    Summary

    After failing his fifth year twice, Eddie is ready to buckle down and have just one, relatively normal year at Hawkins’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    But then famous professional Quidditch player, Durmstrang golden-boy Steve Harrington just has to enter the Triwizard Tournament.

    (And Eddie can’t be one-upped by him and his flouncy hair—no way. Not when Dustin’s respect is on the line.)

    But maybe he’ll finally prove to Gryffindor House that he belongs there after all.

    Summary

    "How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.

    Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.

    "Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.

    -

    Steve teaches Eddie how to swim, and confronts a few things about himself in the process.

    Summary

    The van is running, Steve realizes, and Eddie wouldn’t start it if he was just coming out to smoke. It sobers him up almost immediately. “You leaving?”

    Eddie gives him a smile, sad around the edges where it reaches his eyes, says, “Yeah,” and Steve knows he doesn’t just mean for tonight.

    Summary

    At this point, Eddie’s life had really just sort of become an Aristotelian confluence of events.

    Or: Steve has a migraine; Eddie helps him out.

    Summary

    “I think I’m stuck.”

    Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.

    “Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.

    “I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”

    Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”

    “What do you want to do?”

    “You’re gonna laugh.”

    “You planning on becoming a comedian?”

    “Eds.”

    “Stevie.”

     

    Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.
