    Summary

    “Hey so … I have some mixed news,” Steve says.

    “Uh oh,” Eddie says, “are they changing your position, are you gonna be a — like a third base catcher man?”

    Steve laughs and shakes his head, “no, nothing that bad - I found out more about the whole like, bringing a person along thing.”

    “Oh cool,” Eddie says, sliding down on the couch next to him, “do I get like a fancy VIP pass?”

    “You do,” Steve says, “there’s just one catch.”

    “Okay?” Eddie asks, tilting his head and reaching for the tv remote.

    “Apparently they usually reserve the box for the wives and girlfriends … so either you’re gonna have to be my boyfriend or you’re going to have to sit in the stands with the fans.”

    Eddie makes a noise that must register to Steve as alarmed or upset because he rushes to finish.

    “It’s not that bad, you just need to like, pretend to be my boyfriend so you can sit with the other WAGs and like, then you can be in the box and have all you can drink alcohol and snacks.”

    “Did you agree to this!?” Eddie asks.

    “If I say yes, how mad are you going to be?” Steve asks.

    Summary

    Steve may be a male omega; he may have been divorced at twenty-five, with nothing to show for his years but most of a sociology degree with a minor in sports broadcasting, of all things, but at least he’s bilingual—and well connected—which is how he finds himself replacing Mrs. Fisher as the shiny new Spanish teacher of Hawkins High School.

    Frankly, he thinks everything would've been fine if Eddie Munson hadn't shown up. At least he gets to plan the class trip. Europe, here come the Wildcats.

    Summary

    “Eddie? What date is it?”
    “I don’t know, I don’t know how long I’ve been out. March… 30? April 1st? Oh. Oh is it… is it April Fools? Cause it’s a shitty joke, Mayfield.”
    “What year is it Eddie?”
    He smiles at that, chuckles at the irony even though Max looks more and more upset, “It’s 1986, baby, my year.”

    *~*~*~*

    The year is 2003 and Eddie Munson has missed a couple of things.

    Summary

    “Are you okay?” Eddie asks again, words drawn out to make sure Steve understands his question, but not like he’s stupid. Gentle understanding suffuses each word.

    “Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

    “Not what I asked.” Eddie steps closer, and Steve turns again, putting his back to the door. They stand next to each other, arms just inches from touching, and Steve exhales harshly. On his next inhale he catches the scent of leather and roses, covered over with cheap soap and cigarette smoke. “Do you wanna talk about it?” Eddie asks.

    “Not really…” Talking about it is the last thing Steve wants, but he also wants to keep standing in Eddie’s space and sharing his air.

    --

    Being an omega changes the entire trajectory of what the Harrington’s expect for their son, Steve. Then interdimensional monsters change the trajectory of Steve’s own expectations, thrusting him into a confusing world of caring friends, pack pups, and government coverups.

    And a chance encounter at a party following the world’s most embarrassing drunken fight, puts him on an entirely new path towards an alpha he never would have seen otherwise.

    Summary

    “Still not graduated, Harrington?”
     
    It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
     
    “I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
     
    or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.
