Summary
Steve gave him a disbelieving, skeptical look. “Just a minute ago you didn’t even want to give me your blankets and now you’re…what, suggesting I basically move in with you?”
Eddie sighed and rolled his eyes. “Yeah, well a minute ago I still thought this was just some place for you to get laid, not your home.” Steve winced. Eddie pretended he didn’t notice. “Plus, you didn’t give me those puppy dog eyes.”
Or: It's freezing. The heater in Steve's new trailer doesn't work. The one in Eddie's does.

“They don't even make any sense,” Eddie continued, “they just keep muttering ‘WWSD’ to themselves before completely fucking up all my plans.”
“WWSD?” Steve repeated, “what does that mean?”
Eddie slurped a long piece of pasta up, “hell if I know, they just act so unpredictably.”
“You want me to interrogate Dustin?” Steve offered, “I’ll do it, I promise.”
Eddie laughed, “yeah, I know, Darling, but let's not traumatise him just yet.”

Summary
“You ask a lot of questions about me,” Steve tells him.
“Because you’re interesting,” Munson says, quiet and honest. “You’re a lot different than what I’ve heard.”
Steve hums, eyes closed. “Yeah,” he says, eyes fluttering open when Munson takes the joint from him again, “you are, too.

Summary
“Be real though, Ed. Harrington? You can’t actually be serious, here.”
Steve doesn’t like to eavesdrop, like, on principle.
Which is to say he totally does it.
He just doesn’t wholly approve of it, or think it’s a very good habit to have…while still doing it.
“You got me,” Eddie sighs, longer and deeper than can be taken wholly seriously. “I’m running my longest successful con to date.”
-
Or: Eddie’s bandmates confront him about his relationship with Steve. After practice. A particular practice that Steve’s picking Eddie up from because Eddie’s van is in the shop.
And, well…Steve’s already there waiting and can definitely hear everything being said.
By everyone.

Summary
“Munson,” he says, “go to prom with me.”
Eddie cocks an eyebrow, curiosity glinting in his eyes. “I didn’t think I was your type, Harrington.”
***
In which Robin wants to ask a girl to prom but is too scared of coming out, and Steve is willing to pretend to go with Eddie because he’s such a great friend. No other reason.

Summary
In the summer of 1991, Eddie attends Steve's wedding.
As he wraps his arms around Steve for perhaps the last time, Eddie reminisces about every intimate moment they shared over the last half-decade. Every time their fingers explored parts of their bodies that never see daylight. Every word they spoke that never left the boundaries of a tightly sealed door.
It's been a cold two years since he and Steve have seen each other—since they've even talked. But the flame that Eddie has always felt for Steve has refused to die. And now he's seconds away from watching the man he wasted his youth loving walk down the aisle.
Each step Steve takes closer to the altar has Eddie wondering if the passion they shared was all in his head, or if maybe—somewhere buried deep—Steve loves him, too. Even if he might never admit it.OR
The chronicals of Steve and Eddie's lives over the years—the joys, the challenges, and the journey that leads them to a wedding where one is at the altar and the other is in the audience.

Dear Mr. Henderson,
Eddie Munson has had Steve Harrington erased from his memory. Please never mention their relationship again. Thank you.

———————————A startled laugh fell from Eddie’s lips. “Is this some kind of joke?”
Dustin sighed deeply. “I wish. Guess who I have another one for, that came not too long after yours.”
Or: They meet, they date, they delete. Then find it isn’t so easy to move on like nothing happened.

Summary
"If you're looking for Midnight-sensei, she already left." Shinsou Hitoshi spoke softly, couldn't keep eye contact, and looked like he was a few seconds away from collapsing into an exhausted pile caused by copious amounts of stress.
"No. You're Shinsou Hitoshi." Shouta didn't bother to phrase it as a question, but he was curious when the kid tensed as if expecting a fight or a scolding. "Do you know who I am?"
Shinsou glanced around as if expecting a trick, the kid finally meeting his eyes for a quick moment, "You're Eraserhead." Huh. Kid knew his heroes, then. "And you're here to tell me what I'm in trouble for."
"Who says you're in trouble?" Shouta had seen Shinsou's school file and it certainly hadn't been light, but considering his quirk and background, he wouldn't be surprised if more than half of those 'fights' had been started by others and then blamed on him.
"Because you're a teacher for the hero course, sir, and the only reason for a teacher from Class 1-A to be talking to me is if I'm in trouble." What a depressing and sarcastically polite kid.
"Do you still want to be a hero?"

Bookmarker's Notes
"Shinsou Hitoshi was going to end up being better than every student in his class." The reaction I had to this line was so over-the-top joyful that if I wasn't alone rn I would think I was exaggerating it. But no, it just made me THAT HAPPY. I love this family so much.

Summary
Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?
Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?
(OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)
(OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)
(OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)

Summary
“I’m surprised Aizawa-kun lets you scent-mark him like that.”
Hizashi turns to blink at Yagi.
“I hadn’t really thought about it like that,” Hizashi says with an awkward laugh. “I’m just a tactile person, I guess.”
“I didn’t mean anything bad by it,” Yagi adds quickly. “I was just caught a little off guard because Aizawa-kun is normally so territorial. You two must be very close, for Aizawa-kun to not be bothered by your scent.”
“Yeah, I guess,” Hizashi replies.

Summary
In which Hawkins is overrun with vampires, soulmates are real, and Eddie Munson and Steve Harrington love each other despite (and because) of it all.
series title comes from bruce springsteen's no surrender.
part one: highway's jammed with broken heroes | complete
Eddie’s in love with Steve, but it doesn’t really matter because the world ended a few months ago and he’s been living on borrowed time ever since. Steve’s in love with Eddie, but he’s been through this before with a wild-eyed, steady-handed survivor who was better off without him, and doing it again might be enough to kill him this time.
Or: The Party are vampire hunters in post-apocalyptic Hawkins, in a world where soulmates can't harm each other.
part two: breathe the fire we was born in | complete
Steve and Eddie, post-post-apocalypse.
part three: fill them long summer nights | coming soon

Summary
The people of Hawkins were still alive, folding donated t-shirts into neat piles in the middle school gym, and passing out boxes of canned food to families in need, and smiling to each other as they said, hanging in there? Good, me too!
But then the ground fell and the fires started.
And then the Hawkins citizenry abandoned ship like they were time travelers aboard the goddamn Titanic.
And then the Hellfire Club and associated extended party members commandeered Loch Nora and turned it into a safe zone for the miniscule remaining population of Hawkins.
And then the dead people started showing back up.

Summary
"Wow Shouta! Onishi likes me - do you believe it?” Hizashi said. He felt bad that he’d have to turn her down, but it wouldn’t be fair to date her when he liked somebody else. He glanced over at Shouta, trying to gauge his reaction. It was selfish, but Hizashi hoped, just a little, that knowing somebody was interested in him would make Shouta see him in a different light.
“Wow,” Shouta repeated, looking decidedly un-wowed.
---
Hizashi would love to make up with Shouta. But not before he figures out why they were really fighting.

A minute and twenty profiles later, Shōta’s about to exit out of the dating app when a certain picture catches his eye.

Slowly, a smirk spreads over his face, and he likes the profile.
(Or: Shōta decides to mess with a catfish. Only the catfish isn't actually a catfish.)

Or, the one where Eddie's a little bit in love with Steve Harrington, and starts bitching about it with the kind, if a bit cagey, vigilante, Spider-Man.
