Everybody's Talkin' | 2,273 | beetlesandstars / @beetlesandstarss

Summary: "This is just– bullshit!” Eddie yells. You’re bullshit. Oh. Eddie’s face changes then. Goes from livid and scared, to something worried, regretful.

Between The Lines | 2,486 | hitlikehammers / @hitlikehammers

Summary: “We need to talk.” Wayne wonders if this is the tone of voice the kid uses to fight the monsters they don’t talk about. “Say again?”

bet. | 2,835 | starryeyedjanai / @starryeyedjanai

Summary: "You need me to, to kiss you?" the guy asks, and this was a bad idea, the worst idea Robin's ever had. There's no way he's going to agree to this. "So, my friend-" he stops, looking back at Robin - she waves at them. He's trying so hard not to blush as he turns back to the guy and says, "She bet me that I couldn't get a guy to kiss me since it's my first time here. So I was wondering if you would kiss me, so I can win the bet." He's steeling himself for rejection, for this guy to tell him to fuck off or maybe have mercy and let him down gently by telling him he's taken. But he just smiles, tilting his head at Steve. "Why me?"

Indecent | 2,991 | NotEvenCloseToStraight / @not-close-to-straight

Summary: Steve was adorable wearing Eddie’s clothes. He was stupidly sexy wearing Eddie’s clothes. Steve was unfairly breaking Eddie’s brain wearing his clothes and it was just downright indecent. “Steve.” Eddie swallowed hard and lowered his voice. “Steve, go change.” “What?” Steve’s nose wrinkled when he frowned. “Why?” “Go change.” “But I’m comfortable.” “Go. Change.” “Eddie, I don’t understand--” “PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME!” Eddie planted his feet and pointed violently at the crop top. “SO HELP ME STEVE HARRINGTON!”

Please see below for more recommendations!

something so pretty | 3,087 | cranberrymoons / @cranberrymoons

Summary: Eddie raises Steve's hand to brush a kiss over his knuckles, then catches him around the waist again, swaying them back and forth to the rhythm of a Bangles song coming from the radio. “I said you look pretty, and I meant it. Deal with it.” Steve feels a reluctant smile pull at the corners of his mouth. “Really?”

abyss kiss | 3,145 | beetlesandstars / @beetlesandstarss

Summary: Steve stands as if frozen, letting everything churning inside simmer to a slow boil. He wishes suddenly, desperately, that he’d stayed with Robin. He doesn’t know when they’re meant to regroup. He doesn’t know anything. A shuddering breath leaves his lips, in such a rush he feels light-headed. He puts a hand on the wall, trying to plant his feet, trying to fucking think, but the world is turning too quickly, and he’s spinning, spinning, spinning–

Doing it for science (not really) | 3,181 | corrodedbisexual (mishabawlins) / @corrodedbisexual

Summary: The last thing Eddie expected to see in his life was Steve Harrington, comfortably laid back on his bed, fidgeting with a condom wrapper.

Flagging Your Attention | 3,391 | starsdontsleep

Summary: Eddie spots a scrap of material sticking out the back of Steve’s pocket during a party and he has to know; is the guy he desperately wants actually flagging?

Black Dog Sin | 3,668 | grumpyhedgehogs

Summary: Vecna raises Eddie to bring about ruin to those left in Hawkins. Things don't go as planned.

Your skin and bones turn into something beautiful (You know I love you so) | 4,209 | ChristinMKay / @transmascsteveharrington

Summary: Steve Harrington is born with a scream on his lips and so much love in his being that his body is covered in it. An abundance of moles, freckles, and birthmarks are speckled across his skin, painting him in constellations and stardust and affection. The nurses and doctors are congratulating Steve’s parents as they place him in the arms of his mother. They say he is blessed. Lived so many lives filled with people who loved him so much that the press of their lips against his skin had to echo through time and leave a mark.

and i don't want the world to see me ('cause I don't think that they'd understand) | 4,499 | mcdynamite

Summary: Steve Harrington has had a lot of sex. He's not, like, trying to brag about it, or anything. Frankly, he's not even sure it's something he would want to brag about in the first place. It's just an objective fact. The sky is blue. The Earth is round. Water is wet. And Steve Harrington has had a lot of sex. Which is...well, a little bit bizarre, considering the fact that he's not entirely convinced he actually enjoys it most of the time.

Apple Pie (Baked Just Right) | 4,635 | ParadimeShifts / @paradimeshifts7

Summary: Outside, Eddie is standing on his front step, his hair tied loosely back in a knot, clad in nothing but a pair of jeans and a faded t-shirt. And balanced in his hands is…Steve guesses it’s supposed to be a pie. The crust is all fucked up, looks a little like the puckered expanse of Eddie’s hip. It’s the most beautiful pie Steve’s ever seen.

color me in danger | 4,755 | SolariaLunar21 / @likewolveswerunwild

Summary: The first time Eddie remembers a major change in the color of his meter he’s 11 years old. For most of his life the bar on his wrist has sat firmly in the green sometimes on very rare occasions darkening to a green blue color. That is until that day when he’s 11 and he watches it change to yellow for the first time.

Play It Cool | 4,972 | BoudicaMuse / @spinmewriteround

Summary: The title of the video reads “CORRODED COFFIN AT LIVE NATION ARENA COVERS…” The band name sounds vaguely familiar, and he thinks they might be some mid-level rock band, or maybe they're punk. Not Steve’s thing at all, he couldn't name one of their songs with a gun to his head. Whatever they’re covering is cut off, but he can guess. "I'm really not in the mood for this." “Trust me, you’re going to love it.”

breakfast in bed (kisses for me), love can make you sing | 6,307 | luxeberries

Summary: The first thing he registers is Eddie. The second thing he registers is Eddie is wearing his sweater. The third thing is Dustin Henderson, sitting on the kitchen counter. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

Bad News First, Eddie | 9,618 | alittleoff

Summary: "Bad news, good news? I don't know man, the news is I could have loved you." Steve talks to Eddie Munson's headstone in the cemetery. Life goes on, sorta.

