Summary
The year is 2001 and a lot has changed.
Eddie’s a mechanic in Michigan, floating though his life in the only way he knows how-, casual survival. He’s still friends with Dustin, but he's been pretty out of touch with anything and anyone from Hawkins for almost fifteen years.
Of course, that was his own fault. Who lets one night of their lives, one admittedly intimate night of their lives-, change the whole course of their future?
But one call from Dustin changes everything overnight. Forever feeling guilty for skipping town, Eddie is convinced to return to Hawkins where he finally faces his biggest fear-, finding out that what was supposed to be the most monumental mistake of his life never needed to be carried around like the burden that it never was.

Summary
Max Mayfield was up to something. She’d popped over on Sunday to ask for flour. Then again on Tuesday. Now it was Wednesday and here she was on Eddie’s front porch again.
“I need to borrow 2 cups of flour,” she said flatly, holding the same red plastic mixing bowl she’d been holding the last two times.
“Wow, no ‘Hi Eddie, you’re such a great neighbour, how are you doing’? This is the third time this week you’ve asked for flour. What the hell are you baking and why are you baking it in such high quantities?” Eddie crossed his arms, leaning on the door frame of his trailer.
Or:
5 times Max & Eddie try to bake a cake for Steve and 1 time there is no baking at all (look this really spiralled out of hand and my original 5 1 didn't fit anymore)

Summary
Being Robin Buckley is possibly the hardest job in the world. Especially when she always plays the understudy for Nancy Wheeler, both on stage and off. She sits next to Steve Harrington in the big auditorium, staring up at the stage where the auditions for Anastasia are happening. Eddie Munson is on stage singing some song from a super obscure musical, one that probably only Eddie and Murray know.
She doesn’t know why she auditions at this point, she knows what she’s going to get: some random comic relief character of no importance. She gets why, she’s awkward, unlike Nancy, and she’s certainly not as gorgeous as her. Speaking of the leading lady herself, Nancy sits with her knees to her chest, earbuds in both ears that probably are playing some audition song that shows that she’s the highest soprano in the history of sopranos and a look of concentration mixed with determination on her perfect face. The girl doesn’t even bother to watch her best friend audition.

Eddie sits back down across from Max and tries to wrack his brain for an intelligent thing to say.

Max snorts. “But isn’t it fucked up either way?”
“Welcome to Hawkins, Red,” Eddie says dryly. “We’re all fucked up here.”
OR
On a Sunday morning, Eddie and Max talk about survivor's guilt, cycles of abuse, and good ways to feel big.

Summary
Steve and Eddie were really not that good at hiding their relationship (Robin swears they’re not even trying, which Eddie is always indignant about). Thankfully, they have the best party ever (and the most metal). The two never really worried about how the kids would react to them both being dudes (except it’s the 80s, they had to worry at least a little bit). The real concern was how it would disrupt their balance. None of them were good at accepting change, especially when it came to who was closer to who.
The boys did plan on telling the party, they really did. The kids just beat them to it.
or: 5 times Steddie were found out, and one time they told someone

Summary

Summary
Steve’s parents stopped coming home for Christmas in the winter of 1979.
After that, he always spent Christmas at the Hagans, until he imploded his friendship with Tommy just before the Christmas of 1983.
He spends that year with the Wheelers and the Christmas of '84 with the Hendersons.
The next year, when Dustin tells him that he's going out of town to visit his Aunt, Steve gears up for his first Christmas truly alone. That is, until he receives a phone call from Lucas Sinclair and ends up spending it with the most unlikely of people.
OR
Steve somehow ends up celebrating the Christmas of 1985 with Max and Eddie 'the Freak' Munson and it just might be his favorite Christmas yet.

Summary
Eddie doesn’t know why he’s working at Scoops Ahoy in Starcourt Mall. It’s very mostly because he and his uncle have been short of money and because he wants to punish himself for not graduating senior year the second year around. His uncle’s always saying that it’s okay, that he can manage. But Eddie can’t help but owe his uncle so much, so he can endure scooping ice creams in a mall full of people.
or: stranger things if Eddie worked in scoops and was present during all the chaos of s3.
The world revolves around Eddie Munson (especially from Steve's world).(The first two chapters r just rewrites of s3)

Summary
“250 bucks says,” Henderson yelled, exhilarated, “you can in no fucking way ㅡ pick up ㅡ a hot guy ㅡ dressed as a girl.” His voice cracked with the bliss of exploration.
“Alright you sick little squirrel,” Eddie said monotonously, “I’m in.”
