    Summary

    When he gets the question, among their friends—and maybe someday: for the world—but when he answers that age-old question, he never imagined what his answer was gonna be.

    He’s a six-time Grammy winning metal god (a quote, from Metal Hammer directly, so). He was gonna find love in a fellow musician, or the crew, or a weirdly normal groupie. Maybe at a venue bar, if Eddie ever went out to get his own drink.

    He never did that, but like: if.

    Most likely though was that Eddie Munson would never find love, save that of his guitar, and that was alright, really. He’d kinda always expected that, so it wouldn’t have been, like. A disappointment. Just business as usual.

    That’s not how his story plays out, though. Thank fuck.

    But it tracks either way that he doesn’t envision that the question of how he met the love of his life would ever, in a million years, be: oh, at a book signing.

    A children’s book signing.

    Eddie doesn’t even have kids, man.

    Which makes it all the wilder still, when the reason for why everyone starts to ask ‘how’d you meet’ spawns from an attempt to fucking blackmail their asses.

    Summary

    Eddie doesn't know how they've gotten to this place where sometimes Steve just turns up like a bad penny, bloodied and hurt, like he's looking to Eddie to fix it.

    Eddie can't fix anything. He can't even fix himself.

    He can't even graduate high school. He definitely can't fix Steve Harrington's internal or external wounds.

    Or:

    Eddie finds himself watching, year after year, as Steve Harrington turns up at his place of work, beaten and bloodied.

    Summary

    After reuniting in Eddie’s trailer, the gang managed to get themselves over to Steve’s house to crash for the night. Eddie was just looking for some clean clothes, but somehow he had been roped into holding Steve down while Robin cleaned his bat bites. It was fine. He was fine with it. No, he wasn’t distracted by Steve’s practically see-through underwear. He was being so normal about this.
