Summary
"It wasn’t any use to get, what was basically Eddie’s family, to like him. He knew deep down that they wouldn't see that he changed, or at least tried to. Even some of the party still didn't realize that. It hurt, it really did, but he couldn’t force people to like him or realize how much he has tried to change. And if he were in their shoes he would have trouble realizing that too. Hell, sometimes he still acted all bitchy; which never really helped his self loathing."

Or Steve struggles with not feeling good enough in his relationship and his boyfriend's family hating him does not help

Summary

Keep the kids alive.
The fact that he's bleeding through his jacket is a problem for later.

Summary
Nothing has been coming up Steve Harrington, lately. No relationship has panned out since Nancy left him, he didn't make it into any colleges, so now his father is making him work a minimum wage job at the mall, where he wears a ridiculous sailor costume and his coworker seems to hate him for no reason. It only tracks that now Steve is running late to said job at Scoops Ahoy. So who else would would the universe send to get stuck with him in the mall's revolving door but grade A annoyance Billy Hargrove? Wait, that was a rhetorical question—

Nothing Looks The Same In The Light by Pacific_Restless_Sleeper
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
With all the supernatural, inter-dimensional terrors, it's sometimes easy to forget the mundane, real world horrors that plague the world.
Steve goes missing shortly after his parents unexpectedly arrive back home. Dustin rallies what remains of the Party after half their team has left for California to try and get him back. Except this time it’s not the Upside Down, just good old fashioned human prejudice. To spring Steve from the conversion therapy camp his parents sent him to, the Party turns to a new, tentative ally who has some experience in criminal acts, general misbehaviour, and maybe even the very place Steve’s been sent to: Eddie Munson.

Summary
A hot summer's day, windows cranked down, and the road empty as far as the eye can see. Eddie's cruising through Hawkins as if he's running out of pavement, itching to get home and waste his college free summer away. That is until—
There's a red BMW on the side of the road. One he recognizes. Steve Harrington's red BMW.

Uniform, Superman and Tom Cruise by Ragana (EsperoVona)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
01 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Maybe the uniform was scandalous. Maybe it attracted the attention of alphas. Maybe Steve was having a little more fun with it than he probably should have... But how was he supposed to resist teasing overly confident alphas and harmlessly flirting with the nicer ones? Unless someone decided to be a jerk to him. In that case, Steve intended to be a petty bitch about it. The problem was that Eddie Munson was acting strangely enough that Steve couldn’t figure out which category of alpha to put him in.

Summary
The merman doesn't make a sound, but as Eddie cuts away more and more of the net, he seems to relax a tiny bit. Those sharp eyes never leave Eddie's though.
"My name's Eddie. Do you have a name?"
No reply.
"Your scales are…really pretty," Eddie continues. "I bet they shine in the sun."
At that, a small noise escapes the merman, a quiet trill.
"Oh? You like compliments, huh?" Eddie smiles. "So you can understand me."
"Some," the merman croaks. Weakly, he holds up a hand, brings his thumb and forefinger less than an inch apart, indicating small.
*****
To most people, merfolk are dangerous beasts, evil, hunted down and their scales sold for high prices. To Eddie, they're kind and fascinating creatures from his uncle's old stories, and something he's longed to see for years.
When Captain Creel drags a captured merman on board Eddie's ship, he gets his wish.
Steve is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, and Eddie's going to free him or die trying.

Summary
The neon lights flickered and pulsed rhythmically against the smooth surfaces of the lavish after-party venue, illuminating the jubilant crowd's faces and the chatter of the elite, whispering like music in the air. Ten years had flown by since they’d closed the last gate in Hawkins, though the memories still haunted him sometimes, lingering like shadows on the edges of his mind.

“Weird,” Steve says after a minute or two.
“Huh?” Eddie flinches. “Ugh, shit, sorry. It's like three years old, so the taste is probably-”
Steve huffs.
“No, the tea is fine,” he claims. He still looks infinitely tired, but the corners of his lips twitch as he regards Eddie over the rim of the cup. “It's just … We've been alone in a room for more than five minutes and we're both still fully clothed. Must be a first.”

Summary
Three teenaged boys, one chilly morning in the library. First chapter is from Jonathan's POV, we then follow the rest of the memory from Eddie's POV in the second chapter.
"As he mulls it over, he makes a big dramatic sigh, and turns around to walk back to the library. He sits down on the bench outside, and lights up a cigarette. He might get caught, right here in the middle of the school's lawn, but he justifies it; Top Priority for this Operation. He's gonna need one if he has to talk with this Johnathan kid again."

Summary
Steve must sound and look as confused as he feels because Eddie softens, shoulders slumping like he’s getting ready to bare his soul and accept the consequences.
“I’m asking you.”
Right. Right.
Yep. Yeah. Yes.
No fucking shit.
Why is Eddie speaking in riddles? They’re not near a goddamn bridge. He's always blatant. Says what’s on his mind whenever he wants to say it. Ideas, desires, insults, profanity, jokes, demands, etc. He’s a horse with no bit, a dog with no muzzle. Usually. But he’s holding Steve’s gaze like he’s waiting for Steve to receive a signal. A flashing light flickers inside the lighthouse of his eyes, urging Steve on a sandy shore to pick it up.
Here’s a signal for you:
S.O.S.
Or maybe:
W.H.A.T. T.H.E. F.U.C.K.

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.
