Summary
Hopper has had his fair share of inconveniences and injuries in the last twenty-four hours, but the state of the Harrington boy looks like the aftermath of a horror movie. His face is black, red, and blue. His clothes are stained with blood and grime, and there is all sorts of sticky, Upside Down looking gunk clinging to him from head to toe. Whatever the hell happened to him, he probably needs to be decontaminated.
OR
Steve gets beaten half to death, helps save the world anyway, and insists he's doing just fine, actually.

lost in the woods ( oh so alone ) by FlowersBloomAgain

Summary
Seven doesn't know what makes him do it, or why he heads in the direction he does, towards the door, but his feet take him there anyway. The draft of the wind as he skitters down the hallway is cold on his buzzed head.
He makes his way down the maze of hallways to the end of the corridor he's never been to before. The door leads down to a dark room filled with pipes and things. Seven shutters at the darkness. It reminds him of the bad place he gets sent into. It also reminds him of the bathtub.
Something is very wrong. Seven knows this. He doesn't have time to dwell on how scared he is, he must keep going.
But going where? And doing what?
OR
Something is wrong at the lab, and Experiment Number Seven decides it's time to leave.
He just doesn't know where he's going.

Summary
He knows enough to understand what that means.
He's too cold. Probably getting way too cold.He should probably do a lot of things.
-
Eddie almost doesn't see him. At first, he's just another dark shape against the white, sitting off to the side of the road. Eddie nearly drives past before the headlights catch on what looks like a snow-covered teenager.
He should probably keep going. It's not his problem, and stopping in the middle of a snowstorm to investigate some random person sitting beside the road sounds like exactly the kind of thing that gets him into trouble.
OR
Steve Harrington leaves the house in the middle of one of Hawkins coldest nights with barely enough clothing to keep himself warm, and none other than Eddie Munson finds him sitting alone in the snow.

Summary
He was the one who decided they were better off without him. He knew what could happen if the wrong person connected Peter Parker to Spider-Man. He knew what it could cost them.
So he made the choice and he stayed behind. He stayed behind so that Ned and MJ could move forward. Be regular college kids not tied to controversial vigilantism. Get a shared apartment where they have stupid parties and take stupid pictures that Peter has to watch through a stupid screen because he isn't anyone to them anymore.
OR
Peter doesn't want to die, not really. But sometimes he's jealous of the version of himself who died before he found out the cost of living.

Summary
Eddie would be lying if he said it didn't infuriate him when he started seeing Steve 'the hair' Harrington start frequenting the trailer park. What kind of nickname is that anyway? It's like an insolent designed a character and couldn't think of anything of importance besides a haircut.
He supposes it's only fitting for a guy like Harrington. Eddie is unfortunately familiar with the type. Dumb jock himbo who is decent at throwing around a stupid ball and so now everyone falls to his feet like he's made of gold. People legit treat him like royalty.
OR
Steve has been frequenting the trailer park ever since some preteen moved in, and Eddie is not a fan. But what is he to do when she comes to him for help when Steve gets hurt?
