The Time That Is Given to Us by keikei_firefly, Peachesandpears

Summary
A year after Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down, Steve Harrington finds him alive in front of the trailer he used to call home.
But Eddie is different than before. He has ears that peek, bat-like, above his hair and eyes that burn gold in the night, and the memories of his old life, his name, the relationship he and Steve once held, are gone.
Steve is left to pick up the pieces, to help Eddie adjust to his new normal, all while hoping that someday life can be as it once was.
**
“Eddie,” he pleads, “Eddie, baby—”
But Eddie’s eyes are already rolling back, his consciousness slipping as Steve holds him.
“Robin!” He doesn’t recognize his own voice, high and cracking and desperate. “Robin, help me!” He cradles Eddie’s face in his hand and supports him with the other, blood staining his shirt.
Steve doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about anything because Eddie is here. He’s alive. He’s different and bloodied but even as Robin approaches, even as she tells him this looks really bad, Steve, Steve breathes his first full breath since 1986.

Summary
He finds her on Friday, the 18th of November, 1983. She's a small kid, out in the woods and the freezing cold, the first time he's ever seen a girl with hair that short. His parents are leaving for some business trip in the morning. He is going to be alone.
She's alone.
Steve hates the idea of another kid growing up alone.(In which Steve finds Eleven in the winter of ‘83, before Hopper could, and the sudden changes that pull apart his life. Some are far deeper in the bones than he ever could've imagined.)

Summary
In the spring of ‘70, Steve Harrington goes missing for nine years.
He’s taken from his backyard, in broad daylight. No one sees it happen, no one can find any trace of where he went. One day he was there, the next he wasn’t.
Hawkins lab wasn’t a place for kids to live happy lives, Steve learned that first hand.
But, in his time at Hawkins lab, he meets a boy in his dreams. Not every night, but most of them.
When The Upside down invades Hawkins, Steve will do anything to stop it from hurting the people that he loves.
Anything.

Summary
Because once a week, he had the house entirely to himself from nine am to eight at night while he had his usual day off at the library and Robin was in class all day (and Eddie was on tour). He didn’t need the run of it, of course, because Robin would actually kill him if she found out he was engaging in sex acts in the kitchen — but it was nice to know he could be, like, loud and shift if he needed to.
(That, actually, might have been the only other thing Robin judged him for, but, in his defense, he grew up alone in a big ass house — he never really had to learn to be quiet.)
So he took advantage of it, and put on some pretty clothes and imagined some guy railing him in them.
In which Steve has a fantasy. Couple of 'em, in fact.

Steve Harrington & The Voice of Heart by LilFluffyBunBun
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
31 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Steve Harrington was born a mute. To the eyes of his parents and to the people of Hawkins. Steve is seen as Slow, Dumb, along with other slurs. When he presented as an Omega, he was less respected. He is the butt of everyone’s jokes, along with insulting him. No one wants to give him the chance to prove himself. Until Eddie Munson walks into his life and heart.

Summary
The grip he had on Steve’s shirt was strong as he pinned him to the wall, pulling his clothes tight into his fist.
But his eyes…
His face was twisted into a scowl as he glared at Steve with everything he had, but when Steve met those big, beautiful, hazel eyes, he didn’t see the anger or viciousness he was clearly trying to portray, he just looked so scared.
And Steve’s heart went out to him.
It was probably foolish, the guy had him pinned to the wall in his own garage with something sharp pressed against the soft skin of his neck. And yet, the pain and fear he could see in this stranger’s eyes made him just want to gather him close in a hug and let him know that it would all be okay.
God, Robin and Max had always said that his bleeding heart would be the death of him.

Summary
“They don't even make any sense,” Eddie continued, “they just keep muttering ‘WWSD’ to themselves before completely fucking up all my plans.”
“WWSD?” Steve repeated, “what does that mean?”
Eddie slurped a long piece of pasta up, “hell if I know, they just act so unpredictably.”
“You want me to interrogate Dustin?” Steve offered, “I’ll do it, I promise.”
Eddie laughed, “yeah, I know, Darling, but let's not traumatise him just yet.”

Lost For A Long Time (Two Parallel Lines) by steddieeddie
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
10 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Parallel lines are never meant to cross.
They can exist in the same space, but they should continue to progress forward without ever overlapping. They're not meant to get close, they're not meant change the infinite course of the other line.
Steve and Eddie were supposed to be like that. They existed in two separate worlds, ones that were never meant to cross paths.
But, they do.
And it changes everything.

