    Summary

    Continues immediately after the events of season 5 episode 7. Basically the finale, but written by someone who actually cares about queer representation. Mike did NOT deserve that absolute assassination and I WILL be doing him right.

    In other words, a fix-it fic based on my last byler theory on my YouTube channel (@i.dontknowhowtodance, the period is IMPORTANT), in which we get a Mike-central finale where byler is canon. I do want to clarify I only watched the finale once and I refuse to watch it again so I might get some plot points wrong but you guys don't care anyway because no one likes the finale.

    Summary

    It’s 10:15 on a Sunday morning, and Steve is on Eddie Munson’s couch.

    More specifically: Steve is on Eddie Munson’s couch, in his boxer shorts and a shirt that's clearly been slept in, eating dry cereal out of the box and blinking slowly at the TV, which is currently playing WWF. His hair is more of a mess than Dustin has ever seen it outside of literal fights to the death. Eddie himself is nowhere to be seen.

    “What the hell are you doing here?” Dustin demands, dropping his backpack just inside the door.

    Summary

    The thing was – of course Eddie knew who Steve Harrington was. Everyone on earth knew who Steve Harrington was.

     

    Hard not to.

     

    He just never expected his celebrity crush would want to come to HIS show, much less that he'd be so eager for a some little pink handcuffs.

    Summary

    Steve moves to Forest Hills because he promised Dustin, and soon thereafter promised himself, that he'd keep both an eye and in touch with Wayne Munson.

    It may have been awkward at first, but he comes around to thinking of Wayne as a sort of stand-in dad. One he never really had. And through time, lots of long late night conversations, a few mishaps with the plumbing in his trailer, and some casseroles homemade, Steve comes to think very deeply about one late Eddie Munson.

    Steve Harrington falls in love with Eddie via Wayne's continuous love for Eddie

    Summary

    Steve Harrington comes out as bisexual—though he doesn't have the word for it—in his late twenties, almost early thirties. He's tired of striking out with girls. But also he's come face to face with the fact that it's just okay to be this, to be him, to want this. Robin did it and Will did it and they're okay, their lives are normal and perfectly okay. They're happy.

    Why does he wait until then?

    Summary

    So, I have a feeling you know what I’m going to ask about, or rather who?
    Yeah, yeah, I know, you and the rest of the world are dying to know about my girl. Hit me, I guess.
    You have a wife.
    That I do.


    Notorious gay rockstar Eddie Munson reveals he has a wife.

    Summary

    The first time Mike feels something is wrong, he's in a black void of his mind, empty except for water lapping at his feet and Eleven standing in front of him, saying tearful goodbye. She’s telling him she loves him, her eyes begging for him to say it back to her. I love you... it would be so easy to say it - he managed it before, even when the context was different, so why is it still such an impossible word for him? It doesn’t feel right, like his teeth clamp down harder than ever to prevent him spilling the truth that’s been hiding in his heart. The void is in his mind, possibly, and all he sees is the black emptiness around him, and he hopes there aren’t any monsters lurking in the dark, just past their line of sight.

    Summary

    (Steddie Bigbang #177)

    Listen. Steve Harrington knew that he had some sins to pay for, okay? He was kind of a stuck-up shit for most of high school and while he didn’t go out of his way to, like, ruin anybody’s day – cough, cough, Tommy Hagan – he also didn’t really reach out to anyone who needed help either. But he’s done the work to be better! Granted, a lot of the work consisted of him getting beaten up and/or tortured by other people while protecting a group of unthankful little shitheads, but it’s still progress. And, not to brag, but he got Robin Buckley as a best friend out of the whole thing, so really, Steve Harrington’s not doing so bad on the whole “redemption” thing, thank you. So why, why does the universe continue to torment him?

    (Or, in the fall of 1985, Steve Harrington joins Hellfire and everything changes.)

    Summary

    “This is your first time?” Joyce cut off Dustin. “Sweetheart, this looks professionally done! Have you ever thought about going to cosmetology school? There’s one in Dayton County, my old friend Sharon went there. She’s got a salon in Indianapolis now.”

    Steph stared at Joyce Byers, and it was like the sun had burst through the clouds, like spring had bloomed after a long winter, like she’d successfully executed a quadruple front flip and her spotters had caught her on the way down. Nothing in the world had ever made more sense to Stephanie Harrington.

    “Mrs. Byers, you’re a genius.”

    Or, Stephanie Harrington does Will Byers' hair, dyes her own hair, and ruins Eddie Munson's life.

    Summary

    “Because I loved him,” Steve said, the words coming out barely above a whisper.

    Dustin blinked. “What?”

    ~

    Steve Harrington had gotten good at pretending. It was practically a survival skill at this point— smile at the right moments, crack a joke when things got too heavy, be the guy everyone could count on. He’d been doing it since high school, and a year after Eddie Munson died in the Upside Down, he’d almost convinced himself it was working.

    Almost.

    The problem was Dustin Henderson.

    „And the storyteller? What about him?”, Will asked into the room, out of the blue. Looking at Mike with that intense glance.
    “The storyteller keeps telling stories”, Mike answered after a moment. “Stories inspired by his friends. One day, he hopes their tales of grand adventure will spread far and wide across the land, so all can know about their great bravery. Even when there are stories he can never tell…”.

    Just that Will didn't let it slide, and after years of keeping it all inside, Mike walls break down and he learns to tell the story after all.

    Summary

    Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.

    “Why don’t you take me on a date then?”

    “Wh— what?”

    “Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”

    Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Will said in a harsh, croaky voice. He felt like his brain was dribbling out of his ears and he fell onto the couch with a small poof of air as he stared at Mike in such a hard daze that it was a wonder he didn’t pass out again. “I - what do you - “

    They stared at each other.

    The air was thick and suddenly it was like Will could taste ozone at the back of his tongue, like electricity was coating his mouth and didn’t leave any room to breathe, to think, and his voice was wobbly, uncertain, as he said, “what do you mean… other boys?”

    ***

    Will tells everybody about his Tammy.

    Mike, of course, reacts in a totally normal way.
