Summary
It's just a job. Wear a silly elf hat, chat to kids, and help families get their dream Christmas photos with the definitely very real Santa who is also (for some reason) hanging out exclusively in their local mall.
Steve knows this. But no amount of knowledge in the world could prepare him for Eddie Munson: a man with a strange relationship with Mall Santa and a very cute baby in his arms (that doesn't even belong to him).

Summary
There’s a few things Eddie notices when he wakes up.
One, he bites his tongue. It hurts. Of course. The weird thing, though, is he doesn’t taste blood. But he knows he bit it hard and it’s throbbing behind his teeth. He tastes something, and his mouth feels wet but there’s no metallic flavor (metal. He likes metal. He’s remembering). It’s smoother. More earthy.
Two. He’s alone. Completely. No Dustin. Or Robin or Nancy or Steve or anyone.
Three. He’s sore. His whole body aches, his skin is thrumming with it. His neck especially, and his sides like where Steve was bitten, too.
Four. He’s got to blink a couple times to realize this one. Let his eyes adjust from the pitch black of being closed to the dim blue haze of the Upside Down. Yeah, that’s what he realizes. He’s still there.
Five. He’s fuckin’ starving.
In which Eddie wakes up with sharp teeth, Steve has a thing for tongue piercings, and it takes a while for them to figure out what all of that means.

Summary
“Hey newbie. Ever worked in a bar before?” the guy asks with an easy smile. Steve snaps his eyes up to meet his, and shit they’re pretty. The greeting would be charming from anyone else, perhaps even from the guy himself if he’d not overheard the exchange moments before, but Steve’s insides curl at the condescension.
“Yeah. For about five years. Thanks. And my name’s Steve,” he responds, voice clipped. He yanks at the ties of his apron, knotting the bow just a little tighter than is comfortable. He’ll have to adjust it later, but the man’s dark eyes are roaming over him like he’s something edible, and there’s no way Steve’s going to give any indication whatsoever that he’s prey.
“Nice to meet you, Steve. I’m Eddie.”
Steve can’t prevent the way his face scrunches in confusion, because surely not. There’s no way that this is the Eddie. Sure, he’s not exactly hard on the eyes, but from the little Steve’s experienced of him so far, he seems like a major ass. The way Bridget had hyped him up, anyone would think fucking Jon Bon Jovi worked here.
OR
when the upmarket cocktail bar Steve's working at goes out of business, he finds himself in desperate need of a job.

Summary
After everything that happened during Spring Break, life for everyone in Hawkins returned to somewhat normal. Well, aside from Steve's new friendship with one Eddie Munson.
The gang decide they all deserve a break and head to Steve's family beach house for a week, featuring copious amounts of fluff, found family bonding, blurring (or completely ignoring) the line between platonic and romantic, and bullying being considered flirting.

Summary
"He washes his wounds off, sparingly, with water this time. He figures it’s probably time to do so. Maybe he’ll be okay.
He falls asleep in the bathtub with a chair wedged against the bathroom door to keep it from opening.
He dreams he’s hanging on in the back of the RV they stole, and Steve Harrington is yelling at him.
“Hang on!” he’s saying, “Hang on!”"
——————————
Eddie Munson is stuck in the Upside Down. Barely alive.
Steve Harrington is trying to sleep and failing at it, miserably.
What a strange thing it is, to save the world alongside friends

Summary
“I… We should go.” Eddie slipped out of Steve’s reach and made a beeline to the door, stopping to slip on his boots. Steve’s stomach nearly fell out of him. Had he fucked up so royally the night before that he couldn’t come back? No. The whole year, Steve had to remind himself. It had only been a night for Steve. For Eddie, it had been an entire year of pining and expectations that had been broken. That was going to take more than 5 dozen carnations, a compliment and a kiss on the cheek was going to fix.
Steve gets his second date.

Summary
“What are the plans for today?”
Her brow raised further and her easy smile dropped. “Why would we have any plans today?”
Steve’s heart sank into his stomach. He felt like throwing up. All these years, speculations, and cards from his father’s secretary, that was it. That was the official confirmation, that his parents really never cared to remember him. To remember the day he was born, celebrate the fact that he was here, that he was alive and standing in front of them, their son.
But when he’d pressed further, “It’s April 24th, Mom,” all he’d gotten was a scoff from his father.
“Oh, right. Your birthday.”
Or: 5 times Steve Harrington felt alone on his birthday, and 1 time he didn't.

Summary
It's 1992, and Steve is far from Hawkins, running. Afraid and alone with his only friend, Ozzy—a beautiful golden retriever, he manages to find someone he thought he'd never see again. Only to be deceived, breaking all laws of physics and the universe, yet had been given a gift at the exact time.
▪︎
He did not feel bound to life anymore. He did not feel bound to gravity, despite the inevitable falling. And especially, he did not feel bound to time. Ticking of clocks—they were everywhere—were all of different speeds, pitches, colours and auras. Nothing mattered.
This was not the upside down, no. Eddie was right. Steve had managed to exist in all three tenses.
