Summary
Simon glares viciously at the poor excuse of a knot. It’s not the boot’s fault, he knows that. He’s glaring because he has no other option than the one currently at his disposal, and it’s an option he despises with every piece of his wretched heart. But the sun is climbing higher and he needs to get outside to check on the garden. He grits his teeth and forces the words out.
“Can you…help me with something?”

Or, 5 times Simon needs some help, +1 time Grace needs some help.

Summary
"What about you, Ed?" Lloyd asks, wiping mustard and vinegar from his mustache with a crumpled up wad of napkin. "Got yourself a girlfriend?"
He looks over at his newest hire, seated in the chair to his left, cheeks all puffed out around a mouthful of the best meatball hero in Boston, and arches his eyebrows expectantly.
"Something like that," Ed confirms, though it comes out muffled, half the consonants stripped away by ground beef and mozzarella and a sourdough roll so good it'll make you slap your mother.

Or, five times Eddie's boss thinks his partner "Stevie" is a woman, and one time he learns the truth.

Summary
“You need to go.” Steve says, pushing Eddie away with a bloody hand. It’s not much of a shove, leaves a bloody handprint on the grey fabric of Eddie’s t-shirt.
“You keep saying that, Ozzy and I’m gonna start thinking you don’t want me around."
[Or: Steve gets hurt on a supply run. Eddie tries, and fails, and tries again to keep things together.]

„Eddie, we’re gonna get you to a hospital, okay? We’re gonna get you help, just stay with us."
„Fuck, fuck, fuck, shit, Steve, careful!“
Steve’s head was spinning. They were almost at the trailer. His wrists were aching, his muscles threatening to give out.Or: i rewatched season 4 and was so upset at the ending i wrote my own.
They save Eddie – but not with Steve heroically carrying him out bridal-style. A little more complicated than that.Bookmarked by Maybe_Milo

Summary
“I love you,” Steve says, just as Robin gets halfway out the car.
It’s not what he says, exactly, she thinks, but the way he says it. Or maybe it’s because the last time she heard him say those words, they sounded like they’d been punched out of him back then, too: at Starcourt, his mouth twisting—so ready to laugh at himself—while sirens lit up his face, red and blue.
Robin thinks, just as she did then, you’re hurting.

Summary
Steve hadn’t meant for Eddie Munson to stay this long.
It was supposed to be a temporary thing — a guest room, a spare toothbrush, a warm bed while Eddie figured things out. But then one night turned into seven weeks, and somehow Steve found himself rearranging his grocery list around Eddie’s weird cravings and memorizing the sound of his laugh in every room.
He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him.
But Eddie had a way of slipping past all the defenses Steve didn’t even know he still had. And Steve… well, he was good at keeping things running. Bad at talking about his feelings. Worse at admitting he wanted more.
Just a few nights. That’s how it started.
But Steve had never been good at letting go of the people he cared about.- Language:

Summary
Eddie Munson is a fucking liar.
He doesn’t enjoy it or anything… well, that itself is a lie. Sort of. It depends on the reason he lies, if he enjoys it or feels guilty. If he’s lying in the face of bullies to get them off his ass, or to mock them, or trick them? Hell yeah, he enjoys it.
Lying to be near a cute boy who has no damn idea he exists?
Eddie feels like a dirty fuckin’ sinner.
or: Eddie can't swim, can't eat ice cream, and he doesn't have a VCR. Face it, he's never gonna make it. He lies about all three of those things to get close to Steve Harrington.

Summary
“There was a fire. At the mall. I worked there? At Scoops Ahoy.”
The way he says the last part sounds strange, like it’s really important somehow that Eddie believes him.
“Okay,” he says, then adds, “Is that why you look like that?”
Eddie’s never met a fire with fists, but he wants Steve to tell him what happened—not just assume.
There’s a beat of silence, like Steve’s weighing his options, and Eddie knows a lie’s coming before Steve even opens his mouth.
“Yeah. Building caved in. We made it out—Robin and I. Paramedics checked me over and said I couldn’t drive, so I decided to walk.”
Almost ten miles, Eddie estimates. Sure. Totally normal thing to do in the middle of the night, battered and bruised, after escaping a fire.
But he’s pretty sure that’s all he’s going to get, so he settles on, “Good thing I came along, then.”
“Yeah.”
-------------------------------------------
Eddie doesn’t expect to find Steve Harrington half-dead on a dark road in the middle of the night — or to be the one he clings to after.

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
Hooking up with Steve comes with excuses and lies—the things Eddie tells himself so it hurts a little less when he sneaks out of the former-jock's house in the morning, only to watch him flirt with girls the exact same day. Because, who is he kidding? He's the queer kid hooking up with the jock, getting a happily ever after isn't ever going to be in his cards.

Summary
It's a Tuesday when it happens. He's sitting anxiously at lunch, eating his hot pockets and silently dreading the math quiz coming next period. Trying really extra hard to keep the slipping shards of his sanity in his grasping fingers, when Dustin says Harrington's name just one too many times and he snaps.
"What the fuck," he says vehemently and suddenly, slapping his palms on the tabletop, "Is up with you and Steve Harrington?"
"What do you mean?" Dustin asks, his head tilted to the side like a little kid.
"You're always fucking talking about him!"
"Yeah," says Dustin, his face carefully blank, but still a little bitchy, "Because he's my friend. You know about those? About friends?."
And the thing is, Eddie can tell that he's said something wrong here, somewhere, but he's too busy wrestling down his bitterness to properly understand what it is.
"But Harrington's a judgmental Douchbag!"
"That's funny," replies Dustin snippily, "Cause it looks a lot like only one of you is talking shit, and it's not Steve."
Or
Eddie is really tired of hearing about Steve Harrington. Right up until he isn't.

Summary
"I'm starting to think," Eddie starts, trying and failing to keep his tone light, "that maybe telling my uncle that I'm glad his brother is going to die was maybe not the best, most tactful thing to say in that moment."
"Anyway, he offered me heroin that night," Eddie continues, "he offered me heroin then he got arrested the day after because it turned out he'd just scammed a bunch of money from dozens of people including Wayne and my other aunts and uncles. If it weren't for Wayne, I would have gotten kicked out of the family by proxy."
"Shit," Steve offers weakly.
"So why am I so fucking sad?" Eddie wails.

Summary
Eddie Munson always knew he wasn’t getting a happy ending.
He should’ve died in the Upside Down. He was supposed to.
But Steve Harrington — golden boy, King of Hawkins High, and certified goddamn babysitter — didn’t get that memo.
And maybe that’s the real problem.
Eddie's never been good at being wanted.
He’s even worse at being alive.
Steve Harrington didn’t expect to survive high school — let alone survive the goddamn Upside Down. But when he finds Eddie torn up and barely breathing, something in him snaps — hard enough to pull him through the exhaustion, fear, and numbness he’s been feeling for the last year.
Steve doesn’t know what comes next.
All he knows is he can’t let Eddie Munson die.

This writing is some of the best I've read
It's so succinct, written in short sentences while still delivering such vivid imagery and emotion. You know that advice for writers that sometimes less is more? This is a masterclass in that UGH I LOVE IT AND I'M ALREADY SO HOOKED

Summary
"Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."
"What’s that supposed to mean?!"
"It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."
*
It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.
