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.”

💜💜💜💜 so cute
Great story all the way thru!
Smut was kinda lightweight.
Would love a one-shot or more of the trip to Cali or their life in LA.💜 -

Summary
Steve is in a bit of a crisis. Everyone around him is moving forward with their lives, they have moved out, met new people, and he is still in Hawkins, going on date after date and looking for a connection that he just can't find. After one too many dreams about a dead boy he takes his truck and RV and hits the road, trying to run away from ghosts and expectations.
He never planned for his truck to break down in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania.
He never expected to go look for a mechanic and meet a ghost.Bookmarked by Candy_darling

Cute, no smut
Needs a sequel (with some steddie smut).
Would love to see the reaction of Corroded Coffin boys to Eddie’s resurrection. -

Summary
"You here about the car?" the guy asks, and Eddie nods.
Then he leans over, grabbing a set of keys off the table, and giving them a toss to Eddie. Closing his front door behind him, "Test drive?"
Eddie nods dumbly. He doesn't really have time to bullshit around, but the car is gorgeous and the guy is stunning, and well, the other guys can surely handle this until he can catch up. Ten extra minutes won't hurt. He's already late.
Or: Steve joins Eddie on a Smokey and The Bandit style run.

The trucker fic we didn’t know we needed
Tiny bit of smut.
Perfect on its own, but wish it had a sequel. -

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.
