Summary
“Yeah,” Steve says, “Yeah. Of course. Yeah,” and then he listens for a while and says, “Sure,” and then he stands up and settles the phone back in its cradle.
When he turns to look at Billy, it’s like he’s been reset. His expression is completely blank. Steve’s so still that Billy wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake him hard, make him move. The silence seems to stretch between them.
Finally, Steve presses his hands together, begins to fiddle with his wedding ring that means nothing in the eyes of god or the state and everything to the two of them.
He twists and twists and twists it.
“I have to go to Hawkins. Something is back.”
~
Or: In the spring of 1988, Steve finally told Billy the truth. In September 1989, Billy finds out exactly how real the monsters in Hawkins are. They did lose the blues in Chicago, but Hawkins pulls them back in.

Summary
Steve Harrington is staring at him again. Eddie frowns. Steve looks to the heavens like he’s praying for strength, “Rock stars, am I right?” he jokes to the crowd. “You going to tell us anything about it or just sit there remembering the moment?”
Asshole. Eddie feels like maybe his palms are a little sweaty. He’s not totally sure why he agreed to this. “It was like a lightning strike,” Eddie says. “She was so mean, and so talented, and the four of us started playing together and it just made sense.”
“Lightning strike, that’s the title of your new song, right? The one you’re playing tonight?”
“Yeah,” Eddie says eloquently. “Lightning, but. Yeah.”
Steve grins this time. “Well, lucky for all of us, we won’t need to be saved by a lightning strike from this amazing conversation. We’ll be back after this, folks, with more Corroded Coffin.”

Or: Every talk show host in the business has favorite guests. Steve’s just happens to be a little more his favorite than people were expecting.

Summary
Eddie has never been hurt before, in the dreams, except for when he was bones and the muscle and blood thing, but he’s hurt now. He’s shirtless this time, and he’s got on black pants and white sneakers--Steve wonders why Eddie gets shoes but not a shirt--and he’s got a long slash right down his ribs, like something with very sharp nails tried to slice him in half.
“Hey, Harrington,” Eddie says, his voice low and rough. “Thought you might be bad news coming through that door, but shit, I’m glad to see you.”
~
Steve dreams of Eddie with ease. Even remaking him for the real world isn't so hard. It's keeping him here, and the promise of a challenge, that's turning out to be the problem.
a post season 5 fix it.

Summary
It starts out with a little bit of jealousy. Healthy. Steve doesn't like sharing. Typical only child. And every second word out of Dustin's mouth is Eddie Munson. Eddie Munson this, Eddie Munson that. Eddie thinks, Eddie said, Eddie doesn't like.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
It's only natural to do a little background check. You wouldn't just let anyone babysit your kids.
or: Steve Harrington starts stalking Eddie Munson. It might be more than he has bargained for.

Summary
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.
