gaten saying dustin wouldn't pick between eddie and steve bc they both mean so much to him in different ways while also saying he doesn't understand the need to separate them since steve and eddie get along well and he thought that eddie and dustin would convince steve to join in a DnD campaign with them since it would be "his dream" while also saying that dustin likes that eddie is unashamedly himself and he thinks that steve likes it too and i. i need a moment

Okay, so they told Dustin and it was… interesting.
If interesting is thinking your friend is dying, then telling him not to get pregnant by his boyfriend before ultimately shrugging your shoulders and bullying your way to the arcade.
So yeah.
Interesting.
And now to tell Robin.
Which is less scary in a sense but also, like, fucking terrifying in another. Because they didn't tell her first. Because Steve kinda sorted out the whole Bi-Sexual thing on his own when he fell into bed with Eddie on some random Saturday night.
So yeah. Maybe Steve's a little scared and maybe Eddie finds it hilarious, because why wouldn't he?
They're at Family Video, Eddie hanging out with Steve while he finishes up the last remaining hours of his shift. A shift Robin will soon be joining if the schedule in the break room is anything to go by.
They don't really have a solid plan, because why would they? They probably should but they've, um, been a little busy, if you get what I mean. So in the last five minutes they've decided to be themselves and let Robin catch on. That's their hardly existent, probably not the greatest plan.
And for the most part it works.
They're standing too close to be considered just friendly when Robin arrives. Shoulders brushing, Steve's lips tickling Eddie's ear as he whispers something that makes the man blush and smirk before slapping Steve's chest and playfully shoving him away.
Robin just looks, smiles and carries on to the back room to clock in and grab her vest. When she returns, she offers Steve a raised brow and a questioning glance but nothing more.
They carry on with their work routine, skirting around each other in perfect sync while Eddie forever hangs in Steve's orbit; making the man laugh or sneaking kisses on the cheek when they're hidden and no one's in the store.
Occasionally they think Robin notices the lingering touches or the not so well hidden kisses, but she never says anything, just carries on, only offering a smile or the continuation of a conversation they hadn't finished last shift.
It isn't until Steve's on break and Eddie has him pressed up against the wall in the break room that Robin finally says something.
But it's just a simple, "You two wanna quit fornicating for two seconds so I can get to the bathroom back there?"
Not a 'What the fuck?' Or 'Since when?' Or a 'Steve's gay?'
Nothing.
They boys separate, Steve's a little shocked and they stay silent as Robin passes by and ducks into the washroom.
"What the fuck?" Steve whispers, looking at Eddie as if also asking, 'did you also just witness the lack of reaction from Robin?'
To which Eddie responds with a crinkled nose and a shrug as if to say, 'What're ya gonna do?'
"But, like, that was weird, right? Like she didn't say anything really. Just pushed past and carried on."
"Maybe she already knows?"
"Maybe"
And then there's a voice coming from the bathroom to their left, "You know I can hear you guys out there right?"
"….."
"I know you're together, you idiots. I'm not stupid." There's a flush and the sound of Robin washing her hands before the door swings open and she continues, "Like what, you've been together since you got all horny when Eddie shoved a broken bottle to your neck?"
Steve sputters because, well, no…maybe. "I- I didn't-"
While Eddie teases, "Oh Stevie, you liked that did ya?"
And Robin continues, "Don't lie to me, you liked it. Just as much as Eddie liked seeing you all sweaty in his vest." (To which Eddie shrugs, because she's not wrong) "If I didn't know better I'd say you two were doing the dirty that night in the woods. But, I do know better and if I'm right, which I usually am, this whole thing started a few months ago and you're already grossly in love. God,-" she scoffs fondly, shaking her head, "-I bet you guys cry during sex. Disgusting. But adorable. Just be safe. Don't get Steve pregnant." She claps them on the shoulders with finality and sanuters past like the pair aren't standing there with mouths agape in shock.
And then the door to the break room swings shut and they're alone again.
Steve's still blushing, jaw hanging open while Eddie has obviously moved on by the way he's rucking up Steve's shirt and mouthing at his neck and he mumbles, "She's not wrong, you looked hot in my vest."

Immortal Vampire Eddie Munson (bittersweet)
Inspired by a Steddie post by @steviewashere where Eddie is an immortal vampire and Steve is just a normal regular guy. This pushed me out of my writer's block so THANK YOU!!
Find the hurt/no comfort version of this fic here!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve's there to help Eddie through every death, starting with Wayne and ending with El. Each one is as hard as the last. Every funeral, Eddie notices just a few more wrinkles on Steve's face: crows feet and laugh lines, the furrow between his eyebrows.
