Summary
Steve Harrington is staring at him again. Eddie frowns. Steve looks to the heavens like he’s praying for strength, “Rock stars, am I right?” he jokes to the crowd. “You going to tell us anything about it or just sit there remembering the moment?”
Asshole. Eddie feels like maybe his palms are a little sweaty. He’s not totally sure why he agreed to this. “It was like a lightning strike,” Eddie says. “She was so mean, and so talented, and the four of us started playing together and it just made sense.”
“Lightning strike, that’s the title of your new song, right? The one you’re playing tonight?”
“Yeah,” Eddie says eloquently. “Lightning, but. Yeah.”
Steve grins this time. “Well, lucky for all of us, we won’t need to be saved by a lightning strike from this amazing conversation. We’ll be back after this, folks, with more Corroded Coffin.”

Summary
Surely he was dreaming, that couldn’t be real.
He let his head fall against the back of the door and quietly mumbled, “What the fuck?”, under his breath.
Then, with a deep breath, he steeled himself and opened the door. Yeah, it was real.

Summary
There’s an old photo, grainy, electric, legend now, of Steve Harrington with bloodied gums and a grin like a threat. His mouth is split open in something too sharp to be joy, and his eyes burn with the kind of defiance that could level cities. Like he’d set the world on fire just to prove it couldn’t touch him.
Eddie remembers. He'd seen it.
Punk was a snarl. Punk was a fist through the drywall. Punk was angry in a way that felt like home. It howled when he couldn't speak, let him bite down when the self hatred frothed up too hot. It didn’t ask him to be okay, it dared him to be furious.
That picture, really, had redrawn the entire trajectory of Eddie's life, lit the fuse on something that had been quietly smoldering in him for years.
Pity Steve Harrington had turned out to be such a fucking sellout.

Summary
“Who’s the homo?” came Robin’s voice, affectionately, over his shoulder, as he stopped his scroll mid-record.
“Huh?” he cocked his head to look back at her, a disgusted grimace on his face.
“Half of those movies are gay as hell and the other half are horror movies so whose record are you looking at?”
“Eddie’s.”
“Oh, Eddie. Interesting.”
“You think Eddie’s gay?”
“I mean, yeah. Don’t you?”
“We don’t know that. Maybe his uncle is gay and he rents them for him?”
“Including the porn?”
Steve studied the list again, focusing in on the ratings column, identifying the culprits immediately. “Those could be straight porn.”
“Boys Who Beg sounds particularly straight to you?”
“I don’t know, I’ve been in some situations where I could see myself begging if things had gone differently.”
It’s Spring 2003 and Eddie Munson just survived the Upside Down. Now he has to make it to graduation in one piece without losing his heart.
Or, the one where Steve Harrington discovers some important new information about himself thanks to Eddie Munson's video rental history and is remarkably chill about it.
