Summary
Steve Harrington just wanted to go for a drive the night of November 6, 1983.
Just a drive.
He didn't expect to stumble across Will Byers running alone in the woods, let alone an inter-dimensional flower faced monster out for blood.
He definitely didn't expect to be dragged into something so much bigger than him that would flip his life upside down forever.

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.

Summary
But maybe Steve’s tired of Robin always haranguing him, so he relents. Because he’s Batman with a squad of Robins—and Batgirl, he supplies when Robin shoots him a look—and because he spent so much time cleaning out Jimmy Fast Hands’ bathroom that he needs to make all that effort worth it.
“That’s just sunk cost fallacy, man,” Dustin says to him. “And if you’re worried about a gate opening in your pool, may I remind you that the sidewalk right outside of the station split in half, revealing the fiery and somewhat dead depths of the Upside Down, which was why Jimmy Fast Hands beat it—”
Steve just flaps a hand at him. It could mean anything from quit your yapping (except then he’d press his fingers together, and he didn’t) to come give me a hand, and it’s usually the latter, but Dustin doesn’t want to give in.

Summary
Andy Thompson does not cry when his father dies. He enters high school a few months later, and they tell him that he’s going to have to start seeing the school counselor. He doesn’t want his mother to worry--that was the whole point--so he agrees. He goes to see Mr. Harrington.
Or, years after the Upside-Down, Steve Harrington is a school counselor in Chicago, and one of his students needs some guidance. Healing isn't linear, feelings are confusing, but good thing Steve has years of reconciling with his own trauma--and that of several kids--under his belt to help.
Note: Major Character Death tag only applies to chapter 2.

Summary
They arrive when the fire is mostly quenched. Back at home, from the television set, that mall had been consumed already. And they had sat, phone clutched between their joined hands, waited and waited for the dial tone to switch to their little boy’s voice. There was nothing.
...
Behind a wilting strip of ash-dusted caution tape, they see him.
Beatrice clutches to her husband’s, Daniel Harrington’s, arm tight. “Steven!” she chokes out around a sharp, too short intake of breath. Without thinking, without question, she moves one foot in front of the other. Lets her fingernails drag along Daniel’s robed arm, harsh and quick. However, right at the edge of the tape, a man in pale blue stops her.

Summary
“...Dustin was being very mean,” El says cautiously. Her eyebrows are knit together in that way that always makes Max want to hold her and tell her it’ll be okay.
“He’s been weird, since… everything.”
Lucas thinks that he’ll calm down once Eddie is back on his feet. Max thinks that he’s being a selfish little drama queen, but she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to self-pitying bullshit, so she’s been biting her tongue.
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay to… talk to Steve like that. Like he’s stupid.”
“Well…” Max tries to joke, and El glares. “Sorry.”
“You were not helping.”
Max puts down her hairbrush. She’s… maybe also been weird. Since everything.

Summary
“Talk to me.”
Dustin takes a shaky deep breath, hoping that Steve didn’t notice the way his hands shook, the way his eyes burned, the way his throat seemed to be closing in on itself.
“You know my sleeping medication I’ve been taking?”
And it’s like Steve knows what he’s about to say, because he straightens in his seat, his eyes going wide ever so slightly. The shimmer of fear glistening.
OR
Short exploration of Dustin’s suicidal tendencies cause the Duffers refused to touch on it.
