Summary
Robin is lucky. She is standing in the middle of the brand new mall, about to start her summer job, and she is repeatedly trying to remind herself that she is lucky. She's lucky she found a summer job at all, she's lucky she got one in the new mall, with air conditioning, and she's lucky she didn't have to start until school was over.
But she is in a ridiculous uniform, staring at Steve Harrington in a matching ascot and sailor's hat, and can't quite convince herself that it's luck. Maybe it’s karma. It definitely is for him. But she doesn't know what she did to deserve this. Maybe it was for something in a previous life.

Steve surprises him, matching Eddie’s usual theatrics, “Here lies King Steve, long gone but unfortunately not yet forgotten.” Steve throws his hands out in front of him like he’s pointing out and praying over his own grave in the shallow part of the quarry, like it's no big deal.
Eddie whistles, “Oh yeah, what was the cause of death?”
or
In the aftermath of Starcourt, Steve asks Eddie to meet him at the Quarry. Eddie is just trying to survive.

The Deeper Meaning of Shirts by chamomiletea (airandangels)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
(Let us assume a time in which Eddie survived season 4, I shall explain how if you are patient, and the strange things are more or less over.)
Eddie likes his shirts. That’s safe to say. He has a respectable collection of band shirts, mostly black tees bought at concerts or from thrift stores with their prints faded and peeling from wear and washing, plus of course his treasured Hellfire Club shirt and the big cozy red and black flannel that he adds to his personal uniform of double denim and leather for another layer of warmth in winter. They're a fine practical piece of clothing, no question, they're good for expressing yourself with pictures and slogans, and they can have a lot of sentimental value depending on the experiences you've had with them. He hopes one day kids will feel that way about their Corroded Coffin shirts.
All of that, he'd say, is a normal and reasonable way to feel about the humble shirt.
What's not normal or reasonable is his whole Steve shirts thing.Bookmarked by shydecember

Summary
It's summer, 1985. Eddie Munson has an actual legal job for a change, at the record store in the new Starcourt Mall. It's not without its hardships but the job also its compensations - there's the employee discount, of course, and then there's the fact that he finds it absolutely hilarious that one of the most annoying, arrogant, irritatingly perfect-looking guys from school is stuck working at the ice-cream parlour in the mall, wearing a silly little sailor suit.
It becomes less hilarious when Eddie realises he actually kind of likes him now.

Summary
The first time he hears Dustin and Mike mention the name Eddie Munson he almost walks into a VHS display at work.
Steve wants to ask them how Eddie’s doing but then his face from that last party flashes into his head and he always clams up. If he was Eddie he’d want nothing to do with him and rightly so.
Instead Steve teasingly complains about how much time they spend with Eddie and that’s as far as it goes.

four puffs of farrah fawcett spray (and a mouthful of UD pollen) by oaseas for steveharringtoned
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Steve cops a faceful of Upside Down flower pollen in the tunnels, hours after Billy Hargrove tries to punch Steve's brain out the back of his head. Beyond the general hubbub of UD bullshit, Steve thinks he's made it out pretty much unscathed.
Months later, he makes a discovery. Turns out, he's much more intact than he'd thought. As in, his skin is baby smooth. Even the scar on his knee from his ill-advised ‘77 summer of skateboarding has disappeared.
OR: Steve Harrington can take a hit. He can take many hits. In fact, thanks to the Upside Down, there isn't a hit Steve can't take.
