Summary
Steve Harrington nursed Eddie back to health, kept him warm and well-fed, and quite literally led a quest into Hell to give him his real body back. Which is great. It’s fucking fantastic. Definitely did not make Eddie fall a little bit head-over-heels in love with the guy.
At least, that’s what he kept telling himself at first, because Steve is just a really good guy with a tendency to act like an overbearing mother and it absolutely, undoubtedly, one-thousand-percent did not mean anything.
But then the dust settled, and Steve had still looked Eddie in the eye and asked him to stay.
And then—!
Then Steve had kissed him.
Eddie desperately wants to know what it all means.
Eddie Munson is alive and human again, and it's time to deal with the consequences. Unfortunately, that means figuring out how to defeat Vecna for good, discovering that he hasn't quite managed to get rid of the bat in him, and dealing with whatever the fuck it is that he's feeling for Steve Harrington. None of it is going to be easy.

Summary
Eddie's gaze lingers on him. Soft, fond, and just for a moment Steve feels a bit like a bug in an enclosure himself. Specifically, one of Eddie's favourite little bugs.
Something wet hits his shoulder.
Outside the enclosure, a child points at him and laughs.
"Wonderful," Steve mumbles, staring at the bird shit now decorating his sleeve.
"Oh, you got a little something…" Eddie reaches out towards Steve's hair, then pulls his hand back. "Well. Everywhere, really."
*****
Steve works in the farmyard section of Hawkins Zoo, and spends his days mucking out barns and trying not to fall in love with his co-worker in the Insect House.
He fails.
A little orphan lamb, some nudging from his best friend, and a whole lot of chemistry brings him and Eddie together.

Summary
Steve sometimes had to check himself in the mirror to make sure that everything that he remembered had happened. And then he’d see the myriad of scar tissue, and the way that he couldn’t hear what he was saying, despite seeing his chapped lips move, and he’d remember that 'oh yeah, I may or may not be living above literal hell'.
or
It's November 1990, over four years since the events of series four. Everyone has their own lives now, but Steve... Steve is lost.

Summary
“It’s not mine, it’s… it’s Eddies,” his voice is trembling like the hands that grab Steve by the wrists to stop his fussing. Hiccups interrupt his words, but he powers through. “You gotta help him, Steve, please. Please help him.”
.
Steve nods, taking in the way Dustin doesn’t dare look away from his eyes, purposely avoiding the bloodied Eddie on the ground. “Okay,” he presses his forehead to Dustin's, successfully trapping them in their own little world, and whispers. “I’ve got him. I’ve got you.”OR: Eddie is in a coma, and steve has plenty of time in the hospital to figure out his feelings (with some help from robin)

Summary
When ten-year-old Steve Harrington's life gets turned upside down, he has to learn to navigate his new life. Every night, he transforms back into a human. And every morning, without fail, he returns to the water as a merman.
When Steve turns 18, he is allowed more freedom. He doesn't see the point in trying to reconnect with his human half, that is, until Eddie Munson walks into his life, a human who sees more than Steve expects, with a laugh that pulls him toward the sun and a warmth that might finally make the world feel worth staying for.
