Summary
"Your Instagram is kind of slutty, Steve."
"What?" he protests. "No it's not!"
Robin raises an eyebrow at him. "Steve, come on."
Or: Steve has a really slutty Instagram presence and it's kind of ruining Eddie's life. Also, Eddie would love Alice In Chains and I will die on that hill.

Summary
The descent is slow, like watching someone knock your mom’s favorite crystal vase off the shelf and the sheer horror and panic that overwhelms you and slows time down, makes you think that you can get across the room in time to catch it.
But you never do, do you?
The vase shatters and with it, so does every preconceived notion you have of yourself.
That’s what Steve learns.
He learns how to fall, gracefully even.
And in the end, he learns how to shatter.Or
Steve saves Eddie in the Upside Down and it's hilarious and it broke Steve wide open.
There is family, and oh god, there is so much love.

Summary
That's when Tommy realized he was, like, the worst fucking friend ever. Because Steve was an omega and they had learned in health class that omegas craved physical contact. And Steve, a secret male omega with shitty absentee parents, wasn’t getting any love at home and he couldn't exactly reach out and ask his buddies for some cuddles. No one but Tommy knew about him and Tommy sure as shit hadn't been offering to hold his hand.
So now here Steve was, getting a goddamn contact high because he was squished in between Davey Bower, who smelled like ball sweat and Cheetos, and Andrew Floyd, who looked like a fucking toe. But Steve was too blissed out on, like, happy omega hormones to care about that, and Tommy was the shittiest best friend in Hawkins.
Goddammit. Tommy was going to have to start giving Steve hugs. He was going to have to give him so many goddamn fucking hugs.
When Steve presents as a rare male omega he is forced to hide his status and question his worldview; he learns to be less shallow, more caring, and more open-minded. Tommy Hagan stays loyal to his best friend and is dragged kicking and screaming into being a better person too.
Just a little bit, though. Like, maybe 10% better.

Summary
Steve won’t ever be kept and cared for in the way he craves. He won’t ever be held like he’s something small and precious and breakable. He won’t ever be treated softly by virtue of his designation.
He won’t ever have kids in the way that he so desperately wants to.
He won’t ever be an omega.
And if he stays a beta, he can’t be Eddie’s true mate, either. He can’t be his mate at all: the bite won’t stick. The scar won’t manifest and neither will the bond. Their body chemistry won’t allow it. Any attempt at a claim will slide off of his skin like droplets of water and heal right up.
Genetically and physiologically incompatible.
𓆩⟡𓆪
In a world where alpha and omega presentations are triggered by the stress of traumatic events, Eddie Munson presents as an alpha the minute he’s dragged out of the Upside Down and into Hawkins Memorial Hospital.
Steve Harrington has been a beta his whole life.

Summary
The guards stop and shove Steve forward towards the man. He trips over his feet. Steve catches himself and stands tall. He’s a soldier, a leader, a royal prince. For now, it still means something.
The man coughs. “The king and queen of Loch Nora have been executed, the royal palace occupied, and victory declared. The royal troops of Loch Nora have been given the choice to swear loyalty to their new king or face exile. However, King Edward has not decided what to do with you.”
Steve knows two things: King Edward is an alpha and he has not taken a mate.
He sinks to the floor and prostrates himself. “I submit myself to King Edward’s rule, to be bitched and promised as his mate, and birth him an alpha heir.”
The silence that follows is choking.
Or: a Royalty Bitching AU
