Summary
Had someone told Billy that he would fight monsters and bond with a bunch of kids one day, he would have laughed in their faces.
And had someone told him that he would fall head over heels for their doe eyed babysitter, he would have knocked their teeth out.
But here he was.
By accident.

Summary
“Let’s get this over with.” Steve mutters, setting his shoulders and planting his feet.
Out of the corner of his eye, Gareth can see that Wayne is watching their standoff with a calculating expression.
“We’re airing this out and moving on. And we are going to do it before Eddie gets home.” Harrington states with a finality that sets Gareth’s teeth grinding. As if Steve is the one who’s more concerned about their friend’s feelings than Gareth is at this point.Or
Gareth has had just about enough of Steve Harrington in the fall of '86. He sets about to do something about it. It takes an angry mob, a Corroded Coffin gig and a baseball bat full of nails for him to change his mind.
Gareth gets mad, Eddie gets beat up, Steve gets violent and Wayne is just really tired of everyone's shit.

Summary
Steve Harrington was a self-absorbed, vapid asshole. So why the hell was Robin still obsessed with watching him when there was nothing interesting about him?
Right?
Or: if Steve and Eddie had become friends (and other things) before season three, and Robin watches through her own lens of hating the former jock while recognizing something changed and familiar about him.
Or the ultimate summary: S3 from Robin's POV, including Steddie.

Summary
"Steve didn’t know where the courage came from. He was being reckless and stupid. Sure he had played out this fantasy over and over in his head, but that was from the safety of his bedroom. He never dared to actually act on it. But here he was, walking down the street, midday looking like this."

Summary
“What’s under your arm?” An unknown guy with a truly offensive haircut pointed to the thing Steve held tucked against his side. Steve barely kept a grin from splitting his face as he drew out the long, thin black box and set it on his lap.
He’d been waiting for this moment. For someone to ask, for someone to open the gate. He smirked and ran a hand through his hair – the hair – and said: “It’s a Ouija board.”
It's Halloween 1985, and Steve Harrington is determined to bring Billy back... No matter what the cost.