The Courtship of Eddie Munson | 10,437 | AnnetheCatDetective

Summary: After a couple of terrifying but illuminating trips through the Upside Down, Steve is determined to be the best boyfriend ever to Eddie. Sure, there are complications-- Eddie's recovery is going to be a long road, and it's not easy to court a guy who's unconscious. They never actually got to have a first date or even talk about their expectations for their new relationship. Eventually they'll have to figure out how to come out to the people close to them about it. But he knows he has Robin in his corner, and Eddie's uncle Wayne is surprisingly accepting, so he's confident they'll get through the bumps in the road. They've dealt with worse, right? The complication Steve didn't account for? Eddie's got no idea they're together.

exeunt ; enter stage | 10,576 | stardustcoral / @stardustcoral

Summary: Nancy inhaled slowly as she took a meaningful step towards him. Steve's eyes flickered back over to her instinctively, and he got a firsthand view of how her face had crumpled, eyes wide and shining and worried. "Steve," Nancy said, slow, gentle, quiet, like she was trying to calm a cornered wild animal. "None of us said those things." Steve's mouth opened, words piling on the tip of his tongue: what, so I was just hallucinating, then? he wanted to ask, nearly did ask, and then he realized—heart stopping in his chest and the floor very suddenly feeling like it had been ripped out beneath him—that was exactly what was happening. Steve's jaw shut with a click. "Oh," Steve breathed shakily. Oh, fuck.

Anywhere, Anytime | 10,853 | AidaRonan / @aidaronan

Summary: Eddie wakes from a nightmare about the bats. Again. About a week ago, Steve Harrington gave him his number with instructions to call if he needed anything. Said number is tacked on Eddie's wall under his Anthrax poster. 555-9878 -Steve H. But it's 3:17 a.m. and Eddie probably shouldn't call. Definitely shouldn't call.

It's Not a Big Deal | 11,708 | AidaRonan / @aidaronan

Summary:Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone. So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

Meet-Cute in the Metal Pit | 14,926 | pez_the_platypus

Summary: "You were in theatre in high school, weren't you," Steve said, but he was charmed nonetheless. "Was it the eloquent prose or grand gestures of chivalry that gave me away?" Eddie simpered. "Actually," Steve reached out without thinking, wrapped the one loose tendril of Eddie's hair around his finger, and gave it a sharp tug, "It was the hair."

All That You Ever Wanted From Me Was Sweet Nothing | 15,283 | t1red_gay

Summary: “'I’m in love with you,' Eddie says, so casual, like it isn’t 3PM on a Tuesday in the middle of a Family Video in Bumfuck, Indiana. Like they’re somewhere else, like he’s someone else. Like it’s nothing extraordinary."

The Worst Mixtape Ever Made | 17,999 | nbfutureboy / @futureboy-ao3

Summary: “It’s a gift, so you gotta listen to the whole thing, okay? I think-- I think it’s got what it takes.” There’s an art to making a mixtape - and Steve Harrington has decidedly ignored all semblance of art in creating a mixtape for Eddie Munson. Too bad Eddie’s fascinated with how impressively terrible his song choices are.

and it all comes down to you | 18,638 | heartofwinterfell / @nancywheeeler

Summary: Eddie Munson’s no hero. Too bad the universe—or whatever’s gonna be left of it—didn’t get the memo.

November Paramedic | 25,662 | BackyardOwl

Summary: Eddie has had his fair share of fantasies, but none of them involved fucking a paramedic. Until two years ago. That's when the "sexy men at work"-calendar got added to his porn stash and orgasms as he knew them changed forever. All the men in the calendar are hot, but none of them hold a candle to the paramedic. He's got this look in his eyes, this slant to his mouth. Like he knows he's the hottest guy in it. And everything is fine. Everything is great. Eddie's been single forever and he has no idea where he's headed in life, but he's fine. At least until he's collateral damage in a bar fight after a gig, and none other than his sexy November-paramedic arrives to treat his wounds.

hold me now, i need relief | 25,805 | ToEdenandBackAgain

Summary: It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does. “Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”

I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am | 26,952 | HMSLusitania / @hmslusitania

Summary: At the end of it all, to fix everything, the Hawkins crew had to go back to 1983 and prevent the first gate from ever opening. After that, they've got a chance to lead normal lives -- from November 1983 onward.

Blood on My Name | 28,448 | VTHX (V_Haley)

Summary: Tuesday, November 8th, 1983: Steve un-dies in hell.

The Enormous Upside to Losing Everything | 35,886 | Stressed_Depressed_Lemonzest

Summary: “Oh for fuck’s sake,” that mysterious someone cursed, “Why don’t you watch where you put your goddamn feet-” They seemed to recognise him and stopped in their tracks. Brown eyes blinked owlishly at Steve as he in turn took in the sight of Eddie Munson. “Harrington,” Eddie greeted, voice a mixture of surprise and suspicion. “Munson,” Steve returned.

don't go wastin your emotions | 51,650 | kissesforcas

Summary: "Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means. "Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again." "What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders. "You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it. Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?" "No."

Call My Number (and Call Me Yours) | 53,663 | novacorpsrecruit / @novacorpsrecruit

Summary: “Fire department is on the way. Stay on the line with me, okay?” A buzz of a radio came over the headset. “Fire station 3 responding.” “Damn,” Eddie whistled. Chrissy looked over at Eddie. “This guy’s voice is hot.” Chrissy’s eyes grew wide. The voice cleared his throat. “Just wait until you see my face. It’s not too bad either.”

the lathe | 82,547 | palmviolet / @palmviolet

Summary: "This time, do it right. This time Eddie won’t bleed out in his arms, in anyone’s arms. This time, Steve will do it right."

Best of 2022: Steddie Longfics

I was going to make a more general best of 2022 fics rec list, but looking at my bookmarks... ST and OFMD really have dominated my reading, so I'm making fandom specific reclists instead.

All fics on this list are complete, several have sequels, and all are of a longer, plottier, variety.

You're Divine by OonionChiver (explicit, 200k+ wordcount)

The definitive Vampire!Eddie fic (and there are many excellent ones).

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you by greatunironic (explicit, 30k+ wordcount)

if I had to convince one of those 'fanfic isn't real writing' people, this is the fic I'd show them

took you for a working boy by pukner (mature, 40k+ wordcount)

genderqueer!Steve, my beloved. apocolyptic!Hawkins my beloved. radio announcer!Eddie, my beloved.

