Summary
After Nancy and Barbara leave his house, Steve is sitting next to his pool when he hears a low, unnatural chittering behind him.
He finds Will Byers a few hours later, his torn shirt covering the three long gashes the Demogorgon's claws left behind.

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
(Steddie Bigbang #177)
Listen. Steve Harrington knew that he had some sins to pay for, okay? He was kind of a stuck-up shit for most of high school and while he didn’t go out of his way to, like, ruin anybody’s day – cough, cough, Tommy Hagan – he also didn’t really reach out to anyone who needed help either. But he’s done the work to be better! Granted, a lot of the work consisted of him getting beaten up and/or tortured by other people while protecting a group of unthankful little shitheads, but it’s still progress. And, not to brag, but he got Robin Buckley as a best friend out of the whole thing, so really, Steve Harrington’s not doing so bad on the whole “redemption” thing, thank you. So why, why does the universe continue to torment him?
(Or, in the fall of 1985, Steve Harrington joins Hellfire and everything changes.)

Summary
“I think Eddie Munson flirted with me today.”
Robin chokes on her drink.
“That’s what I said to her too,” Stevie mumbles.
“Excuse me?” Robin rasps, clearly trying not to cough. “Eddie Munson? World-famous, grammy-nominated rockstar with like, three studio-albums under her belt? That Eddie Munson?”
(Or, when a rockstar starts frequenting the coffee shop Stevie works at, she's as starstruck as she is gay. Chaos ensues.)

Summary
In 1986, Vecna wins, turning Hawkins into a dystopian nightmare. Six months later, Steve―a hardened alpha―is sent by some primordial being back to the past. October 1983, to be exact: a time before Will went missing, before Barb was killed, before Nancy broke up with him…before he even presented as an alpha.
At first he’s thrilled at this new chance to change the future, but soon he realizes that it’s a lot tougher than he expected. Altering the past comes with unexpected consequences, and soon Steve finds himself holding on for dear life as things get more and more out of control.
In the middle of all of this, one question keeps nagging at his brain: why is Eddie Munson acting so weird?

Summary
Because here's the thing: Eddie Munson has always been weird. Since Steve first saw him his freshman year, weird. But Steve Harrington has always liked him.
Eddie was older, and cooler, and everything Steve wasn't. For the longest time Steve just called it jealousy, called it anger. He called it anything other than what it actually was: a crush.

Summary
“Steve,” Eddie repeats softly. Steve’s eyes look into his, shining like he’s already there, like he’s already floating. “If you want something, you gotta ask for it.”
Steve’s eyes flutter, and he looks like he wants to let out a whine, glancing across Eddie’s face again like he’s forgotten where they are.
“Fuck me,” he says weakly, and the words crawl under Eddie’s skin like they belong there. “Please. Will you please fuck me?”
//
or; Steve and Eddie start hooking up and it makes them both happier than it should.

Summary
Just as he begins to untangle his headphones, small hands with messy purple nail polish land on his leg.
He looks up. In front of him stands a little—kid, with dark hair that frames their face with tight little curls. Their hair is haphazardly pulled back with bright green clips and their dinosaur shirt hangs baggy on their thin shoulders. No older than six, they examine him with huge, dark eyes. He cocks his head and smiles as the child mimics him.
“Samwise the Brave, what have I said about running away from Daddy like that, huh?”
He looks up from the brown eyes in front of him and meets a nearly-identical pair.
He blinks. “Eddie?”
Eddie Munson, nine years older, hair just as long, curling around his shoulders—those are broader than they to be—blinks back. “Steve?”---
eddie munson and his two adorable daughters sit next to steve on a flight from san francisco to chicago. a lot changes in those four hours.

Summary
When Eddie gets a message on instagram from an account claiming to be the famous pop-star Steve Harrington, he knows immediately it's a catfish. He's not dumb. The account has no pictures and people like Steve Harrington don't just randomly DM guys like Eddie.
Still. What would be the harm in letting it play out? It's not dangerous if he knows he's being catfished. No, if he knows about it, then it's basically like a fun little roleplay. No harm, no foul.
(Eddie is not, in fact, being catfished)

Summary
A year before Will Byers disappears, when Steve is 16 years old, he dreams of the Upside Down. The dream, a warning, means that high school plays out differently. Steve learns ahead of time who he actually wants to be, what to care about, and that he can be brave about a lot of things he wouldn’t expect--including Eddie Munson.

This is my excuse to rewrite Steve Harrington at Hawkins High, who deserves to feel true friendship and to play Dungeons and Dragons. And, of course, a nice love story with Hawkins’ hottest.- Language:

Summary
Eddie turned his head at the sound, eyes widening when he saw the man behind the deep voice. Oh, he was cute. Real cute for a bartender. He may have even been the cutest thing Eddie had seen all year, maybe longer.
Now this was the type of guy Eddie was looking for. And from the looks of his cute little pride pin next to his name tag on his vest, he had some good odds of getting into his pants. A Steve, huh? The name suited him, with that all American hunk thing he had going on. The exact kind of guy that Eddie loved to fuck into the mattress until they cried.
He'd do just fine.

Summary
Steve knows he’s a monster.
It’s always been in his head that he’s a freak, something cruel and unforgiving and something that can’t get into its own goddamn pool because he still feels the dark pressure of the Upside Down just beyond it, the vengeful eyes of Barbara Holland inside it. He still feels like he’ll take off his shirt and the dark imprints of his wings, just inches under the skin of his back, will be tattooed on him like a brand for all his new family to see. And he’s terrified of that most of all ‒ the unshakeable imprint of every monstrous thing he is, every terrible thing he’s done, permanent and glaring in the faces of everything anyone knows about Steve ‘the hair’ Harrington.
Or, Steve Harrington is eighteen years old, and he loves.

Summary
This is a story about Steve trying to fix himself the only way he knows how–by himself and with no support. It's how he's grown up and how he lives and he doesn't know any other way. The short version is: Steve is too paranoid and traumatized to live in his house anymore and burns it to the ground, then he moves into a trailer in the trailer park, then he gets to know his neighbor–one Eddie Munson. A lot more than just that happens, but you'll have to read to find out what!

Summary
Look, Eddie was a simple man. He wanted simple things.
And if a simple man glances up while making his way back along a tabletop after he gave a —quite frankly, riveting— monologue against compulsory sports, and see's the sight that is Steve Harrington wide eyed, mouth parted, with a strong blush spread over his face… then the simple man is falling right back under the spell. Luckily, he doesn't actually fall. Mostly just stumbles a little while getting back to his chair.
----
Steve Harrington enters his senior year of high school with a pathetic crush on resident freak, Eddie Munson. And his pretty, pretty hair. With no other way to express it, he come up with a plan.

Summary
Steve Harrington is secretly a nerd. He's also, in Eddie's opinion, a massive dick. (Or: five times nobody but Eddie believes that Steve is a giant nerd, and one time he tells everyone else.)
“Oh, you’re kidding, I love that book,” says Steve Harrington.
Eddie wonders, for about half a second, if he’s somehow fallen into a different dimension. He stares down at the battered copy of 'The Silmarillion' just in case he’s accidentally been reading like… whatever jocks read, a basketball like — handbook, or whatever. He isn’t. It’s still 'The Silmarillion'. Eddie looks up at Steve Harrington, who is standing at the bottom of the stairs Eddie is sitting on, sunlight in his hair, sneakers shifting awkwardly on the tarmac of the school yard. “Uh-huh,” Eddie says, sort of dumbly.
