Summary
Post Season 4, Volume 2:
The world hasn't ended yet. Life isn't normal but it's not quite terrible either and everyone is just sort of... waiting.
Steve obsessively patrols the edges of Hawkins always wary for Vecna's return, always looking for monsters, always letting his path circle round the tiny trailer in the woods where Eddie Munson is alive and hiding, never daring to let himself stop and linger.
Eddie wants wants wants Steve to stop and linger, wants to bring Steve in and bring Steve *down* and show Steve just how gentle Eddie would treat if if only Steve would settle and submit a tiny bit.
In the tentative, tense days after the world doesn't quite end but before life is normal again, Steve learns what it means to be taken care of and Eddie learns what it means to be *needed*.
But when the Upside Down surges again, nightmares and shadows and terror, is the fragile peace they've found together enough to keep them safe?

Summary
Halloween night 1984, Omega!Steve stumbles soul sick and heart broken out of a party, the echo of ‘bullshit’ ringing through his mind, grief tripping up his steps and his scent fracturing in a hopeless cry for help.
No one except Alpha!Billy Hargrove is there to witness the former King of Hawkins High fall to his knees, crumpling from the pain of Nancy’s rejection.
No one but Billy is there to pick Steve up from the pavement, to hold the Omega right up over his heart till angry tears have turned to desperate kisses, and to hear Steve whisper ‘don’t leave me’ as the November sun rises over Hawkins, Indiana.
****“You called me Alpha.” Billys blue eyes turned red with rage when he found Steve back at Nancy’s side a few days later. “I take something like that real fuckin’ personal.”
“Billy--”
“Wheeler.” He lit a cigarette and stared the other Alpha down. “Get your hands off my mate. Now.”
“Let it go, Billy.” Steve said softly pleading, but Billy shook his head.
“No, I don’t think I will.”

Dirty Little Secret (I'll Keep You) by NotEvenCloseToStraight
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
The notes are shoved into Eddie’s locker, lewd offers for a no strings attached, no eye contact encounter from guys that refuse to dirty up their life, their social standing, or the pretty perfect All American girl they’re dating with the stigma of being gay.
It’s only ever Eddie on his knees in the dirt, on the ground, on the locker room floor, rough hands and sneers, never reciprocation but always ‘this never happened’’ and being ignored the next day like whoever Eddie is and how he loves is wrong.
Eddie laughs at their anger and bats his eyes obnoxious when they pass in school. He pretends their words don’t hurt and soaks up the brief seconds of fake affection so he won’t feel lonely anymore, so he can stop thinking about King Steve and unrequited love before it breaks his heart again.
But one day, STEVE is the one to leave a note in Eddie’s locker and it HAS to be a joke, some sort of cruel, taunting, popular kids ganging up on The Freak hell of a joke, right?
…Eddie doesn’t know if his heart can take being Steve’s dirty little secret.

Summary
Sequel to "Dirty Little Secret (I'll Keep You):
The morning after hooking up for the first time, Steve is halfway to falling in love while Eddie is cold and withdrawn and unable to look Steve in the eye.
The King of Hawkins High has to work had to convince Eddie that their date was real, that the note he left was nothing like the other humiliating, degrading notes the other boys leave in the locker when they want Eddie's mouth but don't give a damn about his heart.
Steve cares so much-- maybe too much?-- about Eddie's heart and Eddie's smile and he's not about to let Eddie regret their night together. He wants another chance to treat Eddie RIGHT, and even if it takes an argument, a whole lot of alcohol and a stumbling, slurring shouted confession in the middle of the trailer park to talk Eddie into giving him another chance.

Summary
Final Part of the "Dirty Little Secret" AU:
********
Steve leaves a note in Eddie's locker, heart shaped and covered in glitter: "Do you like me? Check Yes or No."It's dorky and ridiculous and so different from all the other notes the All American 'straight' boys leave in his locker that Eddie wants to keep it forever.
The date starts at the movies and ends with Eddie straddling Steve in the front seat of the BMW, there's music and unbearable schmoopsiness, first-second-third kisses that lead to breathless confessions and real life intervening with a little bit of hatred and a chance for Steve to prove he wants everyone to know exactly who he loves.
Steve has every intention of being a gentleman on the date.
Eddie has no such inclinations.

