Summary
The babysitters groupchat may have started as a means of keeping tabs on the kids and each other, but at some point it evolved into a space for Steve's daily rants about Dustin's mysterious new bff. Not that Robin, Nancy and Jonathan are complaining - it is definitely more entertaining than their usual carpool texts.

Summary
As soon as Eddie opens the front door, three pairs of eyes turn towards him. It shouldn’t surprise him, in hindsight, their hyperawareness and the tension that lingers behind their haunted eyes a couple seconds until they recognize he’s just good old Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson and not an otherworldly threat.
Still, something about those looks makes his skin crawl with some primal awareness that he’s in the presence of dangerous people, even as they look away and get back to their business. Apparently, he’s not the only one who can’t sleep.

Summary
Steve Harrington’s kids want to actually date but Steve is an overprotective mama bear. So they obviously decide to get him a girlfriend to distract him. The one problem? Steve has dated pretty much every girl his age. Lucky for them, Eddie Munson is bored, broke, and curious.
Meanwhile, Robin Buckley is having a bit of a crisis after catching feelings for her new lab partner and best friend's Ex, Nancy Wheeler.
Fruity Four Fic that is loosely based on, “10 Things I Hate About You”

Summary
“You brought soup,” Steve repeats, and when he does, his voice is hoarse and slightly scratchy. “You, Eddie Munson, brought me so-”
He doesn’t manage to finish his sentence, because all of a sudden he’s crouching over in another one of his coughing fits. Eddie’s at his side in an instant, steadying him with hands holding either side of Steve’s shoulders, too close and too warm and Steve fists a hand in Eddie’s shirt, turning so he can’t see the petals Steve hastily shoves into his pocket.
Steve Harrington just wants to live his life peacefully. The universe and one damn metalhead have other plans for him.

Summary
Steve threads his fingers through Robins and bites at his lip anxiously. “Have you heard anything?”
He’s not really talking to either one of them specifically but Nancy peels away from the window, the gun and the walkie from the night before never having left her hands. She rubs her face and sighs, shaking her head. “Nothing but static.”
Steve wants to cry. But he thinks he’s too scraped out to even try. He swallows an all too terribly familiar lump in his throat. “Do you think–”

Summary
(PRIMARILY A STEDDIE AND RONANCE FIC.)
~"Last chance to back out," Eddie said, reaching behind him and grabbing the needle. He placed it between his teeth, holding on lightly while his other hand set his handkerchief to the side.
Steve took in a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, just don't fuck up too bad."
"Fuck up Steve Harrington's body and ruin him for all the ladies?" Eddie's gaze met Steve's and he grinned. "Oh, never."
~
After Hawkins becomes a corrupt wasteland to the Upside-Down, the Party's parents decide it would be best to stay together. The Wheelers, the Sinclairs, and the Hendersons all move to Lenora Hills, California to give themselves a sense of security in an apocalyptic reality. By some glorious butterfly effect, Steve and Eddie move in together and so do Robin and Nancy. Living so close with someone else makes them begin to wonder if the word "friends" really sums up what they are to one another.

“We might as well go live our lives to the fullest until then, right? Carpe diem, seize the day, and all.”
“Like bucket lists!” Robin claps her hands together and points an enthusiastic finger at Eddie.
“Bucket lists, yes, Buckley, you get me!” he says, spinning in a circle and shaking his fists next to his head victoriously.

or, the fruity four help each other check things off of their bucket lists before the next apocalyptic event hits Hawkins, and maybe even find love along the way.

Summary
Robin was the first one to arrive at the camp site and so far, it seemed like a pretty generic woodsy summer camp. Robin didn’t know why, but when she heard the description “troubled youth” she had figured there would be fences, barb wires, guards and maybe a few dogs. She blamed he overactive imagination. What she imagination couldn't prepare her for was her fellow campers which included Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harington and what looked to be a bunch of kids. Eddie Munson on the other had fit the bill.
or
For different reasons, either their fault or not, Everyone ends up in a camp for troubled youth. While at first painful, after their consoler mysteriously leaves, the group finds the fact their alone with no adults liberating and have the time of their lives, unaware something sinister lurks around.
basically Camp horror/breakfast club starring fruity 4, stoners and sassy kids. -

Summary
“Just relax.” Eddie runs his fingers through Steve’s hair and okay, that actually feels kind of nice. “This is happening, so you might as well enjoy it.”
Robin laughs. “You’re gonna look so pretty, Steve.”
“I’m gonna kill all of you,” Steve mutters but he sits still and lets Eddie muss up his hair probably beyond all recognition. “Seriously, none of this better leave this room.”

Summary
She knocks quickly. Rap-rap-rap. Short, sweet, to the point. Rocking back on her heels, she glances down the length of the house to where Eddie’s van is parked crookedly off to the side, half-hidden. He’s definitely here, then, and it’s the only other vehicle in sight aside from hers, so she’s more than likely not interrupting anything.
Still, she can’t shake the feeling that she’s crossing some sort of line by showing up unannounced and uninvited.

One of them is in college, Josh and Maisie are pretty sure, at Emerson. The other three work an odd variety of hours. They have a large amount of makeshift weapons littered where anyone can grab them, they’re all covered in scars, and whenever the lights in the hallway flicker they jump about three feet in the air.
Or, the kids that live in apartment 4B are weird.

Summary
Steve and Robin get a two bedroom in Hawkins. It's perfect, except for all the ways it isn't. Drafty windows, clogged drains, shitty landlord. But it's got a couch. A couch that's often occupied by Eddie Munson. Home isn't really the kind of thing Eddie has much of anymore, ever since his trailer became the primary source for all his nightmares. Luckily, he knows of a semi-comfortable couch where he's always welcome.
Despite all it's problem, the house has perks. Primarily, it's somewhere Steve can actually call home. Secondarily, it's somewhere he can share with the people he loves.
AKA: The fruity four live in a convoluted roommate situation, and romance happens along the way.

Summary
“Murray is used to being the smartest person in the room, but he’s never gotten used to being frustrated with being the smartest person in the room.
Tonight is really testing his patience.
He had thought, naively, that he would be done watching idiots in love once Nancy and Jonathan got together, but then he had to set Jim and Joyce straight, too. After that, he thought he was finally done.
Apparently not.”
OR
Steve and Eddie get Murrayed. And then Nancy and Robin do, too.

Summary
It’s probably going to go down in history as the worst kiss Steve Harrington ever got, but Eddie doesn’t give a fuck. He isn’t going to get another chance so he’s working with what he’s got. It’s less of a kiss, and more of a slide of lips, wet with blood and tears but he feels Harrington’s grip tighten on the back of his shirt and he pulls back. He reaches up with the hand he can still feel and pushes back a strand of hair that had fallen in Steve’s face, smearing blood along his temple as he does.
“Sorry. Couldn’t die without knowing what that felt like.”

Summary
The thing is, Steve knows he’s the dumb one. Between Nancy’s straight-A report cards and Dustin’s wild brilliance and Robin’s multilingual code-cracking skills—yeah. He’s just Steve Harrington, who graduated high school with a 2.1 GPA and got rejected by every fancy college his parents made him apply to. Fine. He’s cool with that, actually. Plenty of smart people in the gang. Steve’s unimpressive IQ and GPA and other assorted initialisms aren’t an issue. Somebody needs to guard the door and take the hits while the rest of them save the fucking world, and he’s more than okay with that somebody being him.
The other thing is, most of them are brilliant in a way that he’ll never understand, and dumb as hell when it comes to human relationships.
