    Summary

    Steve knows the complicated jumble of feelings that Eddie is dealing with well–it’s the way he felt while Dustin told him not to worry about Max driving the car, pressing an ice pack to his battered face, the way he felt when he realized that, despite everything, they hadn’t been willing to leave him behind.

    To be loved, to be shown love, is a concept that Steve still struggles with, even when he craves it desperately.

    Summary

    “I missed you,” he says honestly, the words muffled into Eddie’s skin, and something within him just—

    Clicks into place.

    Eddie doesn’t waste a second in climbing up onto the bed to hold Steve, too, his hands stroking up and down his back.

    Steve continues to murmur, “Even though back then, I didn’t really know you—I missed you so much when you were gone.”

    “Hey, hey, it’s alright,” Eddie says, and he draws back if only to run his hands through Steve’s hair softly, pushing the strands back just to lay soft lips at his temple. It feels like love, so it must be.

    Love.

    He needs it. So much he’s dizzy with it. He leans into the touch.

    Eddie smiles against his skin. “I never left.”

    Steve Harrington wakes up in a world where he is loved.

    It's not real.

    Summary

    Four months after he comes out on the floor of the Family Video bathroom, Robin sits him down on his bed.

    “Okay, I’m gonna suggest something completely insane, but I’ve actually put a lot of thought and research into it and I need you to hear me out.”

    Steve squints suspiciously at her, but shrugs agreeably. “Yeah, okay.”

    “We should get married.”

    Summary

    When Steve gets trapped in the Upside Down, Vecna offers him a deal: become lieutenant of the monster armies and gain some of Vecna’s power, in exchange for being the bait to lure his friends back to rescue him. Steve takes the deal, believing wholeheartedly in the Party’s ability to save him and finally kill Vecna, but discovers quickly that his power to infiltrate the memories and dreams of people in the real world is very limited; in fact, he can only visit one person in his new monster form.

    Thus begins Steve’s haunting of Eddie Munson, who, coincidentally, has been in love with Steve since they started secretly hooking up after a Halloween party in 1984.

    Or: Steve is Kas, and also Eddie's secret boyfriend.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson, with no future left for him in Hawkins, grabbed his band, dragged them to California, and gave up everything for a chance at fame.

    For the first time in his life, taking a risk paid off. Corroded Coffin shot to the top of the charts in a matter of months. Their concept album may have been inspired by Hawkins, but Eddie never had to think about that awful fucking town again.

    Or at least, not for three years.

    In 1989, after the last show of Corroded Coffin's "Nails in the Coffin" tour, its frontman finds himself speeding down the highway from Indianapolis back to Hawkins. Back home. To save the people who saved him back in spring of 1986.

    He arrives just in time to see Steve Harrington rise into the air.
