  Summary

  Steve was a protector, first and foremost—he’d do whatever it took to protect the party, regardless of whether or not it was fair he was the one responsible for a bunch of kids when he was seventeen.

  What happens when all that results in one too many hits to the head, and more concussions than the brain can safely endure?

  Or, in which Steve protects, is tired, under appreciated, and far too caring to not carry responsibility and blame.
