Summary
Eddie smiles through the blood. Grinning like the cat that ate the canary and not the nerd that just got decked, he nods. Then he throws his head back and howls in laughter. It’s a harsh sound in the too-small hallway. It bounces off the walls, making Steve wince as something coils inside him.
“Fuck, Harrington! I pegged you as a hitter, but I never imagined you’d be such a screamer.”
Or: Eddie Munson gets a job working at a haunted maze during the fall festival, and over the course of a single night, Steve Harrington's life turns into a series of struggles.

Summary
“I think Billy doesn’t like that Eddie’s queer,” Steve said quietly, though there was no one in the store to hear them. “This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Billy hanging around, watching him. Even following Eddie around. And if I’m right, he might be planning to do something to him. Hurt him. I don’t know. But if Billy goes after him, wanting to hurt him, and Eddie tries to fight back? Jesus, Robin. Billy’s dangerous. He could kill him.”
Or: Steve jumps to conclusions, and finds out more than he bargained for.

Summary
"Eddie Munson hated Steve Harrington. He didn’t even know why such disgust curled in his stomach at the mere sight of the other man. It wasn’t even like Steve had been rude or hurled insults at him like so many others at Hawkins High. Maybe it was because everything was so easy for him. Steve had a personality that people were drawn to. He was popular and liked. Girls practically threw themselves at him and all the boys wanted an invite to his parties. He was everything a person like Eddie was supposed to hate, so he did. It was a simple as that."
Eddie and Steve become partners on a school project. Unfortunately, Eddie Munson hates Steve Harrington. Things slowly change as they get to know one another. Somewhere along the lines, Eddie finds he doesn't hate Steve at all.

Summary
But Steve doesn’t have to worry about a potential lost child scenario, because a guy suddenly slips out of the booth he’d been sitting in, bending down to the kid’s eye level and subtly ensuring that she doesn’t hightail it out of there.
It takes a few seconds for Steve to recognise him; he’s still getting used to the whole phenomenon of seeing people without the high school setting behind them. Like, Robin used to be just a name from a class he can’t even recall, and now he knows her for her dry wit and love of cryptic crosswords.
And this Eddie Munson is sort of a different beast from the guy Steve saw stomping around the cafeteria tables.
He’s dressed pretty much the same, (Hellfire shirt sans the leather jacket must be the ‘summer look’, Steve reckons), but he’s quieter as he chats with the little girl, letting her try on one of his skull rings to distract from her obvious boredom. His grin is softer, too.

Summary
The Championship Game of 1985 is only a quarter of the way done, and Eddie is already certain that it’s not going to be a Hawkins victory.
It kinda blows, honestly. It’s boring, like correctly guessing the ending of a movie five minutes in.
And yeah, sue him, maybe high school basketball is a legitimate source of entertainment—he can admit that in the safety of his own head, at least.
Take, for example, the first game of the ‘83 tournament, when a timeout was called with only seconds remaining: the Tigers’ last hope of winning was to miraculously sink a shot with the fraction of time they had left. The tension in the air was palpable as the team formed a huddle—Eddie couldn’t hear anything apart from students chanting, but he stood on his tiptoes and found a gap in the crowd, just in time to read Steve Harrington’s lips: “I’ll make it.”
