Summary
Behind them, tires ease into the gravel on the edge of the road. Steve doesn’t bother looking. A car door slams, and then Munson says, “I don’t need you to stand up for me, Harrington.”
Steve still doesn’t look at him. He swears he sees shadows moving in the thick brush, and he shivers a little. He says, “What, with Byers? He’s just scared for his brother.”
“Yeah, I know that, dickweed.”
“Wow,” Robin says, voice low. “You were into that?”
Steve tilts his head, finally looks past where Robin is standing to see Munson, hair pulled back in a messy bun, denim vest shrugged on over the leather, ripped jeans baggy in all the wrong places, face flushed and scowling. “Unfortunately,” he says.
The package is a little different, but Steve knows deep down he’s the same protective, loyal, judgmental asshole he’s always been. It’s just, once upon a time, Steve was on the beneficial side of his personality disorder.
Or-
A modern season one AU with Robin and Eddie.

Summary
Once upon a time, the king and queen of a faraway kingdom struck a bargain with a witch in order to gain the child and heir they coveted. But the bargain came with a price: their child would never truly be loved by another, unless they could be seen and accepted as they are. Prince Stephen, though gifted in ways other than book-smarts, was not the child his parents wanted. Unable to see past their own expectations for him, the prince grew up unloved. The kingdom considers him only an idiotic pleasure-seeker, one who cannot hold a candle to his brilliant parents. In order to find a worthy inheritor to their throne, the monarchs announce a contest for the prince’s hand. Three tasks shall be asked of those who enter: one of intelligence, one of strength, and one of bravery.
Eddie, a bard living with his day-laborer uncle, is blind to his magical heritage. He has little time for the comings and goings of the secretive nobility, who cloak their bodies in robes and hide their faces behind masks. A chance encounter with the prince causes Eddie to discover he is not at all the vapid fool everyone takes him for. The contest will provide a chance for both of them to change their futures.

Summary
They’re down three members, because Doug and Ronnie graduated, and Frank’s been noncommittal since managing to drag himself out of bed, so it’s not like Eddie can tell Robin to get lost.
It’s not like he wants to, either, which is a thing, because Robin hates metal, but is apparently some kind of music savant. She moans about callouses and her fingers bleeding, but the fucking voice on her, Christ. It only takes her to mid-September to learn a good chunk of their set list. Jeff looks at her like she’s hung the moon. She keeps trying to convince them to learn “Our Lips Are Sealed.” She refuses to join Hellfire. She’s always late to practice because of marching band, and some time in the beginning of October Steve Harrington drops her off.
Or –
In the fall of 1984, Robin joins Corroded Coffin, and Eddie gets more than he bargained for.
Or –
A season 2 AU with Robin and Eddie.

Summary
Steve peels into the parking lot at Starcourt, already five minutes late. All the good spots near the entrance are gone and she has to park further out and jog and dodge around the crowds, shoving through them to rush down the escalator and across the food court.
There’s no line at Scoops Ahoy, but that doesn’t stop Robin saying: “Oh, nice of you to finally join us,” with a roll of her eyes as Steve disappears into the back to shove her stuff into the locker and arrange the stupid fucking hat on her head, viciously sliding the bobby pins into place

Summary
The image of that thing, that bullshit alien-looking monster, was branded into her mind. The way its face peeled back, all mangled and toothy, a dark, rotting maw flashing beneath flickering Christmas lights. The wild pounding of her heart, the smell of gunsmoke and gasoline, Jonathan’s hand encircling her wrist and dragging her urgently down the hall, Nathan’s wide eyes. Worse, the mildewy smell of its decaying skin and hot breath. The otherworldly roar of fury that tore out of it when she landed a hit. The grim-faced government agents at the hospital afterwards, with their guns and their threats and their fucking NDAs.
Now, her heart dropped into her stomach at every oddly shaped tree limb that loomed into view as she drove. Her pulse was still racing. She kept checking over her shoulder for somebody, or something, hiding in wait in the back seat even though she knew nobody was there.

Summary
Steve never planned to spend so much time at the local bowling alley. Then again, he never planned on Eddie Munson—the carefree, magnetic, and irresistibly charming employee there—getting under his skin, either. The more Steve fixates on him, the more it feels like he's losing control—his obsession with Eddie slowly unraveling everything Steve thought he knew about himself.

Steve and Robin are way too close of friends. So it's only natural they send each other nudes to make sure they look good.

He’s taken from his backyard, in broad daylight. No one sees it happen, no one can find any trace of where he went. One day he was there, the next he wasn’t.
Hawkins lab wasn’t a place for kids to live happy lives, Steve learned that first hand.
But, in his time at Hawkins lab, he meets a boy in his dreams. Not every night, but most of them.
When The Upside down invades Hawkins, Steve will do anything to stop it from hurting the people that he loves.
Anything.

Summary
Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”
“Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”
Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.
“Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”
In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.

Summary
Its normal for Eddie to stalk the social media pages of Steve Harrington's band, he does it often. He's not a fan. It's also normal for him to leave drunkenly horny comments on videos where Steve looks particularly attractive.
What isn't normal, is when he gets a reply from the official account of Steve Harrington on said horny comment. This is going to get out of hand very quickly.

Summary
Steve is afraid of big things, vast things, things that stretch on for miles and don’t seem to have any end. Eddie hates the heat. There’s probably more than one way to have kids. Eddie should look into that.

Summary
“There was a fire. At the mall. I worked there? At Scoops Ahoy.”
The way he says the last part sounds strange, like it’s really important somehow that Eddie believes him.
“Okay,” he says, then adds, “Is that why you look like that?”
Eddie’s never met a fire with fists, but he wants Steve to tell him what happened—not just assume.
There’s a beat of silence, like Steve’s weighing his options, and Eddie knows a lie’s coming before Steve even opens his mouth.
“Yeah. Building caved in. We made it out—Robin and I. Paramedics checked me over and said I couldn’t drive, so I decided to walk.”
Almost ten miles, Eddie estimates. Sure. Totally normal thing to do in the middle of the night, battered and bruised, after escaping a fire.
But he’s pretty sure that’s all he’s going to get, so he settles on, “Good thing I came along, then.”
“Yeah.”
-------------------------------------------
Eddie doesn’t expect to find Steve Harrington half-dead on a dark road in the middle of the night — or to be the one he clings to after.

inspired (as i so often am) by morganbritton132 on tumblr specifically this post
Carol gives up the illusion of browsing, walking up to the counter empty-handed.
“What are your intentions?” She’s imperious, hand on the counter and fingers sprawled wide. Tommy emerges from the back aisle like a dog called to heel, arms crossed in front of his chest, frowning in that squinty way he gets.
“Probably to remind you we have the right to refuse service to anyone and that loitering is a crime.”
“With Steve,” Tommy grits out.

Summary
The lights go out. Steve keeps his eyes fixed just left of the thing, can just barely make out a shoulder and sort-of head in the light of the moon, and tries to swallow back the sickening feeling of being hunted. He wants to run for his house but he can’t. He can’t, because if he takes his eyes off the thing for even a second, he won’t know where it is, and that’s scarier than seeing it.
But then- then Steve’s vision blurs for just a moment too long, and when he blinks away the tears and looks, it’s gone.
Steve lunges for the house doors. When the patio lights flicker back on, the poolside is empty, and Steve Harrington is missing. No one notices.
Or: Steve Harrington gets dragged into the Upside Down instead of Barb Holland. Someone else comes out.Series
