Summary
Steve jerks awake, sitting up so quickly that Robin almost topples over and staring wildly around the room. When his gaze lands on Eddie, he blanches visibly.
“Oh, shit,” he mutters. “Come on, no. Come on. Not again.”
“Harrington?” Eddie asks slowly. He does not love the way that Steve is staring at him right now. He really doesn’t. Steve looks like he’s staring at a ghost, a bloodied monster, like Eddie is something that should not exist in the light of day. “You good, dude?”

Getting Eddie Munson to graduate, and other acts of heroism by liionne
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
20 Jul 2022
Tags
Summary
It had only been about two weeks since Vecna and their trip to the upside down and everything had just… gone back to normal. As it always did. Life went on. The kids went back to school, he and Robin went back to work, Nancy and Jonathon were getting ready for college and Eddie…
Apparently, no one thought to check in on Eddie.
Recovering from first-time exposure wasn't easy, especially not when your return meant trying to graduate high school for the third time, so Steve decides he's going to do whatever it takes to help Eddie Munson graduate, even if it means re-learning 12th grade U.S History, and learning some things about himself along the way.

Summary
The kiss is brief, only a second or two, not even long enough for Steve to really register what's happening before Eddie pulls away. Steve’s frozen in place, his arms still wrapped around Eddie.
Steve blinks down at him. "What?" he says stupidly. What?
Eddie closes his eyes, a weak smile on his lips. "Something to remember me by."
"You're not dying," Steve says. It feels like his mouth isn't attached to his brain anymore; the inside of his head is a dial tone.
"Of course I am," Eddie says, eyes still closed. "I'm dying right now."
"You're not, though." His voice keeps getting higher, for some reason. "You're not going to die here."
"Spare me the pity, Harrington, I know—"
"You're literally not dying right now." His whole body is hot. Is he sweating? "You lost some blood but they didn't get deep enough—I looked—you're going to be fine."
There's a pause. "I'm going to be fine?" Eddie asks, voice also going high and thin. "You're—sure?"
"Yes."
"Fascinating. Great. Are you—could you do me a favor, then, and maybe just—leave me here anyway?"
"What?" Steve says. The dial tone gets louder. "No. Why?"
"No reason," Eddie says, voice tight.

I just want your extra time (and your kiss) by ChristinMKay
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
25 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
“And here I thought you were popular, Harrington,” Eddie puts on a fake, confident grin once he has put the bottle down. “I expected at least one of those hot dates you keep having to be here.” He manages to keep his leg from bouncing, but his thumb is already rubbing over the damp label on the beer bottle, peeling it off.
“Well none of us are that comfortable with crowds these days,” Steve shrugs. “And honestly, I’d rather just hang out with the people that matter.”
Five times Steve almost kissed Eddie and the one time Eddie beat him to it.

the only way to my heart is with an axe by Themoondogs
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

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 never thought that he would end up hanging out with Steve, let alone driving twelve hours across multiple state lines with him. He can't quite figure out why Steve offers to go, but he's pretty sure it's going to kill him.

This is quite simply an excuse to write eight thousand words of flirty banter because we didn't get enough of it in the show.- Language:

Summary
"You promised! You promised Steve you wouldn’t do anything stupid and then you did the stupidest fucking thing you could possibly do!” Dustin’s voice cracks. He wipes the tears away from his cheeks with his palms.
“Dustin, don’t you think you should…” Steve starts.
“Don’t rescue me, Harrington,” Eddie interrupts. “I’ll take my admonishment.”
-or-
Eddie lives, Steve is merciful, and life in Loch Nora goes on in unexpected ways.

Summary
The Hawkins Public Pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 8AM to 8PM, seven days a week. It employs three lifeguards, two of whom work each day: one from 8 to 2, and one from 2 to 8.
Objectively, Eddie knows that it’s weird for him to know this. Why should a guy who Does Not Swim concern himself with the work roster of a public pool he Does Not Swim at?
Or: Lifeguard Steve and Eddie meet up at the pool after hours.

Vecna is dead. It's the summer after the party's freshman year. Steve Harrington spends it in the Family Video Store, and Eddie Munson is spending post-graduate life bothering him. And maybe Steve isn't as bothered as he used to be.

a cinematic vision ensued (like the holiest dream) by fivecenturiesverse

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

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.

Summary
Under his breath, Eddie giggles. He hears the noise crest behind them as they walk, like a cloud of angry bees after their hive has been shaken up. It’s a fact, now, that Eddie Munson, resident freak drug-dealing alpha, is very publicly hanging around newly presented omega Steve Harrington. Alpha and omega, the perfect cookie-cutter combo the normies love to call a perfect match.
“Munson,” Harrington mutters, barely moving his lips. “What the fuck do you think you are doing?”
Or: Eddie is the king of bad ideas. Fake-courting Steve Harrington for the hell of it might take the crown.

Summary
“You brought soup,” Steve repeats, and when he does, his voice is hoarse and slightly scratchy. “You, Eddie Munson, brought me so-”
He doesn’t manage to finish his sentence, because all of a sudden he’s crouching over in another one of his coughing fits. Eddie’s at his side in an instant, steadying him with hands holding either side of Steve’s shoulders, too close and too warm and Steve fists a hand in Eddie’s shirt, turning so he can’t see the petals Steve hastily shoves into his pocket.
Steve Harrington just wants to live his life peacefully. The universe and one damn metalhead have other plans for him.

The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.
In the middle of the night, reeling from bad dreams, Steve properly starts on the mixtape Eddie made for him. Master of Puppets made Eddie feel invincible once. Maybe Steve can borrow that feeling for one night.
