    Summary

    If Eddie had known that sharing his New York City art studio with Robin would include her buddy Steve, he never would’ve offered it in the first place. There. He said it. If that makes him a bad friend, so be it.

    Because Steve is around all the time. Pastel and prissy. Sculpted from marble, yet dressed like a Macy’s mannequin. Always hovering.

    They got Robin’s potters wheel up the stairs last week, a three man effort he can still feel in his lower back, and now she’s fucking teaching him. Full on, arms wrapped around his waist, hands guiding hands. Someone grab him a bucket, ‘cause Eddie’s about to throw up.

    He’s not even good at it. Steve can barely get the hump of clay centered on the wheel and he refuses to get stains on his clothes. It’s fucking clay. It comes out in the wash. Steve’s shirtless approach to pottery is borderline offensive to the arts.

    Summary

    “Which of you morons,” she hisses, “let Eddie log into twitter today?”
    Eddie blinks.
    “How do you-”
    “Because, Eddie- you commented using the band account. You logged in on our official socials.”
    Eddie stares at her dumbly. Then-
    “Oh fuck.”
    “Yes,” she agrees. “Oh fuck.”
    “I’ll- delete that, then,” he laughs nervously. “Before-”
    “Before someone picks up on it, screenshots it, begins distributing it across the internet at a frankly alarming pace and starts a series of hashtags up in an effort to find the ‘pretty boy’ gardener you were lusting over?”

    ---

    Eddie is a burnt-out-overworked-crash-and-burn-rockstar with a crippling twitter addiction. Steve is a chronically-offline-homegrown-indiana-boy-flowershop-owner with a green thumb and a penchant for taking in strays.
    So naturally when Eddie first sees him, he's head over heels. And Steve has no clue what his day job is.
    He'll tell Steve about his 'real' identity before things go too far- right?

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    If one true thing can be said about Jayce then it is this: he means what he says and says what he means. Heart on his sleeve beating loudly for all to hear. Once, Viktor had tapped on his shoulder and told him: Here. Here is where your heart is.

    Summary

    The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.

    But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.

    He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.

    And there’s also Viktor.

    Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably

    Summary

    Steve rolled onto his side and studied Eddie's face. The slope of his nose and the outline of his jaw, where dark stubble grew in patches.

    “What's it like?” Steve asked. “Kissing another guy?”

    Summary

    Eddie is laughing at something Robin had said; head tossed back, smiling wide enough to dimple his cheeks, eyes crinkling at the corners. He’s bracketed by sunlight, looking soft and inviting in the golden rays. His eyeliner is smudged messily at the corners of his eyes, hands clapped together at his sternum, bracelets and rings glittering.

    Steve looks at him, and watches, and lets himself drown in Eddie’s radiance and vibrancy and beauty, and thinks-

    Oh.

    Oh.

    I love him.

    *****

    Or, Eddie flirts. Steve pines. Neither one of them could be more obvious if they tried.

    Summary

    Later, as he was sitting on the toilet, he remembered what Steve had said: February. The wedding was in February. Eddie checked his phone, confirming his suspicion.

    December 10th, 2023.

    “Fuck,” he swore softly, and then again, “Fuck.”

    A little over two months until Steve said I do, binding himself to a total stranger. Eddie wasn’t about to let his best friend get snatched up by someone who was likely not good enough for him, let alone someone Eddie had never heard of. Steve was too kind to be taken advantage of like that — too special.

    How things had ended up as they had, Eddie couldn’t be sure, but one way or another, he was going to get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    Steve is incapable of not taking care of the people he cares about. And against all odds, he cares about Eddie.

    Eddie has never been taken care of. Not like that.

    Summary

    A few months after Starcourt, Steve moves out of his parents' house and into a friend of a friend's empty RV. What follows is a long six months of unintentional minimalism, scraping by on two bucks an hour, and staring at the specter that haunts the other side of the trailer park. Meanwhile, Robin gets a song stuck in her head.

    A season four rewrite.

    Summary

    Steve doesn't know what the invisible force that attacked him in the woods is, but he does know three things for sure: that Robin's cryptid podcast is somehow making more money than his Scoops Ahoy manager job; that every seven years something crawls out of a network of tunnels underneath the woods outside of Hawkins, and now it's out for revenge; and that it would be really nice if poltergeists would stop beating him up when he's trying to flirt with the local ghost whisperer.

    Summary

    The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.

    In the middle of the night, reeling from bad dreams, Steve properly starts on the mixtape Eddie made for him. Master of Puppets made Eddie feel invincible once. Maybe Steve can borrow that feeling for one night.

    Summary

    There’s a bottle on his neck and a boy pressed against him.

    Steve should be terrified. He’s shoved higher up the wall he’s pinned to, the boy’s eyes wild beneath his tangled mess of hair, his breath all rasp and spit and fear.

    The bottle presses closer, harder, almost enough to break skin.

    Steve knows it won’t, though, because this isn’t the first time he’s been here.

     

    Or, Steve keeps finding himself back in the boathouse where everything started, wrapped up in the arms of a boy who can’t stop dying. Saving him means ending his torment, and it also means falling in love.

    Summary

    After his breakup with Nancy, Steve Harrington keeps it a secret that he hasn’t made an effort to meet his soulmate. When he accidentally wakes up next to them a few days after his 18th birthday, he’s surprised to find that it’s not only another guy, but somebody else in Hawkins. Between losing all his old friends, learning how not to be an asshole, and balancing his newfound sexuality in a closed-minded town, Steve has his work cut out for him. Eddie Munson doesn’t believe in soulmates, but that doesn’t stop him from waiting in the dreamscape every night for his. Balancing life as an openly queer, drug-dealing super senior in Hawkins, Indiana is no cakewalk, especially with Billy Hargrove on his ass. But maybe, just maybe, there’s something to that whole soulmate thing after all.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

    No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.

    Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.

    Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.

    The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.

    And yet.

    On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.

    “Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”

    Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.

    “Uncle Wayne?”

    Summary

    “Your heart’s racing,” Steve noted, quietly.

    Eddie laughed. It was more of a shaky exhale, lashes fluttering as he struggled to keep his composure. “Stevie,” he whispered, fingers cradling Steve’s side like he was precious. “Yeah, no fucking shit.”

    OR: Ma Henderson & Wayne Munson get cosy, Dustin makes an off-hand remark, and Steve spirals. It works out in the end.

    Summary

    “Alright, listen. You want to romance Max? It’s easier said than done.” When Lucas’s face falls, Steve is quick to tack on, “But it is doable. There are steps. Six of them.” He spreads his hands theatrically, bending a little at the waist as if setting the scene.

    or: Lucas needs love advice, Dustin & Robin despair, and Steve's a regular Casanova.