Like the Hero Who Never Ran by callmejude (explicit, 30k+ wordcount)

I just love the central relationship here. The rare slow burn that feels entirely uncontrived in its slowness.

eddie munson's vampire mixtape by Springandastorm (teen, 20k+ wordcount)

this series is just charming. Not especially light, there's some dark shit in here, but even that manages to be charming somehow.

a special privilege for the resurrected by theopteryx (explicit, 50k+ wordcount)

I was going to make this 5 fics, but then I remembered this absolute gem. And I know I said You're Divine is THE Steddie vampire fic, but this is also THE steddie vampire fic. Yes there can be two. They have different vibes.

Hard to be Soft | 2,546 | stereobone / @stereobone

Summary: Eddie's had sex on a bed before. A lot, actually. Face down, usually, sheets dirty, barely able to breathe, someone holding him bruise-tight and pressing his face into the mattress. But Steve, Steve kisses him soft, hands caught up in his hair. Not to pull, just to feel him, or something. Steve kisses Eddie like he wants to keep him.

The Best Remedy | 3,098 | beetlesandstars / @beetlesandstarss

Summary: “Wanna get off with you,” Eddie murmurs like he’s admitting something dirty, something forbidden. “Yeah?” Steve breathes. “But,” Eddie smoothes his shaky hands down Steve’s back. “I think I might pop and die immediately.”

better in the dark | 3,242 | AO3 / Anonymous

Summary: Now Steve can smile what he’s been told is his sexiest smile. “Does that mean you’ll want to do it again?” He mimes checking his watch, even though his watch is somewhere on Eddie's bedroom floor. “Because not to brag or anything, but I’ve been known to go a few rounds in a night. Give me, like, half an hour, maybe twenty minutes.” “Well, I’ll be,” says Eddie. He looks adorable and extraordinarily fuckable with a blush staining his cheeks. “Will Harringtonian wonders never cease.”

Do Me, Baby | 3,285 | beetlesandstars / @beetlesandstarss

Summary: Steve takes a breath, fiddling with the phone cord. "Look, tell me to shut up, but, um. I could, like… help you?” A pause. Then, voice disbelieving, Eddie says, "Help me?" “Yeah, like, talk you through it.” Steve cringes. He sounds so stupid. Hi, Eddie! Want me to teach you how to jerk off again?

go ahead, go way low (in my honey-lovin' arms) | 3,558 | Gorgeousgreymatter / @gorgeousgreymatter-x

Summary: Honestly, there is a small (maybe not that small part) of Eddie that’s expecting to get punched for this, but that’s not what Steve does. Eddie’s pretty sure it’s not loud enough for anyone else to hear, thankfully, over the sound of whatever explosions were currently playing out on the screen in front of them, but Eddie does. A breathy little noise, almost like a purr, when Eddie’s nails just barely skitter over Steve’s scalp. Interesting. 

Please see below for more recommendations!

ink you up | 4,560 | Adure / @toburnup

Summary: "It looks good." Steve takes in the fine black lines, notes how the skin is raised and red. Figures it must be new. "When did you get it?" "Oh, I did it last night." Steve looks back up to Eddie in surprise. "You did it? Like to yourself?" He laughs, tosses his empty into the sink. "Hell yeah. Why not?" Steve drains his own and leans back. "I could never." "I could ink you up." Eddie looks at him like he's assessing, eyes trailing from fingertips back up to shoulders and then up to his eyes. "Would be a good look for you."

memorize my number, that's why I got a phone | 4,581 | QueerOnTilMorning

Summary: "So how have the shows been going? Score any groupies yet?" Shit. Eddie's never going to get a better opening than that, is he? He laughs, high and breathless, his heart beating a stampede from his chest up to his throat. "Actually, that's an interesting question, Steve, and it brings me to an important point. Something I've been wanting to talk to you about for a while, some relevant information I should probably divulge, but I thought it might be prudent to wait until I was out of punching range." "Sometimes I can't keep up when you talk," Steve says. "You wanted to tell me something?" "Yeah. Yes. I absolutely did, and I'm going to tell you. Right now." Eddie twists his rings around his fingers, takes a deep breath, and says, "I'm gay, Steve." "Oh," says Steve, and Eddie dies a thousand deaths, each more intricate and painful than being eaten by demobats. Then Steve says, "Boy groupies, then?"

hands of loving | 5,397 | kafkian / @kafkian

Summary: ‘Proud owner of twenty years pent-up hormones and counting.’ Eddie sighed, looking up at the sky and muttering something under his breath that Steve didn’t catch. Steve was so surprised he stopped walking. ‘What?’ Eddie loudly didn't say anything, continuing on their route. When Steve caught up to him, he was bright red in the face. ‘No way,’ Steve said, stunned. ‘You’re a virgin?’ Eddie rolled his eyes. ‘Shut up, man.’ ‘No, I didn’t mean – just. Really?’ Steve asked. ‘You've really never ...?’ ‘I run a DnD group, got held back in school twice, and live in a trailer with my uncle,’ Eddie said flatly. ‘What part of that screams dick magnet to you?’

In the Woods Somewhere | 5,526 | AidaRonan / @aidaronan

Summary: Steve grew up hearing campfire stories about the Black Woods Monster. He just never expected it to be real (or for it to want to seduce him.)

Eddie's Spectacular, Awkward, Very Safe, Very Fun First Time | 5,557 | alligator_writes / @riality-check

Summary: "Though he’s never had it, Eddie thinks sex will be its own kind of story. He has three (3) thoughts in that moment: 1. He’s hard. 2. Steve’s hard. 3. He wants to ram Steve into a mattress, like, yesterday."

I'll Be Your Captain | 6,029 | plutosrose / @plutosrose & yammz / @yammz

Summary: When Steve gets out of the bathroom, he gets exactly five seconds before Eddie is crowding him against the wall. “Why are you dressed like a Playboy centerfold?” Eddie reaches out to run his fingers along the ascot like he can’t believe what he’s seeing. “Were you a stripper at one point and just forgot to mention it?” “This was what we had to wear every day at that stupid job,” Steve manages, feeling a little like he might drown in Eddie’s intense and focused gaze. “Making three dollars an hour.”

Anything Goes in the Winnebago | 6,207 | ChronicRabbit

Summary: “Harrington’s got her. Don’tcha, Big boy?” That’s what Eddie had said to him with that huge shit-eating grin he always seemed to flash after one of his cheeky little jokes. Because it was a joke. There was no reason for Steve’s heart to thud in his chest like it was trying to escape the prison of his ribs. He was so fucked.

