Summary
A year before Will Byers disappears, when Steve is 16 years old, he dreams of the Upside Down. The dream, a warning, means that high school plays out differently. Steve learns ahead of time who he actually wants to be, what to care about, and that he can be brave about a lot of things he wouldn’t expect--including Eddie Munson.
--
This is my excuse to rewrite Steve Harrington at Hawkins High, who deserves to feel true friendship and to play Dungeons and Dragons. And, of course, a nice love story with Hawkins’ hottest.- Language:

Summary
“I know you care about what those little twerps think of you, and I can assure you they think way too highly of you,” Eddie says with a wink, and Steve gives a half-hearted smirk for just a moment. “But look… I know I can’t ask you to stop worrying about those kids, so how about this? You worry about them, and you let me—actually let me—worry about you.”
Steve pushes his hair back, and yet again, gravity instantly pulls it back down, since he’s looking at his feet. “…I don’t need anyone to worry about me.”
“Too fucking bad. Someone’s gotta do it, and it’s gonna be me.”
“Why?” Steve replies with a raspy laugh, shaking his head slowly.
“Why? Why.” Eddie crosses his arms tightly across his chest, knocking his foot into Steve’s again with a bit more strength. “Because we’re friends, dipshit.”
--In which Eddie's got a reason he's been planning on leaving Hawkins since long before the world almost ended. The only thing keeping him in town at this point? His promise to be friends with Steve Harrington. And Eddie doesn't break promises.

Summary
“Eddie. Listen to me. We are going to make it out of here. I am going to get you out of here alive if I have to find the Mindflayer and fight it myself. Okay? Tell me you believe me.”
Eddie’s glassy eyes widen. His breathing is steadier, and he seems fully focused on Steve. “I believe you.”
Trapped in a hell dimension with monsters and few provisions, Steve and Eddie bond through survival and soon find themselves adjusting to their new home—and each other—in unexpected ways.
