Summary
Robin Buckley is an heiress to the classical romance and mystery author Duilio Lombardo and his wine estate in southern Italy. His death is a shock to the family and the many who stay at the estate in the small town of Edetrio— and his final wish to publish a biography causes a group of three journalists from midwest America to crash the party. The lead journalist, Nancy Wheeler immediately catches Robin’s eye, though focused instead on writing the biography on the man who never told his story. Lombardo has left a trail of clues to tell his life story— and Nancy and Robin spend their Italian summer uncovering his treasure hunt— and uncovering their own feelings.

Summary
"Steve lay awake that night. He couldn’t stop his thoughts spiralling. He couldn’t stop blaming himself for everything happening. If he hadn’t got high, if he hadn’t confessed, if he hadn’t tried to kiss Eddie, if he hadn’t ran, if he hadn’t told Robin. Everything could be traced back to him and that made Steve feel sick. So overwhelmed with guilt his chest felt heavy, his heart felt clenched. Like someone was reaching into his chest and squeezing as hard as they could. Before he knew it there was birds chirping outside and the faint glow of sunrise. He hadn’t slept at all."

Confessions of love gone as wrong as possible and saving someone you love.

Summary
Now, Eddie always considered himself a freak... but hell, he might be delusional too because now he was dying in an alternate dimension under Hawkins, Indiana and Steve Harrington- yes- Steve 'the hair' Harrington- was hauling his bloody body to safety.
OR
Ever since 1983, Steve knew he was bound to be injured and/or SEE people get injured but what he did not account for was discovering possibly the biggest secret he'd have to keep. And it wasn't even his own. It was Eddie 'the freak' Munson's.

Summary
[DISCONTINUED}
The lights in Eddie's trailer flickered and Steve's breath caught in his throat. He closed his eyes. It's not like lights flickering was a super common occurrence, but it happened enough that Steve noticed how much it scared him. Everything's okay. It's just the electricity.
But when he opened his eyes, the lights were still flickering, in a pattern just like that very first night at the Byers'.
"Oh, you've gotta be fucking kidding me."In other words, A Season 4 Rewrite.

Summary
Steve knows Eddie is gay- knew before Spring Break, even- but he’s coming to realize that Eddie doesn’t know that he knows this. One simple comment would solve this little mixup that has no need to become a problem.
“Hey, man, I know you’re gay. And it doesn’t bother me. So you don’t have to feel weird.”
It would all be fixed if Steve just told him what he knew. But every time the words start to form in his mouth, he loses his courage. Not because Eddie being gay is a problem. With the direction his life has taken Steve has a lot more to worry about than boys kissing boys. No, the problem is somewhere within Steve. -

Summary
“I didn’t really think it through when I said it, I just got so angry and all I could think was that I wanted them to know what it would be like for someone they love to be gay. It was probably a dumb plan, because the jury’s still out on if they love me,” he chuckled darkly. “Plus, the obvious.”
The clock ticked.
Robin raised her eyebrows and waited. “You’re… not gay?” She guessed with a frown.
Steve flashed her finger guns with a grin. “Bingo.”

Or, Steve asks Eddie to pretend to date him to teach his parents a lesson. Eddie is devastated to find out they weren’t dating already.

Summary
When you come home from college for your winter break, you find yourself missing your ex boyfriend Steve Harrington.
Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
