Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

Summary
“How long do you have?” he asks, staring intently into Eddie's big, dark eyes. Eddie looks at him for a long while.
“Got nothin’ but time,” he eventually says, and Steve notes that his voice has a sort of gentle lilt when he speaks softly, something sweet and southern running through it. “Rich in that at least.”
And so Steve sits down on the ground in the dirt. The air's hot and sticky, and by the time he stops talking, he isn't sure he's ever been that parched, not ever. He talks and talks. He doesn't stop for a long while.
Eddie Munson listens quietly.---
The battle at Starcourt might have culminated in the end of the upside down back in '85, but Steve is still plagued by nightmares. Years later, he's the last one left in Hawkins - content to stay there, safe and alone and fading into nothing as the summer heat peaks again.
A three am rendezvous at Sattler quarry changes that.- Language:

Summary
“God, you really haven’t changed, have you?” Eddie muttered quietly before pitching his voice somewhere between cheerful and mocking, “Still so easy to rile up- you make it way too easy,” then he tilted his head, nearly condescending, “Lemme fix your car, big boy. Then we can chat. Catch up on old times.”
***
It's 1990 and Steve Harrington is lost. He's got it all- the house is on the way, he's teaching the kids, Henderson still pops around from time to time- he should be happy. He should have everything his small town heart desires and wanting anything more- wondering about it- is plain selfish.
Then a sudden guest from the past wearing platform boots and a wicked grin arrives- opening old memories that should have stayed long buried- and turns Steve's world sideways forever.
OR: Pre/Post S5 Rewrite. Eddie Munson survives. Steve Harrington puts up with him. This story tells their past, present and future- what it means to fall out of touch and get right back in it.

Summary
In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.
A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning.
Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?
Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.
Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone who Steve shouldn't have any reason to care about. But no matter what Steve does, every path seems to lead him back to Eddie.

Summary
"Yeah, yeah – laugh all you want. I see you’re still making fun of us older people,” Eddie drawls out as he leans his arms on the roof of the car, lowering his head to look at him. The t-shirt underneath his leather jacket is riding up, showing a trail of dark hair disappearing beneath the jeans.
Steve’s not laughing anymore.
“See you, Munson,” Steve says, lifting his gaze a second too late; he knows Eddie has seen his eyes linger. Eddie pats the roof twice in goodbye and slams the door shut, sauntering towards the trailer.
“Was that just me, or...” Vickie whispers.
“Yep,” Robin interjects. “Could cut the tension with a fucking knife.”
Steve squeezes his eyes shut, groaning.
“Don’t start, Robin.”
Or: Steve Harrington moves to Hawkins, trading his parents' empty mansion for a rental and a job at the local repair shop. He's looking for peace and quiet. Instead, he hires Eddie Munson as a mover, steals his rings, and learns that sometimes, finding balance requires embracing a little chaos.

Summary
“You’re being weird,” Chrissy said. “With Steve.”
Eddie sighed and tossed the rag aside. “I’m not being weird. The kid’s just… suspicious, okay? Nobody shows up in a spotless Beemer, looking that good, just to take a desk job in this dump for minimum wage. He’s digging for something, I can feel it.”
Chrissy raised a brow. “Digging for what, exactly?”
He hesitated. “Hell if I know. Me?”
She stared, then snorted. “Right. The feds finally figured it out. Send in some pretty boy in tight jeans to make you confess.”
Eddie tried not to smile, and failed completely. “You joke, but that’s exactly how they’d get me.”
“Damn right it is.”

Summary
Eddie doesn't know how they've gotten to this place where sometimes Steve just turns up like a bad penny, bloodied and hurt, like he's looking to Eddie to fix it.
Eddie can't fix anything. He can't even fix himself.
He can't even graduate high school. He definitely can't fix Steve Harrington's internal or external wounds.
Or:
Eddie finds himself watching, year after year, as Steve Harrington turns up at his place of work, beaten and bloodied.

“You need to stay calm, buddy.”
Don’t be so dramatic, buddy. Comb your hair, buddy. You can’t wear that, buddy. Speak up, buddy. You’re always crying, buddy. Don’t be a pussy, buddy. Grow some damn balls, buddy. You’re a fucking idiot, buddy.
“I am calm.”

Summary
Despite how it seems, the storm chasing community is actually pretty small. So, when someone new shows up, it's worth taking note.
At least, Steve Harrington thinks so.
Sometimes it's a newly trained expert. Someone fresh out of school that's spent years studying meteorology before finally getting out into the field for some hands-on experience. Other times, it's some video live streamer, looking for a bunch of views and an influx of cash in trade for being a little too reckless.
Of course, Steve's just the wheel man, so what the fuck does he know? That's what Henderson would say, anyway. Steve's supposed to drive, not get them killed, and follow the little dickhead's directions. That's it.

Summary
Will's first attempt at tarot reading is a disaster. The only reasonable response is to have him try again with the slightly older crew. With their superior rationality, general level-headedness and overall stability, what could go wrong?
Steve tries to pick up the pieces, and learns a thing or two about himself along the way.

Summary
The thing was, these popular types, the Royalty of High School Society? They just wanted to be entertained. They wanted something to break though the dull monotony of life at the top of the food chain, and if nothing happened to catch their interest, they made their own fun.
Good thing Eddie was unparalleled at keeping little sheeps entertained.Series

Summary
Steve has grown so accustomed to Eddie only calling him by nicknames – Stevie, big boy, Steve-o, doll, sweetheart, pretty boy, and so many others – that the day Eddie just… stops, hits him like a freight train. Steve doesn’t have time to examine why he’s bothered by the sudden change-up – he just knows he needs to get to the bottom of it. Because he's worried about his friend.
Just his friend.

Steve Harrington's survived the Upside Down, the worst breakup of his life, and Billy Hargrove, and all he has to show for it is a grade point average that's not going to let him graduate. What's a boy to do?
Sign up for the school play for some extra credit, of course.
He has no idea what he's doing, and his co-star isn't making his life any easier.

Summary
“I think I’m stuck.”
Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.
“Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.
“I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”
Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
“You planning on becoming a comedian?”
“Eds.”
“Stevie.”
Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.

Summary
“Bada-boom!” Dustin smacks a card down on the table in front of Eddie.
Nose wrinkling, Eddie picks up the card. “What is this?”
“The answer to your problems. It’s a paranormal research club here on campus."
Mike groans. “Dustin, no.”
~
Weird things keep happening in Wayne and Eddie’s new place. Fortunately Dustin knows someone that can help. Unfortunately that someone is Steve Harrington.
Eddie doesn’t know who the bigger skeptic is: Steve, the guy who doesn’t believe in ghosts. Or, Eddie, who doesn’t believe in Steve.

Summary
“It’s okay, you know,” Gareth says, propped up against the brick alley of the Hawk.
Eddie’s crouched like a gremlin, shoveling popcorn into his mouth and trying to coax what he thinks is a cat out from under the dumpster. “What’s okay?” he says.
“To like. Like him. Harrington,” Gareth says, shoving his hands in his pockets. “I’ve seen him at Melvald’s and he’s, like, weirdly charming to everyone. He even looks like he means it.”
He does, Eddie thinks, which is what makes it so sinister. Whatever. This stretch of insanity will all be over with after the holidays, and he can go back to New York, live out his wildest dreams, and forget Steve Harrington ever took up any space in his brain at all.
Or,
Five years after the defeat of Vecna, Steve Harrington runs an animal sanctuary.
