Summary
Steve was provided with another best friend. Once known as the town freak, now a falsely convicted serial killer with a swiped squeaky clean record so kindly provided by their hack of a government, sitting in his passenger seat and in the process of embroidering a new patch from scratch, posture worse than a bendy straw. Eddie Munson accidentally pokes his finger with a sewing needle for what seems to be the fourth time during their drive to Hawkins High.

Summary
It’s 1996.
Ten years have passed and everything has changed.
And for everyone Steve loves, it’s been for the better: Robin is elatedly working her ass off in the city, Dustin is across the country working a computer job that Steve only pretends to understand, Max and Lucas are a picture of domestic bliss off in Michigan, and Eddie is a bona fide fucking rock star.
Everyone has everything they’ve always wanted.
But Steve? Well, Steve’s working an office job that he hates, all of his friends are woefully out of reach, his marriage has reached its breaking point—and he hasn’t got the damnedest clue who he is anymore.
Just before he can truly capitulate to all he’ll never be, a call from Robin forces a reunion with his on-top-of-the-world former friend, Eddie Munson. And during one fateful week that follows, Steve is finally able to answer every question he’s ever had about himself.
For better and for worse.OR: it's 1996. Eddie's a rockstar. Steve's getting a divorce. Steve is taking it super well.

Summary
When Eddie comes out as gay, he assures Steve that he doesn’t find him hot. Steve tells him it’s fine, he even teasingly asks what he should do to change that. It becomes a thing. A way to always make Eddie laugh, blush and relax around him—but as the days and weeks pass, Steve begins to realise that maybe there’s another reason why he cares so much that Eddie Munson finds him pretty.

Being dead isn’t like Eddie thought it would be.
For starters, he’s a lot more alive than he expected.
or, the ghost of Eddie Munson’s still hanging around, and he’d really appreciate if someone could notice him, thanks

Summary
The day before Eddie had to leave to go home again, Steve cried.
It was a secret that Steve kept close to his heart, that he knew Eddie Munson, that he'd known him long before Vecna, or the Upside Down, or even Nancy Wheeler.
To him, Eddie would always be summer sunshine and ice-cream melting down his hand and sweet laughter in the shade of the woods.
It was just a shame that Eddie seemed so determined to forget.

Summary
"What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”
OR
Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.
(But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

Summary
“Alright, listen. You want to romance Max? It’s easier said than done.” When Lucas’s face falls, Steve is quick to tack on, “But it is doable. There are steps. Six of them.” He spreads his hands theatrically, bending a little at the waist as if setting the scene.
or: Lucas needs love advice, Dustin & Robin despair, and Steve's a regular Casanova.

Summary
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

Summary
Steve is in the pediatric ward. Again. He's broken another bone, and is just hoping the doctors will bind it fast enough for him to get back to the game.
In walks a boy. He's cocky and loud and there isn't anything wrong with him, as far as Steve can tell, other than he looks like he hasn't showered in days. Steve immediately hates him. Eddie Munson, the nurse says. And then, almost too quiet: he'll be dead in a month.
Eddie has a bucket list. Steve helps.

Summary
Steve doesn’t even need to read the flyer that Robin shoves into his face first thing on a Friday morning to know that whatever is written on it can’t be good. He does let his eyes skim over it for a second though, because Robin is practically buzzing with excitement and he knows that if he doesn’t humour her, she’ll be pestering him about it for the rest of the day.
Sunnyside Diner Speed Dating, reads the flyer. The words are printed in large, bold letters, complete with hearts instead of dots over the ‘i’s. Steve resists the urge to gag.
Or; How it takes a bet, a healthy amount of flirting, and Steve Harrington's fantastic eavesdropping skills for him and Eddie Munson to finally get together.

Summary
Later, he’ll wonder why he even bothers to talk to the bat. It’s not as if it can understand him. But it’s comforting, he thinks, to hear someone assuring you that everything will be okay even when you’re moments away from death. Sometimes, hope is the only difference between holding on and letting go.
And the bat? It holds on.
After the ground opens up and Vecna disappears, the last thing that Steve Harrington needs is an injured bat on his doorstep. Apparently, that won't stop him from doing everything in his power to keep it alive. And if the bat reminds him of a certain someone, then that's just his mind playing tricks on him... right?

Summary
No one has caught Steve Harrington’s eye in a while, and he’s not going to go looking. And with his tendency to get involved with interdimensional bullshit and the gaggle of teenagers that follows him around, it’s probably for the best. He quickly learns that the universe has other plans for him, and they come in the shape of a goofy, guitar-wielding nerd.
In which Steve is just trying to live his life but Eddie is essentially hitting him over the head with a very flirtatious hammer.

Summary
Eddie Munson has his finger on the self destruct button. He doesn't know how to stop, and doesn't care enough to try. After Steve finds him under Andy's fist with a laugh bouncing off his tongue, he does everything he can to bring him back from the ledge.
He isn't the only one that wants to show Eddie that his life is worth fighting for.
*
Eddie stared at the cream tile on the shower wall, “Must’ve followed me from my deal. Pulled me into the alley.”
Steve hummed. He moved the alcohol soaked cotton to Eddie’s lip. A breath pushed from behind his teeth. He closed his eyes against the sharp pain.
“Do I look like I’m buying that?”
Eddie looked at him. Steve moved his eyes from Eddie’s lip, his thumb brushing over it slightly as he continued cleaning. There was a knowing glint. He raised one eyebrow.
Just like that, Eddie realised how close they were standing. Steve had situated himself against the outside of Eddie’s legs, his belt buckle pressed against his thigh and one hand braced on the counter by Eddie’s hip. The proximity made him short of breath. He blamed it on the discomfort, not the brush of Steve’s skin against his bottom lip.

The van is running, Steve realizes, and Eddie wouldn’t start it if he was just coming out to smoke. It sobers him up almost immediately. “You leaving?”
Eddie gives him a smile, sad around the edges where it reaches his eyes, says, “Yeah,” and Steve knows he doesn’t just mean for tonight.

Summary
“Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper.
“I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”
(Steve knows Eddie’s alive. Wayne’s the only one who believes him. So they team up to save him.)- Language:

Summary
Dustin sucks in a sharp breath, claps his hands together in his lap, and says as straightforwardly as possible, “I’m going back in time.”
Steve doesn’t say anything. His mouth opens and closes like a goldfish. Then, he says, “What, like, right now?”
Dustin wakes up in Max’s trailer the day of Eddie’s death. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times? Three times is a pattern.
Or: Dustin Henderson is unstuck in time.
