Summary
“God, you really haven’t changed, have you?” Eddie muttered quietly before pitching his voice somewhere between cheerful and mocking, “Still so easy to rile up- you make it way too easy,” then he tilted his head, nearly condescending, “Lemme fix your car, big boy. Then we can chat. Catch up on old times.”
***
It's 1990 and Steve Harrington is lost. He's got it all- the house is on the way, he's teaching the kids, Henderson still pops around from time to time- he should be happy. He should have everything his small town heart desires and wanting anything more- wondering about it- is plain selfish.
Then a sudden guest from the past wearing platform boots and a wicked grin arrives- opening old memories that should have stayed long buried- and turns Steve's world sideways forever.
OR: Pre/Post S5 Rewrite. Eddie Munson survives. Steve Harrington puts up with him. This story tells their past, present and future- what it means to fall out of touch and get right back in it.

Summary
“You gonna try it with Eddie?” Robin asks, twirling her pen. Steve doesn’t like the twinkle in her eye.
“No.”
“Why not? He’s an alpha.” She cocks her head at him. “Are you not into alpha men?”
“No, no. I am. I am, it’s just- Munson? Really? He hates me.”
“He does hate you.” Robin nods in agreement. “Whatever. Go out and serve him.”

Summary
Robin Buckley is a lesbian.
And Eddie Munson is gay.And they’re dating.
Well, at least to the outside world.
And to a very, (very) confused Steve.“I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until
“Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too.
“I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..”
“For you?”
“I know, right, can you believe it?
“You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.”
And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t.
Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.- Language:

Summary
“I mean, what if I never find someone? People like… like me. I’ve never seen it end well.”
“Well, the first step is probably hanging out with someone other than your friend, right? Meet new people?”Will frowns. “But you still hang out with him. How’re you supposed to get over Eddie if you’re still hanging out with him all the time?”
Steve’s eyebrows shoot upwards. "Uh. What?"
---
Touched and a little confused after Will Byers came out to him, Steve decides he'll do anything in his power to make the kid feel a little less alienated. Including orchestrating a pretend relationship with Eddie Munson.
