I had the absolute pleasure of getting to write a fic based on this amazing art by @ahhrenata for @strangerthingsreversebigbang! Link to art post Thank you @oh-stars for betaing this! Read the fic on ao3 or under the cut!

Eddie rolls over with a groan. He feels awful. He can’t breath out of his nose, there’s so much pressure in his head he feels like it might explode and his throat feels like he swallowed a cup of razors. He lets out a truly pathetic whimper, the sound catching in his throat as it turns into a cough. He stretches his arm out, feeling around for Steve and is met with cold, empty sheets. He whines again and finally pries his eyes open. 

“Stevie?”

Summary:

"Eddie shuffles closer to him. Knows he shouldn’t, knows he should steer this somewhere neutral, somewhere more distant, something more akin to just checking in on a friend but he can’t, he can’t. Not when Steve’s looking bashful, not when he’s awkwardly picking up a bit of paper again and folding it anxiously, not when he smells like the sea on a summer’s day and honey-sweet all at once.

“Seriously Steve, this is cool. Maybe you could make something for a campaign? Figurines are expensive, and honestly some of these are better. We could paint them, too.”

Steve looks up at him then. Really looks, and Eddie’s heart gallops in his chest at the sight of those warm brown eyes.

“I made them all for you,” Steve murmurs.

In the wake of Vecna's defeat, with his friends busy with the aftermath, Steve takes up origami, tries to heal his scars in his big empty house , and falls in love with the alpha that comes to visit him daily.

Eddie."

Summary:

Once upon a time, in a far off kingdom, there lived a beautiful maiden…

Chrissy was born to marry a prince. Her mother prayed daily for a daughter, a babe with rose petal lips and dark lashes, one who would grow up graceful and delicate, lovely enough to catch the eye of the king's son. And when she did, she was locked away in a tower for safekeeping with all she could ever need in her new home.

Everything except companionship.

And she was so lonely until her father brought her a gift.

Summary: Eddie had been planning his Ren Faire outfit for weeks. The thrifted poet shirt, the hand-embellished vest, the leather bracers he'd tooled himself. He looked good and he knew it.

What he hadn't planned for was the blacksmith.

Shirtless, sweat-soaked, and hammering molten steel like it was nothing, the man was, without question, the most devastatingly attractive human being Eddie had ever laid eyes on.

Summary:

Eddie hates that, ever since he started high school, Jason has slowly become a bully. He misses the kid who used to play with him in the church backyard. Even more, he misses the shy boy he once fell in love with.

No matter how much it hurts, it’s too late to go back to how things were. Things are different now, and Eddie can’t wait to finally leave Hawkins and all its bigoted inhabitants behind.

But when Jason drunkenly calls him in the middle of the night, all Eddie can do is answer.

Color him surprised when Steve offers to help.

Pairing(s): Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson; Robin Buckley/Chrissy Cunningham (background); Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley; Eddie Munson & Chrissy Cunningham

Summary:

They say that, when you meet your match, you feel it.

Sure, a true Lux Animae is a hard-earned thing - a bond that must be forged and shaped and toughened in the fires of battle over and over again, and, if done right, will last a lifetime and longer. Still, many people claim that they sensed it, even long before the ceremony.

It is, after all, the magic that does the choosing, and the magic knows. Knows who is destined to complete you, who will fight and cry and bleed for you and draw out your full potential like no other can. So, when you meet them, you’re supposed to feel it. You just need to know what to look out for.

A tingle, some say. A warm, heavy buzz that fills your veins the moment you lay eyes on each other. An electric spark, zapping through your body like a current upon that first careless touch, letting you know that this is the start of something bigger, something stronger, something more profound than both of you could possibly imagine.

The only thing that Eddie feels when Steve Harrington steps on his foot is pain.

Summary: By the time Steve Harrington graduates high school, he and his childhood best friend Eddie have hurt each other beyond repair. All of their good memories have been swept away in one afternoon of screaming, social pressure, and hurt feelings. Years later, when their new best friends start dating, Eddie and Steve reluctantly agree to try to get along for their sake, forced to confront the fact that neither of them are over it. The boys find that being vulnerable is hard, feelings are complicated, and that memory persists longer than they'd like. Can they let go of their pride and acknowledge what they once meant to each other, or are they doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?

Or: Steve and Eddie count the days before they can make their love public. That doesn't mean they can't be dorks in love in secret and drive their friends (mostly Robin) crazy.

When the situation escalates and both band leaders are forced to work on a song together for a publicity stunt, the tension between them lights a spark which, in turn, lights a fire.

Summary: The Titanic is the most luxurious ship ever to cross the Atlantic, and having a first-class cabin on its maiden voyage isn’t something Christine Cunningham expected when her aunt told her she was to marry William Hargrove and move to New York.

Billy isn’t thrilled either. His preferences don’t include pretty girls, but if he wants to inherit his father’s fortune, he’ll have to marry Chrissy.

Gareth Emerson doesn’t have these kinds of problems. He’s a musician who boards the Titanic after a lucky hand of cards and soon meets the most intriguing couple he has ever encountered.

The journey might have been pleasant, if it weren’t for the massive iceberg waiting in the middle of the ocean.

Showing off my art for the @strangerthingsreversebigbang where I got to work with @/droolovacoco on AO3 for the fic based off this, "A Rose It's Thorn, His Bite A Kiss" !! I had a lot of fun working on this, read the fic here !!

Summary: Steve Harrington's survived the Upside Down, the worst breakup of his life, and Billy Hargrove, and all he has to show for it is a grade point average that's not going to let him graduate. What's a boy to do?

Sign up for the school play for some extra credit, of course.

He has no idea what he's doing, and his co-star isn't making his life any easier.

the fic is now finished! You can read this part alone if you just want to get a feel for it:

Eddie Munson had been missing for long enough that Wayne started to fear the worst. Even his visits to the hospital has become less frequent, though he knew the kind nurses would let him know as soon as anyone even resembling his nephew showed in their care. Not many Hawkins citizens shared that sentiment, dismissing his boy as a mental case for the way he carried himself, for how he stood out from the crowd. 

Other young men his age were the most antagonistic towards him, so Wayne was pleasantly surprised when approached by a well-groomed boy asking him about Eddie. 

They've only met a couple of times, Steve always eager to listen more about Eddie and Wayne eager to share the love he has for the son he thought he would never have. He never though of it more than a good person with a big heart, understanding his pain and willing to help. 

Until that boy approached him on his way from work. All their other encounters were accidental, usually at the hospital they both frequented. But Wayne can tell Steve was waiting for him, which matched with the way he was looking around, left him on high alert. He was glad the afternoon sun was still above them.

"Son." He smiles and nods at the boy despite himself. "Good to see you." 

"Mr. Munson." Steve nods back and to his surprise, falls in step with him instead of stopping to talk.

"Just call me Wayne, son," he corrects him not for the first time, eyeing him with curiosity. "What brings you to this part of town? The hospital is quite a way from here."

"Wayne, sir," Steve starts, but falls silent again. He takes another look around, through the tightly built houses of factory workers and the store fronts squeezed between them.

"Son—"

"I'll bring you Eddie. Alive and well, better than before, even. I promise," Steve suddenly blurts out, not looking at him. 

Wayne freezes in his tracks.
