Shall I compare thee to some shit that's gay?

Steve has been going through the cemetery on his runs for years, has passed by this unkept grave for as long as he can remember, and well. He feels bad for this poor dead guy that no one visits.

He's the last party member left in Hawkins. He gets it.

So the next time he's on a run, he tears up some of the weeds. The time after that, he cleans away the trash. And so on and so forth until the grave looks nice, taken care of.

He chats to the guy sometimes - sometimes this is the only conversation Steve has that day. He tells the guy about his run time, about his students, about his friends and meeting up at Robin's weird uncle's house every couple months because, "Every month was a little excessive, you know? It's, yeah. Quarterly is better and-"

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, shit," Steve startles. "Hi. I'm not trespassing or-"

The stranger that approaches doesn’t look like he works here. His leather jacket, long hair, and handfuls of rings doesn't exactly scream graveyard worker so, "Uhhhhh, oh! Do you know him?"

"Yeah," The guy says slightly amused. "He's my dad. Do you know him?"

"N-no," Steve winced, realizing how weird this is. "His grave was a little overgrown so I cleaned it up and, I don't know. He's a good listener. I’m Steve, by the way."

"Eddie," He says, gesturing to Al Munson's headstone. "That must've been a skill he developed beyond the grave."

"Oh."

"Yeah," Eddie nods. "Too busy hitting women and kids to listen to anyone."

"...Oh."

Steve frowns. He's been telling a total piece of shit about how lonely he is.

"But hey," Eddie perks up. "If you want a real good listen just step a few paces to your right."

Steve looks to his right at the next gravestone. He never really paid jt much mind because it was well kept and well loved. There were always fresh flowers for Elizabeth Munson.

"She got a lot of practice listening to me," Eddie adds. "I think she would like you."

Okay, so he's spent the last couple months talking to this woman's abuser and - "Oh, Jesus. Why am I still here? Let me get out of your hair and-"

"Nah," Eddie says. "Stay. I'm not in town a lot anymore to keep her company. Let me introduce you."

Eddie's concept for season 5🦇

[morganbritton132]

Steve may have been trapped in a Russian elevator, drugged, tortured, fought a flesh monster, watched his high school bully die, and can’t really remember if Robin’s mom picked her up or he lost her but…

The window is down, the air is fresh, and the wind is blowing through his dirty blood-tacky hair and, you know what?

“This is better than the last time I got kidnapped.”

“For the last time,” Eddie says behind the wheel of his van. “You’re not kidnapped. You got on my van. No one asked you to be here.”

“Okay.”

“What do you mean last time?” Gareth asked, poking his head up from the back. “When were you last kidnapped?”

Steve stares blankly ahead either not hearing or not caring to answer the question. Eventually, he asks, “Are you taking me to your lair?”

“We’re taking you to the hospital.”

[morganbritton132]

Eddie hates hospitals.

He has accepted that it makes him a bad person if he pulls up outside the emergency room and pushes Steve out of his van, but that’s what he wants to do.

Unfortunately, his friends are better people.

They want to stick around to make sure Harrington doesn’t croak so…Eddie drops them off. He parks the van.

He’s sitting in the driver’s seat, head resting against the wheel, giving himself a minute when - “Whoa, too loud.”

Eddie’s scream dies on his lips and he watches in disbelief as Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington melts his sailor suit aas back into the passenger seat of his van. Again. For the second time tonight.

“What the f-“

“Can’t be in there.”

Despite the fact that his heart is jackrabbiting in his chest, Eddie is incredibly calm when he asks, “Why not?”

“Cause,” Steve slurs, eyes looking everywhere without seeing anything. “Bone saw.”

“Bone what?”

“I don’t want ‘em to rip of n’more of m’fingernails.”

Eddie frowns.

He looks down at Steve’s hands in his lap, at the dried blood on the fingertips of his left hand, and finally asks, “What the hell happened to you?”

[corrodedbisexual]

Steve finds Eddie on a crawl to the Upside Down. But something's clearly not right with him... For one, where's all the blood and wounds?

In case you're wondering why I need to go and lie down now. This was the base I was starting from. Jesus fucking Christ I am a goddamn wizard

[morganbritton132]

Eddie was never a jealous man until he started dating Steve.

Now he’s watching Steve get ready for bed wearing a T-shirt that says Hagan across the back and fantasizing about running that shirt through a shredder.

[morganbritton132]

The jealousy Eddie feels seeing Tommy’s name plastered across Steve’s back does not hold a candle to the absolute rage Tommy feels when he sees his own name…on Eddie Munson.

Tommy is about to turn this gas station into Chernobyl when he sees Steve lean into Eddie’s space and tease him about wearing his clothes. He says that he thinks Eddie looks good wearing his clothes.

But they’re not Steve’s clothes. They’re Tommy’s clothes.

There’s a T. Hagan on the inner tag.

Tommy watches them leave together and then punches the slushie machine so hard that he has to get a job to fix it.

[morganbritton132]

Steve has to check in with his friends on the reg in this post or they think he’s dead in a ditch because everyone genuinely thought he was at one point.

Steve kinda disappears off the face of the earth when everybody leaves for college.

It’s not intentional.

He just doesn’t have anything to add when everybody is talking about their new college lives. It’s easy to say nothing when nothing is happening.

And then he drives into a ditch.

He slides on black ice, loses control of his car, and goes over the edge. He tells no one.

