Summary
“Is this going to be a thing, Harrington?” Eddie asks. “You, encroaching on my sacred after-school ritual? Me, giving you advice on your woeful corn-fed white-bread courtship of Nancy Wheeler?”
Steve shrugs. “If you’re offering,” he says.
Eddie thumbs his lip in consideration. He waits a beat, then one more, before circling in on Steve, one ringed hand outstretched – a handshake, offered.
“Fine,” he says, generously. Steve makes to grasp his hand. Eddie snatches it back. “But!” he exclaims, “I want something in exchange.”
“What is it?” Steve sighs. “Money? Girls? Popularity? Because, I’ll be honest, man – with your— uh— reputation… there’s only so much I can do.”
A Cheshire grin curls across Eddie’s face.
“A favour.”
It's 1987. Dustin's learning to drive, Robin thinks she's psychic, and Steve's trying to figure out where he went wrong befriending Eddie Munson.

Summary
“I’m coming, man. Jeez. This isn’t life or death.”
Steve opens the driver’s side door roughly. “Alcohol thins your blood. Lose too much and it will be life or death.”
“It’s just a flesh wound,” Eddie insists in a bad British accent as he plops down in the passenger seat. When Steve only gives him a blank look, his grin falls. “Monty Python and the Holy Grail? No? Come on, dude, how do you work at a video store?”
(Or: The aftermath begins to set in. Sometimes, comfort can be found in the oddest of places.)

Summary
Steve Harrington never planned for Eddie Munson.
Steve was supposed to marry his high school sweetheart, have 2.5 children, and take over the family business. He was supposed to live a blissful life on a nondescript cul-de-sac, complete with a white picket fence and a closet full of tasteful polo shirts. He was supposed to make a graceful transition between being the golden boy and being the American Dream.
Mediocrity was what destiny had designed for Steve. Reality had other plans.
(Or, Steve and Eddie, against all odds, fall in love)

Summary
Eddie imagines that Steve Harrington probably thinks that he is real hot shit. On top of being a rich prom king, he is also an eroptomancer. A love seer. A soulseer, some people call them – someone able to see the weird magic that connects people in a predestined shit storm of a craps game. He probably thinks he’s real goddamn special. One in a million special.
It’s actually closer to one in five million, but who’s counting?