Scorpio Moons | 6,377 | Oonionchiver / @azrielgreen

Summary: ‘Hi.’ Eddie flinches hard, tries to back up but he’s already pressed into the wall so he just sort of bangs his head. ‘Ow, hi, hello, um, sorry.’ It’s Steve. Steve Harrington is standing in front of him. Eddie reverts back to a single celled organism. ‘Sorry for what?’ ‘Sorry?’ Steve blinks, gives a little smile. ‘My bad, start again?’ ‘S-sorry?’ Eddie would actually rather be a single celled organism.

At a medium pace | 7,147 | dartlekey / @dartlekey

Summary: "Okay, okay, fine. Jeez. You're not stupid, man, I'm stupid. And a baby." "As you said." "As I said," Eddie agrees, and takes a deep breath, "and I'm also a liar, because I didn't pop those stitches falling out of bed, actually." Steve blinks, mercifully leaning back. "No?" "Nope," Eddie presses out. "Actually, I was, uh." He forces himself to exhale, and says, "I was trying to rub one out." Steve stares at him. "What?" "You know," Eddie says nervously. "Crankin' the hog. Whacking off. Jerkin' the gerkin. Stroking the one-eyed snake -" "No I got that," Steve says, and Eddie immediately shuts up, "you're saying that's how you tore your sutures?" "Yes." "By -" "Yep." "Oh my God," Steve says faintly, then starts laughing.

So Newly Charming | 7,604 | glorious_spoon / @glorious-spoon

Summary: Eddie leans against the van to peer over his shoulder as he connects the leads. He’s close enough that Steve can smell him; close enough that he can feel the shift of air on the side of his neck as Eddie breathes. If it were one of the kids, he’d shove them off and reassert his personal space, but it’s never really bothered him when it’s Eddie. It’s distracting, but Eddie is always kind of distracting. Steve doesn’t mind.

Can you pass this to Steve? | 7,772 | Thisusernameisunavailable

Summary: Note passing goes awry for Eddie when a simple prank goes a little too far.

t'hy'la | 8,036 | sparklyslug / @sparklyslug

Summary: “Because of biology,” Steve supplies, trying to steer this thing back on track. “Because of Vulcan biology,” Eddie sighs, and seems to give in. “Okay,” Steve says slowly, “But what–” “Because of Vulcan sexual biology,” Eddie grits out, and puts his face back in his hands. So he misses how Steve goes bright red, thankfully. Given how the tips of Eddie’s ears are a vibrant green, he’s in a similar situation. “Oh, well,” Steve clears his throat. “No shame in that, Ensign,” god, he’s fallen back on rank now, if Eddie wasn’t so clearly a mess he would absolutely make sure that Steve never lived it down. He attempts a laugh, his mouth dry. “The birds and the bees do it, after all.” “Fuck youuuu,” Eddie groans, parting his fingers to stare balefully at Steve. “The birds and bees aren’t Vulcans, Steve.”

come get your man (he got lost in my DMs) | 8,446 | hexiewrites / @hexiewrites

Summary: It’s weird because it’s not that weird. Actually, the weirdest thing about it is the guy seems to be commenting from an account with his entire name attached. It’s just weird for Eddie to open up his notifications and see: Steve_Harrington replied to your video: Great job, this was really excellent. Loved the way your pitch changed subtly to indicate that Aeilin was turned on! Which. Again. Weird for multiple reasons.

600 Square Feet | 9,412 | InkandOwl / @sfintii

Summary: There’s no response from Steve and Eddie is contemplating swapping out his bun for donuts when Steve starts laughing. A full bodied laugh that has him pressing his wrist to his mouth to keep from losing his lunch all over the car and Eddie finds himself smiling despite his confusion. “Are you— Are you experiencing a medical event? What’s happening here?” Steve chokes down some water and sighs, “My parents really sold me on this idea that I was gonna get out of school, go to college for business, take over for my dad, live in some— some mansion on a lake.” He gestures between them, “And now i’m waiting on tourists and sharing table scraps with Eddie Munson.” Eddie huffs out a small laugh, “Bit of a downgrade, huh?” “Are you kidding me?” Steve shoves his fingers through his hair, “This is— kind of perfect, actually.”

the moon changes colour | 9,647 | jk_rockin / @jkrockin

Summary: Steve gets bitten by a strange dog one hot summer night. It takes him a month, and a little outside help, to work out what's wrong with him.

[film-in-my-soul]

Dirty Words | 10,207 | morningberries / @morningberriesao3

Summary: Steve gives Eddie a lesson on dirty talk, but things start to get carried away.

Cassiopeia, Orion, Bootes | 10,780 | AidaRonan / @aidaronan

Summary: When Steve finds the flyer for Bayou Bobby's midnight swamp tours, he's excited to finally get the opportunity to do something interesting on his work trip to New Orleans. Until he finds out he's human bait for something that lives in the swamp. Something with claws and scales and eyes that glow red in the moonlight.

if you wanna be my lover (you gotta be my friend) | 10,909 | hopewithfeathers

Summary: Eddie is so unused to being this fucking messed up over one specific person, and it’s driving him absolutely crazy. The fact that it’s Steve fucking Harrington doesn’t make it any better, and even though Eddie knows him now and he’s a good guy (the best guy, actually), it doesn’t help that Steve is probably, one hundred percent not interested.

Bad Timing | 11,071 | Anonymous

Summary: Steve's just trying to keep them all alive. He's stuck in the Upside Down, he's been attacked by flying demon bats and this is turning out to be a really terrible week. He's ignoring the aching in his body and the fever he seems to be developing because getting out of the hell dimension really seems like a more pressing matter. Except it's not just his injuries he's been ignoring. The stress has brought his heat on months early and being surrounded by Eddie Munson's scent is not making things better. Thanks to everything else going on, he doesn't notice until it's too late.

thirty days | 11,570 | Adure / @toburnup

Summary: "Okay, you should probably leave,” Eddie says quietly, hand slipping underneath the blanket. His other hand reaches for the remote and he pauses the movie. “Why?” “‘Cause I’m going to jerk off.” Steve's mouth is dry. His body is heavy. “I don’t want to go.” “Fine." Eddie leans his head back against the wall, reveals the column of his throat. "Stay.”

