Summary
After years of sharing classes Eddie finally found himself interacting with Steve Harrington. Inexplicably the guy wouldn't leave him alone. How is Eddie supposed to suppress his dumb crush when he can't dodge the object of his desire?
Set right after season 2, and goes up through 3. This is a slow burn, my friends. Lots of flirting and banter, and fluff, but knowing me there will be a little angst mixed in for flavor.

Summary
Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.
It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.
Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.
Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

Summary
Eddie’s graduating and ‘85 really is his year. The Lab is in the past and the Upside Down is locked away behind closed gates that will never open again. He’s got two jobs and rock star dreams. Nothing is going to come between him and living the life of freedom he never thought he could have.
Steve is graduating and nothing is what he thought his life would look like at this point. There are a lot of things he wouldn’t give up or change: his friends, the kids in the Party, and Eddie. But there’s a lot he would change, too. His dumb nightmares, the God awful uniform at his new job, and the migraines that have started to really cramp his style.
When it starts to look like things with the Upside Down aren’t as settled as they thought Steve, Eddie, and all their friend are going to find out that predicting the future doesn’t always guarantee a happy ending for everyone but working together just might.

Summary
“Don’t crack on me now, Munson,” Steve says.
“Aww,” Eddie replies, trying to make his tone its usual cloying flirtation, “didn’t think you cared, your highness.”
He twists his mouth up at the side. It doesn’t quite land on a smirk—he can feel the way it wobbles. If Harrington notices, he doesn’t call him on it.
With a roll of his eyes, Harrington responds, “like you said, no people means no help, means you’re all I’ve got.”
Or: Steve & Eddie get pulled into the Upside-Down and become reluctant allies. For survival.

Summary
Eddie had done a lot of running recently. He’d run when Chrissy died, when Jason and his gang was hunting him, when the cops gave his name to the town and started a witch hunt for the freak. He’d run from all of it, and more.
He’d run from the lab. He’d run from Papa.
He couldn’t run any longer.

My own take on the 'Eddie is from Hawkin's Lab' theory!
