Summary
“Wait,” Steve grabs Eddie's hand before he flies away. “Stay?” His eyes are worn and a hint of fear shimmers underneath.
“This is really scary,” he admits. “I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t know when I’ll suddenly disappear. Maybe I’ll just disappear for good? It’d be nice if there was someone familiar around. Plus,” Steve adds with a weary grin, “you were probably busy before I intruded.”
He peers around Eddie to nod at the desk that he'd been standing next to. Eddie hears an echo of disappear for good and thinks that maybe he wants to watch over Steve while he sleeps too, make sure that he doesn’t pop out of existence under Eddie’s nose.
In 1984, Eddie finds himself in front of a rugged version of the preppy jock he’s only peripherally aware of at school. Compelled by Steve's tale of time travel, Eddie invites him to hide in his trailer until he can return to his proper place and time in 1986.

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.

Summary
“Are you going to leave?” Steve’s back is to him, so Eddie can see the way he tenses up, muscles beneath his plain black shirt bunching up.
It’s not: are you leaving before I pick up Max?
He could be difficult, if he wanted. He could ask Steve to clarify, he could ask Steve if he’s ever planning to leave. He could stand up and just do it, putting them both out of their misery. One day they might be better off for it, even if the hurt is too much to stand right now. Even if it feels impossible.
“Not right now,” Eddie says, which sounds a lot like not without you.
“Okay,” Steve says, which sounds a lot like thank you.
98% of the population disappears. Hawkins becomes a ghost town.
Or: three years after, Steve, Eddie and Max try to carve out a life together.

Summary
The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.
Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.
Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.

Summary
In the spring of 1985, sleep-deprived and semi-reformed mean girl Stevie Harrington sees Eddie Munson in the cafeteria and thinks, ‘That could work.’
The rest is, as they say, a coming of age.
“So? Do you like anyone right now?” Max asks.
“I don’t, not like that. I don’t exactly have a ton of options right now."
Stevie has to actively push Eddie out of her mind — a specific image of him from the lakehouse. Sleep rumpled as the afternoon light streamed through the shutters, he kissed her forehead and called her sweetheart. They spent a full night and day at the lake-side cabin of Eddie’s shifty friend. Stevie cooked for them. Eddie played his guitar for her. It was an escape — a castle in the sky.
