Summary
"The 40-year-old wants to be friends with me," Eddie declares over his shoulder, to any of his roommates who can hear him.
"Maybe he can smell your desperation," Freak says back.
"Okay Mr. I-Eloped-With-My-High-School-Sweetheart-in-a-Graveyard-at-18, we can't all be as cool as you," Eddie replies.
"Who the fuck gets on Grindr to be friends with someone?" Jeff asks, wrinkling his nose.
"Leave the old man alone!" Eddie says, with more passion than he needs. "He's a single father and a working man."

Summary
“Are you going to kill me?” Steve’s voice was small, the question choking out of him without permission.
Did he even want to know the answer? It was probably as obvious as it seemed, as Eddie rose an eyebrow at him.
“Kill you? Oh, Stevie, I would never.” Eddie dropped to one knee by Steve’s side. His head leaned down, so close to Steve’s ear that he could feel his hot breath ticking against his hair. “I like my meals hot.”
OR
Eddie takes Steve to another version of Hawkins that he likes to call the Inside Out.

Summary
Steve looks over to his house. His big empty house where he has to keep all the lights on lest the darkness and silence suffocate him. Where the silence is loud, and the dark is all-encompassing. Where there is no one but him and his thoughts and the shadows that move in the corners of his eyes.
Then he looks to the whinging little tadpoles that fell out of his bin.
House.
Tadpoles.
House.
Tadpoles.
…God Steve's always been a bleeding heart.

Summary
Steve realizes too late that he has fallen for Eddie. As a Hail Mary move he writes a letter for Eddie to take with him as he leaves to tour with his band.
Steve never hands over that letter.
First Steve didn’t send the letter because he felt like he was a loser who peaked in high school. He felt that his confession would either make one of the best friends he had extremely uncomfortable with being around him or hold him back from a brighter future away from Hawkins.
So he was determined to not be a loser who peaked in highschool.
After almost 10 years and MANY more unsent letters collecting dust in a box Robin keeps safe in her closet— things come to a head.

Summary
There is Something inside Steve Harrington. Something that had always been there, that had started off small and mewling, but had grown just as he had. Something that was once only an itch beneath his skin but was now a roaring grind against his bones. When it finally came roaring to the surface, braying for blood, Steve chained down with silver shackles and heavy locks. And, if Steve had his way, it would have remained like that until he died.
But them the lights are flashing in the Byers' house and there's a monster ripping through the walls and Steve makes a choice.
For what better to fight a monster than another monster?

Summary
Steve has been keeping a big secret: he’s a werewolf from a long line of werewolves. Only problem is, he’s a complete failure at it. He can’t even shift, but it does make him a bit harder to kill, so he thought he’d found his perfect niche keeping the kids and his secret safe after ‘83. With their plan to end Vecna only half successful and Eddie bleeding out, he has no choice but to reveal the truth and try and convince his friends that werewolves are real. That would be enough of a task for anyone, but to his shock, his heritage has an even bigger surprise in store, and of course, there’s Max to worry about too.

Summary
Steve stares at him intensely, and Eddie is picturing the chains snapping in his head as Steve whips around, swallowing his hand whole. But it doesn't happen. Instead, Steve moves hesitantly, and then he's leaning against his hand, like he's hungry for the contact.
Eddie is shocked into silence, but he pressed back, hands moving up to rub Steve's ears. Steve makes a noise, almost like a purr, and his eyes open. Eddie is staring right into them now - bright orange and powerful, like the stars have collided into one mass inside his eyes. There's no anger in them now, just silence and what Eddie could only describe as pain. He doesn't know how he knows it, but he can see Steve inside them now, looking back at him.
Eddie makes a decision then. A very, very stupid one.

Summary
“Have you considered standing up to them? Or maybe you could try explaining to them what you’ve told me. That even if she might not be who they’d choose for you, she makes you happy?”
”Through the forest have I gone. But Athenian found I none, on whose eyes I might approve this flower’s force in stirring love. Night and silence. –Who is here?”
A smile slowly spreads across Steve’s face as a thought occurs to him. “Or maybe I could show them…”
Robin follows Steve’s gaze toward the stage where Eddie Munson prances around, wild hair flying back and forth as he bounces to his mark, always high in spirits and unfettered energy, be it while speaking in iambic pentameter, mocking Tommy for his embarrassing attempt at an English accent, or flirting with anyone who stepped foot inside the Hawkins Community Playhouse.
Robin sighs next to Steve, but he pays no mind to her softly muttered “Oh, dammit.”

Or Steve asks Eddie to pretend to be his boyfriend to prove to his parents that Nancy can't possibly be that bad.- Language:

Summary
Steve is being courted by Eddie. Steve does not realize he's being courted by Eddie, but he encourages the older man's advances all the same, thrilled to have his friend's attention, no matter how weirdly the rest of the Party members are acting about it. Steve's never been properly courted, not really, and it's just not in the cards for him anymore. He's resigned himself to that fact.
No, seriously. He's made peace with it.
Courtship? That's not what's happening. Eddie Munson would never propose courtship with Steve Harrington, not in a million years.
Except Eddie would, and he fucking did.

Summary
Hawkins, Indiana is thrown into a panic when High-school prince, Steve Harrington goes missing. With no trace of what happened to him and no hope that he'll ever be found, he suddenly reappears naked in a snow bank. One Eddie Munson may or may not be curious as to what happened all while trying to figure out what is wrong with the white female wolf near his trailer, who by the way saved his life.
~ ~ ~
Now Eddie wasn't much for gossip, nor was he a fan of trains. What he was very into though was conspiracies. Was JFK really assassinated? Or was the CIA trying to cover up their asses for the Bay of Pigs situation? Questions like those intrigued him in ways that thousand-piece puzzles didn't. As conspiracies could be interpreted in any way you wanted them to, unlike puzzles that were made to create only one understanding and one understanding only. The process of getting to the finished product always the same for each puzzle. Which is how he found himself infatuated with the disappearance of one senior high king, who now would be a super senior high king. Forced to repeat the year that he had missed, along with Eddie who had been there the entire year but just flunked all of his classes.

Steve Harrington's Guide to the Care and (Lack of) Training of Your Demobat-Transformed Friend by Anonymous

Summary
There had been a lot of changes, since Eddie had come back from the Upside Down and Steve had started harboring him. The claws and fangs for one, and Eddie’s new, all-raw diet. The fact that the guy who was once so yappy he regularly delivered full-blown speeches on cafeteria table tops had become basically non-verbal, reduced to growls and hisses and purrs to communicate.
And then there were…the more embarrassing things.
Like demobat-transformed Eddie’s weird ass preoccupation with sniffing at Steve’s crotch every chance he got.

Summary
"I just want a friend."
The wolf stays where he’s at and for a moment Eddie feels extremely stupid for trying to communicate with an animal but then the wolf stands up- and woah he’s way bigger up close.
Eddie watches as the wolf steps closer and giggles at the wet cold feeling of his snout sniffing at his hand. He brings it up to pet through the wolf’s unbelievably soft fur and marvels at the glisten of the golden-like color even in the moonlight. “You do too, huh?” Eddie giggles, scratching behind the wolf’s ear as he sniffs at Eddie’s face. “I think I’m gonna’ call you Ozzy.”
Ozzy huffs and Eddie laughs.
“Yeah. Ozzy suits you perfectly.”
