Summary
The descent is slow, like watching someone knock your mom’s favorite crystal vase off the shelf and the sheer horror and panic that overwhelms you and slows time down, makes you think that you can get across the room in time to catch it.
But you never do, do you?
The vase shatters and with it, so does every preconceived notion you have of yourself.
That’s what Steve learns.
He learns how to fall, gracefully even.
And in the end, he learns how to shatter.Or
Steve saves Eddie in the Upside Down and it's hilarious and it broke Steve wide open.
There is family, and oh god, there is so much love.

The way I actually spent hours reading the last three chapters. I mean genuinely I put off making dinner and ignored everything around me because I had to know how it was gonna end. Will almost definitely make me cry again!!!

Summary
HailToTheKing: tell me what you look like
ELMst01: tall, pale af, few tats here and there
Steve lifts his eyes from his phone. He must be wondering why Eddie is smiling like a fucking idiot.
Eddie pretends not to notice Steve sizing him up from head to foot.
Judging bastard.
HailToTheKing: sounds hot
HailToTheKing: just my type
OR
The only thing worse than Steve Harrington, is the fact that Eddie got paired with him for his college assignment. At least the sexy guy he subscribes to on OnlyFans is a good distraction to keep Eddie's mind away from Steve, and the annoying crush he hates that he's starting to develop on his project partner.

Boys are so stupid but I love them so much. So oblivious to feelings, both their own and others!!! Eddie’s initial thoughts on sex are still mine and WOOF I guess I should work on those 😂😂😂😂

This is so cute and fluffy at the end that I truly was nauseous about it. Fantastic, I’ll take a dozen more.

Summary
It’s the spinning that does it. Eddie couldn’t look away if someone paid him. Every single time it happens, he just stops what he’s doing and stares. Drooling.
Before, it was just kitchen utensils or the baseball bat. Now...now it’s at band practice every day.
As it turns out, Steve can actually keep rhythm really well and while he can’t read music to save his ass, he understands beats and notes like a natural. The problem is- the problem is, that he keeps spinning those fucking drumsticks and Eddie’s gonna jizz in his goddamn jeans one of these days.
OR - Steve becomes the drummer for Corroded Coffin and Eddie can't handle his thirst

Summary
“Woah, hello.” Steve’s hands fly off Eddie’s body, raising them to the air like he’s been caught red handed. Ass handed? Brown handed? No, that’s gross.
“Don’t fucking pout at me.”
“I’m not pouting.”
“You look like I just ran over your dog!”
Steve’s disappointed expression smooths into feigned nonchalance, lips pursed as his eyes drift over Eddie’s shoulder, even though he looked awfully devastated over the concept of Eddie needing his hands off him for, like, two seconds.
His eyes make their way back to Eddie’s, their gazes locking once more, and– ugh. There’s something mischievous about Steve’s newfound attention. His hand closes around Eddie’s jaw, thumb rubbing circles near the corner of his mouth “Don’t you want to come?”
“I do,” Eddie groans, because his resolve is like ash falling from a cigarette butt. So easy to flick off. “I really fucking do.”
(or: eddie gets wined and dined, then loses his v-card in an incredibly confident and not-at-all nerve-wracking manner.)
