Summary
Eddie Munson wasn’t the hero type. He was the guy with the ripped denim jacket, a head full of metal riffs, and a mouth that didn’t know how to keep quiet. Plans? Yeah, he didn’t have many, just enough to get through the night without getting eaten by monsters or shot down by life.
When the Upside Down tore through Hawkins, Eddie found himself thrown into a fight he never signed up for. Between the chaos, the blood, and the few moments of unexpected tenderness, he learned what it meant to burn for something real... even if the world was falling apart around him.
This was his story: messy, loud, desperate — a riff played loud and wrong, but damn if it wasn’t worth every note.
OR:
Five times Eddie Munson tried to convince himself he hated Steve Harrington and the one time he stopped trying.

Summary
Eddie Munson has never had a reason to rent a single movie in his life. He’s a bootlegger, a snob, and completely certain that every tape in Family Video is either mainstream trash or heartbreak in plastic form.
Then Steve Harrington starts working behind the counter.
They went to high school together, sure. But Eddie never talked to King Steve, not even when he secretly thought Steve Harrington was stupidly hot and probably emotionally wrecked in a way that made him fascinating.
Now, Steve keeps recommending him movies. “Watch this,” he says. “Just trust me.”
And Eddie does.
OR:
Five cinematic recommendations Steve pretended were casual, and one quiet gift that made Eddie stop pretending he didn’t care.

Summary
Steve never minded living in Eddie’s shadow. He liked the chaos, the noise, the way Eddie looked like he might catch fire on stage at any second. What he minded, though he’d never admit it out loud, were the songs. Every crowd screamed Eddie’s words back at him, but none of them were for Steve. Not the angry anthems, not the messy love songs, not even the ballads that left reporters breathless.
Steve told himself it didn’t matter. He didn’t need the spotlight, didn’t need Eddie to spell his name in lyrics. He just needed Eddie to come back to him when the lights went down.
But five songs in, after years of motel rooms, arenas, fights, and backstage kisses that tasted like smoke and blood, Eddie finally wrote the one that was.
And Steve wasn’t sure his heart could take it.
OR:
Five songs Eddie swore weren’t about Steve, and one that absolutely is.
