Summary
Eddie had never really been one to be shy, and certainly not about love. Sure, he’d had relationships back in high school he’d kept quiet about, partially for fear that whatever bi-curious boy who’d turned their gaze onto Eddie this week would knock his head in, but mostly because that wasn’t actually love.
Steve, however. Now that was love.
Steve. His Stevie. His sweet little baby. His darling princess.
You can imagine, therefore, the type of pain he was in on tour: no Stevie for almost the entire thing, with the only respite being an Indianapolis stop months into the tour.
You can also imagine how tired everyone on the tour was of hearing about Eddie’s girlfriend Stevie. The best workaround for killing Eddie appeared to be placing bets on what exactly Stevie was like.
OR: 5 times Corroded Coffin’s tour crew made an assumption about Eddie’s Stevie + 1 time they were all proven wrong.

Summary
“One of my students wears a Corroded Coffin shirt to school every day.”
Eddie laughed, wiggling out of his tight pants, and tossing them to the corner of the room to wear again tomorrow. “Kids got taste. You want me to sign something to give to him?”
Steve's students are huge Corroded Coffin fans and he has to pretend he’s not dating the face of the band.

Press Those Honeyed Lips To Mine (And Call It A Lullaby) by StarlightDreamer16

Summary
Maybe it was because it was only the 18th day of the month and three different girls had already convinced mindless gossip magazines to publish articles about the wild love affair they had with Eddie Munson, or maybe it was because of the smug smile she had given him after Eddie had walked away, or maybe it was just that King Steve had never fully died when it came to defending the people he loved.
Whatever the reason, he turned towards the girl before the reporter could sink her nails into her and drag her away for their fifteen minutes of fame and said, “prove it.”
--
There were upsides and downsides to hiding his and Eddie's relationship for the past decade.
Upside: Neither of them had been beaten to death for being a Queer.
Downside: The girls that followed Eddie from concert to concert had the ridiculous idea that Eddie was single.

Love and other Catastrophes at the Omega Café by katya1828

Summary
“Hello, Kitty.” Eddie shoved his thighs forward and Steve laid his head on them, heart pattering like a little prey animal’s. Eddie didn’t mess around. Strong fingers plowed straight into the springy mass of Steve’s hair. “You have got the cutest purr I ever heard.”
Or, Steve is a runaway Omega who gets a job at an Omega café, where he’s basically paid to curl up and purr in Alphas’ laps (like a cat café🐈⬛) It’s legal, and he earns a living, rents his own place. He’s getting along fine for a packless Omega. Then Alpha rockstar Eddie Munson turns up for an hour of ‘kitty’ petting, and shatters Steve’s fragile little world...

Summary
In a society where Omegas are the dominant secondary gender, it's not uncommon for Alphas to compete for their attention, showering them with gifts and trying to prove their worth.
For Eddie Munson, presenting as an Omega has been nothing but a pain in the ass. All the Alphas who used to push him around and call him a freak are now falling all over themselves trying to court him. As if he could forget the years of bullying they put him through.
Is there a single Alpha in all of Hawkins who can crack through his icy exterior and thaw his cold, dead heart? He sure has hell doesn't think so.
