eddie Munson’s seen enough of Steve Harrington to last a lifetime. He’s rich, popular, mean for sport, and somehow manages to turn every house party into his own personal ego parade. Between that and the fact that Steve and his jock buddies have made Eddie’s life miserable since freshman year, Eddie’s got plenty of reasons to hate him. Then one night, Eddie finds Steve somewhere he never thought he’d be, and suddenly “King Steve” doesn’t look quite so untouchable.

Summary
It’s been a year since the shitstorm with Vecna, and Eddie Munson’s made it big with his band This Machine Slays Dragons. He hasn’t really stayed in touch with anyone, because why would he? He bounced as soon as he could, without a diploma, tail between his legs. Turns out the real world had a few treats in store for him, after all.
Steve Harrington isn't really stuck in Hawkins. He’s got the kids to look after, the portal to check on, and Robin to keep him company. Things are damn near ordinary, these days, and Steve's grateful for it.
And then Eddie Munson shows up.
-
“Um,” starts Steve, tapping his foot. “This is gonna sound, like, really dumb, but I heard this song on the radio? It’s— if I sing it to you, do you think you would, I don’t know, recognise it?”
The music store employee's eyebrows climb up her forehead, but she nods slowly. “I’m game. Take it away, cowboy.”

Summary
Steve has had a lot of sex. Eddie has had none. Zero, nada, nothing.
He can’t tell Steve he hasn’t done it before. He just can’t. He doesn’t even want to think of what Steve’s reaction is. Eddie is twenty one years old and he just had his first kiss a few months ago. Who wouldn’t laugh about that? Especially King Steve, highest body count in all of Hawkins.
***
Eddie is too embarrassed to tell Steve he's still a virgin. Their relationship gets to a point where he knows he can't keep it from him anymore. Steve makes it clear to Eddie that he doesn't mind at all.
