The night breeze carries something sweet by Sadstateofaffairs

summary:

“Can we do that again?” Eddie asks quickly and quietly. His eyes are closed.

Steve never wants to close his eyes in the presence of Eddie, ever. He’s far too nice to look at. He moves his hand to his cheek, rubs his thumb on his cheekbone. Eddie kinda sinks into him. Licks his bottom lip, then opens his eyes, “please?”

Oh, fuck. No-one has ever asked Steve for a kiss so politely before.

He’s not sure if anyone has even ever asked.

Their eyes lock, they’re so still. So present.

“Yeah, Eddie, we can do that again.”

or

Steve Harrington is simply trying to get by his final months of high school, when an unlikely friendship with Eddie Munson sparks a cosmic fusion between them, and changes the trajectory of his life.

So tender i’m ended, surrendered to you by Sadstateofaffairs

summary:

“Ground rules,” Steve says as he pushes the door open and turns to face him, walking backwards into his hallway. The dealer is prowling him, stalking towards him, biting his bottom lip.

“One, do not fucking kiss me,” Steve says, clicking on a lamp. The guy nods, taking off his jacket, throwing it on the floor as he stares at his mouth while he talks. “Two, this is a one time thing.”

The guy laughs, grabs onto Steve’s wrists, “that’s not going to be a problem.” “Because once you have me, you’ll want me again,” Steve oozes confidence, all babygirl and bratty. It’s so easy for him to be like this.

He scoffs, “oh please. Who do you think you are? Really?”

He tightens his grip on his wrists and pushes him against the wall. Fuck, okay, it’s going to happen right here.

Or

Steve sleeps around with low expectations and zero intentions for it ever meaning more. Until he meets a guy who makes him want to break all his own rules.

Eddie is Currently Doing That (they high five).

Argyle is It Happened Once In A Dream. (Argyle gives him a knowing nod)

Jonathan code name: If I Had To Pick A Different Nerd (Jon looks equal parts touched and confused).

heaven cannot wait forever by rabidheart

summary:

"There's something to be said about endurance, Steve.

Steve puts his foot on his professor's chair, Jimmy Choo trainer propped there on the worn armrest. The motion widens his legs, leaves the long line of his thigh, the seam of his jeans available to Munson's gaze, if he so chooses to look.

"And you, sir?" Steve bites his lip. "How much longer can you endure?"

(OR: Steve is a spoiled socialite brat who buys his way into college, and Eddie is the edgy arts professor who makes him work for it.)

Lost in the promise you made by Sadstateofaffairs

summary:

“You stalked me here, didn’t you?”

“Didn’t take long to find you. I have those Speedos on radar,” he says, nodding towards Steve’s crotch.

Steve laughs, dropping his head back in dismay. Eddie Munson might be the world’s biggest asshole but he is funny, he’ll give him that.

i come back to the place you are by pizzabones

summary:

Steve should've known that Eddie was lying when he looked right into Steve's eyes and promised not to try any heroic bullshit. He should've known based on their conversation in the upside down that Eddie felt he had something to prove. And he definitely shouldn't have left Eddie to face the horrors of the Upside Down alone. And now? Now Eddie's in a seemingly unending coma and Steve is wracked with guilt. So, he pours himself into trying to fix his mistake. He helps Uncle Wayne move into a new house, he spends hours in the hospital reading to Eddie, and he even keeps the Corroded Coffin boys company. He's getting to know Eddie really well while Eddie's out cold.

 Steve is surrounded by every single person who loves Eddie Munson. How could he not fall a little bit in love with him?

A Thousand Flowers Could Bloom by morningberries

summary:

In the summer of 1991, Eddie attends Steve's wedding.

As he wraps his arms around Steve for perhaps the last time, Eddie reminisces about every intimate moment they shared over the last half-decade. Every time their fingers explored parts of their bodies that never see daylight. Every word they spoke that never left the boundaries of a tightly sealed door.

It's been a cold two years since he and Steve have seen each other—since they've even talked. But the flame that Eddie has always felt for Steve has refused to die. And now he's seconds away from watching the man he wasted his youth loving walk down the aisle.

Each step Steve takes closer to the altar has Eddie wondering if the passion they shared was all in his head, or if maybe—somewhere buried deep—Steve loves him, too. Even if he might never admit it.

OR

The chronicals of Steve and Eddie's lives over the years—the joys, the challenges, and the journey that leads them to a wedding where one is at the altar and the other is in the audience.

The Choice is Yours by Peachesandpears

summary:

In the wake of yet another overtly public scandal, the lead guitarist for the folk metal band Corroded Coffin is sent away to his Uncle’s town of Bumfuck Nowhere, Indiana to spend his summer taking care of himself.

Which said lead guitarist certainly doesn’t need. Because Chrissy is overreacting, and Eddie doesn’t need to be treated like a Victorian child with a prescription for ocean breezes, he needs to be in LA with his band, practicing. Writing. Rehearsing.

He’s fine.

But his manager’s will is iron, and Eddie arrives at his uncle’s door feeling much like the homeless teen he was a mere decade ago, tail between his legs as he asks for more than he’s ever been able to give, and taking more than he can ever hope to repay.

With Wayne taking his arrival in stride, Eddie is forced to integrate himself into this new, slower-paced reality. He harvests chicken eggs. Churns mayonnaise. Takes a stab at home repair and weeds Wayne’s garden, all while eyeing the unfairly hot beekeeper next door.

However as the summer progresses, and Eddie falls faster and deeper than he ever imagined, this new reality forces him to grapple with what his fame has given him, and what it has taken away.
