Summary
Chrissy sighs and stretches again. This time one strap fall off her shoulder. Eddie loses count of her freckles when she says, "Maybe we can trade?"
"What do you have that I'd trade my stock?" His heart pounds in his ears because Chrissy smiles like some feral cat.
“Me."

Summary
“I was hoping you’d loosen up enough to tell me why you wound up here,” he shrugged. “I mean, of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine. And I can tell you wanna talk about it. You’ve got me on the edge of my seat, here, princess.”
“It’s Chrissy,” she said again, wondering if maybe he hadn’t heard her through his tirade before.
Eddie grinned, making something dangerously close to butterflies suddenly take flight in her stomach. “Yeah. I know.”

Summary
“Remember when I said I wanted you to… To start, while I was still asleep?”
Swear to Christ, his brain flatlined. Fully empty for a long, sputtering moment. Television static interrupted by the faint outline of Chrissy’s naked, sleeping form in his imagination.
“Uhhh.” Fuck. “Are you— Like, you’re sure?”
“Please?” she pleaded, so fucking quiet and desperate. He felt her squirming beside him, and he was point-two seconds away from sticking his hand down her shorts. “Please, Eddie?”
“I’d be an idiot if I denied you anything, princess.”

You should come see us. We play at the Hideout on Tuesdays.
She doesn’t plan to take him up on it. Doesn’t pencil Eddie’s gig into her day planner, or anything, squished between cheer practice and her English paper that’s due next week.
It just sort of happens.
[or: three times Chrissy takes Eddie up on his invitation, and one time she doesn't.]

talk me up so sweet by kattyshack for lindentree, GhostofBambi

Summary
He’s tattered jeans and a ragged leather jacket, all worn-down denim and nicotine-stained fingers, callused by guitar strings and not-really-caring.
And Chrissy, she’s…
She’s perfume that makes his sweet tooth ache, he’s not sure what, exactly—vanilla, almond, cake batter?—but it’s thick and sugar-sweet and he wants to lick it off his fingers. Shimmery pink mouth like the sheen of cream soda. Soft, she’s soft—her hair, her smiles, the way she walks, soft but she stays on his mind all the time, soft and sticky like cotton candy, and he—
Fuck. He’s kinda drunk, huh?
(Eddie and Chrissy slip away from a house party, because that’s more fun than beer pong.)

Summary
"Come on, princess,” Eddie coaxes. “Don’t you want to get in that big comfy bed of yours?”
“I wanna get in your big comfy bed.”
He takes a deep breath. “Alright.” If that’s what it takes. “You can have my bed tonight if you really want. I’ll take the couch.”
She whirls then, poking him in the chest. “Are you being purposef’lly obtuse, Munson?”
“No?”
The hand that poked him has changed tactics, instead rubbing circles on the section of t-shirt visible through his open jacket. She lulls him like that, like an apiarist uses smoke to pacify their bees. Eddie blinks, and her hands are in his jacket, shoving it off of him. It falls to the hall floor with a soft sound.
You wouldn’t think a bit of leather makes that much of a difference in one’s overall state of dress. He’s still got his shirt, his jeans and underwear, socks and shoes; a flannel is tied around his waist, and yet, he suddenly feels much, much more vulnerable.
And Chrissy Cunningham, the devil, with a sweet smile turning up the corners of her mouth, says in a dreamy voice, “I would really like to fuck you.”
Eddie just about expires on the spot.

Summary
“What are you working on?” she asks conversationally.
“D&D,” Eddie mutters.
“What’s that?” Chrissy asks, like she hasn’t come up with half of the most recent skirmishes he’d unleashed on the guys.
He guesses he ought to be grateful that if she has to talk to him at school, she’s at least pretending she doesn’t know a thing about him. If they can keep it simple, distant, professional, then maybe nobody’ll clock them. If nobody clocks them, then nobody’ll be a prick to Chrissy for being with him—the whole point of keeping this thing between them secret.
This thing being how Eddie’s completely fucking in love with her and wants to live in her pussy for the rest of his life, but—semantics.

Summary
For some reason, 5C has brought out the worst in her. Whether it was their screaming match after he had blasted his music at 3 AM, or her tirade when she discovered a half dozen cigarettes in her window planter. He seems to have taken up permanent residence under her skin.
A very indulgent, fluffy, Hellcheer A/U.

Summary
The old wiring in the payphone made Robin's voice crackle and pop. "You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm not," Chrissy whispered. Across the service station, Eddie was talking animatedly to the woman who appeared to run the place. It was unlikely he could hear anything she said, but still, she kept her voice low. "His van broke down—"
"This like a goddamned movie!" Robin crowed. Chrissy could almost hear her roommate pacing around their apartment. "You run into the love of your life—"
Chrissy nearly dropped the phone. "We were just friends!"
"Me and Steve are just friends. You and Eddie are more like star-crossed lovers or ships in the night or something."
Cheeks flaming, Chrissy shot a glance over at Eddie again. He was looking at her–shit–and smiled when she caught his gorgeous gaze. Her heart did a series of pirouettes and backflips as she tried to grin back without drooling. She wasn't sure she managed it, so she returned to the phone.
"I just wanted to tell you that I might be out late. That's all."
Robin's tone was just this side of condescending. "I'm pretty sure you found exactly what you want on the side of I-65."- Language:

Summary
“I’m sorry,” says Nancy, “I think I just hallucinated. Did you just say you wanted to fuck Eddie Munson?”
“Your best friend,” Robin clarifies in that way where Chrissy knows she’s trying to be helpful, but is instead being extremely un-fucking-helpful. “That Eddie Munson.”
“You have a crush on Eddie—”
“You think Eddie is hot—”
“I hate you both,” Chrissy seethes. “That’s not—I don’t—”
Their eyebrows raise almost in unison as Chrissy tries and fails to come up with a reasonable explanation for why she did, in fact, say her best friend’s name when Robin asked who she’d fuck after prom.
The trouble is, she’s realizing just now that in addition to Eddie being the person she loves most in the world, she would absolutely fuck him and would probably have his babies one day too, if he wanted. It’s a problem.

Summary
Dangerous game, flirting with Jason Carver’s girlfriend. Max might be impressed, except that she thinks it’s actually exceptionally fucking stupid.
But… Well. Chrissy looks really happy, bright smile and big laugh, and if it’s Eddie’s puppy dog heart eyes behind that? So be it.
It’s really none of Max’s business.
(Max accidentally wingmans and has to live with the responsibility that follows.)

Summary
An AU look into what Eddie and Chrissy's senior year could have been. Horror, angst, the changing seasons, and the alchemy of love.
*
Chrissy Cunningham buys weed from Eddie Munson in September, on the Friday before Homecoming starts, like so many of their classmates do. The weeklong pep rallies and sports nonsense are punctuated by a Homecoming Dance– all things Eddie avoids like the plague, except for the afterparties, which are another big spike in sales for him.
It gives him whiplash, when he’s approached by her to meet in the woods after school, but he grins his way through it, all the way to the solitary picnic table.

Summary
It’s two days later when Eddie takes Chrissy on their first date. They haven’t had a chance to see each other since christening his van and renting a movie after, so when he picks her up on another blazing summer afternoon, he jumps out to hug her on the curb. He wraps his arms around her waist, lifting her up, and kisses into her neck until she squeals.
(The hardest part, really, is keeping their hands to themselves.)

Summary
Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.
There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.
Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.
