Summary
After saving Eddie from the Upside Down, Steve hides him at his house while the party concocts a plot to clear Eddie's name. What Steve doesn't expect is how much he likes hanging out with Eddie as they get to know each other.
Under the looming shadow of the Mind Flayer threatening to destroy Hawkins, Steve and Eddie realize they're each grappling with their own darkness, from Steve's father's impossible expectations to Eddie's feelings of worthlessness.
Their friendship develops into something more even as the party prepares to fight Vecna and his monsters one last time. Steve must decide if he's ready to shrug off the rigid roles assigned to him and become his own person. Eddie must learn to embrace what Steve has been trying to show him every day since nearly dying: that he's worth saving.
Author's Note: This is basically me speculating what Season 5 might look like, with Eddie surviving and from Steve's perspective. Enjoy!

Summary
He’s halfway in Eddie’s lap as one kiss becomes three becomes five, and Steve forgets that he needs to breathe until his lungs burn from the lack of oxygen and force him to break away. Eddie chases after him and Steve can’t stop the small laugh that bubbles up in his chest - this is going to be the end of him, Steve doesn’t remember the last time he’s felt so wanted.
Steve wants Eddie, and after weeks of pining, he's sure that Eddie wants him too - until they fall into bed together and suddenly nothing is the same anymore.
In the aftermath, Steve tries to cope with the thought that Eddie just doesn't want him as much as he does Eddie - and Eddie, Eddie is trying to understand how he managed to lose his new best friend and one chance at love at the same time.In the background, Robin and Dustin may be debating if they should just lock the two in a room until they get over themselves and talk it out.

Summary
Eddie swipes the wand beneath his eye, fast and mostly smooth. He leans back from the mirror, assessing his reflection, and smudges lightly at the ink.
“One down,” he says, mostly to himself. Steve doesn’t say anything.
He’s thinking about girls at their bathroom mirrors and bedroom vanities. Dates or one night stands or whoever else, messing with their hair and poking at their lipstick and making faces. Fixing whatever Steve had made a mess of the night before.

Summary
“You want it,” Billy jeers. That’s what Billy does, he pushes, he always pushes, and Steve’s mouth twists - but he doesn’t deny it.
He just… turns. Not much, just the most infinitesimal fraction, but his hips turn, and he’s facing Billy just the tiniest bit more than he was before and… and it’s enough. It’s enough for Billy to be sure.
He lunges forward, and his mouth meets Steve’s in a clatter of teeth.

Summary
He’d been chewing the filter of an unlit cigarette, teeth bared in one of those shit-eating grins that had Steve’s fist itching, when he said, all matter-of-fact:
“You’re gonna work for it, tonight.”
