Summary
“Why do I always feel like every minute with you is an accident waiting to happen?” Steve asks rhetorically—because they both know it’s true. The only person even more accident-prone than Eddie is maybe Buckley, and Steve swears he loses at least five years of his life every time they’re all together.
Eddie’s pretty sure Steve enjoys rescuing him way too much to mean the annoyance.
Case in point: the gentle hand cupping the side of his face, and the amused twinkle in Steve’s smiling eyes that accompanies his words.
“No idea. But if I die choking on this beauty”—he palms Steve over his jeans—“know I died doing what I love.”
Without much further ado, Eddie finally gets Steve’s jeans open and shoves them down to just above his knees, freeing the prettiest dick the world—or at least Eddie—has ever seen.
Or, Steve and Eddie finally got their act together and are happily in love. This means that Eddie can have his wicked way with Steve whenever he wants. Even before one of Corroded Coffin's soundchecks.

Summary
There’s Eddie—his features as familiar to Steve as his own. He’s wearing skin-tight leather pants, combat boots, and a flowing white shirt that looks like it belongs in a Renaissance fair or a particularly flamboyant vampire movie.
But what makes Steve’s jaw actually drop is Eddie’s hair.
His wild, dark curls—softer now than they used to be, thanks to the haircare routine Steve introduced him to—are—
“You’re blonde!” Dustin blurts out, voice sharp with disbelief.
Eddie’s blonde.
Or: Corroded Coffin are shooting a music video (this is the 90s my friends) and Steve visits his boyfriend on set. When he finds out Eddie changed his hair to blonde for the shoot, his dick has a very strong reaction to it.

Summary
“There was a fire. At the mall. I worked there? At Scoops Ahoy.”
The way he says the last part sounds strange, like it’s really important somehow that Eddie believes him.
“Okay,” he says, then adds, “Is that why you look like that?”
Eddie’s never met a fire with fists, but he wants Steve to tell him what happened—not just assume.
There’s a beat of silence, like Steve’s weighing his options, and Eddie knows a lie’s coming before Steve even opens his mouth.
“Yeah. Building caved in. We made it out—Robin and I. Paramedics checked me over and said I couldn’t drive, so I decided to walk.”
Almost ten miles, Eddie estimates. Sure. Totally normal thing to do in the middle of the night, battered and bruised, after escaping a fire.
But he’s pretty sure that’s all he’s going to get, so he settles on, “Good thing I came along, then.”
“Yeah.”
-------------------------------------------
Eddie doesn’t expect to find Steve Harrington half-dead on a dark road in the middle of the night — or to be the one he clings to after.

Summary
The room in front of them is packed. Jeff can barely make out individual faces in the sea of people—swaying, jumping, cheering them on.
It’s electrifying.
It feels like the old days of fame, when they packed stadiums with hundreds of thousands of fans.
------------------------
Corroded Coffin is back on tour, and things look a little different these days. The venues are smaller, the band older, and the frontman a whole lot more sober. But with Steve at his side and their daughter Ava in the wings (or sometimes on stage), Eddie Munson has never looked more grounded—or more alive.

Summary
Robin: Oh Dingus.
Steve: It’s fine. Sorry. Didn’t want to be a downer. I’ll deal with it. There are people living on the streets and I’m whining about my dad giving me a very well-paying job without me having a college degree.
Robin: You have a right to be upset. Misery is no competition. It sucks that you feel like you have no agency. Maybe there’s something you can do for yourself? Dye your hair black? Get a nipple piercing? That tattoo you were always talking about?
Steve: My dad would kill me if I dyed my hair black.
Robin: That’s not a no to the piercing or the tattoo. Come on, lover boy. Live a little. Be wild. Give your dad the middle finger where he can’t see it.
Or: The one where Steve is tired of living the life his parents want for him. His act of rebellion? Getting a tattoo.
When he meets Eddie, his tattoo artist, he gets so much more.

Summary
Eddie had Poppy and every time he looked at her tiny little face, all he could think was how unworthy he felt.
But Steve—Steve was fucking built for this shit. He held Poppy in his strong arms so gently and he bottle fed her, changed her diaper, played her classical music, talked to her like she was a fully grown adult because he’d read somewhere that it would help with a kid’s development.
Eddie wasn’t cut out for being a father, much less a single father. But he never was a single father, not really. Not with Steve. Steve was always there. Self-assured, offering to look after little seedling and forcing Eddie to go hop in the shower, eat something, take care of himself in a way he hadn’t known how to do in those first few endless weeks.
And Eddie thought that maybe—
He’d thought—
He was so sure that they could’ve been a family.

Summary
"Come on. We don't have much time," the Russian guard whispered as he crouched down and reached into his pocket, pulling out a switchblade.
Steve crowded against the wall and turned his head away, quivering with his hands covering his face. "Please, please don't. Just leave me alone.” He scrunched his eyes closed, bracing for the inevitable impact.
"Sh, sh, sh. You're okay, I'm not going to hurt you," the guard cooed, his Russian accent like velvet, soothing and sincere. "I'm going to take you somewhere safe, yes?"
OR
After the events at Starcourt, the Russians captured and dragged Steve Harrington off to their homeland. But, before they could do the unspeakable, Dmitri Antonov seized the perfect opportunity to sneak Steve away to his secluded cabin until he could safely return home.

Summary
While helping with packing and moving Eddie's stuff to the Munsons' new trailer, Steve and Robin accidentally come across some of Eddie's very private magazines. They decide to hide them at Robin's place until Eddie comes home, and that should be the end of it.
So Eddie's queer. It's not a big deal, because so is Robin. Except Steve can't stop thinking about it, and about their interactions in the Upside Down, and about how nice it feels whenever Eddie looks or smiles at him.
It might be just the flattery of it all, somebody finally being interested in him after a while, that's getting to him. Or is it? Would he feel the same way about any guy? And what should he even do about it?
Steve goes through a complex week of introspection; thankfully, not without his platonic soulmate by his side always ready to talk. And in the end, it doesn't matter if he still has doubts or unanswered questions. One thing he knows for sure: there's something about Eddie that makes him want to just go for it.Written for Steddie Love Month day 22 prompt: battle vest

Summary
“But we’re gonna come and visit you anyway, big guy,” Eddie adds.
“Sure. Just, ah…don’t expect much in the way of entertainment,” Steve grumbles.
“You can just sit there and look pretty, how’s that? Won’t be hard for you,” Eddie replies, smooth.
Steve’s cheeks heat up again.
*****
A traumatic brain injury leads to a downward spiral for Steve. He's dropped from the Blackhawks, his recovery is slow and rocky, and he's got no idea what to do with his life.
Enter his old friends, Eddie and Dustin, who spend their time poking around decrepit haunted locations filming for their YouTube channel. Steve doesn't really believe in all this ghost stuff, but he's got nothing better to do than join them.
Besides, he might just be ever-so-slightly head-over-heels for Eddie Munson.