Please see below for more recommendations!

got a devil's haircut (in my mind) | 11,809 | harmonictechnicality / @harmonictechnicality

Summary: Models are beautiful people, that’s the goddamn gig. Makeup, no makeup. Photoshop, no photoshop. They just look better than the general population and society accepts that as a fact. But Eddie is a grubby little voice actor that burrows himself up in his boxy apartment for days. Very little sunlight, very little human interaction, and a shit ton of takeout. Long story short, he doesn’t get out much. So this? Seeing a biblically hot heartthrob in the flesh? With his own two eyes? It’s knocking him into deep space. Sending him into an astral projection without sticking a tablet on his tongue first.

the pre-show ritual | 12,062 | helix_stomper

Summary: Steve wasn’t really all that surprised to find himself here. He had never seen a gloryhole before. He’d chalked them up to a horny teenager’s pot at the end of the rainbow. Fantasy, and nothing else. A fat old man couldn’t squeeze down a chimney, and a guy couldn’t get his dick sucked in a public bathroom. But here it was, a small circular hole cut into the side of two adjacent stalls, as real and as terrifying as it could be. What surprised Steve about tonight was that he wasn't sticking his dick through the hole. Instead, he found himself sitting on his heels in front of it, hands wringing anxiously in his lap as he licked his lips and waited for someone to shuffle into the other stall.

In My Boxers, Half Stoned | 12,338 | Eddywow

Summary: "You can," Eddie said, almost sounding like he was nodding along to his words. The image was too pure for Steve. "You could say anything you want to me and I'd- I think I'd be into it. Because I saw your pics and like, I know your face isn't in them but- but I really like them. Is it okay that I liked them?"

An Accidental Flogging | 12,965 | ArtaxLivs / @artaxlivs

Summary: Steve is just staring at him, looking at Eddie over his shoulder. Eyes wide, mouth open in a perfect O. The ring of the smack Eddie just delivered on his perfect, beautiful ass still resonating in the empty kitchen.

Bone Mirror | 13,048 | Oonionchiver / @azrielgreen

Summary: Steve has never killed a human being before. It’s all he has. His life is oppressively quiet. Silent. Waiting for the day he’s brave enough to fill the pool again. Waiting for change. Waiting for the moon. It’s all he fucking has. Until Eddie Munson is accused of murder.

Swipe Right | 13,759 | aaliona / @bifuriouswaterbender

Summary: Eddie Munson knew how to take a profile picture, Steve decided right then. The angle was from straight on, but Eddie had his head tilted to the side, somehow managing to give big doe eyes at the viewer as his long hair fell around him. His sleeves were pushed up, showing off tattoos on both arms that he was subtly flexing. Steve had heard a lot about Eddie and didn’t even know which of it to believe. But hey, perhaps this was his chance to find out. At very least, Munson seemed like the kind of guy to know what he was doing. Taking a deep breath, Steve swiped right.

I’m on the Hunt (I’m After You) | 16,362 | OhlioOh

Summary: Odd is Eddie Munson’s thing, acquiring knowledge of the esoteric and strange a core tenet of his personality. Yet Hawkins National Park had been one big, beautiful blind spot. Plenty of people visit, plenty of people vanish, and yet not a soul is talking about it. Something is stalking these woods, and Eddie is going to be the one to find it. If only Park Ranger Steve Harrington wasn’t such a giant, unfairly attractive pain in his ass.

A Gem Beyond Counting | 13,728 | teddywesworl / @teddywesworl

Summary: The wrong feeling pitches and dives toward nausea again. Steve folds in half, eyes squeezed shut. The room spins, and his skin goes clammy. Behind the rush of white noise in his ears, he thinks he hears Eddie’s voice, calling to him, saying his name. There’s a soft pressure on his back that moves up to the back of his neck, and— Gone. Everything’s fine. He feels fine. He feels good, even. Eddie has a hand on the back of his neck and one clutching his forearm. Eddie looks frantic, eyes wide, a sheen of sweat on his face and stray damp curls stuck there. Steve’s gaze is drawn to his mouth, taut and worried and always in motion. He wants to lick into it.

fear is fading fast | 14,389 | amiparanoidmuch (p1013) / @p1013

Summary: Eddie is twenty years old. He lives in a small sprawl of suburbia that holds his heart in a vice grip. He only knows one gay man—himself—and he's never getting laid, ever.

Hard to Learn | 20,285 | DaaroMoltor

Summary: Steve pulls up to just outside the garage door, then cuts the engine. He turns in his seat. “Eddie.” He startles, a visibly painful jerk, and his eyes snap to Steve. Steve meets them steadily, trying to project calm. Eddie’s gaze do linger on him for a moment, before he looks around. The house towers above them, dark and empty. Eddie frowns, plainly confused, then glances to Steve and- Realization dawns, then it’s quickly followed by anger and… hurt? The first quickly eclipses the latter, and Eddie flings open the car door. “See you around, I guess, Harrington,” he spits, beginning to limp away. Steve is so startled that it takes him a moment to get his bearings. “Hey!” he calls, scrambling out of the car. “Hey! Where are you going?! You can barely even walk!” “Home,” Eddie snaps. “And I’m walking because apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t deserve a fucking ride.” “Oh, for the love of-,” Steve mutters, then runs the couple of hobbled steps that Eddie has managed to put between them, grabbing his arm to spin him around. “Your home is half portal, idiot,” Steve says. “You’re staying with me.”

The Adventures of Eddie Munson, Cheerleader | 26,082 | bookworm1805

Summary: Hawkins Indiana, January 1985 The moment the basketball players walked into the gym, all hell broke loose.  Curses were spat. Teenagers whispered in scandalized tones as their nikes squeaked over the polished wood floor. Prayers were chanted. Somewhere across town, a baby probably cried. Eddie Munson grinned. 

the affliction of the feeling | 27,203 | nondz (pinkjook)

Summary: “Hold on,” Robin interrupts. “Hold on, is this— are you, like. Do you know what masochism is?” “I know I act like it sometimes, Robin, but I’m not actually fucking twelve,” Steve says.

for your eyes only (i'll show you my heart) | 32,068 | strawberryspence / @strawberryspence

Summary: “Damn you, Harrington.” Eddie shakes his head, looking back at the box again. He can see Robin looking at him, but Eddie avoids looking at her. He didn’t want to answer questions about his damn crush on Steve freaking Harrington and how he keeps getting more perfect by the minute. Eddie needs him to stop, like literally right now. “Oh my god,” Dustin screams, making Eddie look at him from across the room. Eddie finds him staring at someone, so he follows his line of sight and finds one Steve Harrington, yeah, that one, the one he just asked a second ago to stop being perfect? Yeah, that guy is standing at the bottom of the stairs with a crumpled box in his hands and is wearing glasses. Steve Harrington just exceeded perfect.

off the beaten path | 34,208 | pukner

Summary: "I'm saying this," says Steve, loudly, cutting him off, "because someone I love is, uh, gay. And I love them, but like, platonically. And also me calling you a queer might've been a little hypocritical, in restrospect." There is a long, baffled pause. "What," says Jonathan, "Steve, are you--are you coming out to me?" Steve frowns, "Oh, yeah, I guess I am. Cool."

