Due to the illness of a team member, this week's episode will be moved to the 25th of November. Instead, we offer you some of our comfort fics to keep you cozy this weekend. 🍲🫂

“Hey so … I have some mixed news,” Steve says.
“Uh oh,” Eddie says, “are they changing your position, are you gonna be a — like a third base catcher man?”
Steve laughs and shakes his head, “no, nothing that bad - I found out more about the whole like, bringing a person along thing.”
“Oh cool,” Eddie says, sliding down on the couch next to him, “do I get like a fancy VIP pass?”
“You do,” Steve says, “there’s just one catch.”
“Okay?” Eddie asks, tilting his head and reaching for the tv remote.
“Apparently they usually reserve the box for the wives and girlfriends … so either you’re gonna have to be my boyfriend or you’re going to have to sit in the stands with the fans.”
Eddie makes a noise that must register to Steve as alarmed or upset because he rushes to finish.
“It’s not that bad, you just need to like, pretend to be my boyfriend so you can sit with the other WAGs and like, then you can be in the box and have all you can drink alcohol and snacks.”
“Did you agree to this!?” Eddie asks.
“If I say yes, how mad are you going to be?” Steve asks.
🚐 Six Kids and a Winnebago by Oddree13 (@oddree13)
Summer has come to Hawkins and the kids begged and pleaded to be driven to the lake to swim. Eddie agreed to take the second car full of gremlins which is how he finds himself sitting in the shade with Robin while the kids splash around the lakeshore. Almost immediately upon arrival, Steve began to set up a sandwich station for lunch with Nancy offering her assistance, leaving the pair to gossip and chat.
Eddie scans the scene before him and takes in the sight of Harrington and Wheeler making sandwich after sandwich, while the teenagers start a game of chicken. It’s almost too domestic for his taste but reminds him of something he’s been meaning to ask Robin. “So tell me, how much shit have you given Harrington for his six kids and a Winnebago comment?”

“So you’re not attracted to me? Like at all?” Steve asked.
Robin dropped her head onto the counter with a loud thump and a groan.
“Steve, buddy, you can calm down. I, Eddie Munson, am not attracted to nor planning to hit on King Steve. Scout’s honor,” Eddie held up his fingers to mirror a scout salute.
Or: 5 times Eddie wouldn't admit he finds Steve attractive and 1 time he finally did.

An ordinary shift at tech support ends up being the best thing to ever happen to Eddie Munson when frantic history major Steve Harrington rushes in to the repair shop (and his life) with a deadline to meet.
🐈 Munson Jr by ItCanBePalped (@itcanbepalped)
Munson. Harrington adopted a hideous alley cat and named it fucking Munson. He couldn't think of a single way to take that as a compliment. Was it too much to hope they were friends enough that they would be above insults? Wasn't Harrington supposed to be a good dude these days?
