Summary
'“Trust you to be the only employee not to look a complete asshat in those bunny ears, Harrington.”
“Speak for yourself, Munson.” Steve nervously stroked the honey-velvet ears that poked almost seamlessly from his hair. He quietly knew they looked as good on him as they could on any poor 'Hot-Bunny Beans' worker cursed with wearing them. Apart from maybe Eddie. “I honestly figured you’d look more of a freak in those things than you actually do.”
“I don’t look like a freak?” Eddie slammed his palms to his heart and collapsed back against the barista machine as if he’d been shot. Steve giggled madly. “You wound me, my rookie bun-bun! Hey, much as I’m loving our chit-chat, we gotta get this machine cranked up. Chop chop.”'
Or... O!Steve is nervous about working with A!Eddie in his first ever job without Robin. After all, Eddie is his boss and could make his life hell. Turns out scary Eddie Munson is the coolest boss ever. Yet Steve can't help risking their friendship by falling for him hard.

Summary
“You left a jumper behind.” Mike says. Will’s brows furrow. “The night you presented, you left your jumper behind and I only found out after you’d left. So I just… kept it.”
“So?”
“So, I spent the whole of my first rut buried in that jumper.” Mike huffs out a little nostalgic laugh as he tells Will that. As if he hasn’t just taken Will’s world and spun it on his axis. “Seriously. Nobody smells as good as you, Will.”
“Nobody?”
“Nobody.”
(or: 5 times Mike scents Will and 1 time Will scents Mike. omegaverse au set during and after season 4)

Summary
"I haven't told any of you this because I don't want you to see me differently," Will started. His voice was soft, melodic, and Richie felt like he was being hugged by a cloud. "But the truth is... I am different."
Will took a shaky breath. This was it. The big reveal. The moment the music swells.
"I just… I don't like girls."
The silence that followed was heavy. It was the kind of silence that usually preceded a jump-scare. Mike looked like he had been hit with a brick. El looked confused. Dustin looked like he was doing math in his head.
Richie Tozier, however, did not stay silent.
He let out a sound that was somewhere between a pterodactyl scream and a sob of pure relief. He threw his hands into the air, his Hawaiian shirt fluttering.
"I KNEW IT!" Richie screamed, his voice echoing off the concrete walls.
OR Richie Tozier has spent his quarantine pining for Will Byers. When Will finally delivers his dramatic coming-out speech at WSQK headquarters, Richie took his chance.

Summary
“It was that good, huh?” Mike’s tone was mocking, but his eyes contradicted his words. Dark, smoldering. Every time he blinked at Will, the world was made anew.
Will leaned in. “Better.”
“Prove it.”
Stillness. Will’s brain skipped. “What?”
Mike’s gaze didn’t waver. It was unrelenting, the force of his unequivocal attention impossibly beautiful. “Show me. If you’re so good, then prove it.”
Spring, 1989. Will's best friends think he's the most innocent in their group. He makes it clear that this is not the case.

“I’ll trade you!”
“Fat chance.” Eddie barked.
“Say, Eddie, when did you start packing your own lunches anyway? Usually you hardly eat.” Dustin asked.
“Oh, his wife packs his lunches.” Jeff piped in. All the kids looked at each other, Eddie chuckled, peeling back the lid of his pudding cup.
“You- what? When did- how? Who?” Dustin was confused, turning back to Eddie.
Or: Eddie and Max get their lunches made for them at school, the kids started to notice that new lunchbox. Now sprialing more questions than answers of whom this wife is that's making them.
