Summary
Six years after Eddie Munson summons a demon during a high school final club ritual and is pulled into hell, Steve Harrington returns as a teacher in a misguided attempt at exposure therapy. He doesn’t expect a group of nerdy and curious teens to start delving into the urban legends about Eddie’s mysterious disappearance, dredging up all of Steve’s worst memories in the process. The more they ask about Eddie, the more Steve’s nights are plagued by unsettling and arousing dreams.
After a tense confrontation with the kids, Steve’s nightmare features a monstrous version of Eddie, hellbent on revenge, who might not actually be a figment of Steve’s subconscious, and definitely isn’t dead. Determined to rescue Eddie, Steve is ready to die to make up for his past failures. But Steve and Eddie are playing with forces they don’t quite understand, and it turns out the cost might not be to Steve at all, but to one of the kids.

Summary
Eddie likes to self destruct.
Sex.
Alcohol.
Drugs.
Especially the drugs.
Screw anyone who judges--his brain is all fucky after the Upside Down. He just wants to feel good again.
And so what if a habit has formed? Not like there's anyone around who cares that he's withering away.Steve wants nothing to do with Eddie. He's exhausting. Draining. Toxic as shit. He's not sure why Robin cares to look after his addict ass all the time.
He kind of resents that she expects him to pick up the babysitting when she leaves the state.
Really shows that nothing has changed in the last year.
Always the goddamn babysitter.Bookmarked by AvidReaderLady

Summary
"Yeah, yeah – laugh all you want. I see you’re still making fun of us older people,” Eddie drawls out as he leans his arms on the roof of the car, lowering his head to look at him. The t-shirt underneath his leather jacket is riding up, showing a trail of dark hair disappearing beneath the jeans.
Steve’s not laughing anymore.
“See you, Munson,” Steve says, lifting his gaze a second too late; he knows Eddie has seen his eyes linger. Eddie pats the roof twice in goodbye and slams the door shut, sauntering towards the trailer.
“Was that just me, or...” Vickie whispers.
“Yep,” Robin interjects. “Could cut the tension with a fucking knife.”
Steve squeezes his eyes shut, groaning.
“Don’t start, Robin.”
Or: Steve Harrington moves to Hawkins, trading his parents' empty mansion for a rental and a job at the local repair shop. He's looking for peace and quiet. Instead, he hires Eddie Munson as a mover, steals his rings, and learns that sometimes, finding balance requires embracing a little chaos.

Summary
Steve Harrington, co-owner of Petal & Thorn Tattoo, prided himself on being able to get along with anyone. Growing up with his parents and attending more social functions than he ever cared to think about, it was practically a requirement. So, when local band Corroded Coffin began renting the suite across from his tattoo shop and he was forced to meet their loud, obnoxious, over-the-top frontman Eddie Munson, it came as an absolute shock that he could not stand to be in the same room as him.
What was even worse was that Robin and Nancy, somehow, seemed to love the guy. When they asked him to at least try to get along with the man, for their sake, he took that as a challenge.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Steve has been a pediatric nurse for long enough to know that Eddie and his daughter shouldn’t be seeing him in the emergency room this often. Ellie Munson can only shove so many marbles up her nose and eat so many crayons before he starts to think the five year old might have an ulterior motive.
