Summary
But he didn’t count on the fact there was one person in the room who, besides Eleven and Hopper, had the reason to be the most stir-crazy of them all — and Munson had practically made antagonizing Steve into an even bigger pastime than a professional goddamn sport.
There were a variety of one liners he liked to deploy when Steve would roll his eyes or let loose a huff of annoyance.
“What’s got your panties in a twist, Harrington?” he would ask, or, “Baby skip his nap today?”
A personal favorite of his seemed to be some variation of asking if it was Steve’s time of the month. “You on your period, sweetheart?” he’ll ask. It never failed to kill with the boys, who would fall all over themselves laughing when he asked — usually after whatever meeting they were in, because it also never failed to get Nancy apoplectic. Munson, to his credit, had only needed twice to learn to keep that one way under his breath and out of her earshot for fear she’d shoot his nuts off.
These questions also had the unique ability to make Steve as red as a fucking tomato which, like, fuck him, he guessed.
In which Steve learns a thing or two, by doing a thing or two.

Summary
“If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”
Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

Beautiful long slow burn that hits me in my just post season one Steve totally bought Jonathan the camera and made Nancy give it to him feelings. Good cry, hurts like a picture of my highschool/early college psychology

Summary
A snowstorm, a broken van, and having to go into the office three times a week via public transit were going to drive Eddie to an early grave or locked up for his own sanity. But at least the bus got him from A to B, and as long as he had his headphones and Old Flo and her cat stories to keep him going, he could hold out until the part for his van got fixed.
Only fate really hates Eddie Munson.
Or at least bus strikes do.
Public transit in general isn't his biggest fan, to be fair.
But maybe it's not all bad, after all, he would never have met the stranger in the yellow scarf if he had kept on riding the bus.