The Shire is NOT on Fire | 54,148 | kissesforcas

Summary: The kids convince Steve to take them all to a Renaissance Faire and LARP event. Steve has more fun than he admits. And then Steve has a LOT more fun than he admits.

Ahoy, Big Boy | 83,733 | ChronicRabbit

Summary: Scoops Ahoy. America’s favorite place to cool down, and quite possibly the lamest summer job under the blazing Indiana sun. Especially if you were former High School royalty, brutally rejected by each and every university you’d applied to and promptly cut off by your shitty parents in an effort to teach: “some goddamned responsibility.” Between accidentally intercepted secret Russian communications, a meddling preteen matchmaker with no collarbones, and increased proximity with Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson, a measly $3 an hour plus tips is nowhere near enough to deal.

caught in the middle, helpless again | 131,425 | margosfairyeye (Skittery) / @margosfairyeye

Summary: Fuck, Eddie has been here before. The deja vu was bad enough but this is like, double, this is like deja deja vu or deja vu vu or something, this is unprecedented shit here. And Eddie knows what comes next, knows like the roiling ache in his stomach that they’re going to go in, go though the portal and into the Upside fucking Down and didn’t they already do this?

your eyes on me (i think i'll cause a scene) | 1,658 | BackyardOwl

Summary: Chrissy drags Eddie to a basketball game, where they end up seated next to a hottie and his bored girlfriend. Then the kiss cam settles on them, and things get interesting.

feel the beat within my heart | 1,859 | wearing_tearing / @wearing-tearing

Summary: “You’re wearing leather pants,” Steve says, feeling like he’s having a stroke. Eddie drops his arms to his sides and frowns at him. “Are you having a stroke?” “No,” Steve replies and then corrects himself. “Maybe?”

I Wish I Knew You Wanted Me | 1,915 | indelicate / @steddielations

Summary: “Is everything okay?” Steve offers gently, “If you need to borrow some money or use my washer or something then—” “No, no that’s not it,” Eddie shakes his head, “I don’t need anything like that, I swear.” “So then… Why do you keep taking my clothes, Eddie?” Eddie lets out a small laugh, almost sad, a little bitter, “You’re really gonna make me say it, Harrington?”

Rental Return | 2,087 | zade / @racetrackthehiggins

Summary: Two hours. Two entire hours Eddie had been sitting outside Family Video with his hand caught in the video return slot, waiting for anyone to show up and open the fucking store. His fingers felt swollen and were throbbing but his rings were caught on the slot and his fingers were trapped clutching the copy of This Is Spinal Tap he had been hoping to return on his way to school. And now it had been two hours, Eddie was late for class, and he had to fucking piss.

Deaf to the Dead Man's March | 2,685 | Carerra_os / @jellyfishloveletterghosts

Summary: Eddie uses his song to bring the crew of a passing ship to their end, his song doesn't reach them all and he goes to investigate.

devil made me do it (gotta admit i had fun) | 2,847 | grumpyhedgehogs

Summary: Eddie returns as Kas the Betrayer, fully under Vecna’s control and hellbent on destroying Hawkins. Unfortunately for Vecna, Steve Harrington intervenes.

APPLEJACK | 2,979 | kocasoda / @kocasoda

Summary: “Alright, Harrington,” Eddie says appreciatively. "But I still don't believe this vampire thing. Robin,” he calls to the comedy section, “I’m calling your bluff." "How much?" "Five bucks." "Deal. Show him your teeth, Steve." “Hey,” Steve objects, “I'm worth way more than five dollars.” "Sure you are." Eddie reaches out and grasps Steve’s jaw. “Now let's see those pearls."

Please see below for more recommendations!

i'm feeling devious (you're looking glamorous) | 3,127 | fivecenturiesverse

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.)

Four Seasons In One Day | 3,452 | beetlesandstars / @beetlesandstarss

Summary: Christmas, Steve decided a long time ago, sucks. Being the only one in Hawkins without a family to celebrate with sucks. So, box of cookies in hand, Steve knocks on Eddie Munson's door.

Hey Santa | 3,598 | ThirdEye1234 / @thirdeye1234

Summary: “So if you’re feeling generous . . .” Eddie leans in closer, one hand coming up so his fingers are brushing the bare skin of Steve’s neck and his lips are grazing Steve’s ear—or they would be, if the stupid Santa hat wasn’t in the way. Steve can’t decide if he’s relieved or disappointed about that. “ . . . I wouldn’t be opposed to finding a gift-wrapped Steve Harrington under my tree come Christmas morning.”

your flames are flames that kiss me dead | 4,156 | fivecenturiesverse

Summary: Five times someone (mostly Eddie) kisses Steve and one time Steve kisses Eddie.

Shovel Talks | 4,397 | unkreativstermensch / @unkreativstermensch

Summary: “Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.” He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.” That’s the first thing Wayne notices.

if i was brave (i'd climb up to you on the mountain) | 4,485 | hexiewrites / @hexiewrites

Summary: Eddie Munson just wants to go for a walk with his daughter. That shouldn't be too much to ask. Unfortunately, Eddie Munson is a klutz. Luckily, park ranger Steve Harrington is nearby to help out.

always ten feet below (and just out of reach) | 4,954 | stellarpoint (pettifogger) / @heybluechild

Summary: Steve’s door is still cracked open, but he opens the window anyway. Cool air rushes into the room, along with the general smell of Eddie: cigarette smoke, cheap body spray, and maybe just a little bit of weed. If Steve gets butterflies just from that, he’ll never admit to it. “What the hell are you doing?” he whispers. “What do you think? Rescuing the princess from her tower.” Steve stares. Eddie grins. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.” Steve’s stare moves into glaring territory. “Okay, seriously, you gotta let me in. My hands are going numb, man. If I fall through this window, someone is going to call the police and I’m for sure gonna get arrested.”

