Summary
The upside down flipped Eddie's world, and the strangest part wasn't the monsters or government conspiracy, it was how much time he was willingly spending with Steve Harrington. And how far he was willing to go to make Steve smile.
Eddie plays basketball, the fanfic, because in a relationship it's important to share hobbies, and no one ever wants to play sports with Steve, so now Eddie's going to.

Summary
The merman doesn't make a sound, but as Eddie cuts away more and more of the net, he seems to relax a tiny bit. Those sharp eyes never leave Eddie's though.
"My name's Eddie. Do you have a name?"
No reply.
"Your scales are…really pretty," Eddie continues. "I bet they shine in the sun."
At that, a small noise escapes the merman, a quiet trill.
"Oh? You like compliments, huh?" Eddie smiles. "So you can understand me."
"Some," the merman croaks. Weakly, he holds up a hand, brings his thumb and forefinger less than an inch apart, indicating small.
*****
To most people, merfolk are dangerous beasts, evil, hunted down and their scales sold for high prices. To Eddie, they're kind and fascinating creatures from his uncle's old stories, and something he's longed to see for years.
When Captain Creel drags a captured merman on board Eddie's ship, he gets his wish.
Steve is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and Eddie's going to free him or die trying.

Summary
"Can I help you?" Eddie hollers. No matter how good looking this guy is, Eddie doesn't have time for anything else. He can't add anything to his plate. He's got maybe an hour before he'll be unfit to be around the public.
Not that Eddie's ever really fit to be around the public. But that's how he likes it. Eddie would prefer it if he never had to actually interact with the customers at all.
This dude included. Maybe especially this dude, because he looks like another alpha. A preppy motherfucker. That's just asking for trouble today. And Eddie? Eddie's been in enough trouble to last a lifetime. He's on the straight and narrow now.
Or: Two loners find unexpected comfort in the company of one another.- Language:

Summary
Steve Harrington has always fallen in bits and pieces. The way someone’s hair sits, or the way they stand when they’re nervous, or the way they smile when they think no one is looking.
Steve is always looking.
So it’s no real surprise to him when, just one week after Spring Break, he starts noticing Eddie Munson.
(Or: Eddie Munson enters Steve Harrington's life the same way everything that matters has - slowly, quietly, in pieces. Until Steve forgets what it was like before him.)
((Or: Eddie Munson arrives in a hurricane and uses his magic hands to turn Steve's walls ugly. Steve can't say he minds.))

Summary
Steve wouldn’t consider himself lonely. Sure, the kids had all gone their separate ways to college and sure, Robin was also long gone in Massachusetts, but he wasn’t lonely. Just…alone. In Hawkins. Which was fine. It meant he got to do things like meet Wayne Munson in the baking aisle on a Friday afternoon and get a kind-of-old second-best friend. Steve wasn't complaining, not even when Wayne kept bringing up his nephew...like a lot. He kind of sounded cool...
Or Steve becomes good friends with Wayne Munson who is more than happy to introduce him to his nephew Eddie.
