Summary
Steve comes to Eddie's trailer with a very personal problem. Eddie listens, compassionate and judgment-free, and proposes a solution. Completely selflessly, of course; he just wants to reassure Steve that there's nothing wrong with him, or more accurately, his dick. Except for the fact that Eddie's been pathetically yearning for his friend for months now, and is always greedy for whatever scraps of Steve Harrington he can get, even breaking his own heart in the process.
“I think… it’s all just about your state of mind, Stevie. Maybe you just need a different approach. Where there’s no stress, no pressure, just someone focusing on… you. No stakes, no expectations, no judgment on how long it takes for you to… get to a finish line, or even whether you enter the race at all, so to speak. Just let yourself feel good.”

Summary
Magic fucking phone? Either that or Eddie was losing it. Which was not out of the realm of possibility. He hadn't exactly been taking stellar care of himself. But. This felt…weird. Real. Like how he'd known, with Chrissy. Known that as insane as it was, he had seen what he had seen. And had immediately recognized that the world was complicated, and full of terrible, wonderful things.
Things like Steve Harrington believing he had been dating Eddie for two years.
Things like not being alone.

Summary
He's had it all mapped out since he was twelve years old, before he'd had enough money to get out of the county, let alone the state. But Eddie knows the trip to Memphis is what his soul demands; one day he'll walk where the blues were born, will hang out with the ghosts of rock. Worth the wait.
Except, he's suddenly twenty and richer than he'd ever been before, simply for refusing to die. And Steve Harrington is in front of him expectantly, waiting to be invited along.

Summary
Eddie imagines that Steve Harrington probably thinks that he is real hot shit. On top of being a rich prom king, he is also an eroptomancer. A love seer. A soulseer, some people call them – someone able to see the weird magic that connects people in a predestined shit storm of a craps game. He probably thinks he’s real goddamn special. One in a million special.
It’s actually closer to one in five million, but who’s counting?