Summary
Steve was adorable wearing Eddie’s clothes. He was stupidly sexy wearing Eddie’s clothes. Steve was unfairly breaking Eddie’s brain wearing his clothes and it was just downright indecent.
“Steve.” Eddie swallowed hard and lowered his voice. “Steve, go change.”
“What?” Steve’s nose wrinkled when he frowned. “Why?”
“Go change.”
“But I’m comfortable.”
“Go. Change.”
“Eddie, I don’t understand--”
“PUT THAT THING BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME!” Eddie planted his feet and pointed violently at the crop top. “SO HELP ME STEVE HARRINGTON!”

Summary
“I’m in heat.” Billy blurted and Steve froze. “I’m in heat.”
“Oh shit.” The Alpha swallowed, then swallowed again. This was not a good situation. “Uh, Billy that sucks. But I don’t understand why you’re here."
“Neil kicked me out.” Billy muttered. “He won’t let me work through it at the house, told me I had to get out and it’s not like I can sweat this out in my car.”
Steve made a semi disbelieving noise and Billy screwed his eyes shut, breathing out a frustrated curse. “Max says you’re safe. And I really need a safe place for the next few days. Call it a favor to Max or I can pay you if you want, but I can’t go back to Neil’s house and I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
The Alpha stayed silent, and Billy’s voice cracked with loneliness and desperation. "I don’t have anyone else I can ask."

Summary
Post The Battle of Starcourt, Billy moves in with Steve and tries to put his life back together.
***
It started with cookies. If Billy could make cookies, just simple sweet treats, if he could do that with out ruining anything, then maybe it would count as a first step towards being okay.Getting comfortable in the kitchen when he wasn’t comfortable anywhere else could be a first step towards normal.
Sharing cookies with with Steve so Steve would light up smiling sunshiney like a goddamn gorgeous doofus could be a first step towards a new life that didn’t have Neil and didn’t have secrets and hurt and pain all the damn time.
A first step towards fixing up his heart and maybe a little bump of courage so the next time Steve hugged him, Billy would be brave enough to hug back.
Chocolate chip cookies.
Billy could do this.

Summary
November 1984. Steve and Billy discover they are soulmates but to protect them both from Neil, Billy lies and says he doesn’t want Steve, doesn’t need a soulmate, he isn’t gay, Steve had better stay away.
July 1985. The Mind Flayer takes Billy and uses the buried soulmate connection between the boys to force Billy compliant and to distract Steve from investigating with the Party.
Tricked into thinking his soulmate finally wants him, Steve falls head over heels for (Not) Billy, but when the Sauna Test proves ‘possession’, Steve’s entire world collapses.
In the aftermath of Starcourt, Billy’s body and mind are broken, Steve’s heart and soul are fractured and each step towards healing is an uphill battle as Billy desperately tries to make amends and Steve rejects him at every turn.
There aren’t enough stitches in the world to heal the betrayal and heartbreak tearing the soulmates apart, but in the very quiet moments between doctors appointments, nightmares and breakdowns… maybe Steve and Billy can still learn how to love each other.

Summary
Eddie folded his arms and leaned against the counter, wholly charmed by Steve being shy and more than a little intrigued by just what Steve might have dreamed that left him so flustered. “So. You had a dream about me. Got a little spicy. That’s why you’re avoiding me?”
“It’s just.” Steve bent over at the waist, hugging his midsection and groaning out loud. “Christ, Eddie. Everything was perfectly fine and whatever was sort of happening between us was fine, it was great and exciting and I was having a lotta fun with you but then I dreamed and-- and--got those thoughts and now--”
Eddie waited and Steve mumbled, “Fuckinbutterflieswhenyoulookatme.”
“What was that?” Eddie bent forward, eyes wide and a smile stretching goofy at his mouth. “What was that? What do you get when I look at you?”

Five Times Eddie and Steve Propose to Each Other and One Time They Actually Get Married
*****
1987“Hey Harrington.” Eddie eyed the pack of demodogs charging towards the gate. “You wanna get married?”
“Uh.” Steve shot him a bewildered look. “What did you say?”
“You wanna get married.” Eddie repeated, “Like get pronounced Mister and Mister?”
“I think.” Steve laughed a little, strained and stressed. “We’ve got more important things to worry about right now.”
“This is definitely not the right time for this conversation, I agree.” Eddie took a deep breath as the noise of the demo-pack got louder. “But I’m definitely about to die so I’d like to go out married to the hottest guy in Hawkins. Put it on my gravestone- Here Lies Eddie the Banished. Husband to the Hottest Guy in Hawkins.”
“Jesus Christ.” Steve flipped on his flame thrower. “Okay yeah. If we survive this, I'll marry you."
"Gonna hold you to that, Stevie."
"Eddie." Steve said a quick prayer as the first of the monsters approached. "I hope you do."

