Summary
"And you do know that people are curious, right?" Oprah pushes her glasses up, "Everyone is curious as to who and how you can write such heartbreaking songs without anyone ever seeing your date?"
The camera flicks to Steve, and he blinks back at her, "Yes. I am aware."
"Where is this muse?" The camera flickers between Oprah and Steve as they laugh at the question.
"My muse is chilling in the skies, watching me play. He's probably berating me for stealing his sweetheart."
Or: After Eddie's death, Steve returns to the Upside Down to retrieve his guitar. He learns how to play it and ends up becoming a famous singer, famous for his heartbreaking songs about longing and yearning for someone. For a while, that's it. It's not until sixteen years later, that some secrets are uncovered.

Summary
Steve keeps his voice quiet enough as he sings now, not wanting to disturb the masses just one room over, but it’s still loud enough for him to get a little lost in it. He matches the strokes of his sponge with the tune he’s singing and even starts to wiggle his hips along. It’s hard not to want to dance to this one — Bennie and the Jets, because it came on the radio in the car while he was making his rounds to pick up the kids, and it’s been stuck in his head ever since.
Most of the dishes are clean now, so all that’s left is the silverware. The casserole dish was the last of the major pieces. Steve’s just finishing rinsing it, letting the excess water sluice off the sides before he sets it on the kitchen island with the other plates waiting to be dried.
In the process of turning, two things happen at once:
1. Steve squeezes his eyes shut and tips his head back as he belts out the chorus, “She’s got electric boots, a mohair suit, you know I read it in a magazine, oh. B-b-b-bennie and the jets!”
2. His eyes fly back open to land right on Eddie. where he stands in the doorway — no, leans in the doorway, like he’s been there a while, like he’s gotten comfortable.

Summary
Eddie accidentally discovers that Steve Harrington can sing and proceeds to be completely normal about it.
The only issue is that Battle of the Bands is coming up, Corroded Coffin needs a new lead singer and Steve is entirely too willing to do anything he can to prove he's not the same person he used to be.

Summary
The music starts with a quiet riff and suddenly the spotlight shines in front of Eddie. Miss Stevie is sitting on a stool that’s been placed right in front of Eddie. She gives him a big wink and sings,
The minute you walked in the joint, I could see you were a man of distinction, a real big spender.
Eddie sucks in a breath and can feel a blush rising. He enjoyed a man in drag, but he wouldn’t say it’s normally an attraction for him. This is a definite exception.

This is just a bunch of random ideas I had. None of them go together, you don't have to read the first one to know what's happening.