He climbs out of the wreckage, manages to flag down a passing car, and spends the night in the hospital with another concussion. And he tells no one.

He couldn’t if he wanted to. His phone is in his car.

Meanwhile, Robin is realizing they she’s halfway through the semester and hasn’t talked to Steve in a while so she checks his location.

It looks like he’s parked off the side of a backroad. She figures his parents are home and he can’t take his date there. She puts her phone down and doesn’t pick it back up until morning and…Steve is in the same location.

She calls. No answer.

She gives it exactly thirty-three minutes and calls again. No answer.

She calls Dustin and he calls. No answer.

Eventually, Erica agrees to go to Steve’s location and…a tow truck is pulling his car out of a ditch.

She bikes to Steve’s house but no one is there because he moved out a month ago to a trailer in Forest Hills and told no one about it.

Everybody is panicking.

It accumulates in Hopper driving to Hawkins, getting his new address from Mr Clark, and showing up at his door.

Steve barely asks what he’s doing there before he’s crushed in a hug.

Now Steve has Instagram.

[morganbritton132]

For the briefest second before Twitter reloaded, I saw a prompt or maybe just someone’s idea that was like, ‘Eddie has to win over the party before he can woo Steve’ and that’s all I saw before it went away.

I like this idea and I like the idea of Mike being the final hold out.

Eddie was kinda figuring that Dustin would be hard to win over (and he was) or maybe Max (and she was too) but Mike won’t budge.

Everybody thinks it’s because he doesn’t like Steve but it’s actually because Mike knows Steve too well.

Steve was over at their house a lot when he was dating Nancy so Mike has seen Steve when he’s not being The Babysitter, and honestly. He thinks Steve deserves better like, “You don’t even like the stuff he likes. What are you talking about?”

“Well,” Eddie jokes. “There wouldn’t be a lot of talking.”

“Oh, so you just want to use him for his body?” He asks. “Like that’s not one of his biggest fears? You wanna feed into the belief that he’s only a pretty face?“

“Wait, what fear?”

“Maybe you should know who you’re trying to date before you date him. Munson.”

FUCKING LOVE THIS

Everyone thinks it's because Mike thinks Eddie is too cool for Steve, but actually it's because Steve is probably the best male role model Mike ever had and he's gonna pretend he hates him but he just wants to protect him.

Little scene I was thinking about earlier

Omega Eddie who's always been proudly defiant when it comes to learning traditional omega skills.

After SURVIVING the upside down and vecna, Steve has him hidden and safe in his house, taking care of him. Eddie convinces Nancy to bring him some stuff to make dinner, because maybe living under alpha Steve's care and protection has been really nice and he wants to dip his toe into domestic shit a little.

He knows you can get premade pie crust and pot pie filling in a can so Nancy brings him the stuff. He might not know how to cook it from scratch but goddamn it he can feed his alpha

....and ask him to be his alpha.

Cut to Steve coming home to Eddie sobbing on the kitchen floor next to a burnt pie. Eddie refuses to really explain what happened or why he was cooking at all considering he doesn't do that normally.

Steve realizes what's happening, and grabs the burnt pie.

It's bad....it's genuinely really very bad. But he shovels it onto his mouth and tells Eddie he's a good omega.

[infinite-orangepeel]

can’t stop thinking about eddie working at WSQK with steve and robin because OF COURSE HE WOULD HELLO and him forcing all of hawkins to listen to black sabbath at 7 am on their daily commute

[sillystringstar]

[sillystringstar]

[unsteddie]

To Mike's credit, how could he have known that he's only attracted to people with super powers?

[unsteddie]

Listen, it's not Eddie. I know that, you know that, the duffers know that.

But my heart? She's a dumb bitch

[morganbritton132]

Hopper has got to find a new place to get coffee in the morning because - “I need to report a missing person.”

“Jesus, kid,” Hopper swears, checking his watch even though he already knows that, “It’s seven in the morning?”

“Yeah,” Steve nods. “And I need to report a missing person.”

Hopper sighs.

This six year old - in his khakis and collared shirt on a goddamn Saturday morning- climbs into the booth next to a clearly hungover Callahan and lays a Bugs Bunny folder onto the table.

“Hi, Bozo,” He says to Callahan before pushing the folder over to Hopper. “I made wanted posters for you to use.”

“Wanted posters are not the same as a missing person flier.”

“Well, I want you to find him.”

“Who’s missing, kid?” Hopper asks. He’s kinda hoping it’s his parents so he can charge them with child abandonment but knows it’s something stupid like-

“The weird kid from the park,” Steve answers. “He said that he’d come back but I haven’t seen him for sixteen days, Mr Hopper. That’s un-usual behavior ‘cause he’s always at the park.”

“Well, kid,” Hopper says. “I distinctly remember having a conversation with Wayne Munson about his nephew going home. He’s not missing.”

Steve despairs, “Then where is he???”

Hopper tries to remember if Wayne told him where that kid actually lived and then remembered that you can lie to children so, “Pennsylvania.”

“Can I walk there?”

“No.”

“What if I ride my bike?”

“No.”

Steve slumps, presses his forehead to the edge of the table and insisting, “He said he’d come back.”

He says quieter, “I miss him.”

There’s really nothing Hopper can say to mend a loss friendship so he doesn’t try. He finishes his coffee and pats the kid in the back, “Come on, kid. I’ll give you a ride back home.”
