    Summary

    Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.

    Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.

    (Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)

    Summary

    "And you do know that people are curious, right?" Oprah pushes her glasses up, "Everyone is curious as to who and how you can write such heartbreaking songs without anyone ever seeing your date?"

    The camera flicks to Steve, and he blinks back at her, "Yes. I am aware."

    "Where is this muse?" The camera flickers between Oprah and Steve as they laugh at the question.

    "My muse is chilling in the skies, watching me play. He's probably berating me for stealing his sweetheart."

    Or: After Eddie's death, Steve returns to the Upside Down to retrieve his guitar. He learns how to play it and ends up becoming a famous singer, famous for his heartbreaking songs about longing and yearning for someone. For a while, that's it. It's not until sixteen years later, that some secrets are uncovered.

    Summary

    “Damn you, Harrington.” Eddie shakes his head, looking back at the box again.

    He can see Robin giving him a curios look, but Eddie avoids looking at her. He didn’t want to answer questions about his damn crush on Steve freaking Harrington and how he keeps getting more perfect by the minute. Eddie needs him to stop, like literally right now.

    “Oh my god,” Dustin screams, making Eddie look at him from across the room. Eddie finds him staring at someone, so he follows his line of sight and finds one Steve Harrington, yeah, that one, the one he just asked a second ago to stop being perfect? Yeah, that guy is standing at the bottom of the stairs with a crumpled box in his hands and is wearing glasses.

    Steve Harrington just exceeded perfect.

    -

    Or: 5 times Eddie falls in love with Steve wearing glasses and the 1 time Steve finds out.
