EM: Okay, you get one question.
P: How do you feel about the gay rumours?
EM: No particular way. Is there a way I’m supposed to be feeling?
P: Well, are they right?
EM: About what? They’ve theorised a lot.
P: About you and Steve Harrington?
EM: Yes. Yes, a lot of it is about us. Sun’s in my eyes, gotta dash, man.Series

Summary
Eddie collects the coffee from a hipster coffee shop on the corner–– why is it six dollars for a cup of juice? And why is it tangerine juice? What happened to good old orange?–– and starts to head back to his store.
He turns the corner and slams bodily into someone. The overpriced tangerine juice goes flying, spilling all down the front of the man that Eddie’s slammed into.
“Oh, Jesus!” says the man.
Eddie panics. “Oh, shitfuck, I’m so sorry. Here, let me help.” He pulls a bundle of paper napkins from his pocket and presses them to the chest of the man, trying to soak up the juice.
The man’s chest is very firm. Eddie looks up, finally catching sight of who he’s slammed into, and holy motherfuck it’s Steve fucking Harrington again.
Steve is a famous actor. Eddie runs a game store. After an incident involving orange juice, an unlucky romance blossoms between them. Notting Hill AU.

Summary
There are worse ways to discover you have a soulmate, probably.
Steve can’t think of any, but there are.
OR
The “soulmates share pain” AU where the bond kicks into action and the only thing Steve can think is: that’s what bats feel like. And he knows exactly what that means.

Summary
Eddie hasn't spoken to Gareth and the others since whatever went down with Chrissy Cunningham, now Gareth sees him playing basketball with Steve Harrington and a bunch of kids, what the fuck is going on?
Sinclair sighs longingly.
“Okay, man, I can get behind you on the sweet and salty,” says Gareth, “but New Coke?”
“He was crazy for it,” says Harrington, grinning all fond at the back of Sinclair’s head like he’s retelling the story of his toddler’s foray into the world of art and talking Gareth through all the monstrosities in pride of place on the fridge. “Weird kid.”
Eddie is smiling at the side of Harrington’s face and Jesus Christ, Gareth never wants to meet another gay man in his whole life if their taste is Steve fucking Harrington.

Summary
When Steve gets trapped in the Upside Down, Vecna offers him a deal: become lieutenant of the monster armies and gain some of Vecna’s power, in exchange for being the bait to lure his friends back to rescue him. Steve takes the deal, believing wholeheartedly in the Party’s ability to save him and finally kill Vecna, but discovers quickly that his power to infiltrate the memories and dreams of people in the real world is very limited; in fact, he can only visit one person in his new monster form.
Thus begins Steve’s haunting of Eddie Munson, who, coincidentally, has been in love with Steve since they started secretly hooking up after a Halloween party in 1984.
Or: Steve is Kas, and also Eddie's secret boyfriend.

Summary
Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.
He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.
(Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

His bed was familiar, comfortable, warm. He never wanted to leave it. To face this town ever again.
So he just...didn’t get up.
He never imagined who would have the biggest problem with that decision to succumb.
----
After Eddie is humiliated at graduation by the town who still believes him to be the murderer, he breaks. He recluses.
Steve isn't taking his shit for a second, and he's not letting Eddie's fire burn out. -

Summary
The man standing next to Nancy blinks, eyebrows rising as he scans the room.
“Wow,” he says in a shockingly deep voice. “I…was not expecting everyone to be here.”No one else says anything. Steve thinks maybe he did get drugged again because what the fuck? This guy sure looks like Steve, if he was older and with an impressive scruff of beard. But this guy’s muscled, with jagged scars peppering the skin not covered by his t-shirt. Surely it can’t be.
“Holy hell,” Robin breathes. “Time shit.”
AKA: Season 4, but this time the universe gives the gang an unexpected heads-up.
