Summary
“Mr. Emerson,” Mr. Widgers started, playing with the chalk in his hands, “I think you have a perfectly fine seat right there,” he pointed next to you, “wouldn’t you agree?”
Gareth glared at him exasperatingly for a brief moment, before shrugging and mumbling a quick, “fine.” He picked up his things, sauntering begrudgingly over to you, and tossing the things atop the desk so they’d slam. It earned a fair couple of snickers, and you just caved in on yourself as he threw himself down.
After a moment, Gareth turned towards you, a bit of both annoyance and hatred in his eyes. He scanned up and down you, before looking you right in the eyes and whispering, “since it seems as though we’re gonna have to spend a lot of time together, I just thought you should know that I really, really hate cheerleaders.”
You blinked, taken aback, “excuse me?”
“You heard me,” he spat, smirking. He leaned in, fire and pride in his eyes, echoing, “you heard me.” He then turned away from you, slumping back in his chair and pretending to focus back on Mr. Widgers.

Summary
“He said, ‘Would you like to go out with me?’ Like that was a normal thing for Steve Harrington to ask me.”
"What!” Gareth exclaimed. ”Do you think that he was trying to make fun of you?”
“I’m not sure. He said that he meant fake dating. He thought it was the best way to prove he’s changed and to piss off dear old dad.”
“What did he say when you said no?...You said no right?”
”He said he would help me study!”
"Pretending to date the boy that you’ve had a crush on for years can't end well.”
Eddie shrugged. “Even if it’s just pretend, if this is the only way I get to have him it will be worth it.”
-
Steve's parents want him to become worthy of the Harrington name. Stop hanging around the kids, stop talking to delinquents and losers. Apply to college and finally start down the path his father had paved.
So of course, Steve starts dating Eddie Munson.
Fake date, of course. He just needs to show his parents they can't control him, and show Hawkins that he's not King Steve anymore.
Eight weeks to get to know Eddie and achieve his goals. He'll leave those two months with more freedom, less glares, and hopefully a new friend. Nothing could go wrong, right? -

Summary
Eddie chuckled before he sat up and leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees as he grinned, “Abso-fucking-lutely not.”
“What do you mean ‘absolutely not’, dork!?” Erica crossed her arms across her chest as she spat out, “You told me to get new players to join the cause. You said you’d help me teach them DnD so I could start my own club at my school.”
“Yeah, I said to get players, but I didn’t say to get…” he gestured dismissively with his hand and scoffed, “This…”
“Oh, are we doing this again?” Erica’s eyes went wide in a mockingly innocent expression, “Do I need to remind you about when you thought I couldn’t play? And do I need to remind you how I wiped the floor with your precious Vecna campaign? Peter has potential, just like me—”
“Relax Lady Applejack,” Eddie smirked then pointed at Peter, “I’ve got no problem with that one, but that one,” he pointed at Chrissy, “That’s the one that I’ve got a problem with.”
“Me!?”
Or the Queen of Hawkins High gets roped into playing DnD by her younger brother and it turns out that the King of Hellfire is the dungeon master. I think we all know where this is going...

Summary
Halloween 84’ could have been a normal night for April. But it was without counting a stupid idea of her best friend, an attack of creatures thirsty for human flesh and a newly turn into a monster Eddie Munson.
Or what happen when instead of following their tradition Eddie and April find themselves in an abandoned clinic.

Summary
Steve never minded living in Eddie’s shadow. He liked the chaos, the noise, the way Eddie looked like he might catch fire on stage at any second. What he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud, were the songs. Every crowd screamed Eddie’s words back at him, but none of them were for Steve. Not the angry anthems, not the messy love songs, not even the ballads that left reporters breathless.
Steve told himself it didn’t matter. He didn’t need the spotlight, didn’t need Eddie to spell his name in lyrics. He just needed Eddie to come back to him when the lights went down.
But five songs in, after years of motel rooms, arenas, fights, and backstage kisses that tasted like smoke and blood, Eddie finally wrote the one that was.
And Steve wasn’t sure his heart could take it.
OR:
Five songs Eddie didn’t write about Steve, and one he finally does.

Summary
All Lizzie Wallace wants is to leave Hawkins in the rearview mirror: the bitter winters, the trauma, her dead-end home life — all of it. With a dream of Yale and a pen in her hand, she’s spent her high school years doing everything right. Everything alone. But her final shot at getting out comes with a condition: tutoring Eddie Munson.
Eddie’s a two-time senior burnout with more charm than motivation and a heart buried under layers of defense. Graduation doesn’t mean much to him — until a sharp-tongued, tightly-wound neighbor shows up in his orbit, offering him a lifeline he didn’t ask for.
A deal is struck. He gets help passing English. She gets a glowing recommendation to escape Hawkins. But the more time they spend together — between after-school arguments, shared secrets, late-night study and D&D sessions, and unexpected laughter — the harder it becomes to imagine a future where they’re not in each other’s lives.
What started as a reluctant partnership becomes something messier. Something real. And as the clock ticks down to graduation, both Lizzie and Eddie have to ask themselves the same question:
If leaving means losing each other... is it still worth it?

The Strange and Sacred Adventures of Church Mouse & The Rebel Knight by imlovemontanaduke

Summary
Reese didn’t come to Hawkins looking for monsters. Or... anything, really. But in a town like this—and a senior year like this—sometimes the strangest things aren't under your bed. They glance at you in the hallway. Or peer at you from behind the Dungeon Master screen.
A quiet story about a cleric and a bard. Moonlight and Shadow. A Church Mouse and a Rebel Knight. A girl and the boy she didn’t expect to understand her, but always hoped would.
Slow burn. Soft moments. Sacred ones. For anyone who’s ever believed in both unicorns and redemption.

Summary
After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

Summary
“I miss you, Munson,” he says simply. “Probably more than what’s normal.”
Eddie cackles. “Normal? Ohhhhh Steve. There is noooothing normal about what’s going on in this head of mine when it comes to you.”
“Yeah, well, likewise,” Steve says back. “You touch your dick yet?”
Eddie busts out laughing, sounding genuinely surprised and flabbergasted. “Yeah, I jerked out a quick one after I sat down with my coffee.”
Steve starts laughing too. “You better not.”

Summary
It's the start of junior year, and I can’t believe Gareth Emerson and my best friend Barbara Holland are dating.
If I wasn’t blindsighted enough, now Barb wants to set me up with his best friend Eddie Munson and drag me to this club called Hellfire or the band practice for Corroded Coffin. What's more, there's a new kid who moved here from California and I might actually know him.
Some things haven't changed though; Barb and Nancy still hate each other, my parents are still six feet under, and I'll never find the amazing mystery boy I met last year since he probably already graduated by now.
All the while, I just wish I had my mom and dad here. There’s so many things I wish I could tell them. Sometimes, I even wish mystery boy was here too, and I wouldn’t have to go through all this alone.
