  TagsSummaryIt takes some new additions to the party for the gang to realize that something has been off with Steve for quite a while now. They help him together and, in doing so, strengthen themselves as a family. Steve lets himself be cared for, remembers important people from his past, and finally allows himself to move on in some of the ways he never thought he could. - Language:

Pick up the Phone by Red (Red_Balloons)Fandom: Stranger Things (TV 2016), The Black Phone (2022), The Black Phone (Movies - Derrickson)15 Sep 2025 SummaryFinney Blake = Steve Harrington, but I start with pre-ST canon events to properly weave in how Finn took over the character 'Steve'. And I don't follow canon all too closely, allowing Finn's presence in the story to alter everything as it wants to change. - Words:

 And time said yes.

  Somebody hurt you (but you're here, by my side) by staygentleFandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)23 May 2023 TagsSummaryHe’d been through hell and back with Robin. Literal, actual hell, dragging each other out of it and back to the light, again and again, years ago, and over and over when the nightmares took them back there again. Also, all the stupid, human hell people put each other through. People they loved, suffering. People who were supposed to love them, not loving them enough. Max called them codependent; Joyce once described them as “sleeping like cats,” curled up on her couch on one of those endless nights the summer after the Hopper-Byers clan moved back to Hawkins. They were right, he knew they were, and he didn’t care. He just cared about his people. He just wanted them to be okay. Robin wasn’t okay. He could feel it.

  TagsSummaryRobin Buckley wasn't prepared for Steve to crash, but he had been pushing his limits for too long. He had a plan, but he never thought to tell her. He didn't want to worry her. Too bad she'll always worry about him... Especially when he collapses at work.
