Summary
The phone rang.
Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.
***
Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.
But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.
When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.

Summary
Experiment Seven survived the attack that day at the lab. Well, he didn't survive so much as he cannot stay dead. With the discovery of Eleven's abilities to open portals and see into the strange realm where she had sent One, Brenner currently is not in need of Seven's abilities. So he sends Seven to stay with a couple who work at the lab. Out of sight--but not out of reach.
Meanwhile, Seven--No, Steven now. He is discovering so much about the world with his new best friend named Eddie. But pretty soon things start to go wrong for him when Eddie starts to question Steve's problematic family life.
(Begins in the 8th Grade, continues through every year of High School. Goes through every season.)
Just past s3.

Summary
“Wait,” Steve frowns, “woah- hang on. What are you asking here?”
Eddie swallows. “I’m asking… I’m asking for your words, man.”
“You want my-”
“Your help. Your lyrics. Your lines- I mean fuck, Harrington- you’re wasting this shit here. It’s a goldmine. This notebook alone- and again,” Eddie grimaces, “I’m like, really sorry for snooping- but-”
“You want to turn that into songs?”
Eddie nods.
Steve’s mouth hangs agape. Eddie can see a little of his tongue like that, pink and wet, and he looks away quickly.
“What? No. No fuckin’ way.”

Summary
Eddie Munson’s seen enough of Steve Harrington to last a lifetime. He’s rich, popular, mean for sport, and somehow manages to turn every house party into his own personal ego parade. Between that and the fact that Steve and his jock buddies have made Eddie’s life miserable since freshman year, Eddie’s got plenty of reasons to hate him. Then one night, Eddie finds Steve somewhere he never thought he’d be, and suddenly “King Steve” doesn’t look quite so untouchable.

Summary
The man in the woods didn’t inspire dread at first glance. He wandered as aimlessly as a week old lamb, lifting one hand to trail it through the sweeping branches of the willows on either side of him.
A strange man wanders near Forest Hills, straying near lingering danger. A callous prince controls the palace, holding Eddie’s fate in his capricious hands. They look the same, though they couldn’t be more different — two men in the same body in a way that shouldn’t be possible in the wake of magic being purged from the kingdom. It would be wiser to weather the consequences for thievery with his head down rather than involve himself in a mystery, but Eddie has never been known for his wisdom.

Summary
Everyone thought Steve was the king of Hawkins High, that no one could touch him and that nothing could bother him. Eddie was a part of that crowd until by chance he came across Steve's attempt to jump from Hawkins' water tower. Unable to sit back and watch the annoying jock die, Eddie entered into an agreement with Steve. He'd help Steve make a bucket list and if Steve still wanted to die once all the items were crossed off then Eddie wouldn't stand in his way again. Now it's up to Eddie to show Steve that life is worth living, and possibly fall in love along the way.