But as he continues on, and his loved ones leave him, he's always reminded he's not alone. Over the years, the Party's gotten bigger. Dustin and Suzie alone had 5 kids, plus Mike and El's twin girls, Nancy and Jonathan's son, Will and Gareth are working on another adoption. Eddie's family has grown larger than he could've imagined. He's going to have nieces and nephews through generations.
Their watchful protector, their Gandalf. But it still won't be Steve.
The Party are celebrating Robin's 38th birthday when Vickie pulls Eddie into the kitchen where Robin and Steve are waiting. They hand Eddie a printout. He doesn't know what he's looking at.
He understands what a sonogram is, but why is Steve the one giving it to him? Why is Robin crying? They're hugging him and everyone's crying except Eddie because he won't let himself believe what they're desperately trying to explain.
Steve knows he can't be with Eddie forever. He's always wanted to be a father, and who could ever be a better mother to his children than his soulmate. They had the doctor's appointment months ago. Vickie was practically bursting at the seams to tell Eddie, but the three decided to wait just to make sure. 
It hits him like a train.
Steve and Robin are having a baby. Steve and Robin and Vickie and... and a baby.
Because now it won't just be descendants of The Party. It'll be Birdie and Steve. His Stevie and their child and grandchildren and great grandchildren. The man he loves has given him the gift of life, his own piece of immortality. Now he'll never be alone, living through the ages surrounded by love.

post-canon trans!eddie wip
eddie wasn't there for the end of the world. Or the end of hawkins anyway.
He wakes weeks later, in a hospital bed several miles away. His uncle explains that henderson kid contacted him, let him know he was alive but barely.
"I didn't think you'd make it on the ride there," his uncle says, looking at his hands. "But we couldn't take you to anywhere nearby."
He trails off, lifting his eyes filled with apologies. Like he failed him along the way somehow.
'What're you sorry for?' eddie doesn't say. 'You're only the only one who stuck around.'
What he does ask is "What happened?" How much would they tell his uncle? How would they explain the shredded state of him?
Turns out, dustin used jason and his goons as the scapegoats this time.
So the universe does have a twisted sense of humor.
Not that jason was around to contradict them -- he apparently died in the "earthquake".
All that and they failed. Must have. What else could cause that much destruction?
His uncle's info gets shaky after that. He knows the army came in, for diaster relief. Then they lost media coverage.
"A week after the quake there was some sort of aftershock? It destroyed most of what was left standing."
eddie's mouth goes dry.
His fingers fidget with the rough texture of the dull blue hospital blanket, the texture distraction enough for the panic screaming at the back of his mind.
It sounds like bats.
"What, uh. What about the people there?"
His uncle sighs. "You care about those people?" There's bitterness in his tone but only a little. Mostly he looks sad. And proud?
A lots going on, eddie isn't sure if he's processing all this right.
"I guess you would," his uncle interrupts him from asking again.
"You're little friend visited a few days ago. Brought the Harrington boy with him, older, fancy hair?"
"Steve." The name tumbles from his mouth and with it a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Yeah. They told me most of the town was evacuated before it hit. Few causalities. All their friends and families made it out safe."
robin, nancy, the other kids -- they're all okay.
He nods along. Mutters to himself. "Good. Great. I knew they'd do it."
"Of course, this was after they asked about you."
eddie snaps back to attention, shifts in the bed.
"He— /They/ asked about me? What'd you tell them?"
"Why else would they come all this way?" his uncle counters, fussing for a second with the pillows behind him.
"When they came, the doctors said you'd be awake soon. But not soon enough for them." His uncle smirks. "They wanted to wait around until you did. The head nurse chased them out eventually.”
Yeah, that sounded like dustin. Hard convincing that kid to do anything. He was sure dustin pestered steve for a ride here, that's why he stuck around so long.
"I have a number from each of them," his uncle says rifling through his pockets.
"Asked me to call if there was any change. Or let you do it if you were well enough."
"Both of them?" eddie asks slowly, like he's trying the words on and finding they don't fit right.
"Yeah. That dustin kid was pretty insistent. 'Day or night' he said."
eddie laughs, in spite of his confusion, in needing to know what they both said.
"Yeah, he's like that."
"Steve, was it? He practically pushed the kid out the door and handed me his, asked me to just let him know when you were awake again."
eddie doesn't know what to say to that. He's all too aware of his uncle's eyes on him. Searching him.
He pulls a grin, gestures at his healing wounds. "Guess he doesn't wanna see his valiant rescue wasted."
"Hm."
The conversation ends there.
For all the fucking sleeping he's been doing lately, eddie tires pretty quickly. He's nodding off by the time his uncle leaves to talk with the doctor.
He drifts to sleep with the vague impression of arms carrying him. Two sets of voices coming from miles away.
One crying, begging him to hold on.
And the other...
Hang on, man, okay? We're back, we made it out. So you need to hang on. I didn't go through all this for you to die on me!