Roll for Initiative | 5,081 | alchemystique / @alchemistc

Summary: He nearly gets away with it, is the thing. Three sessions in and the kids haven’t realized the BBEG isn’t the tarnished knight with the swooping hair and the stupid dad jokes they groan at every time. They still think the wizard leading them towards imminent destruction is on their side, and as his reluctant hero of an NPC warns them to be wary even Will the Wise rolls his eyes and misses the opportunity for a perception check that barring a Nat 1 would have, at the very least, told them that one of them wasn’t to be trusted. He’s not even trying that hard to hide the incredibly obvious parallels – the courtship the knight had once had with the sister of Wheeler’s paladin, the reluctant way he continuously steps in when the party gets themselves into a hairy situation, the incredibly obvious boner Eddie has for this stupid character he’s created solely for the purpose of a reveal he both does and does not want them to discover early on.

a cinematic vision ensued (like the holiest dream) | 5,226 | fivecenturiesverse

Summary: Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too. He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a draw of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Steve uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

i saw you coming and i heard not a thing | 5,815 | ships_to_sail

Summary: For the first two-thirds of his life, Steve Harrington has perfect hearing, even if no one around him would believe it. And then Steve Harrington starts getting hit in the head. A lot.

Home Economics | 6,177 | peaktotheocean / @peaktotheocean

Summary: The girls of Hawkins High thought it was cute that Steve Harrington took Home Ec. All the guys thought he did it just to get the girls. Steve Harrington signed up for Home Ec because he hadn't seen his parents in a few weeks and he was getting pretty tired of Pop-Tarts.

Invitations | 6,902 | nbfutureboy / @futureboy-ao3

Summary: “Uh, Steve? How do you know my Dungeon Master?” “Uh, Dustin? How do you know my radio room janitor?” Eddie retorts, pointing at him with an accusatory fry.

the beginning of a bad joke | 7,083 | alligator_writes / @riality-check

Summary: At the beginning of his rant, lecture, whatever, Hottie stares right at him. He has a really intense stare. Pretty brown eyes set in a prettier face with even prettier hair on top of his head. Eddie gets distracted by all that pretty and by trying to make his point. And he doesn’t notice until halfway through that Hottie isn’t looking at him anymore. He’s looking at his friend. Eddie looks at her, too. Looks at her confused and focused expression. Looks at her hands moving rapidly. Oh. G-d. Hottie’s deaf, isn’t he?

You know you're just my type | 7,287 | liionne / @liionne

Summary: "It’s like he can’t help himself.” She says around a scoop of Double Bubblegum. Eddie always chooses the worst flavours, but that still isn’t going to stop Robin from nibbling away at his complementary banana split. “He’s a compulsive flirter. It’s weird. I’m worried for him.” “I’m not.” Eddie sighs softly, kind of dreamily, propping his elbow on table and resting his chin on top of his open palm. “It’s special when he flirts with me, though, right?” “Don’t flatter yourself.” Robin snorts. 

everybody else (everybody else looks like they’ve figured it out) | 7,570 |stellarpoint (pettifogger) / @heybluechild

Summary: Eddie knows he’s rambling, but once it’s out there, he can’t take it back. He’s freaking out about Steve, but it’s about everyone who came before him, too—about Maggy McInnis and her friends laughing at him in the hallway, every teacher who wrote him off for not being able to sit still and turn in his homework, and every friend who got sick of him for not listening and showing up late. Steve hasn’t had a chance to get close to Eddie, and Eddie doesn’t want to run that risk. If Steve gets too close to him, he’ll see that Eddie’s brain is all scrambled up, and he won’t want him anymore. Eddie likes Steve right where he is, and he doesn’t want to lose that by being too much. And Eddie is always too much. 

i'll kiss your mouth, and you'll be better for it | 8,520 | cpressmn / @shesapeachsconebob

Summary: “Why didn’t either of you tell us you were dating?” He looks so hurt and indignant in the way only Dustin can, and maybe it’s not too late to run out after Steve and make their case for the beers again if it means the kid’ll stop frowning and looking at Eddie like that. It takes a minute for his words to sink in. Eddie blinks. “What.” “What do you mean, what? You kissed!” “No, we didn’t,” Eddie scoffs. Except, yes, they did. Realization crashes over him, the force of it stunning him into silence. Steve kissed him. On the lips. Like it was nothing, like it was something they did every day. And Eddie hadn’t even blinked or shoved him away or registered it at all, just returned the kiss and went right back to bossing Steve around, as if the whole fucking thing was the most natural thing in the world. Fuck.

Bracing For Impact | 9,195 | writersagainstwritersblock

Summary: Wayne watches as Eddie falls hopelessly in love, with of all people, goddamn Steve Harrington.

if you like this you might also like: me | 9,247 | formosus_iniquis / @formosusiniquis

Summary: Book recommendations are Steve's least favorite part of the job, until he starts getting recommendations back from a mysterious guest. Their notes back and forth quickly become Steve's favorite part of the month, if only he could meet the guy he kept confiding in.

‘cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run | 9,308 | stellarpoint (pettifogger) / @heybluechild

Summary: Realization #1: Steve is wearing a costume. He’s dressed as Springsteen on the cover of Born In The U.S.A. The album cover is staring at Eddie from the stack of records by the speakers, and he flicks his eyes between the cover and Steve, almost laughing at how obvious the resemblance is. Immediately after that, revelations two and three slam into him like an eighteen-wheeler. #2: Bruce Springsteen is kind of hot. #3: Steve Harrington is really hot. A fourth and much louder thought echoes through Eddie’s brain: oh, shit.

chat with you, baby (flirt a little, maybe) | 11,706 | desiccatedwithering (acornsofthemind) / @acornsofthemind

Summary: “Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.” Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first. “Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Blooms of the Darkest Garden | 12,711 | tminuseternity

Summary: Steve is going to die. And because this is Hawkins, a town with an alternate dimension right up its asscrack, he isn't going to die in a normal way. No, instead he's going to die because he can't stop coughing up the most disgusting combination of Upside Down gunk and...flower petals? What the fuck is happening to him?

