Seventeen-year-old Edgar "Eddie" Benjamin is uprooted from his normal life and sent to his grandmother's house for his own safety, but what he doesn't know is that he now lives in the scopes of something darker. He tries to adjust as best he can, but something is off about the way his peers, or rather, everyone in this town, treats him. He chalks it up to homophobia-small towns are not the place for young gay men-but he soon finds that his sexuality has nothing to do with it. The real reason he feels so ostracized is a dark town secret he couldn't imagine until he experienced it.

We're set in the 80's so clearly the internet isn't really a thing yet and Eddie Munson can't figure out why his mind sometimes goes blank and he feels young. He thinks it's wrong and just another way of god to punish him for being who he is. But then, a guy he barely knew apart from occasional bullying takes him in, and Eddie finally figures out what being loved feels like. // or, this writer craves little eddie content and steddie is his OTP so here we have little!eddie and cg!steve this contains age regression, which is an sfw coping mechanism. if you don't want to read about it, don't leave hate, just leave the book and me be. warnings!! - traumatic events (like, it's still stranger things) - period typical homophobia - use of curse words, mature themes (drvgs, mvrder, childhood abvse, etc) mostly off plot fluff, but events from season 4 still happenComplete

Second (History Plays, Book 1)
Rose and Swan Boarding School's social heirarchy is disrupted with the arrival of a new student who catches the eye of the star of the hockey team. Can Edward and Gaveston keep their relationship a secret from the malicious student body and faculty? Definitely not. Rose and Swan is a highly religious boarding school nestled deep in the mountains. It's the perfect place to hide, but Edward is about to find out you can't hide from yourself. He had no problem hiding his sexuality, not until Piers Gaveston, his new roommate, shows up. Based loosely on Kit Marlowe's play 'Edward II'. Feels like a teen rom-com. I wrote this as the book I wished I'd had as a teenager, that is to say I wanted it to be a sort of comforting, relatable world, as well as genuinely fun. That said it does follow the basic plot of the play so there are some unsettling scenes. Namely Chapters: 15, and 23 on. (If you think the cover is too gay I assure you it's what Marlowe would have wanted. If you think the book is too gay I PROMISE you, it's what Marlowe would have wanted). Trigger/Content Warning: some graphic violence that may be disturbing to some readers (chapters 21--on, Epilogue is fine). Some teenage sexuality (teenagers kiss, it is implied teenagers have sex, chapter 19 primarily, but all scenes are PG-13 level sensuality). Brief teenage level crude humor. Self harm is discussed throughout (worst depiction in chapter 14). Conversion therapy discussed at length and briefly depicted (Chapter 15). A character suffers from gender dyphoria and is dead-named on page (chapter 20). Graphic violence/torture after Chapter 21. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed.Complete

Lovers lake - Eddie Munson X trans masc reader
It is 7 AM in the morning and Steve Harrington is currently shaking his younger brother Y/N awake. "come on Y/N wake up, you cant be late" Steve says while waking his brother. Y/N opens his eyes slowly, clearly annoyed at his brother. He sits up in his bed and rubs his eyes and looks at Steve with tired, irritated eyes. "No, Y/N you are going to school today. No more skipping." Steve says and walks out of his room. "I'll wait for you outside in the car." This is a Eddie Munson X Y/N story that takes place during stranger things season 4 This story has violence, sexuality and strong language, do not read if you are uncomfortable by these things. I know that Stranger things takes place during the 80s and that it wasn't very LGBTQ+ friendly during that time and that being trans wasn't as easy as it is today (as a trans man myself I am well aware that it still isn't easy at all but compared to the 80s it is easier) so I am sorry if it isn't super realistic, but the story is stranger things based either way so it cant really be realistic anyway.Complete
Angel's End / reddie ghost au
Eddie Kaspbrak swears he keeps seeing things, hearing things, things he cannot explain without sounding crazy. He believes he is being haunted. Haunted by a ghost that calls himself Richie Tozier. Eddie must be crazy, everyone thinks so... but in a world where all Eddie is is ignored maybe a friend could do him some good. Even if that friend happens to be dead. A story in which a boy falls in love with his ghost. Illustrations by myself (@doubleawrites) x (Disclaimer: clearly this story is going to talk about topics like death and grief so if you are sensitive to those topics this may not be the book for you. However, I won't venture beyond any distasteful limits and will keep it rather mild :) )Complete
