The (Monster-Hunting) Shop Around the Corner by sparklyslug

Summary
Steve’s life is good. He’s managed to keep Dustin safe, coming up on six years of the two of them criss-crossing the Midwest, tracking down the monsters who are still slipping through the cracks between worlds, and ending them. And he’s got PK686766, who he met in an anonymous chatroom and whose emails are now kinda the highlight of his day. And who can maybe give him a little advice on what to do when a guy you thought was dead suddenly returns out of nowhere, and is now apparently set on blowing up your life.
Eddie’s life is fine. He’s alive, for one thing. Has gotten pretty good by now at his new gig, letting Uncle Sam point him like a cannon at extra-dimensional nasties and go “boom.” Sure, things are a little more complicated now that Steve Harrington has decided to be a massive bitch about Eddie’s attempts to stop his and Dustin’s homicidal amateur crusade against the forces of darkness. But he’s got the next message from Capt200Free waiting in his inbox, and a growing feeling that maybe he doesn't want this little anonymous pen pal situation to stay anonymous much longer.

Summary
“Uh,” Eddie says. “Hey Wheeler.”
“I’m leaving Hawkins at the end of the summer,” she says fiercely. “And I’m not coming back.”
“Oh,” Eddie clears his throat. “Good for you.” It’s a very popular sentiment around town these days, personally Eddie thinks it should be put into practice across the board.
“You’re coming with me,” Nancy says, in a tone that doesn’t really invite discussion or argument.
“Um. Okay?”
Seriously? That’s all you got, man? But before Eddie can get through fully kicking his own ass for that weak response, Wheeler’s giving him a tight nod and a flash of a satisfied smile, before getting back in the car and onto the road without so much as another word or glance at him.

Summary
“I’ve been bringing my flock over these hills for years,” Steve offers. “It’s nice, this close to Hallow’s Eve, around here. The apples,” he gestures towards the stranger with one of them, and takes a big bite. “The leaves changing color,” he says, spitting bits of apple inelegantly into the fire. They pop and sizzle when they hit the flames, briefly filling the air with a spiced, earthy smell.
“This close?” The stranger looks at him, eyebrows raised. He’s got such an expressive face, Steve almost wants to seize him by the cheeks and see how he can stretch it, press it, what shapes it might make in his hands. “How close?”
“To Hallow’s Eve?” Steve loses track of days out here, so he has to retrace the last few sunsets, how many of them have passed since he last waved goodbye to Robin as he brought out the flock. “I don’t know… a week? Little less?”
“That soon,” the man says quietly. Stares into the fire, expressive face gone still. “Almost out of time.”

Summary
Steve leans forward quickly, wrapping a hand around Eddie’s gloved wrist. Eddie’s visor snaps around immediately, opaque black viewport trained intensely on Steve’s hand. He doesn’t let go. Kind of impressed with his own bravery, instead, he gives Eddie’s wrist a squeeze.
“Sit down for a second,” he says. Like this is no big deal. Like he makes a habit of putting his hands on a Mandalorian, like he’s used to the way the bones of Eddie’s wrist feel vulnerable and slight in his hand, a reminder that under all that matte-black armor, Steve suspects he’s actually kind of a wiry type.
Steve’s been suspecting about that kind of stuff a lot. What started as a few idle thoughts watching Eddie and Dustin drill in the little scrubland yard behind his hut have become a lot, uh. More persistent. It’s starting to become a problem.

Let us Dwell in Fair Ithilien and There Make a Garden by materialism, sparklyslug
Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Nov 2023
Summary
'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.
Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'
—“The Steward and the King,” The Return of the King Book Six Chapter Five, JRR Tolkien

Summary
Ever since they were tapped to become the next of their respective kinds, Steve and Eddie have been walking the world together every Christmas Eve. They make a strange pair, Steve a mere man with a nice fur suit, Eddie a hulking beast with horns and real fur.
It's a stark difference Eddie clearly feels some kind of way about.
But Steve doesn't see a monster when he looks at Eddie Munson, not really, not at all.

Summary
“Essentially,” M’Benga says, sounding a bit awkward, which is alarming because Pike’s not sure he’s ever heard his CMO sound anything except absolutely calm and in control, even under fire, so if he sounds like this now it means things are somehow actually worse than Pike thought, “Lieutenant Spock’s unique hybrid biology has…altered the character of his pon farr — the Vulcan mating cycle.”
“Mating cycle?” Pike echoes, incredulous.
