Summary
It's 1985 and in the quiet months before Hawkins starts to burn again, Mary-Elizabeth MacKinley is already unraveling. She's graduating this year. Vinyl Frontier is relocating. Eddie’s leaving for Indianapolis. Her mom is seeing someone new. Babysitting Dustin is about to be a thing of the past. And the future—whatever that even means for a girl like her—is coming fast. To make things more confusing, somewhere in the middle of it all, Steve Harrington keeps showing up with dumb jokes, soft eyes, and a patience she doesn’t know what to do with.
Then Starcourt Mall opens. Neon lights, minimum wage, and new friendships start pulling everyone back together. But beneath the food court and escalators, something ugly is waking up. Something that makes all the other battles they've fought look harmless. Something that makes the change of growing up feel like the least of Mac's problems.
***Please read my Season 1 & 2 rewrites 'Distorted Paths' and 'Residual Shadows' first to get the full story!***
THIS IS SET DURING SEASON THREE! EACH SEASON WILL HAVE A SEPERATE FIC IN THIS SERIES! <3

How to Pretend You’re Not in Love with Your Best Friend (and Fail Miserably) by Yellove_8
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
07 Oct 2025

Summary
Eddie Munson had lived through monsters before — real ones, with teeth and claws and a taste for blood. What he hadn’t prepared for was this: the way Steve Harrington kept pulling him into late-night conversations and half-lit car rides, like Eddie was supposed to know what to do with a heart that never stopped bruising.
It was supposed to be nothing. A slip, a laugh, a kiss that didn’t mean anything. Except Steve kept coming back, and Eddie kept letting him. Indiana still spat the same slurs, the newspapers still screamed about a plague in cities far away, and Eddie still knew better than to hope.
But hope had a habit of sneaking in anyway... tucked in the way Steve looked at him when he thought nobody else was watching.
—
Or: Eddie survived bats, Vecna, and Hawkins. What finally killed him was Steve “definitely straight, except when he isn’t” Harrington and his goddamn smile.

Summary
Eddie Munson never thought his half-scribbled cocktail menus and doodles of neon-lit bars would amount to anything more than pipe-dreams shoved in the back of his closet. Then Steve Harrington with his sharp suits and sharper smile comes into his life with an offer Eddie can't refuse.
There's just one problem.
Eddie knows more about Steve than he could ever let on with the two of them spending endless hours speaking to each other anonymously on a gay hookup app.
OR: Steve wants to be Eddie's business partner to help him bring his dream restaurant to life and Eddie has to grapple with the web of lies he's created for himself by not telling Steve it's actually him he's speaking to on Grindr

Summary
Steve looks down at his hands, which are shaking violently. His room is dark, and the silence is overbearing. The smell of blood fills his nostrils, even though there’s no blood anywhere. Only in his head, and now on his hands as he watches them. Screeching outside of his windows has him flinching away. Wings beat against the window, and Steve knows it’s not real. He does, but it also is. And his heart is beating out of his chest, his skin clammy.
Everything is red, just like the sky, a sky full of bats. And they’re tearing off his skin, biting into his side. He drops into the corner, arms over his head. He’s quivering, trying stop, but his head is spinning now. Everything blurs together, and then Steve wakes up face down on his carpeted floor. It’s hard to breathe like this, and his whole body hurts. He pushes himself up on shaking arms, tears dripping down his face. It’s light outside now, birds chirping, meaning he’s been out for at least six hours.

Summary
They didn’t return last night.
That’s never happened before.
It was the first rule they made when they moved to the lab. No one goes out at night. The creatures of the Upside Down are far more active during the night.
They’ve been out there for twenty eight hours and thirteen minutes. Robin’s barely slept. The same’s true for most of the others, she knows.

Summary
Bien sûr qu'il se sentait comme un idiot.Il ne pouvait pas ne pas se sentir stupide devant l'emprise fatale qu'a la vue de Steve Harrington dans ce maudit uniforme de marin sur son âme.
Et son érection, mais c'était un sujet à éviter dans la bonne société.
Il se sentait aussi comme un raté parce que malgré tout le temps qu'il avait passé à rester assis sur ce banc qui faisait face au Scoops Ahoy, il n'avait pas eu le courage d'y entrer.Il était le taré de service.
Pas débile.OU
Eddie prend un risque inconsidéré au Starcourt.
Et cela porte ses fruits.

Summary
Steve Harrington had always been one to jump in the middle of the action to protect his kids--even if that meant putting his life on the line. Even if that meant being the sacrifice, left to barricade a door by himself against a literal army of Russians.
He had called to Robin--hoping for one fleeting moment that she would help him. Hoping that for once, he wouldn't be completely alone.
But she left. She left him all alone to hold the door.
This was fine. He was fine. He could survive this... right?
----
Or, what would happen if instead of helping Steve hold the door closed and getting caught by the Russians together, Robin ran and left Steve all alone? -

Summary
"Steve lay awake that night. He couldn’t stop his thoughts spiralling. He couldn’t stop blaming himself for everything happening. If he hadn’t got high, if he hadn’t confessed, if he hadn’t tried to kiss Eddie, if he hadn’t ran, if he hadn’t told Robin. Everything could be traced back to him and that made Steve feel sick. So overwhelmed with guilt his chest felt heavy, his heart felt clenched. Like someone was reaching into his chest and squeezing as hard as they could. Before he knew it there was birds chirping outside and the faint glow of sunrise. He hadn’t slept at all."
