Summary
“You’re bleeding,” a voice said from behind him.
Eddie whipped around to see a boy around his age standing there, hands tucked in his pockets and staring at Eddie as if he were some kind of injured animal. It took Eddie a minute to realize who he was looking at. Once he did, his blood ran cold.
“Y-yeah,” Eddie croaked and grabbed his arm, not sure what to do as he eyed the boy. He was softer in appearance, much more put together than Eddie was. And truthfully, Eddie was half-expecting to get his face used like a soccer ball—to swallow some dirt—but the beating never came. Instead, the boy offered Eddie a look of pity before he turned on his heel and walked towards the large house, leaving Eddie to stand there wondering if he should stay put or follow.
“Come on,” the boy called from over his shoulder. “My parents are out of town and I’ve got a first aid kit.”
Eddie followed him.
That was the day he became friends with Steve Harrington.
or;
A timeline of Eddie's life from when his mom died to the day he met Steve Harrington and fell in love.

Summary
Eddie regretted every choice he’d made that had brought him to this point. He wasn’t a man prone to regret. Not even the prolonged hospitalization and recurrent nightmares following Vecna had been enough to make him regret meeting and becoming enmeshed with the Party. But this. This was too far. He regretted it now.
Because Steve Harrington was eating a strawberry.
A wanton, juicy strawberry. His nimble fingers gripped the leaves and held the plump, red fruit against his parted lips. Lips stained red with the juice of the lucky fruits before this one. Lips Eddie had never particularly noticed before this very moment. Lips he now needed to feel against his own. Lips he knew he’d never be able to feel against his own.
=================
OR, Steve terrorizes Eddie all summer by eating very sexy fruit very sexily.

Summary
“Earth to Eddie,” Steve says, voice light. “Do you copy?”
“Huh?” Eddie blinks, brilliantly articulate. Steve snorts.
“You looked pretty far gone. You good?”
“Yeah—yeah, I’m good.”
The smile Steve gives him is fond, golden, warm enough to melt steel. “Good. ‘Cause don’t think I forgot our deal, Munson. Come on, let’s get you in the pool.”
Eddie gasps, hand to his chest in mock scandal. “Steven. Is this a ploy to get me wet and naked?”
Steve’s already halfway to the house, but he tosses a wink over his shoulder, all smooth confidence. “Believe me, I wouldn’t need a ploy for that.”
Eddie swallows hard—loud enough he’s pretty sure Steve hears it—and for a second he seriously considers bolting in the opposite direction. But his legs move him forward anyway, like they know something his brain hasn’t caught up to yet.
Thin swim trunks suddenly feel like a terrible idea.

Summary
Eddie was running again. Naively, he’d thought his heroic moment in the upside-down would be the miraculous end to his cowardice, but apparently inter-dimensional monsters were easier to face than four guys with a brick and a goddamn thesaurus of slurs.
Luckily – if he was feeling optimistic - he found himself on a familiar road, stumbling towards the house of the one person he never wanted to see him like this.
Or: It takes being chased through the woods, bleeding and bruised, for Eddie to admit to Steve that he is gay and then three dates before he realises Steve likes him too.

Summary
Eddie’s doing what he does most evenings: lying stretched across the couch—the one they nabbed from Steve’s house when they moved in together as real roommates versus half living at each other’s places, and had managed to prove could be broken in comfortably when it was actually used—but he’s stretched over it, ankles dangling off the end and head propped on Steve’s thigh where he sits on the far cushion, and today Eddie’s just reading. Tomorrow he may do something entirely different; but he’ll be stretched right here either way.
Eddie can’t for the life of him understand what makes today different. What makes his eyes lift to Steve mid-breath, and in the clench of his heartbeat he sees it. Nothing feels any different, but he understands all at once what it means that it doesn’t.
And that makes all the difference.
Because when he opens his mouth on the exhale it’s like his heartbeat pushes up all the things that have lived in him maybe for forever, that he maybe just didn’t add up as two plus two fucking equals—
“I love you.”
—equals…Steve.
——
Or: Eddie has a revelation, and says three very important words.
Steve…doesn’t react as expected.

Summary
It was 2023 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Steve Harrington didn't know what he was doing with his life. Home from college with a barely passing GPA, recently dumped, and drunkenly careening down a dark country road to the tune of his own misery, Steve was aware that he might be depressed. Therapy would've been the sane solution. But before he could turn around and make that choice, a glowing red hole cracked open in the middle of the road, and he was sent flying through time and space.
It was also 1985 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Eddie Munson had a five step plan on how to fix his life. First, graduate high school. Second, provide a kickass D&D campaign for the nosy little freshman that joined Hellfire. And finally, write more music and go on tour with his band. Okay, three step plan. Absolutely nothing about his plan-in-progress included stumbling across the hottest man he'd ever seen stranded on the side of the road. Or the glowing red portal to hell parked next to him.

