    Summary

    “You keep telling yourself that, Eds."

    “Eds?”

    “Cute, isn’t it?”

    Eddie’s breath stops and his chest tightens. He’s never had a friend give him a nickname before. It is cute, which is not cool to say, so of course, Eddie spits out, “No.”

    Steve smiles and leans forward right into Eddie’s ear. He whispers, “You’ll get used to it.”

    or: it's summer 1981 and wayne munson has sent a fourteen-year-old eddie to camp in hopes that he can exist like a regular kid for once. eddie meets steve harrington on the bus and the two start an unlikely friendship. hawkins high doesn't know how to deal with that. a supercut into eddie's high school years and how steve continues to orbit him whether he wants him to or not.

    Summary

    "The first time, Steve can’t identify the sound, but the second time, he knows it’s coming from some sort of animal. He looks up and down the street, but he turns up empty—he’s the only living thing as far as his eye can see. The animal whimpers again, and for some reason, Steve looks down at his feet this time.

    And… there it is! It’s a dog—caught in the storm drain and having an understandably miserable time."

    Or: In the year 1990, Steve Harrington rescues a dog, has a breakdown in the grocery store, reunites with some old friends, and falls in love. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Eddie told himself that he was done, because he wouldn’t survive another heartbreak at that boy’s hands. But he really, really needs someone to open for them on tour. Steve Harrington had waltzed into his life, sucked him in like a siren and fucking eviscerated him with soft touches. And maybe it wasn’t his fault, but Eddie would never forgive him all the same. He’d nursed his Harrington hangover for years, and he’s not about to hand over his sobriety chip just because the guy's got a busted foot and a very apparent issue with alcohol. Not when it had taken work to get Steve out of his system the first time.

    Steve thinks of long summer evenings beating the heat in his pool, of the stick-and-poke tattoo he’s got on his ankle and chicken scratch handwriting on legal paper. He’s getting caught in the slipstream of his own shattered expectations, and it’s dangerous to cling when the branch is failing, but he thinks he can’t help it. He has a fist full of letters by the time he arrives in Los Angeles, but the Eddie Munson he knew is nowhere to be found. Left to make sense of this new version of the friend he once bared his soul to, Steve’s just trying not to fall off the fucking deep end again.