Summary
Eddie snatches up the paper and glances it over. Name, residence – he lives with Buckley? Why would she do that to herself? – previous work, strengths, weaknesses – people pleaser, yeah right – accommodations, blah blah blah.
When he looks up again, Sisyphus, purring loudly, has his full, not-inconsiderable weight pushed into Harrington’s chest, who’s got both his hands petting down his back, fucking cooing.
“Holy shit, I cannot do this,” Eddie says, and then shoves the application back toward Harrington and says, “No.”
or-
Hellfire Books is reluctantly hiring, and Eddie really doesn’t hate Steve all that much in the end.

Summary
Eddie Munson is a fucking liar.
He doesn’t enjoy it or anything… well, that itself is a lie. Sort of. It depends on the reason he lies, if he enjoys it or feels guilty. If he’s lying in the face of bullies to get them off his ass, or to mock them, or trick them? Hell yeah, he enjoys it.
Lying to be near a cute boy who has no damn idea he exists?
Eddie feels like a dirty fuckin’ sinner.
or: Eddie can't swim, can't eat ice cream, and he doesn't have a VCR. Face it, he's never gonna make it. He lies about all three of those things to get close to Steve Harrington.

till it hits you in the head by ilipbutstranger (ilip13)

Summary
"Ugh, Harrington, you’re really… You’re so horribly straight, aren’t you."
"What’s that supposed to mean?!"
"It means…" Eddie drops his hands and takes a deep breath and when he looks at Steve his face looks… different. None of that usual Eddie attitude. In a voice much softer, eyes cast low, he says, "It means, when a guy tells another guy that they’re gay, it’s often because… Jesus fucking Christ." He sighs, rubs his hand over his jeans, swallows. "I’m into you. That’s all."
*
It's the summer after Vecna, everyone is figuring their shit out, and Steve learns that Eddie Munson is apparently into him.

Summary
Eddie was at an interesting crossroads.
Steve was being a brat of the highest order today. The little smirk he didn't even try to hide when he ordered a double vanilla iced coffee with whipped cream instead of the soy latte Eddie had told him to get was only just the tip of the iceberg.

Summary
Eddie guessed that it was his own fault for waiting until the last second to get a new roommate. He should have chosen the smoker. But no, he had to go with the eye-candy. Despite the fact that he knew Steve would never look twice his way, even with the low odds that he even liked men.
But he couldn’t help it.
Eddie had been a failure when it came to romance ever since he moved out of his uncle’s place. Twenty-four years of conservative small town bullshit, all culminating into a complete lack of ability when it came to getting laid. Three more completely dedicated to making something of himself out in the city. He hadn’t been prepared to ward-off the model with the puppy dog eyes and the sob story of his last place flooding.

Summary
“Ow,” Steve says.
Jonathan, undeterred, holds his gaze. “What are you thinking about?”
“Right now?” Steve rubs his cheek mournfully. “Whether your finger can legally be registered as a weapon.”
Steve thinks about how easy things are with Jonathan.

“You’re the farthest thing from a nobody that there is, to— to me,” Eddie says, and it sounds an awful lot like I love you. “Which, maybe, isn’t really worth much, but—“
”It’s worth everything,” Steve interrupts, and it sounds an awful lot like I love you too. “To me.”

Summary
Steve blurts, “I want your sperm.”
The words echo off of the bathroom tile and Eddie is as still as a statue. Nobody moves. Steve feels the mortification rising swiftly like water in a well and he wishes that he could drown in it. It doesn't let him, gathering in his chest and his cheeks and making his entire being tremble with its scope and scale.
Eddie’s quiet for probably ten solid seconds, his face utterly blank and impassive as he processes this statement.
Then he shrugs and starts undoing his belt.

Summary
Sure, he kind of figured people might make it a big deal. After all, it wasn’t just Sam Owens as their coach talking up how this men’s team for USA Gymnastics could be the ones to break the streak since the Trials — it’s the whole of the gymnastics world, and goddamn if people didn’t love an underdog. It’s only that he’d just also sort of figured it’ll be about all of them: him and Lucas and McKinney and the rest of them. But they’d latched onto him, and now Steve has people tweeting about him and asking if he has a girlfriend or a boyfriend or someone, making memes and TikToks and edits, there’s a fucking timer, apparently, on NBC, or so Erica’s saying there’s gonna be (and historically she can’t be trusted not to lie to Steve’s damn face for fun, so he’ll believe it when he sees it, right), when Finals for the team come around, counting down to his event. The Harrington countdown. And, like, someone called him Clark Kent during the team qualifications? Like! What the fuck. How fuckin’ wild, right? Him. Jesus!
Or: This Steve's job is horse. Also, he's got an unfortunate crush on a middle-aged former rock star.
