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.)

Summary
Steve has always had an easy life. As the King of Hawkins High he’s desired, admired, and catered to - until everything starts falling apart. First Barb drowns in his pool, Nancy breaks up with him, and Max gets hurt on his watch. He starts to change, shedding his old ways and persona, as he deals with his shifting perspective.
Suddenly he’s getting into fights. He doesn’t care anymore about what he used to. Then he fails senior year.
Eddie is in the same boat, and has been watching Steve’s transformation, immediately feeling more drawn to this wilder, edgier version. He sees not only the changes but also how aimless he’s become. Wanting to reach out to him and facing his own uphill battles, Eddie proposes an unlikely arrangement.
He needs help with his out of town deals, and hires Steve as a bodyguard of sorts in exchange for a cut of the profits. Steve is eager to protect Eddie, not liking the bruises and cuts that he’s been acquiring, but he also wants…something else. He suggests that they trade sex for services.
Their arrangement shifts and changes, forcing them to confront their growing feelings, and becomes their main concern. Until Rick Lipton gets out of jail.

Summary
Steve gestured him down lower, like he was wanting to share a secret and Eddie supposed he was, in a way.
Eddie crouched down, hands out of his pockets, elbows on his knees, leaning a little further in, desperate to know, to learn, to have the thing that would finally put him in amongst the other archaeologists.
But then he didn’t even have a moment to react, a moment to think.His chin was grabbed in between firm fingers and he was pulled forward, sending him off balance, only barely managing to catch himself against the bars of the cell.
Eddie’s mouth was open in a gasp and his eyes were wide as a set of dry and chapped lips pressed against his own and there was the barest swipe of a tongue entering his mouth.
“You’ve got a deal.” Steve hissed, pulling back to speak into his mouth before it was all over and Steve was ripped away by the two guards behind him.

Summary
Steve buys a little rundown farmhouse after his parents pass. He collects abandoned and stray animals, ones with disabilities and high medical needs, because he has both the funds and the time to give them the best life they can possibly have. Then, somehow, he starts collecting kids, too, working with the foster system to give them a place to learn and grow. Adults, however, aren't really his forte, but when Jim Hopper calls in a favour, Steve can't help but agree.
It turns out that Eddie Munson, a rockstar famous for both his music and hedonistic lifestyle, is going to be Steve's next rescue.

Summary
Steve raised his hand to knock on the door, but it swings open before Steve even gets the chance.
Eddie Munson is shirtless, wearing nothing but boxers leaving his pale tattooed covered skin exposed. His long curly hair pulled up in a bun letting Steve do nothing but stare at that fucking lickable jawline (did Steve mention that he has a soulsucking, heart throbbing, gut twisting crush on Eddie yet) that is damp with sweat just like Steve’s. He looks paler than usual, because let's face it, Eddie has really pasty white skin normally. But one thing Steve doesn't fail to miss is the tent in Eddie’s boxers. His big brown eyes are different, pupils blown wide as he eyes Steve with nothing but hunger.
“Steve.” Eddie growls, and the dark tone of his voice makes Steve wet. Hot dripping slick running down his balls in his boxers. Shit.

He’s accepted now that he’s been cursed to live the rest of his life with Hargrove, but he’s not sure he’s ever going to understand why.

Summary
Steve knows that things in his life need to change- that he needs to change. Little does he know that change will come swinging into his life with the introduction of the Upside Down. Suddenly, his world isn't as small and meaningless as it had felt all his life. Nights alone at home or hosting jam-packed parties turn into hangouts with Jon and Nancy. His circle grows wider with the Party constantly asking for his company. He feels happy for the first time in his life. However, this all comes smacking to a halt as Halloween 1984 nears. Not only are Nancy and Jonathan now distant, but it seems that the Upside Down isn't behind them after all.
Steve doesn't know what to do with the gap in his life where Jon and Nancy used to be. They had been the ones to show him how to move on from the Popular persona he had put on for so long. In comes Eddie Munson- the boy Steve had been avoiding for so long. He was so different than anyone he had ever met. His eyes were naturally drawn to Eddie in a way that scared him. However, with an offered ride and some much-needed kindness, Eddie becomes a fixture of Steve's life in a way he never thought possible.

