Summary
Eddie remembered nothing, and then he remembered Steve. His voice. His hands. Bits and pieces of scattered stimuli, coming to him like microbes on a blurry microscope.
He found out, later, that it had been Steve who had hauled him off the ground, and had dragged his warm corpse back from hell. It had been Steve to deliver compressions until he’d miraculously made it to the ambulance, and it had even been Steve who’d driven Wayne to the ICU afterwards.
Then he kept sticking around.
A casual hookup. Two. Three. Now they fuck every other weekend and Eddie couldn’t ignore the way it was making him feel. It was lovely, he felt so sweet, he’s a willing plum ready to rot in Steve’s careful hands. Steve would enjoy him and treasure him and lick his mouth clean after every bite— but this wasn’t made to last.

Things You Don’t Say to the Family Video Guy by Yellove_8
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
08 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Eddie Munson has never had a reason to rent a single movie in his life. He’s a bootlegger, a snob, and completely certain that every tape in Family Video is either mainstream trash or heartbreak in plastic form.
Then Steve Harrington starts working behind the counter.
They went to high school together, sure. But Eddie never talked to King Steve, not even when he secretly thought Steve Harrington was stupidly hot and probably emotionally wrecked in a way that made him fascinating.
Now, Steve keeps recommending him movies. “Watch this,” he says. “Just trust me.”
And Eddie does.
OR:
Five cinematic recommendations Steve pretended were casual, and one quiet gift that made Eddie stop pretending he didn’t care.

How to Lose Your Roommate in Six Weeks by thisapplepielife

Summary
"You and me. Six weeks. No strings. Just fucking," Steve says, and it's not a question. He's already decided. Eddie just needs to get on board. This is happening.
"You've lost your goddamn mind," Eddie says, shaking his head as his voice gets too high, shrill.

Summary
He muttered, voice strangled, “We’re surrounded. Anyone could notice.”
Steve’s lips curved against his skin. “They won’t.”
And god help him, Eddie wanted to believe it. Wanted to lean into that confidence, let it swallow his panic whole. But his heart was hammering too loud in his chest, loud enough he was sure it had its own beat competing with the music from the speakers.
He needed to stop this. Had to.
“Friends,” he blurted, because apparently his brain had decided to play Mad Libs with his mouth. “We’re—we’re friends. Just friends. Friends don’t…” He trailed off, because finishing that sentence meant admitting exactly what Steve was doing, and Eddie’s survival instincts vetoed that idea.
Friends don’t grind each other against pool walls? his inner voice supplied helpfully. Friends don’t swap spit and make embarrassing cartoon-character noises when they’re kissed?
Shut up, Eddie told himself.
Or: Eddie goes to a pool party, tries very hard not to drown in Steve Harrington, and fails spectacularly.

Summary
Steve never minded living in Eddie’s shadow. He liked the chaos, the noise, the way Eddie looked like he might catch fire on stage at any second. What he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud, were the songs. Every crowd screamed Eddie’s words back at him, but none of them were for Steve. Not the angry anthems, not the messy love songs, not even the ballads that left reporters breathless.
Steve told himself it didn’t matter. He didn’t need the spotlight, didn’t need Eddie to spell his name in lyrics. He just needed Eddie to come back to him when the lights went down.
But five songs in, after years of motel rooms, arenas, fights, and backstage kisses that tasted like smoke and blood, Eddie finally wrote the one that was.
And Steve wasn’t sure his heart could take it.
OR:
Five songs Eddie swore weren’t about Steve, and one that absolutely is.

Summary
Eddie hated the silence of the trailer. Empty, cold, too many ghosts rattling around in the dark. One nightmare too many and suddenly he was out the door, boots dragging him straight to the last place he should’ve been: Harrington’s pristine suburban castle. Great. Perfect. Exactly what he needed at 2 a.m.
He told himself he’d crack a joke, play it off, bolt before it got messy. Instead, Steve opened the door, looked at him like he mattered, and Eddie’s mask slipped. Tea, warmth, kindness... things he swore weren’t for freaks like him. Things that made him feel seen in ways that scared the hell out of him.
He should’ve left. He didn’t. And maybe that was the first time Eddie Munson let himself admit he didn’t want to.

