Summary
Steve's parents always locked their hearts in a safe in his dad's study at night.
For as long as Steve can remember, he watched them do it, pulling their hearts out of their chests and tucking them away in the safe in an easy, practiced motion - like a dance, like something they did without even thinking about it.
He liked it, liked watching them move in unison. It made him daydream about his own partner in the future, how they could move in sync with each other, anticipating each other's every movement and not having to say a thing to know what the other wanted.
Even his parents’ hearts were similar. They were both the same pale pink, bisected with only a few silver scars, and though they didn't quite beat in unison, it was close enough that Steve's young eyes didn't notice the difference.
“One day,” his dad always said. “When you're old enough, your heart will go in here, too. When you're trained to be separated from it, when you're grown up.”
Steve wanted to be grown up more than anything.
But his heart never looked like theirs.
—
Or, Steve's journey in letting himself be folded into a family of his own making, and finding the kind of love that will last forever.

Summary
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
No, wait. That’s not right. That’s Hitchhiker's Guide. Or was it Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Whatever, not important.
Eddie Munson died on March 27th, 1986.
Except…he didn’t. He couldn’t have. Because Eddie Munson is currently arguing with himself in his fucking head about sci-fi quotes, which doesn’t feel especially like something that a dead person would have the capacity to do.
The bats had killed him. There had been pain, and the sick sensation of tearing flesh. He’d had to swallow past a mouthful of his own blood to tell Henderson he loved him. Surely those were symptoms of imminent death.
And yet.
On April 1st, 1986, Eddie Munson opens his eyes in a dim hospital room. There’s a gasp from his left, and he tries to turn his head towards the source.
“Easy there, kid. They’ve got you trussed up pretty good.”
Eddie doesn’t need to see him. He’d know that voice anywhere, in any universe, hell dimension or otherwise.
“Uncle Wayne?”
A story about the families we find and the love that finds us.

Summary
Eddie is beginning to think that, somewhere in the helter-skelter of surviving the Upside Down, being swarmed by possibly rabid but definitely rancid demobats, and charbroiling Vecna’s slimy ass, he accidentally tripped through the wrong gate and landed in an alternate dimension. Well, a different alternate dimension than the one he was already in.
Because Steve Harrington is flirting with him.

Summary
Chicago's a big city.
Eddie's been day dreaming about the runner he sees a few mornings during the week, copper hair and windswept cheeks as he flashes a smile towards Eddie and passes by. A moment there and gone just as quick.
Who knew Dustin showing off his new tattoo could shake up Eddie's life.
Chicago's a big city; until it really isn't.