Summary
(It's just super soft Omegas falling in love in super soft ways)
****Two am. Eddie needed more. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
He stretched his fingers and brushed over the sleeping Omega's ribs. He didn’t linger on the warm skin, didn’t hover at the pale scars branded at Steve’s back, just touched cautious and tugged once. Quick. There and coaxing but then gone so if Steve woke up annoyed, Eddie could call it an accident.
“Hey.” Steve rolled over immediately and pulled Eddie right into a hug, one arm under the pillow and the other wrapped at Eddie’s waist, urging him in close. Their legs tangled, knees knocking and Steve fit Eddie tighter into his body, set his chin atop Eddie’s hair so the Omega was tucked into his throat. “Better?”
“St-Steve.” Overwhelmed. Too much. Perfect. Eddie set his nose at the bump of Steve's bonding spot where the Omega's scent was the strongest and Steve purred sweetly content, then folded in closer around Eddie like he never wanted to let go. “Yeah, that’s better.”
“Pretty Omega.” Almost inaudible, whispered into the late night quiet and not really meant to be heard. “M’ so glad you’re here…”

Mr. Harrington Gets a Massage by NotEvenCloseToStraight

Summary
A not-yet-out-of-the-closet Steve books a *happy ending* massage at a spa.
Massage Therapist Billy is all too happy to help Steve figure out just how much he likes another guy's hands on him.
****
Steve went a little more liquid with every minute passed, shifting and sighing when Billy found a sore spot, humming when anything felt particularly good and when Billy kneaded into the tightness low at Steve’s back, Steve didn’t stop himself from moaning out loud, “Right there, y-yeah right there, that’s good--”“Mmmm, that’s it Princess.” The pet name slipped out unintentional. The growl in Billy’s voice when he bent to run his nose along a few moles on Steve’s back was purely in-tentional. “How you feeling?”
“Y-you feel amazing.” Steve gripped tight at the table when Billy’s lips landed just barely at his skin, and stammered out, “I didn’t even know I was sore there. That feels so good.”
“Yeah?” Billy grinned, leaned over the table under the guise of adjusting the other side of the sheet and used the opportunity to shamelessly press the bump of his cock into Steve’s thigh. “You haven’t felt nothing yet.”

Six years after the Battle of Starcourt, Single Dad Alpha!Billy Hargrove returns to Hawkins with his son for a wedding, for Christmas... and to reunite with the Omega he left behind.
****
"I thought I’d come back to Hawkins and you’d be one white picket fence away from Ted Wheeler." Billy tried to smile. "Bonded and mated up, two kids, a dog, house in the suburbs, the whole thing.""Yeah well." Steve took a slow drink of his coffee. "I'm not exactly the white picket fence type anymore."
"Waiting for the right Alpha?" Billy couldn't help the hope in his voice, but it was dashed when Steve's lip curled in a snarl, "Oh fuck you, Billy Hargrove. You left me."
"Omega." Billy shook his head. "Steve, I never meant to--"
"Fuck you, Billy Hargrove." Steve repeated in a heartbroken whisper. "You left me."
"...I'm here now though."

Summary
Post Barb's funeral, a brutal panic attack drops Steve right into a painful, stress induced partial shift. He calls the only person he thinks would be willing to help-- Lion Shifter!Billy Hargrove.
****
“Harrington.” Billy found Steve huddled in a corner, arms wrapped around his knees and visibly shivering…and partial shifted into the prettiest feline Billy had ever seen.“Oh holy hell.” Billy’s steps slowed and his eyes went wide when he caught a glimpse of porcelain fangs gleaming white behind red lips, the ripple of additional muscle bulging beneath Steve’s tight polo and twin tips of soft, furry ears peaking through the tangled mess of hair. "Look at you."
"B-Billy?" Steve blinked glazed, green and gold eyes up at him sluggishly. "Help me."
"Don't you worry, Pretty kitty." Billy knelt in front of him and reached to cup Steve's chin. "I'm gonna take care of you."
