Summary
“I have-” Eddie starts, he clears his throat and sits up a little straighter. “I actually have a date.”
Steve doesn’t hear what Robin says next. A date. He can see her mouth moving, but his brain is filled with a static hum. A date. He vaguely thinks she’s asking Eddie what he means. The tape in his hand creaks ominously, his grip tightening to the point of almost cracking the plastic case. He looks down and sets it back in the cart before Keith has another reason to fire him.
The fake smile he plasters on must be painful to look at because Robin winces. Everything coming out of Eddie’s mouth is making his head spin. This is giving him whiplash. He feels like they’re having this conversation underwater, like he hears the words but they’re incomprehensible.

Summary
It's Hawkins, Indiana. November 1983. Again.
By some grace, our gang has a second chance at life - some literally. Faced with a chance to do it all over again, many choose to spend their time finally acting like kids and enjoying the childhood they were deprived of for three years. Steve Harrington, on the other hand, returns with a long to-do list of things he needs to change. To make up for. To fix.
First on that list? Finding Eddie Munson, and single-handedly making up for everything bad that ever happened to the man with three little words: "Is that Metallica?"

Summary
“Oh, hey,” Steve's voice picks up. “I have a voicemail from you.”
Eddie slams his head against the door. “Please don’t listen to it.”
“What? Why not?”
“Steve,” Eddie pleads. "I'm serious."
“Whoops, my finger slipped.”
And the voicemail starts playing.
“Heeeeeeey. What’s up, Stevie? Steve. Steve Harrington. What is up. Sooo…” past-him hiccups, a giggle bursting free. “I’m drunk as fuck, man— and, uh, my inhibitions are lower. Lowered. Low. Which means I can talk to you, ‘cause sober me’s a total coward. Like, charged as a wuss and arrested on the spot. And, uh… I suck. ‘Cause I’m so fucked up over you, man.”
Eddie squeezes his eyes shut against the sudden burn in his eyes.

Summary
“Wait, wait, wait. You, Erica Sinclair”—Steve brandished his spoon at her, flinging flecks of ice cream spit onto the counter, before flipping it back on himself—“want me to help Eddie Munson get some game?”
“You know, Lucas said it took you a while to get with the program, but this is embarrassing.”

Summary
Steve Harrington thought they were kidding. A week ago, Robin and Eddie had been excitedly talking about this thing called a “Renaissance Faire” coming to Indianapolis the following weekend. The way they were talking about it with the costumes and the lore, Steve presumed it was another Dungeons and Dragons thing that he did not understand so he tuned them out.
(i.e. the fruity four and the kids go to the renaissance faire and something about Eddie in a costume gets Steve flustered)

Summary
“Yeah, well, that doesn’t stop the fact that Eddie–,” Steve threw a hand out, gesturing to Eddie and ignoring the indignant look on Eddie’s face, “--wants to eat me,” Steve’s hand was back at himself, gesturing to his throat with dramatic emphasis.
“Just a little bit,” Eddie found himself saying while making a pinching motion, if only because part of him particularly enjoyed getting a rise out of Steve if given the opportunity.

Summary
"Hello? Ed, is that you? What's all that noise? What's going on?"
"Wayne, can you come pick me up ... I’m at a party at the Harringtons’ house ... I don't wanna talk about it, man … Can you please just come get me? Please."
Eddie hangs up the phone and swallows down the lump in his throat.
He refuses to cry in Steve Harrington's kitchen.

Summary
Look, Eddie was a simple man. He wanted simple things.
And if a simple man glances up while making his way back along a tabletop after he gave a —quite frankly, riveting— monologue against compulsory sports, and see's the sight that is Steve Harrington wide eyed, mouth parted, with a strong blush spread over his face… then the simple man is falling right back under the spell. Luckily, he doesn't actually fall. Mostly just stumbles a little while getting back to his chair.
----
Steve Harrington enters his senior year of high school with a pathetic crush on resident freak, Eddie Munson. And his pretty, pretty hair. With no other way to express it, he come up with a plan.

Summary
“Steve. Would you rather… Would you rather kiss Jonathan or Eddie?”
It’s blunt. The kind of blunt question Robin wouldn’t be caught dead asking in the wrong company.
Eddie looks away and purses his lips. Imagines the slim few ways Steve could respond.
Um. Neither?
I’m not gay, Robin.
“Eddie.”
What.

Summary
Eddie's soulmate was quiet. No lullabies, no radio, no records. It broke Eddie's heart a little, because either his soulmate hated music, or they didn't have access to it and he couldn't figure out which was worse. Then something changed.
Steve's soulmate was noisy. It wasn't something he was used to at all, in fact, he remembered hating it as a kid. Then something changed.

Eddie and Steve are soulmates, the question is, how long will it take them to figure it out?

Summary
Robin is so, so stupid.
In a situation where Robin accidentally outs herself to Vickie, she panics and lies, saying she’s not “like that” and that she actually has a boyfriend. Whose the boyfriend, you ask? The first name she could think of that would even slightly go along with her lie.
Eddie fucking Munson.

Summary
“So… do you always perform like that?”
Feeling strangely flustered, Steve turned to Eddie, who looked so unbelievably satisfied with himself.
“You mean like a total rock god sent from hell to corrupt the youth? Yep, that’s all me.”
Steve shook his head, struggling to form words after watching Eddie onstage, playing his guitar like he was damn near making love to the thing.
“No, like you’re trying to make half the crowd cream their pants.”
Eddie’s amused grin filled Steve with an odd warmth, “Well that was a special effort just for you, Harrington.”
Or, Steve goes to see Eddie’s band play and finally finds what he’s been looking for.

Summary
Eddie chuckled nervously. “Um, maybe you’re too out of it to tell, but I’m not some hot chick. I’m a dude.”
Steve scoffed, as if that was the stupidest thing Eddie could have said. “Yeah, duh you’re not a hot chick. You’re Eddie. Which makes you a hot dude.”
Yeah, alright, Eddie was definitely blushing now. What was he even supposed to do with this? Did Steve realized what he was saying? Was there a drug that could make you gay? If there was, the government was going to be pissed.
Or
All Eddie wanted to do was stop by Starcourt Mall to pick up his friend from the movies. But now he has a seemingly drugged up Steve Harrington leaning in WAY too close. And... did he seriously just call him pretty?

“You know what I’m angriest at?” Eddie asks softly after a few moments, his voice weak and breaking from his crying. Steve touches his head again.
“What?” Steve whispers.
“...He’s fucking right.”

"It’s not ideal, keeping these recurrent headaches a secret from all of his friends, and sure, Steve's had his fair share of days where he’s been forced to just work through the pain, but he’s making it work. He’s managing.
He’s fine."
In which Steve Harrington is determined to suffer his migraines in silence, alone, and Eddie Munson is determined not to let him.

Eddie is dead. Except... maybe only, like, half-dead? Steve doesn't really know if he should call him a ghost or not, but there's a chance to bring him back. Steve doesn't give a shit about the specifics—that's all that matters.
