Summary
Steve’s sprawled on the cushioned floor opposite Robin, feet hanging out the back of the van when guitars start playing. It’s almost dreamy, though the guitars are soon joined by something deeper, a cello maybe, and they morph into a slow and sad melody. Steve throws Eddie a look where he’s next to Robin, perched over his rickety lunch box, expertly rolling a joint. He has ditched his jacket; the bats tattooed close to his elbow dancing in the gloomy light.
“Wait for it,” he says without looking up.
Steve waits for it.
Until the melancholic vibe shifts into something a bit faster and decidedly more rhythmical with drums and a bass setting the pace.
Something perfect to get high.
Steve’s head starts bobbing on its own accord and he pretends not to notice Eddie’s satisfied grin.
—
Steve's future is— Yeah, fuck if he knew. Because he's stuck working in a shitty video rental store and soon he won't even have his best friend with him anymore, and he lives in a silent empty house and he's gonna be very fucking lonely.
Except, well, there's also Eddie. And they might actually be becoming friends. Or maybe they already are.

Summary
And that’s how they end up laying down on the splintered wooden boards under Harrington’s little awning out front. Side by side, legs hanging over onto the stairs above the empty lot, passing a joint back and forth. Harrington’s warm where their bodies are pressed together, blowing smoke rings into the night air. So warm Eddie’s starting to feel sick about it, because if he closed his eyes, he could probably pretend there isn’t a damn thing wrong with him.
or: eddie's stuck halfway between dead and alive, cohabitating with steve harrington in a quarantined Hawkins. they've both got some feelings about that. testing the effects of weed on an undead creature is as close as they'll get to actually talking about it, though.

Post season 4 bittersweetness. Doesn’t weed make tongues loose? A kiss in a living room and a look into Eddie’s messy mind.

Summary
Vecna dies. So does Eddie. The world doesn't split open. In the aftermath, Steve goes home to an empty house.
Well. Almost empty.
Steve sighs, hanging his head. One more thing. Then he can go to bed.
The dirty towel can wait until later. He tosses it towards the bathtub without looking and turns to the sink, grabbing his toothbrush and toothpaste. When he looks in the mirror, Eddie’s staring back at him.

Summary
"So, okay, who does that?" Eddie says, leaning in like he's on Scooby Doo. "Who kills the local metalhead freak? And why like this, because, seriously, this is overkill," he adds, holding out his gashed-up arms.
Or: Steve's sick of seeing ghosts, Eddie's got some regrets, and death isn't fair.

Time to hurt and sob and be just a little happy until this story rips you apart and you can’t even blame it because it never lied to you about what it was and was always going to be.

That first kiss fic that I kept scouring the fandom for hours for. Literally cried happy tears when I finally found it again.
