Summary
“Look, I’m just asking, okay? Not– I don't mean anything by it. But, uh.” His eyes darted back and forth, then he leaned in close to Steve. Steve had gotten used to that, kind of. The guy had no concept of personal space. “Are you flagging?” Eddie finally finished.
Steve shook his head slowly, eyes narrowed. He had no idea what that meant. He had no answer. “What?”
Eddie leaned away from Steve, facing forward again and nodding. “Okay, got it. That answers my question. Carry on.”
-------------------------------------------------
A (mostly) innocent question leads Steve Harrington on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, sex, and romance.

Summary
Steve couldn’t look for too long. He wasn’t sure he’d be able to keep moving if he let himself.
“We can’t let him die here, Nance.” Steve pled, “He can’t- he doesn’t deserve to go like this.”

Summary
Eddie survived the Upside Down, but is still a murder suspect. He needs to heal and come to terms with his survival.
Who is the best person to help him with that? Steve Harrington, of course.
*
“So, you’re looking after me for something to do?” Eddie soured. He shouldn’t have asked. It was too much to ask for Steve to actually-
“I’m looking after you because I care about you.” Steve interrupted his train of thought, borderline yelling. Eddie stared at him with wide eyes, “Is that so hard to believe? That I actually like you, Eddie? That I want you to be okay, and I want to be the one to make sure that you are?”

Summary
After everything that happened during Spring Break, life for everyone in Hawkins returned to somewhat normal. Well, aside from Steve's new friendship with one Eddie Munson.
The gang decide they all deserve a break and head to Steve's family beach house for a week, featuring copious amounts of fluff, found family bonding, blurring (or completely ignoring) the line between platonic and romantic, and bullying being considered flirting.

Summary
Eddie won't stop touching anyone and everyone, except for Steve. He has a plan to change that.
*
“You can touch me.” That was not how Steve intended for it to come out. He opened his mouth and closed it a few times.
Eddie had frozen with his fingers halfway to his mouth. Smoke curled from his cigarette between them. He raised his eyebrows, then frowned, then bit his lip.
“I can-” Eddie said slowly, his face still rolling through several emotions without landing on one- “touch you?”

Summary
“Yeah, great job, Henderson,” Steve says. “Risk your life for the ticking time bomb. I don’t foresee a way this can go wrong at all.”
“Uh, no man left behind,” Dustin argues, which would be kinda sweet, except, “even the ones with a hundred murder charges.”
“Thanks, dude,” Eddie says to him, anyway. In his peripheral, Steve rolls his eyes.
or, Eddie escapes the Upside Down. Problem is, he’s still wanted for—well. Pretty much everything. So he hides out in Steve's basement.

Summary
Under a much different circumstance, Eddie would have loved to have Steve’s eyes looking over him like that, would love to have that determination focused on him, but Eddie is very much dying, he knows it, so he smiles at Steve’s misplaced confidence instead, “High expectations, Stevie. Where’d you learn to swing like that anyway?”
“I’ll tell you,” Steve’s voice is a bit shaky, his tone wavering, even as he puts on a brave face, “but you have to stay alive, Munson.”
If he had more strength, he’d consider testing his luck one last time, tease Steve by asking if he swings for Eddie’s team, but- he’s tired.
Dying young. What a fucking nightmare.
Or, what if the Party defeats Vecna in time, and Eddie lives?

Debriefed by goldenambedo

Summary
Marc didn't think he'd ever get used to mission debriefs. At least not the way the Avengers did them.
His usual style was to repress whatever he'd had to do during a mission and retreat into the headspace as soon as he was safe to do so. Steven or Jake could deal with the body for a few days until Marc's emotions and the rest of him became realigned. You know, healthy healthy stuff. Nothing to be changed to make his post-mission routine any better.
The Avengers' style, however, was very different.

The Library of Engineering, Mathematics, and Sciences by Eddies_ArtofSuffering
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
02 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Steve and Robin move out of Hawkins and go to college after the Starcourt Mall incident. For the next three quiet years, Steve and Robin work at the main library - but to Steve’s utter disappointment, they get separated when Steve gets assigned to the newest branch of the school library, built inside the School of Engineering, Mathematics, and Sciences. It’s obviously subpar without Robin by his side, but the range of students that come in isn’t all that much different than the main library, and it’s still the same old boring job for Steve. Until, one day, Eddie Munson comes in.
Or, Steddie college AU that no one asked for.
Part I (Chs.1-8, 23K words) can be read as a standalone, chronicling their lives in the second half of 1989. Part II (Chs.9-20, 62K words) spans the entire year of 1990.
Now with a side story that takes place between ch.18 and 19!

Summary
Eddie Munson has powers, a lot of questions, and chunks of memory missing. He doesn't ask why. He tries not to. Sometimes he can't help himself but ask.
Or, a story of a king and a freak, jocks and nerds, and monsters and slayers.
