Summary
Steve Harrington has the perfect future mapped out: legacy frat, degree from an Ivy League College, clean sneakers and a smile that never slips.
When his best friend, Robin urges him him to go to an illegal drag race, he meets Eddie. All curls, cocky grins and reckless heat. Eddie's the kind of guy who thrives in the undercurrent, leather and deflection. Hiding behind pure speed and smirks, and the lie that nothing means anything.
OR: Closeted frat boy Steve Harrington and drag racer Eddie Munson start sleeping with each other and it's chaos because it shouldn't work but lowkey it does.

Summary
Ever since you escaped from Hawkins Lab, you've struggled to find your place. After you lose Jim Hopper, the closest thing you have to a father, and Jane moves away to California with the Byers, things just get lonelier and emptier for you. Unsurprisingly, being at Hawkins High just deepens that feeling that you don't belong. Except for that one metalhead who makes you laugh like no one else can. You fall hard and fast for Eddie Munson and his theatrics, and he treats you like royalty. Some days you could swear he likes you back, but he's never made a move on you.
It's probably for the best right? He'd freak out if he knew about the things that you can do, and the things you'd been forced to do.-- Starts a little before season 4, carries on through season 4 and then onto my own version of season 5 --

Summary

Eddie is determined to bring Gotham to heel as a gift to secure his husband and family's future. But Gotham is full of villains that won't go down without a fight and ghosts from Steve's past lurk at the city's edge. Not to mention their developing Bat problem.
Can the Munson's survive Gotham or will their criminal empire come crashing down around them?
A tale of love, madness, sex, revenge, obsession, family, murder and organized crime. Oh and Batman's here too.

Summary
After surviving the Upside Down, Steve and Eddie are never quite the same. Steve starts relying on Eddie’s chaos to feel alive, and Eddie clings to Steve’s stability like a lifeline—but what begins as trauma bonding spirals into something obsessive. They move in together under the guise of healing, but their apartment becomes a world of rules, rituals, and unspoken agreements.
Steve lets Eddie control the little things—what he eats, who he talks to, when he sleeps—because it makes Eddie feel safe. Eddie stops playing gigs because he doesn’t want to leave Steve alone for too long. They say it’s love. Their friends say it’s concerning.
When Robin tries to intervene, Steve shuts her out. When Dustin asks where Eddie’s been, Steve lies. And when one of them finally tries to leave, the other does something drastic to keep them from going.
Because to them, this isn’t unhealthy.
It’s home.(A.K.A. I'm projecting all of my trauma onto Steve)

Summary
Steve kisses him on a Tuesday afternoon, whispers how he's always thought about this, then leans over and gently brushes their lips together. Eddie doesn't realise he's punched the other man until Steve's clutching his nose, scrambling back, blood on his shirt and fear in his eyes.
"Sorry. I got the wrong idea," Steve whispers, shoulders shaking, nose bleeding faster than he can stop.
Then Eddie's left with Steve's blood cooling on his own fist.

Summary
Steve and Eddie are best friends.
In their first year of college, Steve realizes he's bisexual—and that he has feelings for Eddie. Before he even has the opportunity to open up, Eddie's opinions push Steve further into the closet.
"Everything is just a joke to you! It's not! You don't get to sit around saying shit like that like it's a fun personality quirk! Like you're better than everyone else!"
"Alright, fine," Eddie says, defensive, eyes sharp now.
"I fucked up. I said something stupid and now I guess I'm the poster child for biphobia. I'm sorry."Steve's chest is burning. His mouth tastes like anger and dust and the stale air of the closet.
"No you're not. You're just another guy who doesn't think about the shit that comes out of his mouth." -

Summary
Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson hate each other.
Steve’s convinced Eddie’s the one sneaking trash into the Scoops Ahoy dumpster behind the mall. Eddie thinks Steve is a stuck-up brat with too much hairspray and not enough common sense. Then they get accidentally locked in a service elevator together overnight.
"Sorry we can't all be like you and roll out of our pit every morning and wear whatever is in closest reach from the heap of dirty laundry on the floor."
Eddie shrugs, entirely unfazed.
"Well, I'd rather do that than wear crew socks that are rolled all the way up."Steve glares.
"It's mandatory. You don't know what I do with my socks outside of this building."Eddie makes a face, leaning back again.
"And I don't want to.""Okay, good. Because you never will!"
"Perfect! That suits me just fine!"

Summary
Chrissy's world was imploding. Although there was food in the house, it wasn’t food meant for Chrissy. And though she had a whole closet full of clothes, they weren’t her clothes, her choices. The house was a prison, her picture-perfect life a lie. Her boyfriend domineering and misogynistic.
That was where Eddie Munson came in.
What started out as a drug deal rapidly transformed into True Love - the stuff of legends - and if Chrissy thought she had troubles before she met Eddie, she had another thing coming:
Namely, an unplanned pregnancy, and the revelation of a dark family secret that would have the power to change Chrissy's life forever.

Eddie Munson was six when the demons came for his mother. They hid in the shadows, whispering, waiting, stealing her little by little. Before them, there was music—her voice, her laughter, the crackle of old vinyl. But love can’t always stop the dark. As demons don’t just kill. They linger.

Summary
He didn’t know why, but things with Eddie felt so much more…complicated. With all of the girls he’s ever dated, it was always simple; he liked her, she liked him, they made out sometimes, held hands in public, and moved on when they broke up.
But, clearly, Eddie wasn’t a girl.
OR
When Eddie moved to the rural south, he wasn't expecting to develop a crush on his neighbor. And not just any neighbor - a farmer boy, who, yes, in fact, does take care of barn animals when he gets home from school.

Summary
High School is a weird time, especially senior year. Everyone is thinking about college, plans after they graduate, and who they’re going to Prom with. You, however, are always thinking about Eddie Munson and whatever it is you two are. Friends with benefits? Lovers? No strings attached fuckers? Eddie tells all his friends that you two are just “casual,” but, if it’s casual then why does your favorite bra live in his dresser? And, why is he bragging about hitting it to the Hellfire boys when you’re not around?

Hawkins is a small town, everyone knows everyone—and Eddie has been in school with Steve Harrington since kindergarten.

Eddie knows his way around Harrington’s house as well as any other teenager in Hawkins does, went to all the same house parties, the same field parties, the same lake parties. Hell, Eddie has sold Harrington weed countless times, he’s one of his best customers because Harrington pays extra for Eddie to roll for him.
So, how the hell did Eddie not know Harrington was an omega?
