Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
“You’re telling me Eddie’s uncle was macking on my mom?”
“All I said was there was a spark.”
Dustin looks at him like he’s the most loathsome creature to ever crawl out of the Upside Down.
Steve elaborates, “Y’know? A spark; fireworks; chemistry.”
Childishly, Dustin plugs his ears with his fingers and chants, “Lalalalalalalala."
Or, the summer after the world almost ends, Steve becomes an accidental matchmaker.

Summary
Robin gives Steve a long, considering look. Finally, she says, “You know, you’re really fucking weird, right? I mean. Like,” she waves a hand, “I wish I knew this when you were in school, Harrington. You’re just really fucking weird.”
“Thanks?”
Robin squeezes his shoulder and says, “I appreciate that you think that’s a compliment.”
Or-
In the summer of ’85, Steve works at Scoops Ahoy, fights some Russians, and makes some new friends.
Or-
Steve Harrington makes a mixtape.

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.
