    Summary

    It’s not really something that’s talked about. Eddie blames that as the reason it takes him so goddamn long to notice. Because see, it starts small, so small he thinks he’s just not paying attention or his wandering mind has just finally wandered off into a world where he would ever bother using goddamn Farrah Fawcett hairspray.

    But sometimes, in the years that follow, he wonders if he really hadn’t noticed or if he just loves playing the fool even when it’s with himself. Because yeah, it seems pretty fucking obvious in hindsight.

    or

    In a world where you prepare for your soulmate by instinctively collecting items personalized to them, Eddie Munson has just left Melvald's with a box of bandaids, wound disinfectant, and a bag full of nails.

    Summary

    “Back in tenth grade, he’d done his final report for World History on prophecies. The Greeks were kind of the last people who’d really made a big deal about it, even though there’d been recorded True Prophecies well into the 19th and 20th centuries. It was more that people had gotten weird about it — didn’t want to believe in predestination and a concrete future, even though it was something like a one in a billion chance you’d get a True Prophecy about yourself or even someone you knew; people just liked to feel special, Eddie thought, and hated when they weren’t — and so it had slid to the fringes of society and anyone who might have Sight got swept into the insular embrace of the Priestesses of the Quiet Sisters.” Or: Steve dies at the end. Or: a story about prophecies, love, and loopholes.

    Summary

    Because here's the thing: Eddie Munson has always been weird. Since Steve first saw him his freshman year, weird. But Steve Harrington has always liked him.

    Eddie was older, and cooler, and everything Steve wasn't. For the longest time Steve just called it jealousy, called it anger. He called it anything other than what it actually was: a crush.

    Summary

    Billy smirks at him, white teeth glinting: “Finish up, why don’t you? You’re making me regret choosing you to cheat off, King Steve-”

    “Don’t. Call. Me. That.”

    “Okay....” Billy says, mock sweet. “How about... princess?”

    (Or: Steve doesn't know if he hates or loves the pet names; all he knows is that Billy confuses him.)

    Summary

    Steve Harrington never planned for Eddie Munson.

    Steve was supposed to marry his high school sweetheart, have 2.5 children, and take over the family business. He was supposed to live a blissful life on a nondescript cul-de-sac, complete with a white picket fence and a closet full of tasteful polo shirts. He was supposed to make a graceful transition between being the golden boy and being the American Dream.

    Mediocrity was what destiny had designed for Steve. Reality had other plans.

    (Or, Steve and Eddie, against all odds, fall in love)
