Summary
“You can be Bender,” Eddie tells Robin, “I’m really more of an Ally Sheedy anyway.” He looks at Steve as he says this, head tilted back and dark eyes sparkling in the dim light. Steve’s stomach does a funny little flip.
—
What starts with some innocent flirting leads Steve down a path of letting his defenses down, realizing he likes boys, letting someone else take care of him for a change, learning a metric fuck-ton about metal music against his will, hooking up with Eddie Munson, and becoming the boyfriend of a rock star (but not necessarily in that order).The weirdo ends up with the jock.

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
“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
Eddie Munson was practically raised by the concept of harsh realities, and he’s learned not to want things that he’ll never have, which isn’t as much as a bummer as it could be, because making the most out of what you’ve got is just as good.
Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a casual flirt and a serial dater, has a bad habit of falling hard and fast and never really recovering. Steve Harrington, despite his reputation as a bit oblivious, and a ladies man, figured some stuff out about himself four years ago and promptly squashed all those feelings into a box he never intended to see the light of day.
In which Will coming out forces Steve to be open about some things (because Steve’s issues will always take a backseat to making sure the kids feel safe). And Steve doesn’t mean for Eddie to find out, but he does, and it turns into a bonding experience. (And it’s the best and the worst, because having him as a friend is more than Steve ever could’ve hoped for, but it also feels a little like dying.)
