Under the Myrtle by @lorifragolina | Art by @raven-cl
Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply
Character(s): Steve Harrington, Billy Hargrove, Steve Harrington’s parents
Relationship(s): Steve Harrington/Billy Hargrove
Summary: A shepherd and a stranger, in the woods by the lake, under the myrtle, in a sweet, warm spring. There is love, there are secrets, there are broken promises and faith in the gods. — He was wearing the white tunic, almost completely opened on his chest, and a golden chain was sparkling around his neck. He was barefoot and the pebbles and twigs seemed to not bother him. The man stood near him, looking at him with a smile. He was more or less as tall as him, but for some reason Steve felt uneasy in front of him. He sat up and looked at the man in return, speechless and bewitched. “You…” he heard himself whispering to the stranger. The air seemed still and he feared breathing. The man giggled, and this little laugh seemed like the song of a fresh and cheerful waterfall. “It’s you who spies on people when they are taking their baths?” The man asked, still smiling under his tiny mustaches, tilting his head to him. Steve nodded. He couldn’t trust his own voice. “You scared me,” continued the other sweetly. Steve blinked, and the man got nearer and sat at his side.

Warning(s): Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings
Character(s): Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson
Relationship(s): Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson; Tommy Hagan/Steve Harrington (Unrequited)
The prince smiles and plucks the lute from his limp fingers, carefully setting it down next to the bed. Eddie can’t recall when he stopped playing. “Look at you. Not just easy on the eyes, but smart to boot. Knew I made a good choice with you.”
Those graceful fingers are on his face now, caressing his cheekbones on either side, slipping into his curls, and Eddie’s insides are warm and light.
“My prince—” he starts to say, but that pretty face twists into a scowl and a soft finger pushes against his lips.
“Let’s try something new, Just Eddie.” Those beautiful eyes are alight with mischief, a temptation dangling just barely within reach. “When we’re like this … Can I be Just Steve? Do you think you can do that?”
Something inside Eddie coils.
“Steve,” he whispers against pink lips. The name is sweet nectar, the juice of forbidden fruit on a hot summer day, a sin and a secret and an oath.
Steve smiles and the sun rises in the moonlit room.
Eddie says his name a thousand times more on that night and the nights that follow.
In a world where the king is worshipped as the living embodiment of the sun itself, two boys learn to navigate life in their golden cage.

Butter, Sugar, and Northern Mockingbirds by @thefreakandthehair | Art by @janie-bean
Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply
Character(s): Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley, Stranger Things Ensemble
Relationship(s): Steve Harrington / Eddie Munson
“Holy shit, Steve, this cookie has no right to be this good,” Eddie praises, cookie crumbs stuck to the corner of his lips. “What did you put in this? Drugs? Is it drugs? I feel like it could be drugs, they’re that good.”
It’s not the first time he’s felt these proverbial butterfly wings flapping against the inside of his ribs. Every time they’re alone together, every time their shoulders graze or eyes meet, every time Steve sees Eddie smile with that stupid dimple that not even the slashing scar across his cheek can hide, the little thing with wings that’s taken up residence close enough to his heart to set it alight goes insane.
He should know how to handle the feeling by now, but he doesn’t.
You’re Under My Skin (burning in my bloodstream) by @lihhelsing | Art by @lady-lostmind
Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply
Character(s): Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Chrissy Cunningham, Robin Buckley, Gareth
Relationship(s): Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson
Steve’s not sure why he keeps betting on things with Robin when he knows he’s going to lose. Except this time the bet ends up with him getting his nipple pierced and it seems like the guy who’s about to run a needle through his skin is hotter than Steve expected and he’s having trouble keeping it together.
But after a charged first encounter, Steve has no way to get in touch with Eddie and thinks he lost his chance until he runs into him in the most unexpected of places and finds out Eddie is a lot more than Steve initially thought.
OR; Eddie gives Steve a piercing and Steve is clueless about his true identity.

What else are best friends for?
