Summary
“How’re you feeling?” Eddie quietly asks, the conversation private for just the two of them, even if there are people around them.
“Okay. I think. Your injuries hurt like a bitch.” Eddie laughs, full on laughs, his eyes wrinkling into a crescent. Dear fucking god, Eddie has dimples. Yeah, Steve is a goner.
-
Or: Steve Harrington begs the universe to keep Eddie Munson alive while he carries him in his arms. Someone must have heard him wrong in the Upside Down because Eddie's injuries transfer to him.

You did it, Strawberryspence you beautiful bastard, you did it again! Steve's monkeypaw wishes coming back to haunt him but this time, it ends with a happy ending. I love the domesticity of the party just lounging around the hospital and the comfort-seeking of the kids from Steve is just 🤌🤌 especially from Erica because by the Spirits, we always forget how *young* she is. The Scoops Duo bromance is everything to me. And the confession... "You’ll have all my scars. In return, you can have all of me.” I was literally sobbing my heart out at the *soft*.

Summary
“I didn’t know you smoked.” Eddie looks at him tentatively.
“Didn’t until ‘86,” Steve answers, letting the feeling of the cigarette between his fingers anchor him into reality.
“I see a lot has changed for you in ‘86.” Steve snorts, still not returning Eddie’s fixed gaze.
“Are you just going to ignore me for the rest of the night?”

or: It's 1991, Joyce and Hop are finally getting married. Steve owns a flower shop, Eddie's a rockstar and everyone's tired of their bullshit.

Bookmarker's Notes
The most beautiful piece of writing I have had the privilege of laying my eyes on. This is absolutely in my 10 Steddie fics and I would highly reccommend to anyone. The left side of my pillow is soaked from all the tears and my heart is so full from the montages of soft moments. As someone who got really into floriography a few years back, the use of flowers (also of Garden Fairy Stevie) is just top notch. *The Marigold tattoo 😭😭*. Ever since this fic, Love of a Lifetime by Firehouse has been imprinted in my heart as a Steddie song and I cannot listen to it without *feelings*. Strawberryspence, hats off to you.

Summary
Eddie had done a lot of running recently. He’d run when Chrissy died, when Jason and his gang was hunting him, when the cops gave his name to the town and started a witch hunt for the freak. He’d run from all of it, and more.
He’d run from the lab. He’d run from Papa.
He couldn’t run any longer.
~*~*~
My own take on the 'Eddie is from Hawkin's Lab' theory!

If I had a penny for every time I have giggled and coo'ed whilst reading, I'd have a solid tenner by now. The way the story weaves between dramatic plot points, heartfelt moments and the characters' relationships, it writes like a soliloquy. I feel present in the moment, watching it all unfold. The focus on found family - Found in both senses of the word - brings such warmth to my soul and the slow waltz of easy, budding romance brings such a giddiness to the romantic in me.

Summary
They managed to save Max from Vecna at the graveyard(thank God for Kate Bush)but now Steve was displaying all the symptoms of the people who had been cursed so far.
Steve wasn't buying it. He didn't believe that Vecna would just move on like that if he couldn't have Max. And Steve knew that as soon as he admitted he'd been cursed, Max would give him her walkman since it was the only one they had on hand. He wouldn't risk Max like that. Maybe Vecna was trying to fake them out so he could snatch Max away as soon as she gave up her Walkman. Steve didn't know for sure, but he refused to take that chance. She'd been through enough-all the kids had.
If only he'd told Eddie his favorite song when he'd asked.

Summary
Steve Harrington can talk to ghosts. Sometimes. More accurately, ghosts can talk to Steve Harrington, and this fact has already saved his life once. He's really hoping they feel up to helping him a second time around, because it seems like the Upside Down isn't done with Hawkins yet.

Encountering this work a few nights after watching the Black Phone in the cinemas was serendipitous. Whilst watching it, Vance Hopper really struck me as a more unhinged/less MILF lover version of Billy Hargrove. And then I come across this masterpiece! Absolutely in love with the characterisation of Stevie here, the way the ghosts reach out to him - that part with the Russians, Stevie's understanding/speaking Russian because of the ghosts was just *chef's kiss*. The Steddie first encounter. I'm chewing on my thumb, anticipating the coming moments where Stevie is bound to meet the ghosts of those who were Vecna'ed.
