Summary
In the aftermath of Vecna Eddie can't seem to stop himself flirting with Steve. In the space of a single conversation he's told the guy to keep the jacket, compared himself to a fair maiden, and fucking winked apparently! Surely there's still some monsters left so he can fling himself into the upside-down and not have to face how embarassing he's being.
Steve is certain that all the feelings he's been having about Eddie are platonic with a captial P. True, he can't stop looking at the guy, and touching him, and thinking about how pretty he is and how soft his hair looks- But that's all totally normal friend stuff. Totally, completely, normal.
A fic exploring how the aftermath of vol. 2 could have gone had Vecna been defeated a few minutes earlier. Featuring Eddie's disaster flirting, The Jacket, Steve and Robin playing detective about Steve's sexuality, a Bi-awakening, Steve and Eddie co-parenting six children, and everyone else's reactions to the whole mess.

Summary
"So you're the troublemaker Hop keeps ranting on about." Steve finally says, announcing his presence to the room.
Hopper snorts a laugh when he sees him, and immediately walks over to graciously relieve him of the container of food.
But Steve's eyes are on Munson, who was trying oh so hard to be subtle as he looks him up and down. For a moment he'd wished he'd worn something more flattering than old jeans and Robin's green hoodie.
———
AKA the one where Hopper adopts Steve and (maybe) accidentally sets him up with Eddie thorn-in-his-side Munson

Summary
During a game of D&D at his house, Dustin discovers something of Robin's that implies Steve isn't straight. Rather than have his best friend outed in front of Eddie and the kids, Steve accepts ownership of the item and his supposed 'queerness'. But what Steve never could have expected is how Eddie Munson reacts to his 'outing'.

Summary
The film isn’t even on Steve’s radar at this point. He couldn’t say what’s happening anymore, but he doesn’t even care. Forget Geena Davis, forget Jeff Goldblum, Steve can’t stop thinking about Eddie Munson, right there next to him, hand inches away from his own.
Steve’s pinky twitches out, like it’s got a mind of its own, towards Eddie’s hand. His heart is in his throat, breath caught behind it, as his pinky hovers, trembling. He could touch him. Wants to touch him. To hook his pinky over Eddie’s, curl them together, maybe even link the rest of their fingers too.
He’s never wanted to hold somebody’s hand so bad before.

Summary
“King Harrington.” Eddie smirked, grabbing Steve’s hand and bending low once again, and if he’d had any more time to react Steve was sure he would’ve snatched his hand away on reflex. Instead, he felt the soft brush of Eddie’s lips against his skin, heard the raucous laughter that erupted from both Eddie and Robin, and felt his skin raise another few degrees in temperature.
Or, Steve is massively, ridiculously, head over heels for Eddie; he just doesn't realise it yet.
