Summary
Eddie doesn't know how they've gotten to this place where sometimes Steve just turns up like a bad penny, bloodied and hurt, like he's looking to Eddie to fix it.
Eddie can't fix anything. He can't even fix himself.
He can't even graduate high school. He definitely can't fix Steve Harrington's internal or external wounds.
Or:
Eddie finds himself watching, year after year, as Steve Harrington turns up at his place of work, beaten and bloodied.

Summary
That's when he sees the headlights. At first, he's sure it's a trick of the light. The mountains do that, sometimes. Ghost lights. Headlights that seem to be coming your way, but never arrive. Blinking out of existence like they were never there at all.
Eddie thinks that seems fitting. He kind of did the same thing. He feels like his past life was a mirage, all smoke and mirrors. A trick the universe played on him.
It's not until he hears the crunch of tires, slow, steady, equipped with chains at least, that he knows someone is actually approaching.

Summary
Eddie's fingers are hunting and pecking across the keyboard in the hotel business center, using this newfangled internet thing he doesn't really understand. The words are swimming in front of him, and he blinks, trying to open his eyes wider to focus better. As if that'll straighten it all out.
He's tipsy from the afterparty, and probably should just go to fucking bed, but he's a man on a mission. Suddenly obsessed with finding out whatever happened to Steve Harrington. From Hawkins. From high school. From the Upside Down. That Steve Harrington. You know, the one with the hair.

he had a marvelous time ruining everything by thisapplepielife

Summary
His reputation precedes him. It always has, ever since he was a kid. Now, Eddie relishes ruining everything these uppity ups hold dear. He enjoys annoying the shit out of this small seaside town. Buying the old mansion on the water, fixing it up, and then painting it black. An eyesore in the middle of the other cookie cutter houses, all painted very appropriate shades of white.
Gareth named it The Frog Pot, declaring that he's sure Eddie's slowly boiling himself alive in that heat trap. Eddie has embraced the name. Ceramic frogs decorate the porch, the yard. The uglier the better. All the eccentricities he's ever had, growing worse with age. With boredom. With becoming a widower. She'd been the one to keep him grounded, and now he's untethered.
Mad Munson.
The Freak.
A Problem, with a capital P.
