Summary
Steve ignores the cat, at first.
He’s digging a thumbnail into the meat of his palm, shuffling from foot to foot every so often, dragging a lip so hard between his teeth that Eddie’s worried he’s gonna make it bleed, and Eddie isn’t sure what to do. He wants to help, wants to somehow soothe the boy, but he isn’t sure how, thinks if he gets any closer to him he’ll only make things worse.
The cats meows again. Presses itself harder up against Steve, stretches up so its little front paws are against his thigh, kneading insistently, refusing to be ignored.
Steve sags a little. Reaches down with a trembling hand, strokes it across the cat’s head, and Eddie can hear the rumbling purr start up from the little creature. He watches as Steve loosens up, as his fingers unclench and his teeth release his lip and the frown fades slowly from his lovely face.
*****
Eddie's reluctantly helping Wayne with his produce stall at the farmers' market. He's resigned himself to a boring summer - until a new face shows up at the market to run a baking stall with his best friend. Steve is...odd, like no one Eddie's ever met.
And it doesn't take him long to fall head over heels for him.

Summary
Eddie Munson dies. Eddie dies, and no CPR, no medical intervention, nothing Steve can do will bring him back. But Steve hears a voice across the Upside Down asking him if he wants to change things.
He'd be a fool not to say yes.
Dozens, hundreds of days later and he still doesn't regret his decision. Steve is going to bring all of his friends out of this alive if it kills him.
He’d never even considered what came after.
AKA the timeloop fic where Steve wakes up the morning Dustin and Max burst into Family Video looking for Eddie. Again. And again; and a hundred more times after that.

Summary
“Come to ask for an autograph?” Eddie asked.
“Was it an original?”
“You don’t recognize Sabbath? Black Sabbath? Ozzy Osbourne?”
Altar boy tilted his head to one side like a confused puppy.
“That’s devastating, altar boy.”
“Steve.”
“Huh?”
“My name’s Steve, incase you feel like serenading some more, and, uh, I’m not an altar boy.”
“No?” Eddie’s eyes flicked over him. “You look like one.”
“I’m surprised you’d know, I doubt you’ve ever stepped foot inside a church.”
“And what? You’re gonna change that for me?”
Steve let out an amused exhale. “I suppose no one’s past saving, but you might be a close call.”
“Lucky for you, I didn’t ask for saving. Long live the devil, baby.”
Busker Eddie Munson meets his match in doomsday crier Steve Harrington occupying opposite sides of the street in 1986 Indianapolis.

Summary
“You ask a lot of questions about me,” Steve tells him.
“Because you’re interesting,” Munson says, quiet and honest. “You’re a lot different than what I’ve heard.”
Steve hums, eyes closed. “Yeah,” he says, eyes fluttering open when Munson takes the joint from him again, “you are, too.

Summary
“Fuck you, Eddie.”
“Fuck you,” Eddie screams, finally breaking. His throat hurts. “You think those people don’t care about you?” he yells, gesturing aimlessly toward the door. “You think we don’t love you?”
or; Steve’s been ignoring Eddie’s existence for a month since he woke up, and it’s pissing Eddie off.