Summary
1974
Steve Harrington didn’t know what it was like to have a best friend until Eddie Munson.
He had friends at school, but he couldn’t really hang out with them during the summer.
But Eddie was always wandering in places he shouldn’t be, looking to get out of his house.
“My parents don’t like each other very much. It’s better out here,” he’d told Steve by the lake.
Technically, Steve wasn’t supposed to be here alone, and he was sure Eddie wasn’t either, but it seemed like both of them had parents who had better things to do than try to wrangle their children.
But if they were asked, and they never were, they weren’t alone. They had each other.

Summary
“What are the odds of us being here, together? After all the shit our parents put us through, after all the monsters, in spite of all the hate... Don't you think that it kinda had to be this way?” Steve says.
Eddie shrugs, something Steve feels more than that he sees it from his comfortable position on Eddie's chest.
“Maybe,” he says, but it sounds skeptical. “Or things just happen. No reason.”
“No reason?” Steve repeats. He can't help but sound a little bit incredulous.
Eddie's arm stretches out over Steve's waist and pulls him even closer.
“Just because there's no reason doesn't mean it's not meaningful, Stevie,” he points out.Or: Steve and Eddie are about to get married. It gives them the opportunity to contemplate the differences between destiny and agency, the multiverse, and what exactly it means to say "I do."

Summary
Her gaze caught Steve’s, “Apollo visited you already.”
Every muscle in Steve’s body grew taut, “How-” He began, only to be cut off by a shriek of laughter from Eddie.
“Apollo? The Greek God of the Sun?” Why would Eddie know about Apollo?
“It wasn’t a dream, Steven. It was a memory. Apollo always offers you the same deal.” She intoned, and Steve’s mind was in a whirlwind of chaos at her statement.
Because if that wasn’t a dream, if it was a memory then that would make…he swung his head around to look at Eddie and this time…this time he really looked because that would make him-
Steve’s soulmate.
Eddie should be dead right now. By all accounts, this was the end of the road for them. The kaleidoscopic feelings and memories began to fill in Steve’s mind and he knew. Knew that under other circumstances that what they’d had up to this point was all they usually got.

Summary
It was just a baseball.
Steve knew he shouldn't have gone into his neighbor's yard for that stupid baseball when he was twelve, but Tommy Hagen insisted. The worst, Steve thought would happened, would be that he got yelled by his parents. Not this through...not this hell....not this curse. From that day on, anyone who got within 20 feet of Steve Harrington, his friends, strangers, his own parents were overcome with rage and hatred for him.
And where rage and hatred festers, beratements and attacks soon follow.
One day, many years later Eddie Munson, a rather powerful, if not quirky and well-meaning Witch moves to town with his Uncle Wayne. Between hexing bigots and building magical artifacts, Eddie's determined to solve the mystery of the angel that lives in the cabin next to them in the woods.
But can Eddie help him? It's one thing to lift a curse, it's another to mend a body...and a soul.
**If you're looking for a super angsty, hurt/comfort fic where Steve's a hot wood worker and Eddie's a witch, all in an Autumn cabin core setting, look no further!**

Summary
***ON HIATUS***
Eddie Munson doesn't do relationships, not after the last one. Sex on the other hand. He loves sex. Too bad the people he sleeps with keep selling their stories to the press. And his record and ticket sales are way down.
After Steve has appeared as the gay romantic lead in two movies and is set to appear in another, the press and the public continue to accuse him of queerbaiting when he refuses to confirm his sexuality in interviews. And it doesn't seem to matter that he keeps telling people that's not what queerbaiting is.
Their managers agree that there's only one solution. They'll convince the press they're in a relationship and the harassment will stop. Just one problem, Steve and Eddie can't stand each other.
Desperate to save their careers, though, they agree. Except the harassment only gets worse as the press try to figure out how these two opposites attracted. Desperate to keep a hold of his privacy, Steve suggests a place they can get away. The town that raised him, where there's an unspoken rule that the press must not be called.
In the quiet cabin in the woods, can Steve and Eddie realise that away from flashing cameras, there might actually be something between them?Bookmarked by Celtrose