How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
25 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Summary
To Eddie, it’s weird, almost wrong, that he can do all this now—can run and jump into the water, cannonballing right in the middle of everyone to cause maximum water damage, can dive deep until he pops up in front of Steve to spray water in his face—when just last summer, he couldn’t even get up to the bathroom without help. Months on months of bed rest, nearly a year of physical therapy, what felt like endless nights of sobbing into his pillow from the pain. It doesn’t feel real. It doesn’t feel like he earned it.
—
It’s the summer of 1987 and Eddie’s still healing, still falling in love.

Summary
“What else?” Eddie goads, once he’s done rolling his eyes all over Steve. “Who else is mean to poor baby rich boy, Steve Harrington?”
“You,” Steve points out, voice high, teetering on the edge of something he doesn’t fully understand. “All the other counselors, for that matter. I see how you guys look at me.”
And I see how you're looking at me right now, he wants to add.

Summary
Steve Harrington didn’t know what love was. He thought he did, a few times. He thought he loved his nanny the way his mother didn’t love him. He thought he loved Nancy the way he hadn’t loved someone else before her. He was wrong about that though, so how would he really know? He didn’t think he’d know what love was if it shoved itself in his face, called him an idiot, and bit him. He knew what love wasn’t, and that didn’t seem good enough. But when he was surrounded by club lights and the alcohol swam through his head, he felt like maybe he could learn, or least pretend for the night until he didn’t feel alone anymore; until he drove himself home in the early morning and felt the ache in his bones that said someone had been there with him, if only for a moment.

Summary
He can’t be staring down the barrel of an eternal afterlife. There has to be something more.
“How is this fair? What’d I do to deserve this? Just—nothing? For eternity? That’s so goddamned fucked up!”
He’s just rearing back to slam his hands down again when it happens.
A piercing bright light blinds Eddie, his vision going from pitch black to stark white so instantly that he crumples in on himself, protecting his eyes. A deafening static roar fills his ears as he braces his arms over his head.
“Shit, shit, shit, shit—”
A force pushes him to his back, and as soon as his head collides with the ground, he’s gone.
—
Or; After dying in the upside down, Eddie wakes up in Steve Harrington’s bedroom.
Problem is, Steve can’t see or hear Eddie.
Problem is, Eddie Munson is a goddamn ghost.

Summary
Hop said it’s a bad habit he’s gotten himself into, these night drives. Patrolling the town when everyone’s asleep, nobody to ask the question of why Steve Harrington drives circles through Hawkins past midnight every night.
It’s nearing one a.m. and Steve sighs, because—shit. There's a van on the side of the road that wasn't there on his last lap.
He can’t drive off now. He’s already stopped. Already committed, so Steve swings his keys around his finger and sighs again. Opens the car door.
He comes to a stop a few paces away from the van. Raises his voice slightly when he says, “Hello?”
“Fucking—what, hello? What?” comes a voice from the other side of the van. “Who—jesus, if I’m about to get murdered, I swear to—wait. Harrington? Steve Harrington?”
—
Or; Steve patrols the streets of Hawkins every night, looking for monsters. One night, he finds Eddie.

Summary
“Ahoy,” Eddie says, his voice low and amused as he flicks his fingers over the brim of Steve’s hat. He leans further down, feels the brush of Steve’s upper thighs against the ass of his jeans, hears the way Steve’s breath catches in his throat. He slaps away the dumb hat, watches it fly to the other side of the van. “Never mind. You look better without it.”
OR
Steve and Eddie don't get along. Never have, never will. One night, after their shifts end at the mall, Eddie finally releases some of that pent up aggression that he's been harbouring for years.

“Hey, it’s fine.” Steve’s hand twitches like he wants to reach out assuringly, but can’t because Eddie’s boner is right there. “That… kinda happens when I do this with the guys on the team too. Just part of getting a massage.”
“The whole team, huh?” Eddie feels delirious as he blurts out, “Slut.”
Before he can clap a hand over his stupid mouth, Steve laughs and shoots back, “Virgin.”
Or, Eddie gets worked up when Steve rubs his sore muscles, but Steve doesn’t mind.