Summary
Crushes are a pretty common thing in teenagers, especially ones on older people. It was seen in the way Dustin always grinned at Nancy, or how Mike went through a phase of following Jonathan around like his life depended on it. It was just a part of growing up, so everyone knew what would happen when Steve Harrington joined their mismatched group.

"As Steve watches Eddie from the hospital bed, he suddenly finds he wants to crush Eddie to him, tell Eddie that he’s insanely happy he’s here, even if this is some crazy dreamworld. And he wants to shove his tongue into Eddie’s mouth and kiss him stupid. Because he somehow knows how awesome kissing Eddie is. As if they’ve done it before. More than once. Which they haven't... right?"

Bookmarker's Notes
Eddie: My make up skills are unmatched. So good that even Steve Harrington thinks I’m a girl while drunk. However, he is tragically straight and cannot possibly be into me.
Steve, a seasoned bisexual only on his second drink: God Eddie looks so fucking hot in that dress. -
Tags
Summary
“You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t believe you, Harrington. Straight boys don’t get off thinking about dick. That’s an indisputable fact of the universe, and a key point in my own personal doctrine.”
And maybe Steve should laugh, shrug, call it a night. He should do that, re-examine all of this when he’s sober.
He doesn’t. Instead, he says, “Try me.”
Eddie lifts himself up on an elbow, turning to his side so that he’s looming over Steve when he says, “Just to confirm…”
Steve nods encouragingly, bolstered by the absence of a dismissive laugh, an awkward change of topic.
“You’re saying that you want me,” Eddie continues, eyes darting between Steve’s, “to talk about fucking a dude. To see if you get hard.”
—
Or; Steve’s pretty sure he could get hard while thinking about gay sex, even though he’s straight. Eddie’s just along for the ride.

“Are you seeing anyone?” Steve asked. Super casual.
Eddie snorted. “Oh yeah, I have to bar my door against all the potential suitors. People are really clamoring to get with me.”
People. Not girls. Huh.
“Not sure why you’re joking. There are a ton of people who would love to sleep with you.”
“Yeah, ha ha, very funny,” Eddie said rolling his eyes as he took another hit.
“I’m serious! You have to know you’re hot, right?”
Steve watched as Eddie swallowed, his throat bobbing as he cut a sideways look at Steve. “Dude, shut up. Nobody’s interested in me. I think I would know if they were.”

When Steve goes for a late night walk to the quarry, he runs into none other than Eddie Munson. After they both confide in the other about their personal struggles, Eddie offers to smoke with Steve in the back of his van. Steve agrees, only to get way more than he'd originally bargained for. He's pleasantly surprised.Series

Eddie chuckled nervously. “Um, maybe you’re too out of it to tell, but I’m not some hot chick. I’m a dude.”
Steve scoffed, as if that was the stupidest thing Eddie could have said. “Yeah, duh you’re not a hot chick. You’re Eddie. Which makes you a hot dude.”
Yeah, alright, Eddie was definitely blushing now. What was he even supposed to do with this? Did Steve realized what he was saying? Was there a drug that could make you gay? If there was, the government was going to be pissed.
Or
All Eddie wanted to do was stop by Starcourt Mall to pick up his friend from the movies. But now he has a seemingly drugged up Steve Harrington leaning in WAY too close. And... did he seriously just call him pretty?

Summary
"But, for some reason, this place doesn’t feel standard. Maybe it’s the fact that all the pictures on the walls look modern and aren’t filled with old white dudes holding cans of Bud Light. Maybe it’s the fact that the music, thank god, isn’t beer, truck, dog country or rock music that Republicans like.
Or maybe the charm has everything to do with the bartender.
Good god. Eddie thinks he might die right then and there."
OR
Eddie and the guys go to a new place in search of a trivia spot safe from frat bros. What Eddie doesn't expect is to become smitten with not one, but two of the bartenders who work there.
Or so he thinks.

Or The Summer of Perpetual Confusion for Robin Buckley
What do you do when you thought you were only attracted to women but then Steve Harrington turns up as your co-worker and he's neither as douchebaggy nor as unattractive as he should be?
If your name is Robin Buckley, you have a tiny crisis about it, try to ignore Steve Harrington, his weird squad of middle-schoolers and the two guys who are flirting with him, and then declare him your platonic soulmate because suddenly everything makes sense after two confessions in a mall bathroom.
No big deal.
___Robin was more confused than she'd been all summer and she'd been really, really confused for most of it. Part of it was probably the drug, or the vomiting or maybe the everything of the last however many hours but the biggest part of it was still the person who just a short time ago had been tortured by Russians, trying to shield her from the worst of it.
Now they were both huddled in this bathroom stall and she had just spilled her biggest secret.
Secrets. Plural.
