Summary
Chrissy opens the door.
Someone asks her whether she is okay, and she doesn't know the voice and she checks through the gap under the door and sees shoes she doesn't think belong to anyone she would usually talk to and she opens the door.
Maybe a second earlier or later she wouldn't have, maybe she shouldn't have is what she thinks because she just shouldn't do so many things, but she does.

(Chrissy doesn't die that day.)

Summary
An eye for an eye? Fuck that. She'll give Garrus Sidonis' head on a platter, if he wants it. A life for half Garrus' face, for the shadows in his eyes, for the way his voice cracks when he talks about Omega. That sounds like a fair deal to Shepard.

(Before and after Sidonis' death, the Butcher considers the Archangel.)

Summary
The day you get the most important email of your life, there’s a new black skidmark on the wall of the stairwell, and you know exactly whose fault it is.
“Margaret,” you intone to the harried, wild-haired woman in the lobby.
She sighs at you as she tries to jimmy her mail key loose. “I know.”
It wouldn’t even be that bad if the kid would just skateboard outside. Or get good at skateboarding. Either of those things. Maggie’s a nice lady, though, and she’s had “trying my best” scribbled all over her since they moved into 6B maybe eight years ago. So you try not to be a dick, even if her son is a gold-standard pain in the ass. He’s good for three things: smells, noise, and reminding you how big Eddie must be by now.- Language:

Summary
Steve’s voice begins to fade, and Eddie feels his chance slipping away with a surge of adrenaline-fueled panic. He begins to thrash in earnest, pushing upwards furiously, shoving his elbows out and shimmying like his goddamn life depends on it. He’s coughing up dirt, crawling upwards for what seems like a century — he didn’t even dig this deep —
His clawing hands hit something viscous and slimy and he quite nearly recoils before he has a fleeting memory and realizes that — yes — this is what he wants — this is it. With another nauseating rush of adrenaline he peels away the blubbery layer of mucus-like film and reaches outwards. He grabs a fistfull of grass and pulls, dragging himself into the open air.
“Wait—” he manages to cough as he twists and shimmies some more. The figure of a man just a dozen feet away stops. “Harrington,” Eddie finishes, and the figure turns.
(in which Eddie returns from the underworld and Steve gives all that he’s got)

“Hey,” Eddie calls, grinning. “Any chance the pitcher’d be up for dinner and a show after the game?”
“I got a boyfriend,” Stevie says back, smirking. “You might know him. This obnoxiously loud guy who keeps calling the wrong plays?”
The people in the stands laugh; Jeff shoves him gently as Eddie squawks, delighted. “Sounds hot!”

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.

Summary
Steve doesn't know what the invisible force that attacked him in the woods is, but he does know three things for sure: that Robin's cryptid podcast is somehow making more money than his Scoops Ahoy manager job; that every seven years something crawls out of a network of tunnels underneath the woods outside of Hawkins, and now it's out for revenge; and that it would be really nice if poltergeists would stop beating him up when he's trying to flirt with the local ghost whisperer.

Summary
“Sorry, just wondering how this is my life. Talking about D&D to Steve Harrington on a dinner date in my trailer.”
Eddie stares at Steve while he continues eating, the thought just left hanging in the air until he swallows and says, "I know I didn't phrase it as such, but that was actually a question."
"Oh."
Steve hesitates. He pours himself some more wine to stall and wonders how to say this without sounding like an asshole. “So… Robin made this joke."
-
Steve’s not stupid, he knows Robin had said it as a joke, but the words, “There’s always Eddie” had passed her lips and Steve can’t stop thinking about it. In another world Eddie would have been perfect for Steve. You know. If Steve was into dudes, obviously.- Language:

Summary
Steve jerks awake, sitting up so quickly that Robin almost topples over and staring wildly around the room. When his gaze lands on Eddie, he blanches visibly.
“Oh, shit,” he mutters. “Come on, no. Come on. Not again.”
“Harrington?” Eddie asks slowly. He does not love the way that Steve is staring at him right now. He really doesn’t. Steve looks like he’s staring at a ghost, a bloodied monster, like Eddie is something that should not exist in the light of day. “You good, dude?”

Summary
The third day in a row he sees expletives graffitied over an image of his own face—the post office bulletin board, this time, and there’s another errand Uncle Wayne won’t want him running anymore—Eddie waltzes into the Family Video and sprawls his whole torso across the counter. “I’ve decided I’m gonna live to a hundred,” he proclaims.
“Why?” Robin asks, at the same time Steve says “How?” and Eddie grins, showing all his teeth. He’s taken to checking his brakes haven’t been cut every time he starts the van.
“Pure spite, baby. They wanna kill me, they’ve gotta get through me first.”

Getting Eddie Munson to graduate, and other acts of heroism by liionne
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
20 Jul 2022

Summary
It had only been about two weeks since Vecna and their trip to the upside down and everything had just… gone back to normal. As it always did. Life went on. The kids went back to school, he and Robin went back to work, Nancy and Jonathon were getting ready for college and Eddie…
Apparently, no one thought to check in on Eddie.
Recovering from first-time exposure wasn't easy, especially not when your return meant trying to graduate high school for the third time, so Steve decides he's going to do whatever it takes to help Eddie Munson graduate, even if it means re-learning 12th grade U.S History, and learning some things about himself along the way.
