    Summary

    Eddie thinks that he’s probably judged Steve too quickly. He thinks Steve’s probably full of surprises, if the past two years are anything to go by.

    And then, of course, Steve just has to prove him right by stepping out of his BMW in a full sailor suit fantasy that not even the most depraved recesses of Eddie’s mind could have cooked up. Jesus. He’s got the little hat and everything. Cute tiny shorts, too, that are regrettably not as short as the ones included in the Hawkins High gym uniform, but still short enough for Eddie to be able to appreciate Steve’s legs. He has nice legs. Good knees. White socks pulled halfway up his calves, for some reason, stark against his golden tan skin. Wispy little hairs that probably go up his thighs. Eddie needs to stop looking at his legs.

    “Eddie Munson,” Steve calls as he approaches, his voice all easy and light like they’re actually friends. “Hi.”

    Eddie blinks at him.


    Because Eddie's life can never be normal, the summer of '85 finds him working a firework stand just outside of Starcourt Mall, catching up on school work, and tutoring Steve Harrington in all things D&D.

    Summary

    They’re down three members, because Doug and Ronnie graduated, and Frank’s been noncommittal since managing to drag himself out of bed, so it’s not like Eddie can tell Robin to get lost.

    It’s not like he wants to, either, which is a thing, because Robin hates metal, but is apparently some kind of music savant. She moans about callouses and her fingers bleeding, but the fucking voice on her, Christ. It only takes her to mid-September to learn a good chunk of their set list. Jeff looks at her like she’s hung the moon. She keeps trying to convince them to learn “Our Lips Are Sealed.” She refuses to join Hellfire. She’s always late to practice because of marching band, and some time in the beginning of October Steve Harrington drops her off.

    Or –

    In the fall of 1984, Robin joins Corroded Coffin, and Eddie gets more than he bargained for.

    Or –

    A season 2 AU with Robin and Eddie.

    Summary

    Robin gives Steve a long, considering look. Finally, she says, “You know, you’re really fucking weird, right? I mean. Like,” she waves a hand, “I wish I knew this when you were in school, Harrington. You’re just really fucking weird.”

    “Thanks?”

    Robin squeezes his shoulder and says, “I appreciate that you think that’s a compliment.”

    Or-

    In the summer of ’85, Steve works at Scoops Ahoy, fights some Russians, and makes some new friends.

    Or-

    Steve Harrington makes a mixtape.
