Summary
1973
Before Eddie Munson was The Freak, he had another name shouted at him by his peers: Crow Boy. New to Hawkins after his mother's death, Eddie struggles to find friendship at the local elementary school. He finds himself being ridiculed for spending recess alone, finding shiny lost treasures on the school yard. An unlikely friend joins his side for a brief while before leaving him all alone again.1986
Steve Harrington doesn't have the best memory. Turns out, getting concussions is pretty damn bad for your brain. He forgets bits and pieces of old memories that return whenever they please. There's something about Eddie Munson that he can't quite place... Until he does. It seems some apologies are in order.Time has changed them both, but deep down inside they're still the same boys from thirteen years ago. Though, friendship might not be the only thing to arise from their reunion.

Summary
Steve’s mind is racing. Would it be possible to solve Eddie’s problem, and by extension, his own problem, without a lick of jail time for either of them?
It’s genius, he thinks. Even Dustin would be proud of him.

Summary
“What else?” Eddie goads, once he’s done rolling his eyes all over Steve. “Who else is mean to poor baby rich boy, Steve Harrington?”
“You,” Steve points out, voice high, teetering on the edge of something he doesn’t fully understand. “All the other counselors, for that matter. I see how you guys look at me.”
And I see how you're looking at me right now, he wants to add.

OR: Camp Counselors Steve and Eddie have their differences... and something in common, too.

Summary
When Eddie gets a message on instagram from an account claiming to be the famous pop-star Steve Harrington, he knows immediately it's a catfish. He's not dumb. The account has no pictures and people like Steve Harrington don't just randomly DM guys like Eddie.
Still. What would be the harm in letting it play out? It's not dangerous if he knows he's being catfished. No, if he knows about it, then it's basically like a fun little roleplay. No harm, no foul.
(Eddie is not, in fact, being catfished)

Summary
Whatever carefully blank expression Lestat is trying on disappears like a slap. “Armand made a fledgling. Why would he do that?” Lestat asks.
“Oh, you know,” Louis says, watching the three dots of a new text pop up. “He knew Daniel was… important to me.”
He means to say it with rueful annoyance, as if to say, “so he ruined him.” But as Daniel’s text comes in—the most important question I should have asked you in that fucking interview: where do you buy coke in Dubai?—Louis’s voice trails off, his words maybe lacking some of the bite.
or
Lestat misunderstands what Daniel is to Louis and tries to be a champ about it. Meanwhile Louis rediscovers his drug of choice—Lestat.

Summary
Rockstar Eddie Munson needs a fake boyfriend after a scandal; enter high end escort Steve Harrington. Unfortunately Eddie's heart didn't get the memo on the 'fake' part of the deal, while the more time he spends with Steve the deeper he falls, the closer he gets to something that looks a whole lot darker than a college student just trying to pay off his student loans.
“For you, your highness.” Eddie bent at the waist as he offered the cheap stuffed animal.
Steve’s eyes went wide, but he accepted the little stuffed animal, holding it up for inspection. Some of the stitches were visible and his eyes were lopsided, but it didn’t change the way Eddie’s heart stuttered as Steve very gently touched its nose against his own, holding it like it were an actual small creature and not cotton and thread.
“What’s his name?”
“Bernard,” Steve said with such confidence that Eddie couldn’t help laughing.
“What?” Steve said, looking mildly affronted.
Eddie grinned. “No, it’s a great name, Bernard the Bat. Berry for short even.”
Steve crossed his arms, but with the stuffed animal it looked more like he was hugging it to his chest.
“Slushies?” Eddie said before he could do anything stupid.

Summary
“Still not graduated, Harrington?”
It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
“I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.Series

Summary
'Perhaps Steve was ill. There was no reason for this sort of fuss – he hardly knew the guy, and Eddie hadn’t exactly been the most forthcoming when he had visited him in the hospital. He had quipped, sure, pain-hazed and slurring, had smirked and winked and thrust his arms about, but he hadn’t really talked. He’d deflected – classic, really – and Steve hadn’t meddled, hadn’t done anything about the sleepless bruises under his eyes or paper-thinness of his skin, or the way he had sat in his hospital bed coiled, ready to jump and run.
Because Steve didn’t know Eddie. And Eddie didn’t know Steve. Which was why he was surprised when, on a quiet, drizzly Tuesday morning at The Enigma Pig, the walkie-talkie on his hip crackled to life.'
(In a moment of need, Eddie radios Steve for help.)

Summary
Eddie looked good. He looked handsome and comfortable; soft-jumpered, thick-socked, loose-jeaned. His hair and skin looked clean. He looked healthy, like he was eating well. He looked rested. Like someone who had their shit together. There was an incense-like smell, and a coffee smell, and something soapy- fabric softener or shampoo. He wasn’t looking at Steve, was looking at the space just past him.
Steve perched on the arm of the couch, facing him. He figured he looked uncomfortable and stupid and strung out. He pulled a thing of spearmint gum out of his pocket and put a piece into his mouth then held the packet in front of him automatically, offering. A little flicker of emotion crossed Eddie’s face- amused, annoyed, Steve couldn’t tell which one was prevailing- and then he rolled his eyes and stepped away from the serving hatch, stood close enough to wordlessly hold out his palm. It took Steve a second to push out a piece into his hand.
“Thanks,” Eddie said.

Summary
“Eddie, look at me.” It was the tiniest reaction that gave it away. The most infimal hesitations of all, and Steve knew something was wrong. “Eds. Look at me.”
His friend sighed and he begrudgingly turned towards him, face low. Steve took three steps forward until he was right in front of Eddie. He moved his hands to hold Eddie’s face but stopped mid way when he flinched.
Steve froze and then he gently held Eddie by his chin, raising his face slowly. He sucked in a breath when he saw the cut going down his eyebrow, over to his cheek, and his lip cut open and slit down.
“Who did this to you?”
“Steve—“
“Who—“ he repeated, harshly. There was a restrained rage simmering in his gut, coming out just a fraction through his tone. “did this to you, Eddie?”

Summary
"Okay," Eddie says at last, voice betraying his cool demeanor. "I'll go first." He clears his throat, folds his hands politely in his lap. "I have never been more confused in my life than when I'm with you. And I've taken trig three times and I'm still not a hundred percent on what a hypotenuse is, so, like, it's not difficult to confuse me or anything. But you really take the cake, man."
Steve chews on his lip. "Sorry? I'm... confused too."
