Summary
The people of Hawkins were still alive, folding donated t-shirts into neat piles in the middle school gym, and passing out boxes of canned food to families in need, and smiling to each other as they said, hanging in there? Good, me too!
But then the ground fell and the fires started.
And then the Hawkins citizenry abandoned ship like they were time travelers aboard the goddamn Titanic.
And then the Hellfire Club and associated extended party members commandeered Loch Nora and turned it into a safe zone for the miniscule remaining population of Hawkins.
And then the dead people started showing back up.
Or: Eddie’s in love with Steve, but it doesn’t really matter because the world ended a few months ago and he’s been living on borrowed time ever since. Steve’s in love with Eddie, but he’s been through this before with a wild-eyed, steady-handed survivor who was better off without him, and doing it again might be enough to kill him this time.
Or or: The Party are vampire hunters in post-apocalyptic Hawkins, in a world where soulmates can't harm each other.

"highway’s jammed with broken heroes" by alivingfire
Steddie fic post season 4 (but Eddie lives) but Hawkins is apocalyptic. Nearly incidental soulmate fic, with zombie/vampires, and the Party's families more involved. Funny and sweet but with plenty of earned horror-tension and angst. Trauma-bonds and visible coping abound.

Summary
“What the fuck just happened there?”
“I could ask you the same thing, Harrington,” Eddie hisses, jabs a finger into Steve’s chest. “Did you honestly bring me along as your plus one? To a date? With a guy who really thinks the Sex Pistols were on to something?”
“What,” a date? Plus one? Steve doesn’t even know where to start. “What is a sex pistol?”
“What,” Eddie says, parroting Steve’s confused tone back at him in a way that sounds unfairly boneheaded, “am I doing here,
Steve?”

"Up the Punks" by sparklyslug
Smitten Steve fails to recognize some musical genre nuances and Eddie is bitchy about it and some other things. Funny and the 'aha' moment is adorable and hot.

"#Ragnarok" by natcat5
Impeccable, hilarious crackfic about the Bats being forced to reveal their identities. To the entire world. In a gladiatorish televised gameshow run by aliens.
Told via broadcast announcers and private communications among superheroes, but mainly through reactions of people on the internet. -

Summary
He actually wants to watch the Fellowship of the Ring, has actually been waiting for this for uhhhh, what, like, twenty years of his life? Problem is, there’s another thing he’s been waiting for for almost as long, and it’s sitting right next to Eddie, making little soft impressed noises at Gandalf’s fireworks, flashing quick smiles his way when he offers him the tub of greasy popcorn.
He's not going to be able to remember any of the movie, he’ll just remember this: the white-hot screaming bliss of sitting next to the love of his fucking life, and not knowing if it’s cool to try and hold his hand or not.

"if you want him, come and claim him" by materialism and sparklyslug
The requiting of a decade-plus long pining situation, wherein Steve and Eddie did not have their shit together (see: a bunch of the rest of this non-linear series) -- but now they do!

Summary
After everything is over with Vecna, Eddie Munson notices the experience left him with an unexpected mark. A soulmate tattoo. Something about the experience had changed him enough that he now has a perfect match. And well, whoever the universe decided was best represented by a baseball bat filled with nails was probably a good guy to have around in a world where the things that go bump in the night turn out to be real.
*Now with an epilogue*

"The World's Most Metal Soulmate Tattoo" by A_Pirates_Love_For_Me
A soulmate-soulmark Steddie fic where Eddie tries to get over his crush on Stve so he can dedicate himself to finding his definitely-not-Steve soulmate. XD
Cute, with misapprehension & miscommunication tropes done well.
