    Summary

    It’s 1996.
    Ten years have passed and everything has changed.
    And for everyone Steve loves, it’s been for the better: Robin is elatedly working her ass off in the city, Dustin is across the country working a computer job that Steve only pretends to understand, Max and Lucas are a picture of domestic bliss off in Michigan, and Eddie is a bona fide fucking rock star.
    Everyone has everything they’ve always wanted.
    But Steve? Well, Steve’s working an office job that he hates, all of his friends are woefully out of reach, his marriage has reached its breaking point—and he hasn’t got the damnedest clue who he is anymore.
    Just before he can truly capitulate to all he’ll never be, a call from Robin forces a reunion with his on-top-of-the-world former friend, Eddie Munson. And during one fateful week that follows, Steve is finally able to answer every question he’s ever had about himself.
    For better and for worse.

    OR: it's 1996. Eddie's a rockstar. Steve's getting a divorce. Steve is taking it super well.

    Summary

    When Eddie comes out as gay, he assures Steve that he doesn’t find him hot. Steve tells him it’s fine, he even teasingly asks what he should do to change that. It becomes a thing. A way to always make Eddie laugh, blush and relax around him—but as the days and weeks pass, Steve begins to realise that maybe there’s another reason why he cares so much that Eddie Munson finds him pretty.

    Summary

    Eddie is having the worst day known to man. It might qualify as a catastrophic event. Missing homework, lunch spilled on the cafeteria floor, broken strings at band practice, and that's not even touching Steve Harrington.

    Steve Harrington who keeps talking to him like they're friends. Steve Harrington who has become a new person overnight. Steve Harrington who keeps making hypotheticals about time loops. Steve Harrington who is somehow the best and worst part of his day.

    Summary

    Being dead isn’t like Eddie thought it would be.

    For starters, he’s a lot more alive than he expected.

     

    or, the ghost of Eddie Munson’s still hanging around, and he’d really appreciate if someone could notice him, thanks

    Summary

    The day before Eddie had to leave to go home again, Steve cried.

    It was a secret that Steve kept close to his heart, that he knew Eddie Munson, that he'd known him long before Vecna, or the Upside Down, or even Nancy Wheeler.

    To him, Eddie would always be summer sunshine and ice-cream melting down his hand and sweet laughter in the shade of the woods.

    It was just a shame that Eddie seemed so determined to forget.
