Summary
Eddie had never been normal. Not by the current definition of it at least. That was fine with him, though. Why try to be something he wasn't? Why force himself to conform, when he'd never be the right kind of guy anyways?
Steve Harrington was that guy. Rich, popular, good with the ladies, and a total douche. At least that's what Eddie had assumed about him. Turns out that he'd been wrong. About everything, the world he was living in, the rules of physics, the existence of magic and on top of that, Steve Harrington's character.
Because Steve's apparently a total badass, and an amazing babysitter, and a total lunatic. Who else would have such a disregard for his own safety? Who else would be completely fine with the idea of sacrificing himself? And who else would truly believe that nobody would really care if he died?
Or: Eddie has a crush on Steve and while he gets to know him he realizes how fucked up the last few years have been for Steve and how protecting a bunch of kids has seriously deteriorated his sense of self-preservation. Angst and fluff ensue. Including: Steve realising that he's not straight, Eddie yearning, and someone finally putting Steve first!

Summary
“Greetings and salutations to you, Harrington!”
And there he was. Just as in your face and over the top as ever.
Only he looked… different. He looked like fucking Bon Jovi. Jeans so ripped they may as well just be shorts and a crop top and hair pulled back into a bun with loose bits falling around his face. In some weird way, the jeans almost seemed more revealing than shorts. They weren’t, of course, Steve couldn’t see the backs of Eddie’s legs or his left knee or either calf, but there was so much open ripping around his thighs that almost seemed more… teasing.
“Holy shit, I can see your whole face.” Steve mumbled out, lips parted in genuine surprise, instantly reaching out to try to touch the bun at the crown of his head.
Eddie batted him away.
OR
Steve agrees to help Eddie paint his trailer, but isn't prepared for the bisexual crisis it sends him spiralling into.

Summary
After everything that happened during Spring Break, life for everyone in Hawkins returned to somewhat normal. Well, aside from Steve's new friendship with one Eddie Munson.

Summary
“They don't even make any sense,” Eddie continued, “they just keep muttering ‘WWSD’ to themselves before completely fucking up all my plans.”
“WWSD?” Steve repeated, “what does that mean?”
Eddie slurped a long piece of pasta up, “hell if I know, they just act so unpredictably.”
“You want me to interrogate Dustin?” Steve offered, “I’ll do it, I promise.”
Eddie laughed, “yeah, I know, Darling, but let's not traumatise him just yet.”

Summary
Steve’s whole body was tingling, as if his very essence was whispering, “Eddie.” Eddie was perfect. Eddie was what Steve wanted constantly. He wanted to be with him, bask in his presence, and Steve had never felt better than when he was hugging Eddie. Just being close to him was intoxicating. And when Eddie said his name sometimes, Steve couldn’t breathe. It was like his body was screaming, “yes.” Steve sighed into his pillow. Why was Eddie making him feel like this? Why did he have this effect on Steve, generating an uncontrollable need to be next to him? And in that moment, Steve lingered on the thought of Eddie’s lips again. And there it was, the deep-seated urge to kiss him. The wave crashed over him without warning or remorse. Steve wanted to kiss Eddie. Really, really badly.

Summary
Okay, so not only is Steve Harrington apparently not a douche, but he’s also kind of a mess?
Now that Eddie is properly looking, he notices the slight bags under Steve’s eyes and how his face is drawn, as if he hasn’t been getting enough sleep. That doesn’t make sense– Eddie would think that Steve is living a cushy life, with his mansion and parents that probably pamper him like a goddamned baby. This Steve doesn’t look pampered at all; instead, Eddie can see a familiar haunted look in his eyes that screams he’s just like you.
••• ••• •••
If you looked up the definition of "fucked-up" in the dictionary, Steve Harrington's face would be plastered right next to it. After living through two Upside-Down debacles now, it makes sense. Eddie Munson doesn't know about that, but he does notice how similar he and the former King of Hawkins High really are.
(Set after Season 2)

Summary
They managed to save Max from Vecna at the graveyard(thank God for Kate Bush)but now Steve was displaying all the symptoms of the people who had been cursed so far.
Steve wasn't buying it. He didn't believe that Vecna would just move on like that if he couldn't have Max. And Steve knew that as soon as he admitted he'd been cursed, Max would give him her walkman since it was the only one they had on hand. He wouldn't risk Max like that. Maybe Vecna was trying to fake them out so he could snatch Max away as soon as she gave up her Walkman. Steve didn't know for sure, but he refused to take that chance. She'd been through enough-all the kids had.
If only he'd told Eddie his favorite song when he'd asked.

Summary
In Miami, on vacation with his parents, Steve meets Eddie. So what if he doesn't get a last name or a phone number, it was a summer fling and they had a great month together. He doesn't realise it was Eddie fucking Munson until the guy has a broken bottle to his neck and they're about to go face interdimensional aliens together. Steve doesn't know when his life became a very fucked up and non-musical version of Grease.
Robin’s lips twitch. “And it was just a summer fling?”
He narrows his eyes at her. “What?”
“You’re such a hopeless romantic, Steve. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with you.” He must look as confused as he feels because she laughs and says, “Dude, you like sighed his name, you’re so done for.”
“Shut up. It’s not like I’m ever going to see him again, is it? I’m never even going to hear his name again. It was a summer fling and that’s all.”

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
Sure, they've saved the world, but the best part of that really is that it doesn't end there and in a town where everyone thinks he murdered a girl, he's at least got Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley. It's really not his fault he accidentally starts living at Steve's house, he was invited, after all. There's a mystery too, about Barbara Holland and Steve's pool.
“Your boner is digging into me,” says Robin, and Steve snorts a tired sort of laugh.
“I don’t have a —”
“You do, I can feel it. Gross.”
“Okay, but it’s only a little one,” he says in a small voice which sounds like he’s impersonating someone.
“Are you ever going to let that go? I peed a little bit when the Russians got the torture devices out, okay?” She sounds amused, though.
Eddie jolts. “Russian torture devices?”
Robin carries on like she didn’t hear him but Steve catches his eye and he’s grinning. “How do you even have a boner dude? You were definitely having a nightmare I know your twitching means a nightmare… Did you have a boner over Vecna?”

Summary
Eddie Munson isn't very good at puzzles.
Well.
He can make them, sure, in the form of weeks-long campaigns for his bandmates and a ragtag group of now sophomores he'd come to adore. He's great at making them. Great at making villains that his party thought they'd had figured out, beaten, only to make a quick 180 and have them come back from the dead for a final, earth-shattering fight. Yeah. He can make them.
What Eddie Munson can't do when it comes to puzzles, is figure them the fuck out. Especially, it seems, when the puzzle comes in the form of a boy one year younger than him and slightly shorter when you don't count his mass of gorgeous hair that makes him, falsely, look taller than Eddie. This puzzle had saved the world with him, had saved him when he was sure he was a goner.
The puzzle's name, of course, is Steve Harrington. King Steve, to many, Hawkins High's golden boy, rich and charming and apparently, a fucking badass.
Eddie never stood a chance.
