Summary
Klaus, Allison, and Diego just wanted to get some ice cream on a hot summer day. Was that too much to ask? Of course Diego's car had to break down, and of course he was too stubborn to let the gang call a tow truck. They end up pushing it to the nearest repair shop they could find. They meet mechanic Dave Katz, AKA the most beautiful man they've ever seen. With the three Hargreeves shamelessly pining after him, there's a race to win his heart. But Dave seems to only have eyes for one...

Summary
The same night Eddie Munson came back into his life, Steve Harrington finally visited the man's grave.
***
Eddie wasn't an idiot. No matter what Dustin or Lucas said, he wasn't, but he'll admit traveling to another dimension probably wasn't his best move. Even if it meant traveling to a dimension where his best friend, Steve, was still alive.
***
How the hell is Steve supposed to say goodbye to the love of his life all over again? And how is Eddie going to go back to his family when he finally found what he'd been missing his entire life?
AKA: Eddie is the Human Torch, Steve is Spider-Man, and they're both dead in each other's universe.
(That's right, nerds, it's the Spideytorch x Steddie crossover you've been waiting for!)

Summary
Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.
For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.
Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.
He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.
And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?
And why on Earth was he blond?

Summary
When Steve starts sleeping in his car by Lover’s Lake rather than go home, Eddie insists he spend the winter with him and Wayne in the trailer.
He wakes every few hours, bones cold and aching until he starts the ignition and floods the car with heat for a few glorious minutes. Rinse and repeat, each night.Steve knows this isn’t going to get him through the winter. Stuck between going home and freezing to death, it’s still not an obvious choice. Maybe his dad isn’t entirely wrong about Steve having rocks for brains.
Rubbing his hands together and huffing warm air between them late one night, Steve is startled by headlights rounding the bend.
A familiar van pulls up alongside him and it isn’t long before Eddie Munson’s long ringed fingers are tapping on the glass.

Summary
“What the fuck?” Steve blurts. Again. He's starting to lose count of how often it's been. “Who do you even think you are, you fucking weirdo?”
The guy cocks his head in confusion, but only for a second. Then, that infuriating grin slips back on. He's handsome, in a dangerous and rugged way, with his wild hair and bruised lip.
“Apologies, he rumbles. “Where are my manners?”
And then, without getting up off the ground, he reaches out and takes Steve’s hand in his. Steve watches, heart in his throat and eyes wide with confusion, how the guy bends into a dramatic bow and reverently kisses his own blood off his raw knuckles.
“The name is Edward. King Edward of the Woodland Mountains. Also oh-so-aptly known as Edward the Banished, though my friends just call me Eddie. And you, my dear …”
He looks up, all glinting eyes under dark lashes and Steve needs to swallow against the lump clogging his throat.
“You're going to be the one who saves me.”

Or: A story about a reluctant hero, a cursed king, and a love that transcends space, time, and maybe even death itself.
