Summary
In a world plunged into darkness, the moment came when light appeared. At first glance, the warm rays blinded my eyes, but at the same time they enveloped me like the warm arms of a loved one. I didn't know then that her warm arms would be able to burn my skin - and that I would let her do it.
Eddie Munson and Billy Hargrove - two different worlds, but are they really? On the outside, one is loud, strange, and funny, the other cold, distant, and distrustful. But what about their inner selves?
Which one is capable of sacrificing himself for the other person? Which one will burn his skin enough to understand what it means to love?
sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language :)

Summary
The man- now unmistakably Eddie Munson- opened his mouth as if to say something, choosing to instead launch himself at Steve. There was a second where Steve thought he was being attacked, knocked off kilter, but then Eddie’s arms were around him, burying his face in Steve’s hair. Half-collapsing beneath the weight, Steve guided them both to the floor, pulling Eddie closer instinctively. He felt thinner than he used to, the skin of his back littered with scars.
“Eddie,” Steve murmured disbelievingly, holding him as he shook like a leaf in Steve’s arms. “You’re not dead.”
Eddie laughed, despite the trembling. He clutched onto Steve’s shirt like a lifeline.
“Yeah,” he managed, voice high and vulnerable. “Sorry to disappoint.”
WARNING: This will contain season five spoilers, though it diverts from canon.

Biting his tongue, Ten lets momentary bravery take over, swinging the door open rapidly to face whatever horrors lay on the other side.

Returning to normal after the horrors that they lived through should be something that Steve was used to by now, but it wasn't. He wasn't the same and he didn't know if he'd ever be the same again. He knew that the others were struggling too, but he couldn't talk about it. Didn't know that there are people he should let help him.

Summary
"It was Harringron; sitting on a little stool, in the dark, wearing Eddie's vest, and holding his hands out like he wanted to calm down a rabid animal.
This. Is odd.
"So, guess I'm not dead" Eddie said, still catching his breath. Hands to his chest, he flopped onto his back. At least he can still do that, although he doubts he'll be able to get back on his side.
"No you're in my kitchen"
This revelation did little to explain anything. And in fact, confused Eddie even more."

Summary
“Well… You know… Fuck it, I’ll take you camping then,” the smile slipped off of his stupid fucking face as he realized what the fuck he had just said. What he had just fucking offered.
By the stunned look on Chrissy’s face, he knew that his stupid fucking mouth went too far this time. What the fuck was he thinking!? Oh yeah, she’d definitely go along with this fucking plan. She had to have been itching for him, the fucking King of the Freaks, to take her, the gorgeous and popular head cheerleader and Queen of Hawkins High, on a fucking camping trip for a fucking week during fucking spring break—
“Okay…”
“Huh?”
Or... Maybe all it takes is one van and one big sleeping bag for two people escape the curse of Hawkins for a week.

Ringed fingers emerged first, scratched as though with thorns. And, in the deadly half-quiet of the Upside Down, he heard some grunting, like someone was trying to work against gravity.
Then black curly hair, and Dustin screamed a blood-curdling scream, and raised the shovel, getting to his knees, and then to his feet.
But he locked eyes with brown ones he knew, oh very well indeed.

The Strange and Sacred Adventures of Church Mouse & The Rebel Knight by imlovemontanaduke

Summary
Reese Halverson didn't come to Hawkins looking for monsters—or boys who looked like them.
But sometimes the strangest things aren't under your bed. They're leaning against your locker. Watching you from behind the Dungeon Master screen. Offering you a daisy and asking if you'd like to roll initiative.
Eddie Munson was supposed to be dangerous. A freak. A cautionary tale.
But Reese sees something else: a feral puppy with a tender heart. A bard who speaks in Tolkien and metal lyrics. Someone who looks at her embroidered kittens and doesn't laugh—just smiles like he's found something rare.
A quiet story about a Cleric and her unlikely Knight. Moonlight meeting shadow. Saltine crackers and cinnamon toast under October stars. A girl who believes in both Scripture and monsters, and the boy who never expected grace to wear braces and drive a Firebird.
Slow burn. Soft moments. Sacred ones.
For anyone who's ever believed in both unicorns and redemption.
