    Summary

    "Every time Eddie Munson ran, he thought of Steve Harrington. Every time he saw a cassette tape or stared at the shoebox hidden in the back of his closet for too long, he remembered his face. He thought of Steve over plates of French toast with whipped cream. He thought of him while he stood in a mirror and flattened his chest until he looked "natural." He thought of him whenever he felt like running.
    Steve and 'Betty.' Something he'd never get back."

    Or:

    Steve and Eddie used to be best friends. Then, Eddie had to run. Will an evil nightmare-fueled wizard and impending apocalypse bring them back together?

    Summary

    “It’s some young guy,” she said. “Or, like, not super young. Our age, I think. Maybe a little older? From out of town. Or he is now, but used to be from here.”

    “What? Who is?”

    “That bought the Radioshack. Turning it into a bookstore? Some guy,” Robin continued. “That’s why Vickie even knows. They were trying to keep it all hush-hush because he didn’t want to buy it without, like, zoning permissions so he could do a full scale remodel to turn it into a bookstore. Otherwise he didn’t see a point, or so Vickie said Mrs Wheeler said.”

    Or: Steve owns a movie theater, and a bookstore moves in across the street.

    Summary

    “What’s going on?” Robin asks, looking between the two of them like she’s going to climb over the bed and strangle them both if someone doesn’t start explaining what's wrong with her best friend.

    “It’s not the Upside Down,” Dustin says, catching Eddie’s eye. He’s the only one Eddie had ever told. The only one that had stood a chance at recognizing the same symptoms Eddie just had. “Steve’s a Sentinel.”

    Summary

    Steve won’t ever be kept and cared for in the way he craves. He won’t ever be held like he’s something small and precious and breakable. He won’t ever be treated softly by virtue of his designation.

    He won’t ever have kids in the way that he so desperately wants to.

    He won’t ever be an omega.

    And if he stays a beta, he can’t be Eddie’s true mate, either. He can’t be his mate at all: the bite won’t stick. The scar won’t manifest and neither will the bond. Their body chemistry won’t allow it. Any attempt at a claim will slide off of his skin like droplets of water and heal right up.

    Genetically and physiologically incompatible.

    𓆩⟡𓆪

    In a world where alpha and omega presentations are triggered by the stress of traumatic events, Eddie Munson presents as an alpha the minute he’s dragged out of the Upside Down and into Hawkins Memorial Hospital.

    Steve Harrington has been a beta his whole life.

    Summary

    Steve makes a face at Eddie. “You've imagined doing stuff with a guy?”

    “Yeah, man,” Eddie replies, spreading his hands wide. “Doesn't everyone?”

    Steve tilts his head to the side as he thinks. Maybe not very often, but his freshman year when Davey Riggs had been swim team captain? Yeah, he had definitely imagined some stuff that had made trips to the locker room kinda awkward.

    “Yeah, that's true,” Steve answers, nodding. “I wonder why everybody acts like it's so gross, though.”

     

    In the summer of 1986, Steve and Eddie have some perfectly normal fun between a couple of perfectly normal dudes.