"Don't be upset."
Not the best thing to hear in a hospital.
eddie had just finished swallowing the last bit goblin shit that passes for food in this place. Apparently different textures are bad for recuperation. Or any texture.
His uncle gives him that great opening line as soon as he's in the door. He's sitting close, speaking low.
"The doctor's coming in now. She's gonna tell you a few things."
eddie taps his fork against the tray to the rhythm of the song he played on top of the trailer. It's been stuck in his head since he woke up.
He continues in silence, waiting, shoulders subtly tense. He can guess what this is about.
"I had to put you under the other name," his uncle says, as delicately as he can. He's looking sorry again and eddie hates it.
A lopsided grin splits his face. He taps faster at the tray yet responses casually, "A few weeks ago I was sure my time was up.
"I think I can handle it."
He kept that grin on his face when the doctor came in. It knocked her off balance a little but she recovered far too quickly. Returns it with a subdued one of her own.
"Miss Munson? Would you mind me calling you Samantha?"
'Actually, I'd prefer if you called me just about anything else.'
"Sam's good."
The doctor hummed meaningfully. She cast a glance at his uncle.
"Sam, there are some sensitive subjects I need to speak with you about. If you'd rather do that in private—"
His uncle didn't move in his chair but eddie sensed him shifting into protective mode.
"And I told you I wanted to be present for this. She's... She's just woken up, it might be too much."
He stumbles over the word like it's wrong coming out of his mouth. With the guilty hesitancy of a kid swearing in front of their parents for the first time.
It lightens the wound up feeling in eddie's shoulders.
"Mr. Munson." The doctor's short tone tells eddie this is a common argument between them.
"Your niece is of legal age. It isn't appropriate for me to discuss these things with you present. The only reason we did beforehand was because her unconscious state necessitated it."
His uncle readies himself for a fight. He's never been a big fan of doctors and Eddie can tell he's extra agitated by the situation. The muscles in his balled knuckles jumped at the word 'niece'.
He cared more about this bullshit than eddie did.
Avoiding a shouting match in the middle of a hospital, eddie cuts in. "Then it doesn't really matter if he sits in on this then."
The doctor clears her throat, gives him a pointed look he willfully pretends not to understand.
"Sam honey, I don't think you quite grasp the nature of what I need to discuss with you."
"Of course not, you haven't said anything yet."
The doctor glances from his uncle to eddie, recognizes her 'polite suggestions' are a waste of time, and surrenders.
Her motherly face drops, continuing in a more clinical vein.
"Very well." She put on the glasses dangling around her neck as she read his chart. It made her appear even more severe.
"The extent of the damage to your chest was significant. In closing the wounds, we had to remove much of the damaged tissue."
Something clicks in eddie's head.
Something he really should have noticed immediately but he was too busy celebrating still being alive and knowing his friends made it out too.
The general soreness that is now his chest distracted him from another feeling: lightness.
The bandages, he didn't think because of the bandages, it all seemed normal!
The doctor mistakes his pawing at his chest, the stunned expression on his face as devastation, her voice carrying a note of sympathy.
"Easy honey, you'll open your stitches."
eddie flops back on the bed, running both hands through his hair. He lets out a sharp sound.
"This isn't easy for one so young. But I can give you the number of a doctor who specializes in reconstructive surgery."
eddie doesn't pay attention to her. He purses his lips, fisting the hands in his hair, eyes dead ahead. It's taking all the scant bit of self control he has not to shout.
His uncle takes the number, ushers her out the door.
eddie catches the pitying look she shots him from the doorway but he honestly couldn't care less.
Once she's gone, he throws his hands into the air and crows. Bad idea. Intense pain blooms in his chest and he's curling into himself, wincing before dissolving into deranged giggles.
"Careful!" His uncle scolds. "She's right about one thing: you're going to pull those stitches if you don't settle down."
"Looks like. Saving the world isn't the only boon. I got out of all this," he gasps between laughter.
His uncle shoves a paper cup of water in his hand, shaking his head but not commenting on what he said. He's used to him not making sense.
eddie needs another dose of pain meds for all his antics. Worth it.
He helped vanquish vecna and lost his tits in the process!
eddie rides the high of his prize all day. The nurses label him a menace; pestering them about how long until he can get the bandages off. Pacing the wing once they release him from the IV.
It's hard staying still.
He bets they wish he was their quiet unconscious patient again.

