Eddie didn't experience an easter egg hunt until Wayne.

That first year Eddie had lived with Wayne had been a whirlwind of emotions. Eddie had been lost and scared, not trusting Wayne and too on edge to get comfortable. He'd bounced back and forth between being quiet and making himself small to yelling at Wayne to try and get a reaction. Eddie doesn't like thinking about that year, but the good parts stick out from the bad. The parts when Wayne tried his best to make the curveball that was little Eddie happy.

He remembers his first Easter with Wayne. The awkward gruff way Wayne had called Eddie out of his room and told him to start looking. How confused Eddie was until he moved a cushion and found a bright blue plastic egg. He doesn't remember how he reacted, but that was one of the first moments Eddie truly considered that Wayne might care for him.

They'd continued the tradition. Wayne would (very poorly) hide plastic eggs around the trailer, always filled with whatever candy happened to be Eddie's favourite at the time. Eddie would go looking for them, usually putting on a show of not being able to find any at first, just to get that amused smile out of his uncle. He'd gather them all up in a bowl that would sit on the kitchen bench, slowly being cracked open over the following days.

One year, Eddie picked up an egg only to notice that the weight was off. All the eggs usually felt just as heavy as each other, but that one was way lighter. He'd looked to his uncle, who shrugged. So Eddie opened it. Inside were a handful of guitar picks in various colours, but there was one in particular that stood out. It was a red and black celluloid pick, the colours and pattern similar to his sweetheart he'd bought only months earlier. Eddie had taken one look at Wayne's face and laughed himself at the man, hugging him tight.

The pick still lives on the chain around his neck.

Part 2 (kinda)

THE BALLAD OF EDDIE MUNSON’S BATTLE VEST

by @hawkinsleather

"Go on," Wayne nods, urging him to close the blades and make his first cut. He does it slowly and nervously. The scissors are sharp and cut into the thick fabric like a hot knife into butter. He's more confident with the next cut and soon enough he's cut all the way round back to where they started. He admires his work. It's not perfect, there's tiny scraps of the sleeve still hanging off, probably from the places where he had to open the heavy scissors for the next cut.

"Good job, Eddie," Wayne says.

my fourth and final piece for the @strangerthingsreversebigbang! loved working on something centered on wayne nurturing eddie. be sure to check out the fic!

Have you ever stood in the middle of your room feeling off somehow but not knowing what's wrong or why you're feeling strange? And you can't even explain it to yourself?

In those instances, Eddie does his best to help you, because he knows you just as well as you do, but sometimes he knows you don't need him.

You need his dad.

Eddie never takes offense. He gets it. He just gives you a wry smile, chocolate button eyes glassy with tears of worry for you, and walks with you through the trailer and into the living room where his dad is sat watching television. Killing time until his shift.

It's a familiar routine for the three of you and that's why you refer to Eddie's Uncle as being somewhat like a doctor to you. Because if you can't figure yourself out, then Uncle Wayne can with a long, good look at you.

"When's the last time you ate, darlin'?"

"I ain't seen you drink water for a few, sweetpea. Might wanna get on that."

"Don't 'spose you've seen my favourite film 'round here, have you?" And he'll list off one or two of your favourites, giving Eddie a pointed look towards the VHS stack in the corner, tucked behind the TV.

Sometimes, it's not as simple as needing a comfort film or some physical self care. Sometimes, you just feel wrong. For no real reason or rhyme, and that's okay. The Munsons understand that too.

In those more complex cases, Uncle Wayne will tease Eddie, dropping hints.

"You been neglecting cuddles, Eddie? Ain't like you to not be clingin' to someone."

"You kids gonna sit down? Plenty of space here." And he'll shuffle over so you can sit beside him, and Eddie on your other side. You can hug either or both or not touch at all; no offense will be taken, understanding and love will be given, and they'll support you no matter what.

There's a saying in the Munson household for good reason: "if in doubt, ask Uncle Wayne" 🥺🙏💖

eddie goes into witness protection and not even his friends are allowed to know he‘s still alive, only wayne knows.

wayne watches as all of these kids he didn‘t even previously know surge into his life and help him with the trailer, the (fake) funeral, and he notices how much all of them care, but he‘s most surprised by steve.

steve who wayne didn‘t even know before eddie „died“, steve who cries at eddie‘s funeral. steve who he only knew as hawkins high‘s „king“, someone eddie would never have hung out with in a thousand years if it wasn‘t for the upside down. steve who helps wayne repair the trailer, asks questions about eddie‘s past that no one had ever cared enough to ask before.

