Summary
Steve’s still figuring Eddie out. Like how he'll wheedle and give Steve shit for an offhand remark or tone of voice. It’s not like Tommy, where there was always something darker looming behind his cocked brow or narrowed eyes. The wrong kind of look meant tipping the scales towards an inevitable violence.
With Eddie the wrong look will get cigarette smoke blown in Steve’s face. The wrong words will get teased and playfully flipped back in a way that makes it feel like Eddie’s gently humbling him. Like each time Steve’s face goes warm with embarrassment it’s another strike to the long-dead King Steve. It’s mostly harmless. It’s intriguing. It’s the type of game Steve wants to understand so he can play it back.
Or, a totally unoriginal post-s4 summer fix-it fic where Steve questions what he’s scared of, what he wants, and where Eddie Munson fits.
Plus—how did Eddie learn how to braid hair?

Summary
Steve usually marks other chefs as off limits. Too much baggage, too much drama, but this guy? They’re not even in the same culinary orbit. Would it really be so bad to hook up with a shelter kitchen line cook who looks like trouble incarnate?
He could probably swing that. Right?
The guy purses his infuriatingly perfect lips and blows a lazy stream of cigarette smoke directly into Steve’s face.
“You’re late.”
Well. That’s fucking rude.

Summary
Steve needs a date to his ex's holiday wedding, and Eddie agrees to go if they can be "the worst dates possible for each other" while still being convincing as a (fake) couple. Shenanigans ensue with holiday fluff, mistletoe, smut, and the classic fake-dating miscommunication.

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.

Summary
“Don’t have a coronary, Harrington. I think I can handle standing in place and rotating at a negative speed all on my own.”
Steve tilts his head, assessing him in a way that Eddie wants to memorize, maybe chisel its likeness into stone and construct a new Parthenon to house it.
“Take off your shirt.”
Eddie’s heart flips. “What?” he asks, mouth dry.
“Think you can handle it by yourself, 'big boy'?” Heat floods Eddie’s face at the callback. “So prove it. Take off your shirt.”
---------------------------
Eddie hadn't planned on living. He wouldn't have thrown himself into the mouths the beasts if he'd thought he would have to suffer through the consequences. But he did and he does. Now, he's holed up in the (un)dead police chief's secluded cabin with none other than the former King of Hawkins as his handler. Maybe the bats were the easy part, it's Steve Harrington he has to survive.

Summary
Clark struggles with something his Ma might call jealousy after walking in on Bruce and Hal together after a mission. Instead of letting Clark's feelings ruin the Justice League's hard-won team cohesion, Bruce suggests an alternative arrangement: sleep together once, work the tension between them out of their systems, and then go back to normal afterward.
The problem with that plan? It's not just casual, and neither of them can ever go back to normal once it's all said and done.

Summary
“Eddie? What date is it?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know how long I’ve been out. March… 30? April 1st? Oh. Oh is it… is it April Fools? Cause it’s a shitty joke, Mayfield.”
“What year is it Eddie?”
He smiles at that, chuckles at the irony even though Max looks more and more upset, “It’s 1986, baby, my year.”*~*~*~*
The year is 2003 and Eddie Munson has missed a couple of things.

Summary
June 1986
Steve is lonely.He’s always been lonely, honestly. An empty house, absent parents, friends that didn’t really know him. Frankly, he probably doesn’t really know himself, either. It used to be easier to ignore—between sports and parties and searching for the next girl to hang around with.
Then Nancy Wheeler told him he was bullshit. In the wreckage of the storm, he realized she probably hadn’t been that off base to call his life bullshit.
[Life in Hawkins, Indiana is boring, ordinary, no supernatural entities. Steve still changes.
Luckily, he still makes some new friends, too. Certain people are simply meant to be in the same story.]

Summary
Steve won’t ever be kept and cared for in the way he craves. He won’t ever be held like he’s something small and precious and breakable. He won’t ever be treated softly by virtue of his designation.
He won’t ever have kids in the way that he so desperately wants to.
He won’t ever be an omega.
And if he stays a beta, he can’t be Eddie’s true mate, either. He can’t be his mate at all: the bite won’t stick. The scar won’t manifest and neither will the bond. Their body chemistry won’t allow it. Any attempt at a claim will slide off of his skin like droplets of water and heal right up.
Genetically and physiologically incompatible.
𓆩⟡𓆪
In a world where alpha and omega presentations are triggered by the stress of traumatic events, Eddie Munson presents as an alpha the minute he’s dragged out of the Upside Down and into Hawkins Memorial Hospital.
Steve Harrington has been a beta his whole life.

Summary
Steve looks up at the sky and sees stars. Eddie looks up at the sky and sees alien spaceships. It’s going to start with a graveyard shift, a midnight radio hour, and Dustin Henderson. It’s going to end on New Year’s Eve, 1985—one way or another.
