    Summary


    Steve takes a deep breath and picks up the receiver, “Hello?”

    The kitchen lights flicker once, so quickly that he convinces himself that he imagined it, and then there’s a crackling, a kind of static-y hiss against his ear, and the rasp of a voice, “Hey, I need, uh, police?”

    There’s something familiar about the voice, something twitching at the back of his mind, the tip of his tongue, but Steve can’t quite place it.

    “Hello? Anyone there? Please?” it comes again, laced with so much desperation that it has the back of Steve’s neck prickling uncomfortably, “I need- shit, I need help.”

    AKA Billy is trapped in the Upside Down and somehow manages to call Steve's house.

    Summary

    The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.

    Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.

    Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.

    Summary

    “You’re not allowed to be in here.”

    The stranger’s eyes are dark, but the flickering light of the oil sconce on the wall catches in their depths and there’s a wickedness there that immediately makes Steve freeze up. In a split second, the man steps back and slips a slender hand into his coat, withdrawing a gleaming brass-colored pistol. “I know,” he says, and Steve’s not sure how someone can sound so fucking casual when they're holding a gun and pointing it at his forehead, holy shit. “You might want to step back, man. Wouldn’t want to waste a bullet blowing off a face as pretty as yours.”

    (Or: Steve Harrington is given a second chance at life when he's kidnapped and held for ransom at the mercy of a roguish young pirate—one that he might be falling a little bit in love with.)

    Summary

    “Eddie’s Top Secret Plots’ was scribbled onto the cover, along with a doodle of a cannon firing off a shot. Ah, so Eddie must have been planning out the strategy for his next session with the Party.

    The temptation to snoop was sure tempting. If he knew what the Dragon-Master was gonna throw at them, he could totally psych Dustin out. It’s not like Eddie would be mad for the free mind-games. Yeah, he loved fucking with his players all the time, wouldn’t be a problem.

    If the notes were all boring math calculations, Steve would just keep his mouth shut and wait until next week for Eddie to take those numbers and turn them into story-telling magic. And maybe some accents too, he loved it when Eddie broke out into an over the top British accent.

    And so, Steve opened to the bookmarked page, completely unprepared for what he’d come face to face with.

    or,

    Eddie writes the world's worst erotica about characters who are just poorly disguised versions of himself and Steve. One day, Steve finds out exactly what's been going on inside the mind of his roommate all these years.