steve who now meets up with wayne weekly for dinner, listening intently to stories about eddie. steve who tells wayne that eddie awakened feelings in him that steve himself didn‘t know he could feel, even if he‘d only known him for a little while. steve who wayne wishes he could tell eddie‘s still alive.

and then steve tries to move on and wayne has to encourage him. he marries a woman his parents set him up with. he feels bad, she‘s nice, kind hearted, but everytime he looks at her brown eyes he notices he‘s trying to find eddie in them. he can‘t let him go for some reason. it nearly kills him a few times.

then eddie comes back after a few years when he gets tired of being stuck in witness protection. steve‘s split from his wife. steve wastes not one second making up for lost time. doesn‘t want to lose one moment to being mad at eddie or wayne for lying to them, because what choice did they have? they had all the time in the world now.

wayne cries when he sees his two sons finally reunited. and this time around, steve gets married to the right person, he‘s sure of it.

Modern!eddie would get in Wayne’s truck and be like “I’m in me pa’s car. Vroom vroom”

And wayne comes out the house yelling “get the hell up outta my truck boy unless you have some vroom vroom money!”

😭😭😭😭

Post-Starcourt Steve and Robin needing to get the hell out of the mall parking lot and being like, “I have this friend. He’s close.”

Cut to Eddie standing at his bedroom door, holding his guitar like an axe because he’s pretty sure someone just broke into his house and is going to murder him. When he busts out the door holding a lamp above his head (didn’t want to break his guitar), he nearly bludgeons a couple of puke covered ice cream sailors.

After they all stop screaming, Steve looks at the lamp and nudges it like, “Lighten up, man.”

Eddie: What are you doing here?

Steve: Relax, my friend lives here.

Eddie: I live here

Steve: Are you my friend? No??? Then I’m talking about someone else. Duh. *makes a gesture to Robin like ‘this guy.’*

Robin, making the same gesture back: We are going to sleep on your couch.

Eddie: …Are you guys high?

Steve & Robin, after considerable thought: A little.

[sabbathbloodysabbeth]

Just waiter Steve who’s in tiny black shorts because Robin didn’t like how the pair she was assigned fit. So they swapped, Robin with the baggier basketball shorts and Steve with the short but reasonable pair. Both of them have ties and a button down, and some days even wear sunglasses for the bit.

Though one day while on the clock, Rockstar Eddie comes in. High off his ass. Comes off as a dick, so Steve and Robin double team him. One of them “accidently” trips the other into dumping soup all over him. Then when the other is trying to clean it up, the other is purposely charging Eddie for the soup (it’s not like he’ll notice) and the older gentleman who comes here every day gets a free meal.

Turns out the older man that comes in there every day is Wayne and he’s now sitting across from a soup covered Eddie laughing his ass off because he knows how the wonder twins work when a customer is an asshole. (It’s not the first time he’s received a free meal from them)

[humanityinahandbag]

In my mind, Robin has to tag along on most of Steve's hangouts with Eddie. Eddie thinks it's a SteveandRobin thing but really it's because she's the only line of defense between Eddie and Steve.

She just keeps telling Eddie that he should be grateful. He doesn't get it but whatever.

The actual problem?

If Eddie does anything in the vicinity of Steve that's funny or sweet or, even more dangerous, is really nice and attentive to any random child, Steve suddenly gets a look in his eye that means Casual Hangs Can Include a Marriage License, Right?

On Halloween, helping Steve give out candy, Eddie made a little girls night when he saw she was dressed as a princess and actually bowed and once she and her dad were gone Steve put down the bowl and casually said, "After this we need to swing by City Hall real quick."

Thankfully Robin was there to spray him with a water bottle and throw a full sized Milky Way at his head.

Meanwhile Eddie's standing in the background confused as hell wondering why Steve keeps suggesting bureaucracy as a fun activity and why Robin and Steve are whisper-yelling at once another in the kitchen like it's not even legal and you haven't even asked him out yet! and I'm wooing him, Robin, where's your sense of romance? When you know you know! Did you see how he is with kids? And that's quitter talk honestly Robin, I'll break City Hall's doors down and you can sign the papers it can't be that hard.

Reading so many tumblr fics has completely ruined me from ever reading a Wattpad story that ain’t in 2nd person POV😭😭

[ghosttownwherenoonegoes]

I wanna write another Uncle Wayne comfort fic (Eddie x reader ft. Uncle Wayne being the bestest dad in all of Indiana) buuuut I don’t wanna write for me because that’s all I ever do soooooo if you have any requests for Eddie x reader or for Munson family content, please send in to my inbox! I have Saturday off and it’ll be an intense study day so I’ll need good things in my inbox to entertain me on my breaks!🙏❤️
