Summary
Steve Harrington was Eddie Munson's worst nightmare. He was constantly all over him trying to get his attention, whilst his friends teased the life out of him. He was so persistent, asking Eddie to hang out, leaving notes in his lockers. Which Eddie often crumpled up and shoved in his pocket to discard later. But this didn't deter Steve. In fact it only spurred him on more. Eddie was sure Steve thought they were playing the words longest game of hard to get. But Eddie was genuinely rejecting Steve.
Or
Steve has a massive crush on Eddie and fights for his attention. Eddie has issues and thinks Steve is trying to prank him.

Summary
“What do you mean?” Steve asked in confusion. His hands felt wet from the condensation of his bottle and he quickly wiped his hands on his jeans.
Robin was bouncing happily beside him, oblivious to his discomfort.“Oh, he wears a disguise like – you can't really see his face. But I feel like people are really into the whole doomy gloomy metal Phantom Of The Opera thing. They are not that big yet but he has about twenty thousand followers in his own Instagram. Horny girls in the comments included. It was kind of crazy to be honest when I checked it a while ago. But I guess if they ever get super famous at least he'll have his privacy. It's actually kind of clever now that I think of it.”
________
Steve and the singer of a band Robin dragged him to have an encounter behind the bar after the concert. The strange yet fascinating man is masked, even on his social media.

And maybe it's time Eddie Munson finally stopped hiding from the world so much. -

Summary
All Lizzie Wallace wants is to leave Hawkins in the rearview mirror: the bitter winters, the trauma, her dead-end home life — all of it. With a dream of Yale and a pen in her hand, she’s spent her high school years doing everything right. Everything alone. But her final shot at getting out comes with a condition: tutoring Eddie Munson.
Eddie’s a two-time senior burnout with more charm than motivation and a heart buried under layers of defense. Graduation doesn’t mean much to him — until a sharp-tongued, tightly-wound neighbor shows up in his orbit, offering him a lifeline he didn’t ask for.
A deal is struck. He gets help passing English. She gets a glowing recommendation to escape Hawkins. But the more time they spend together — between after-school arguments, shared secrets, late-night study and D&D sessions, and unexpected laughter — the harder it becomes to imagine a future where they’re not in each other’s lives.
What started as a reluctant partnership becomes something messier. Something real. And as the clock ticks down to graduation, both Lizzie and Eddie have to ask themselves the same question:
If leaving means losing each other... is it still worth it?

Summary
“I should go,” Eddie blurts out, standing up so quickly that the chair under him scrapes against the floor like nails on a chalkboard.
Just like that, the spell breaks, and Steve’s smile drops. His brow furrows incredulously. Standing as well, he says, “What? Why?”
If only Eddie could list the reasons.
Sorry Steve, I really thought you making sweet and passionate love to me meant something to you as it did to me, even a fucking modicum. You positively ripped my heart out of its cavity and jump-roped on its remains. Please excuse me so I can stagger out your front door and throw up into your mother’s rose bush.
(or: the morning after, and the days after that.)

Summary
Ever since you escaped from Hawkins Lab, you've struggled to find your place. After you lose Jim Hopper, the closest thing you have to a father, and Jane moves away to California with the Byers, things just get lonelier and emptier for you. Unsurprisingly, being at Hawkins High just deepens that feeling that you don't belong. Except for that one metalhead who makes you laugh like no one else can. You fall hard and fast for Eddie Munson and his theatrics, and he treats you like royalty. Some days you could swear he likes you back, but he's never made a move on you.
It's probably for the best right? He'd freak out if he knew about the things that you can do, and the things you'd been forced to do.-- Starts a little before season 4, carries on through season 4 and then onto my own version of season 5 --

Summary
After surviving the Upside Down, Steve and Eddie are never quite the same. Steve starts relying on Eddie’s chaos to feel alive, and Eddie clings to Steve’s stability like a lifeline—but what begins as trauma bonding spirals into something obsessive. They move in together under the guise of healing, but their apartment becomes a world of rules, rituals, and unspoken agreements.
Steve lets Eddie control the little things—what he eats, who he talks to, when he sleeps—because it makes Eddie feel safe. Eddie stops playing gigs because he doesn’t want to leave Steve alone for too long. They say it’s love. Their friends say it’s concerning.
When Robin tries to intervene, Steve shuts her out. When Dustin asks where Eddie’s been, Steve lies. And when one of them finally tries to leave, the other does something drastic to keep them from going.
Because to them, this isn’t unhealthy.
It’s home.(A.K.A. I'm projecting all of my trauma onto Steve)