I'm a tiny bit obsessed with the outside point of veiw
In specific corroded coffin seeing eddie after the break and being like what the fuck happened
It's so funny because these people have no visible point of connection
I just think there's alot of potential for corroded coffin to be people trusted by eddie to know he's gay and then finding out that Eddie has somehow started dating king Steve " the hair" hairington directly after he was 1. Accused of being a cult leader and murderer 2. Hunted by police 3. In a coma
And like they all dont trust Steve but they see that's Eddie's happy so they're all kind of just watching him and making quiet threats yet all the hellfire kids are 100% on board (if they know there is something to be said for Dustin continuously trying to set Eddie and Steve up on dates with girls that they keep dodging because they're dating each other but aren't ready to tell him that while the others who know are watching with thinly veiled amusement)
And then there's always Wayne as the outside pov which is always really good just he knows eddie and he wants him happy and safe and every time a fic has Wayne call Eddie his boy i cry its so loving and his uncle cares for him so much but also his metalgead son bringing home the preppeist boyfriend known to man who is showing up with flowers and makes sure he eats is funny to me.
Also the drama of Steve first showing up at anything with Eddie and his close freinds and family being ready to fight Steve for him because he was probably part of the man hunt and is here to hurt Eddie only for Eddie to then be excited to see him is so good

babe i am so sorry my well runneth dry so i am simply going to publish this so people can see your brilliance

New steve headcannon let's go!!
Okay I know how steve is shown reacting to pain however I'd like to bring the headcannon that steve has Congenital insensitivity to pain, aka steve cant feel any pain. After being diagnosed, his parents (who, lest be honest have neglected him since he was a kid instead choosing to throw money at their problems instead) hired a nanny to watch him and look after him till he was like 13, and make sure he was never too hurt. After a while though she quit but steve had learned by that point how to look after himself, plus he had the emergency number aswell as a few private numbers of the local hospital and its staff, as well as fortnightly visits for check ups, so he thought he would be okay!
He uses this factor of not being able to feel pain in tow with his protector complex (also know as protecting his dumbass kids + robbin who keep getting themselves in life threatening situations smh) so he can shield them knowing he wont feel the pain.
Also hed almost definitely try hiding it from everyone (especially the kids) since he knows its an incredibly dangerous condition and with all the fighting monsters, he doesnt want the others to know. He is, however, good at assessing his injuries himself, and probably very well known and comfortable with the hospital staff (bc hes smart enough to make sure hes looked at even if he doesnt feel anythings wrong). Plus hes can cover for it pretty well too, learning how to actually make it look like hes reacting to pain from a younger age to not freak people out.
Robin would be the first to find out. The two would be sitting in a hospital waiting room after everthing at starcort (steve and joyce definitely were the ones making sure everyone gets checked out after the fight + explosion)
The two not really wanting to split up after everything with the Russians so robin stays by steve as they wait for him to get looked at, (dustin and erica both with their familys now). When a familiar nurse walks in and the moment she sees steve she just gasps "Steve Harrington!? What on earth has happened to you, this is SERIOUS young man. I gave you a pass last time, but with your condition, stunts like this could have you killed if you dont arrive here fast enough! Dont you realise your life expectancy is barely 25 without all these fights!?" And she just keeps fussing over him doing a thorough check up on him.
And robin is just like "uh um what the fuck is she talking about!? Why will you die and 25 steve?!?!?" Only for steve to turn away from her and say "I didn't want you or the kids to worry... robbie... i cant feel pain rob. Everything back at the mall? It didnt hurt me, it could never hurt me because I have CIPA. it's why I put myself in front of the kids when they're in danger, because I know I will be able to take any pain. I didnt want you to get worried."
After a long lecture and being checked up to the point where the nurse is happy for him to leave as long as someone monitors him for his concussion (robin immediately volunteered). From then on people wonder why shes so protective of him (and him her) they only tell that they know each others biggest secrets and that makes them closer than just freinds.
Obviously (most likely during/ after season 4, just without eddie dieing) everyone else starts to find out. First the upside down gang after steve is attacked by the demobats and steve has to calm Robin down because she starts panicking that they wont be able to get to a doctor in time. (Let's just say Nancy and Eddie were not very happy hed been risking his life on a whole other scale than the rest of them)
Then the kids, dustin first after he watches steve collapse soon after getting them all to hospital (dustin definitely cryed alot thinking of all the ways hed watched Steve getting hurt and didnt do anything). Then Lucas and Erica after they meet back up after they stayed with max. Then the rest as they slowly all murged into one group again. Joyce and Hopper were shocked, the old cop demanding to be notified by the hospital if they ever found themselves in the teens company again so he and joyce can look after him.
Steve later ends up with an emergency call list that takes up an entire page since all the kids parents + Eddie, Nancy, Jonathan and Wayne Munson (robin already being on it since starcourt) desire that they have adopted steve and choose this is a helpful way to look out for him!
I really want to write a fic with this idea tbh it would be really fun. Especially if I pair it with my eddie has chronic pain/ fibromyalgia hc bc like its quite literally the opposite condition (and the one I have) so it would cause for an intresting interaction xD
Anyway take my sleep deprived headcannons and go lol