Operation: M.O.F.F.S | 16,843 | morna_mena

Summary: “Our friends are being mean.” Will jumps as El lets herself into his room and drops onto his bed. She doesn't look at him, arms crossed and frowning up at the ceiling. “Umm. Hello. I see you are upset so I won’t complain about the not knocking thing. Again.” She blinks and finally looks over at him with a small pout. “Sorry.” He shakes his head, smiling fondly, “It’s fine. Why are our friends being mean? What did they do?” El lets out a puff of air and returns to the staring contest she had been having with the ceiling. “They are being rude to Steve.”

The World's Most Metal Soulmate Tattoo | 17,272 | A_Pirates_Love_For_Me

Summary: After everything is over with Vecna, Eddie Munson notices the experience left him with an unexpected mark. A soulmate tattoo. Something about the experience had changed him enough that he now has a perfect match. And well, whoever the universe decided was best represented by a baseball bat filled with nails was probably a good guy to have around in a world where the things that go bump in the night turn out to be real.

In Your Peripheral | 17,788 | dynamitekid

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.

it's his party (and i'll fall if i want to) | 25,411 | formosus_iniquis / @formosusiniquis

Summary: “Who invited us to this party anyway?” "Well I invited you," the ‘you should know this already dingus’ hangs in the air, not needing to even be said, "and Steve invited me." "Steve?" She nods, but even death couldn't stop him now, "Harrington? Steve Harrington? King Steve? Steve "the Hair" Harrington? Steve "Big House, No Parents" Harrington? Steve "Sex God" Harrington?" "I am certain you made at least those last two up. Yes, Steve "Lady Killer" Harrington invited me to his party." "Are we about to be Carrie'd?"

Down in a Dead Man's Town | 27,853 | holyfudgemonkeys (erraticallyinspired)

Summary: When Steve nearly runs over Will Byers on that fateful night in 1983, he doesn’t expect offering him a ride home would result in both of them being hunted into another dimension. Surviving there is hard. Adapting to normal life again is even harder. His old self settles like an ill-fitting suit, and there’s no room for nightmares and fear and his new bond with Will in it. As he struggles to find a new normal he can live with, Steve finds himself befriending a bunch of kids and maybe (definitely) falling in love with a local weed dealer.

I've been trying to figure you out, tell me then would you lend a hand? | 31,268 | eloquent_fairy

Summary: “So, tell me what’s so great about Harrington, then.” He doesn’t really know why he says it, it’s not like Eddie cares about the old King of Hawkins High; Steve Harrington is an asshole. That’s just a fact of life. The sky is blue, high school is pointless, Steve Harrington is a dickhead. But Eddie likes this kid, likes all of them actually. Dustin turns to look at him, a small smile on his lips, his eyes softening, and bingo.

Meet Ugly | 2,101 | philomendron (tetrapteryx) / @philomendron

Summary: There's a groan of confusion from the hospital bed. Eddie's eyes creak open. Wayne and the man with the shotgun freeze as they watch him take in this new development. His eyes rove sleepily across each one of them in turn before he yawns widely. "Steve, meet my Uncle Wayne," he says calmly, to a choked noise from the man Wayne now knows as Steve. "Wayne, meet my Steve,” He introduces him with a twirl of his fingers. “We're going on a date once I stop pissing blood." He only has enough energy to treat them to a clumsy set of devil horns before his eyes slide shut. “Love you, ‘night.”

Eddie Munson and the Dreamboy | 8,147 | pukner

Summary: "How'd you get in here--" Steve hisses. "Your security sucks, sweetheart," says Eddie. Then, "Actually, that isn't true. It was a nightmare getting here, and the inside of your brain is a fucking labyrinth."

Three Shots | 13,434 | steveharringtoned

Summary: Three shots ring out. Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating. There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.) Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

the boys of summer | 19,926 | steveharringtoned

Summary: “Steve,” Wayne echoes. “This is my home. Eddie’s my boy.” And then he ruffles his hair with one large hand, coarse from years of working with them, in an action that reminds Steve of Hopper. “I’m gonna go down there and get my boy back. You’re gonna be my tour guide.” He holds his hand out for the final gun Steve has stashed, which he gives over reluctantly. He finds Wayne remarkably difficult to argue with—wonders if Eddie found the same. “Tour guides don’t need guns. You point at somethin’, I shoot it. Got it, Steve?”

10 P.M. | 2,165 | stellarpoint (pettifogger) / @heybluechild

Summary: “Can you read to me?” Eddie asks. Steve blinks. “Read to you?” Eddie nods, his eyes falling shut again. “Wanna read but my head hurts too fuckin’ much,” he grumbles. “S’okay if you don’t want to. We can just sleep.”  “No, it’s okay, I want to— it’s just, uh, it’s just—” It’s just that Steve hasn’t read aloud in years. He hasn’t read aloud since doing Romeo and Juliet in tenth grade English class, and everyone had laughed when he mispronounced “vestal livery” in Romeo’s monologue, just like they had laughed when he was twelve and had to sound out all the unfamiliar words in reading class, just like they had laughed when he was seven and read so slowly that someone raised their hand and asked if they could take over for him. 

Safety | 2,830 | Penny00Dreadful / @penny00dreadful

Summary: Robin should be royally pissed off with herself right now. She would be if she wasn’t so damn scared. That guy was still trailing behind her, no matter the twists and turns she’d taken down different streets trying to lose him and the only thing she’d gained from it was to get totally and completely lost.

2 Part Series | Rated E | Total Words: 2,749

Part 1 Summary: "Do you know," Steve breathes into his mouth. "How fucking hot you are?" Eddie grins against Steve's extremely kissable lips. "Why, Steve," This has been an ongoing problem-- Eddie can't seem to shut his fucking mouth, even when they make out. Steve doesn't seem to mind, and easily focuses his mouth on Eddie's neck. Win-win. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were trying to get into my pants." "Think we can actually get them off, this time?"

Would You Like to Add Another Member to Your Party? by AmethystUnarmed / @amethystunarmed

2 Part Series | Rated T | Total Words: 14,902

Part 1 Summary: "Looks like you could use some company." Harrington sighs as he looks over Eddie with resigned eyes. “I’m still on concussion protocols.
