Summary
Steve Harrington kind of had a thing for hands. Eddie’s hands to be specific.
Eddie’s hands —
in the upside down, gripped tightly around a bike handle, throwing Steve his vest, and then resting limply in Dustin’s hand, caked in blood and dirt and Dustin’s falling tears, and still even in impending death they were Eddie’s hands and they were beautiful.
Or: A series of snapshots of Steve and Eddie's growing connection, and how they found their way to each other.

Summary
Under a much different circumstance, Eddie would have loved to have Steve’s eyes looking over him like that, would love to have that determination focused on him, but Eddie is very much dying, he knows it, so he smiles at Steve’s misplaced confidence instead, “High expectations, Stevie. Where’d you learn to swing like that anyway?”
“I’ll tell you,” Steve’s voice is a bit shaky, his tone wavering, even as he puts on a brave face, “but you have to stay alive, Munson.”
If he had more strength, he’d consider testing his luck one last time, tease Steve by asking if he swings for Eddie’s team, but- he’s tired.
Dying young. What a fucking nightmare.
Or, what if the Party defeats Vecna in time, and Eddie lives?

Summary
Eddie never thought that he would end up hanging out with Steve, let alone driving twelve hours across multiple state lines with him. He can't quite figure out why Steve offers to go, but he's pretty sure it's going to kill him.
***
This is quite simply an excuse to write eight thousand words of flirty banter because we didn't get enough of it in the show. -

Summary
Fuck Eddie Munson for dying for a town that never cared about him.
Fuck Eddie Munson for leaving the people that did.
--
Eddie comes to with a gasp, followed by the most pathetic coughing fit you’ve ever heard because of the ash he’s just ingested.

Summary
“Goddamn,” Eddie kind of shouts, but kind of growls; he’s not entirely in control of the way his voice is shaping words. “You little twits talked about him like a minor god when I first met you, and then here you are, all,” he gestures wildly at the gathered…all of them before he asks maybe the question with the actual point:
“Do you even know whether you love him or you hate him?”
In their defense, after they stop being stunned-silent, they start looking fucking angry. Dustin looks downright appalled.
“What?”

Or: Steve Harrington isn’t just the best thing to happen to Eddie Munson. He’s kinda the best fucking thing, period. And the fact that he doesn’t seem to realize it, himself? Is a fucking tragedy.
So, yeah: Eddie sure as hell does make it his single-minded mission to ensure everyone around them makes a point to stop talking shit and let Steve know what he means; how much he is loved.
Because all of Eddie’s own—perfectly valid—biases about his absolute revelation of a boyfriend aside: it’s literally the least these dipshits can do.

Summary
It’s been months that they’ve been away. Months since they’ve stepped through the front door into the boring entryway, through the boring hallway, into the boring kitchen. With no greeting, no Hi, Steve, how’ve you been? No We missed you, how are your friends? What happened with the earthquakes and the serial killer? Are you okay?
Nothing.
A comment about the dirt on Steve’s car, and the dull floor tiles, and Steve’s future career. He wonders if they even know what color his eyes are.

Steve's parents come home, and Steve is tired of feeling like a little boy, of being treated like he's a fly on the fucking wall.
He goes home with Eddie.
Who treats him the way he deserves. -

Summary
"You look like you've been mauled, dude," says Lucas. Then, after a beat, "Oh, ew."
"What the fuck," says Dustin, cottoning on, "What the fuck. This is hell, you didn't."
"Oh, I did," says Eddie, with the air of someone who's won something. He looks like the proverbial cat who's got the canary, if the canary wore polos and listened to Blondie.
"Shut up," Steve mutters, flushing as he seems to register what's happening, "Guys, it's not what you--uh, this isn't what it looks like--"
Or, five times Dustin Henderson was subjected to Eddie Munson being gross and sappy and in love with Steve Harrington, and one time Steve didn't even have to be there.

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.
Or: Eddie & Steve fall in love, before Christmas but not too fast.
