Summary
Sure, they've saved the world, but the best part of that really is that it doesn't end there and in a town where everyone thinks he murdered a girl, he's at least got Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley. It's really not his fault he accidentally starts living at Steve's house, he was invited, after all. There's a mystery too, about Barbara Holland and Steve's pool.
“Your boner is digging into me,” says Robin, and Steve snorts a tired sort of laugh.
“I don’t have a —”
“You do, I can feel it. Gross.”
“Okay, but it’s only a little one,” he says in a small voice which sounds like he’s impersonating someone.
“Are you ever going to let that go? I peed a little bit when the Russians got the torture devices out, okay?” She sounds amused, though.
Eddie jolts. “Russian torture devices?”
Robin carries on like she didn’t hear him but Steve catches his eye and he’s grinning. “How do you even have a boner dude? You were definitely having a nightmare I know your twitching means a nightmare… Did you have a boner over Vecna?”

four puffs of farrah fawcett spray (and a mouthful of UD pollen) by oaseas for steveharringtoned
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
Steve cops a faceful of Upside Down flower pollen in the tunnels, hours after Billy Hargrove tries to punch Steve's brain out the back of his head. Beyond the general hubbub of UD bullshit, Steve thinks he's made it out pretty much unscathed.
Months later, he makes a discovery. Turns out, he's much more intact than he'd thought. As in, his skin is baby smooth. Even the scar on his knee from his ill-advised ‘77 summer of skateboarding has disappeared.
OR: Steve Harrington can take a hit. He can take many hits. In fact, thanks to the Upside Down, there isn't a hit Steve can't take.

without a flashlight in the dark by jurassicqueer (kukurosaki)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
06 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
The lights go out. Steve keeps his eyes fixed just left of the thing, can just barely make out a shoulder and sort-of head in the light of the moon, and tries to swallow back the sickening feeling of being hunted. He wants to run for his house but he can’t. He can’t, because if he takes his eyes off the thing for even a second, he won’t know where it is, and that’s scarier than seeing it.
But then- then Steve’s vision blurs for just a moment too long, and when he blinks away the tears and looks, it’s gone.
Steve lunges for the house doors. When the patio lights flicker back on, the poolside is empty, and Steve Harrington is missing. No one notices.
Or: Steve Harrington gets dragged into the Upside Down instead of Barb Holland. Someone else comes out.Series

Summary
Soul flowers aren’t a ticket to true love, he knows that well enough, but they do mean importance, significance, permanence. And so far no one has ever loved Steve significantly or permanently enough to leave some. Maybe that means he’s broken. Maybe that’s why he can’t leave any for her.
So Steve lets Jonathan take Nancy home that night, and tries not to feel too bitter about the matching bracelet of roses on Jonathan’s hand.

A Pretty Damn Good Babysitter by IncompleteSentanc (Erava)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
29 May 2018
Tags
Summary
Steve ends up in Barb’s place in the Upside Down, and grows up a lot faster than he would have. Between dodging Demogorgons and vines that had far too much sentience, and trying to buy time for Will to use his magic and his mothers insanity to get them the hell out of there, he comes to a realization much quicker than he otherwise would have.
Steve Harrington might be an idiot, but it turns out he’s a pretty damn good babysitter.

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

do you feel the thud when i fall? do you hear the crack when i break? by millcrs (remoose)
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Feb 2020

Summary
Any time he returned to mom, she was loose and laughing and had that smell again. One time she sloshed red wine onto his white trainers and laughed about it even though he was seconds from bursting into tears.
This time, though -- the last time he truly asked his father for anything -- she looked at him from her position on Mrs Diver's chaise-longue and allowed her face to soften in sympathy at his puffy bottom lip and half-formed tears. She pulled him into her lap, all silks and furs and wine on her breath and said:
"You walk around the world like you've got a layer of skin missing, Stevie. Like everything hurts you that bit more."
Steve doesn't remember much after that, figuring he fell asleep. But he wonders if that's how El feels; walking around this world that has taken so much from her -- that had given her so little in the first place. At least Steve has a mom, even if she is perpetually intoxicated. At least he has a dad, even if that dad hates him.
El had Hopper, and the Russians took him from her. From them. The Russians murdered him and god, Steve wishes it had been him instead.

Summary
Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.
But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.
That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

Summary
To be honest, Steve's not handling things that well. Maybe he's a little jumpy, and maybe he hasn't slept well in a few weeks, but that's his own business. Nobody else's.
