Summary: soul mate /ˈsōl ˌmāt/ noun noun: soulmate a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.
Steve's arms are covered in doodles, messages, and mantras, but almost nothing he writes back seems to go through.
Eddie continues to send his love letters to the void, using it to anchor himself when nothing else can.
The universe may have set Steve and Eddie up to be soulmates, but that doesn’t mean it made it easy.
AKA
Almost everything Eddie writes appears on Steve, but Steve can almost never get his words to appear on Eddie Soulmate AU.

Summary: Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone.
So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

Summary: Robin Buckley is a lesbian. And Eddie Munson is gay.
And they’re dating. Well, at least to the outside world. And to a very, (very) confused Steve.
“I told Steve Harrington you’re my boyfriend.” Through the receiver. Alien words through plastic. He wants to laugh, really he does, but all he can manage is a bit of stunned silence until
“Why the hell would you do that?” With no malice. Not even really a tone to his voice other than curiosity. He of all people shouldn’t really have to ask, because he already knew the answer. He was a liar too.
“I panicked” she says, a shuffling on the other end. “He was getting all… mushy, saying stuff about feelings..”
“For you?”
“I know, right, can you believe it?“
“You don’t think you could have told him the truth?” He asks, and there’s silence beneath the static. “Seems like you two are real close.”
And she sighs, and she lets out a noise of frustration that Eddie knows all too well, when you want to tell someone something, need to, and you can’t. You just can’t.
Because it’s Hawkins Indiana and sometimes you have to keep your mouth shut just to stay safe.

Summary: --“That’s why I’m saying! You call here, pretend to be a flirty little thing, looking for the right movie,” Robin batted her eyes at Eddie and he batted his right back with a grin, “and then you’ll be able to hear it first hand!” Eddie leaned away and laughed, throwing his arms up in the air."--
Eddie just wanted to get a little closer to Steve after everything they fought together. He just made a couple mistakes getting there.

Summary: “You know I think about two-thirds of Hawkins High would claw my actual eyes out to have the Steve Harrington as their soulmate.” Eddie says thoughtfully and then waggles his eyebrows.
Steve laughs. “Two-thirds? Seems awfully low.”
(Or: Steve Harrington’s multi-year bisexual awakening, soulmate style)
