do not let this one end (before you emerge as the winner) by phonemicengineer

Summary
Steve knows the complicated jumble of feelings that Eddie is dealing with well–it’s the way he felt while Dustin told him not to worry about Max driving the car, pressing an ice pack to his battered face, the way he felt when he realized that, despite everything, they hadn’t been willing to leave him behind.
To be loved, to be shown love, is a concept that Steve still struggles with, even when he craves it desperately.

Summary
When Steve woke up in 1983 after dying in 1986, he had a few goals. Make Nancy Wheeler fall in love with him. Get into college. Save his friends. Save the world. Etc.
All this should have been easy, since he’s lived it before… right? Wrong.
Now, in spring 1985, Nancy Wheeler is very much not in love with him; Steve has been anxiously awaiting an admission decision from Indiana University; Tommy and Barb have been dead for months; and Jonathan Byers has started having bad, bad dreams.
Steve is just as confused as ever. (In more ways than one, thanks to Eddie Munson and whatever it is that they’ve got going on.)

Summary
When Vecna is defeated, Eddie’s still warm body is rescued, and the crew begin to make their escape, the seals on that plane of existence begin to close. Everything that existed before Will entered is destroyed, but things brought afterward are shunted back into the handful of moments in 1983 surrounding Will's capture. Robin and Steve, facing their death, find themselves waking in their younger bodies. Running on adrenaline, barely grasping the reality of their situation, their first impulse changes everything.
Three kids disappear that night. Small-town gossip does what it likes. For some, guilt sets in when the kids are rescued, covered in fresh injuries and scars.
Things change. Traumatized, Steve and Robin do their best to make sure it changes for the better.

He finds the cabin by accident.

Summary
“Are your parents spies?”
“What? No.” No, they’re just a space alien and a woman from the future who briefly was all of time and space, no big deal.
“Are they…no, sorry, can’t think of any better reasons for there to be a weird vault of futuristic technology in your house, Steve.” Dustin says his name with a strange sort of emphasis, like he wants to impress upon Steve that he knows exactly who his is and what he’s about and he’s not going to get away with any of his shenanigans while Dustin is about. Steve wishes Dustin would clue him in on who Steve is and what he’s about because he’s beginning to wonder who and what that is exactly, if he ever knew in the first place.AU where Steve Harrington's parents are the Doctor and Rose Tyler and somehow he's still fighting monsters with a baseball bat.

Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
Under a much different circumstance, Eddie would have loved to have Steve’s eyes looking over him like that, would love to have that determination focused on him, but Eddie is very much dying, he knows it, so he smiles at Steve’s misplaced confidence instead, “High expectations, Stevie. Where’d you learn to swing like that anyway?”
“I’ll tell you,” Steve’s voice is a bit shaky, his tone wavering, even as he puts on a brave face, “but you have to stay alive, Munson.”
If he had more strength, he’d consider testing his luck one last time, tease Steve by asking if he swings for Eddie’s team, but- he’s tired.
Dying young. What a fucking nightmare.
Or, what if the Party defeats Vecna in time, and Eddie lives?

Summary
‘So,’ Tommy says around a mouthful of fries, ‘what the fuck is the deal with you and Hargrove?’
And that’s really the goddamn question, isn’t it?
He wants to know Billy. Wants to know why he is the way he is. Wants to be able to figure out what the fuck he’s thinking when he looks at Steve like that, when he touches him like it doesn’t mean shit and like it means everything all at once. Wants to know why he talks so much shit, why he needs to fight, where all that fire comes from. Why he’s so volatile, why he’s such an asshole, how he can be so fucking mean and so fucking sweet in the span of seconds, at the same time, even.

Summary
Eddie lowers his arms and there he is. Everyone turns to see Steve Harrington cutting an intimidating figure in the moonlight, a bat spiked with nails in hand. And even from here, even with his vision swimming, Eddie can tell he’s fucking pissed. Steve glares down Jason with the wrath of god in his eyes.
AKA the scene we all deserved where Steve gets to be Eddie's knight in shining armour, and beat the absolute shit out of Jason and his gang.

“Don’t rescue me, Harrington,” Eddie interrupts. “I’ll take my admonishment.”

Summary
Eddie Munson dies. Eddie dies, and no CPR, no medical intervention, nothing Steve can do will bring him back. But Steve hears a voice across the Upside Down asking him if he wants to change things.
He'd be a fool not to say yes.
Dozens, hundreds of days later and he still doesn't regret his decision. Steve is going to bring all of his friends out of this alive if it kills him.
He’d never even considered what came after.
AKA the timeloop fic where Steve wakes up the morning Dustin and Max burst into Family Video looking for Eddie. Again. And again; and a hundred more times after that.

Someone who leaves on the light for me by sidekick_hero
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
08 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
“There was a fire. At the mall. I worked there? At Scoops Ahoy.”
The way he says the last part sounds strange, like it’s really important somehow that Eddie believes him.
“Okay,” he says, then adds, “Is that why you look like that?”
Eddie’s never met a fire with fists, but he wants Steve to tell him what happened—not just assume.
There’s a beat of silence, like Steve’s weighing his options, and Eddie knows a lie’s coming before Steve even opens his mouth.
“Yeah. Building caved in. We made it out—Robin and I. Paramedics checked me over and said I couldn’t drive, so I decided to walk.”
Almost ten miles, Eddie estimates. Sure. Totally normal thing to do in the middle of the night, battered and bruised, after escaping a fire.
But he’s pretty sure that’s all he’s going to get, so he settles on, “Good thing I came along, then.”
“Yeah.”
-------------------------------------------
Eddie doesn’t expect to find Steve Harrington half-dead on a dark road in the middle of the night — or to be the one he clings to after.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.
