Summary
"How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.
Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.
"Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.
-
Steve teaches Eddie how to swim, and confronts a few things about himself in the process.

Summary
Steve wakes up the morning of their two-month We-Finally-Got-Our-Shit-Together anniversary to find Eddie staring at him, crouched over at the foot of the bed with his round unblinking eyes like a fucking gargoyle. It should be creepy. Steve is used to this, though, so now it’s just kind of a thing that Eddie does.
“What,” Steve says groggily, wiping the drool from his mouth.
“Nothing, angel, go back to sleep,” Eddie trills.
Or, two months after Steve and Eddie officially get together, Steve finds himself thinking about home, his heart, and how to let go.

Summary
He shoots up at the sound of the flatline; the screaming follows him as he wakes.
By the time Steve’s hand shoots out to the other side of the bed, his pulse is already in his throat—it doesn’t get any calmer for finding it empty, sheets cold under his clammy palm but at the same time: it doesn’t get any worse.
But he does need to go and find his boyfriend, because the nightmares that drive Eddie out of bed, rather than straight into Steve’s arms?
Those are always the worst of them. Those are always the ones that scream loudest with pure loss.
~
Or: Nightmares. Trauma. The Terrifying Reality of Being In This Deep.
And the way that the Love is bigger than all of it, always, in the end.

Summary
“I’m dead weight.”
Eddie’s voice is so tiny, it almost undercuts his resolve. Almost.
But it’s a fucking fact, so his useless resolve doesn’t really matter either way, which is kind of a comfort.
Until Eddie blinks, and between lashes fluttering: Steve’s in his face. Leaning over him, caging him in not with his arms so much as the heat of him, the weight of his presence more than any part of them touching.
And those fucking eyes; stars could be born inside them.
Eddie just wishes he deserved a future where he’d get to watch a whole new one burst into life, where he’d deserve that kind of privilege—
But he wasn’t exaggerating. He is dead fucking weig—
“I know what it feels like when you’re the closest you’re ever gonna fucking get to dead weight,” Steve somehow bites out so sharp while sounding so level, just stating facts like his eyes aren’t on fucking fire:
“This is nothing like that.”
—
Or: Eddie can’t quite understand how Steve can love him, when he can’t see how he brings anything to the table—but you know what they say:
One man’s flaws just might fill another’s empty spaces fucking perfectly.

Summary
Steve never minded living in Eddie’s shadow. He liked the chaos, the noise, the way Eddie looked like he might catch fire on stage at any second. What he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud, were the songs. Every crowd screamed Eddie’s words back at him, but none of them were for Steve. Not the angry anthems, not the messy love songs, not even the ballads that left reporters breathless.
Steve told himself it didn’t matter. He didn’t need the spotlight, didn’t need Eddie to spell his name in lyrics. He just needed Eddie to come back to him when the lights went down.
But five songs in, after years of motel rooms, arenas, fights, and backstage kisses that tasted like smoke and blood, Eddie finally wrote the one that was.
And Steve wasn’t sure his heart could take it.
OR:
Five songs Eddie swore weren’t about Steve, and one that absolutely is.

Summary
“What, you don’t have shit for first aid at home?” And even though Eddie’s lilting voice was sort of joking, he looked straight through Steve in a way that made Steve suddenly certain that Eddie was not going to let this go.
Steve let out a broken laugh and rested his head back against the car door, closing his eyes again instead of imagining what it might be like to live in a house that wasn’t completely haunted. He considered just blowing it off and ignoring Eddie, but he was already trying to ignore the methodic dripping from one of the cuts on his chest that had split open earlier. It wouldn’t stop sticking everywhere and it felt like a goddamn nightmare on top of the dried blood that wouldn’t stop flaking off his skin.
“No way, Munson. Not a chance in hell.”

He’s fine."

Summary
He thinks about the relief in Eddie’s voice when he said he had a hunch about Steve’s whereabouts, like Dustin is the chosen one for understanding what makes Steve tick. Eddie’s joked about it before; he’d called it “sibling telepathy” when Dustin had silently communicated his popcorn order at the movies, and he’d nudged Steve in the ribs when Steve’s nose wrinkled meaning Gross, dude. Then Steve had huffed a laugh, nudging Dustin back. Okay, okay. I’ll pay for it, you little shit.
But Eddie gets Steve, too, Dustin thinks; that’s why he called him. And yeah, it’s different than the way Dustin understands Steve, but it’s significant enough for Eddie to make the cut of Steve Harrington Interpreters in Dustin’s mind.

Summary
“Because I loved him,” Steve said, the words coming out barely above a whisper.
Dustin blinked. “What?”
~
Steve Harrington had gotten good at pretending. It was practically a survival skill at this point— smile at the right moments, crack a joke when things got too heavy, be the guy everyone could count on. He’d been doing it since high school, and a year after Eddie Munson died in the Upside Down, he’d almost convinced himself it was working.
Almost.
The problem was Dustin Henderson.

Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.

Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

Summary
Eddie and Volt secretly make a pact to keep you for themselves. Sure, they will let you date around the house, have a little adventure or two, test the Dateviators to your liking. At the end of the day, you belong to them only.
Aka: Eddie and Volt love route and realization with a little (yandere) twist (is it a twist if Volt is very much a yandere for Eddie-). Eddie and Volt are in a relationship. Mostly canon-compliant, with a few speculations and events to fill some gaps (it’s a crime that there’s basically nothing after you romance them). Some lines are reused from different endings/choices bc why not. Reader is a bit mentally drained. Obviously spoilers for Eddie & Volt route, but also for: Amir, Doug, Rainey, Rebel, Tony (will update this and the tags as I keep writing).
Content Aware OFF!

Summary
‘Volt stares at Eddie for a while longer. Eddie keeps fighting the urge to stand and run, unable to handle this honesty. Volt brings out something in him that he doesn’t think he can unpack, quite yet.
Volt places his own warm, broad hand on top of Eddie’s. His fingers curl around it, and Eddie feels them trembling slightly.
“Thank you,” Volt whispers, his voice hoarse.
Then the dam breaks.
Tears stream down Volt’s face, silently at first but then punctuated by soft sounds that sound like stifled hiccups.’
Or
5 times you, Eddie, or Volt cried from sadness or pain, and 1 time you all cried from happiness.

"You scared the shit out of us," he muttered. Still working, still checking. "You didn’t just brush a line. That’s an exit burn. You’re lucky it didn’t arc through your ribs."
"You said ten minutes—" you whispered.
"I said ten minutes," Eddie repeated, "not 'go get electrocuted in the closet.'"
During a tropical storm, you decide to fix the fusebox alone. Bad idea. You get zapped. Now you’re burned, shaken, and both your boyfriends are furious.

Summary
The more Sebastian talked to you, the more he let you in. And the more he let you in, the more of him you saw. And the more of him you saw, the more of him you wanted to see.
That’s what liking is, you think. That’s why you say, I think.
Sebastian squints. Probably at a wayward semicolon that kept breaking the whole damn program. He rubs his eyes, pulls his hands away from his keyboard. “Did you say you like me?”
Shit.
Or, three times you think something about Sebastian, and one time you know it.
