    Summary

    Steve gasps, his body in a cold sweat as he kicks off his covers. He groans as he looks at the time on his alarm clock.

    It was just a nightmare.

    Yeah right. That much pain and anguish ran through him like a live wire, his body ached and it wasn’t because of basketball practice. The dull pain he had been feeling all day, he could no longer ignore. Steve stumbled to his feet, visions of rotten pumpkins and trees plagued his mind. Something was happening to Hawkins again…

    And Steve couldn’t ignore it nor could he pretend that everything was fine anymore.

    Summary

    Three shots ring out.

    Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.

    There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)

    Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

    Summary

    “I know you care about what those little twerps think of you, and I can assure you they think way too highly of you,” Eddie says with a wink, and Steve gives a half-hearted smirk for just a moment. “But look… I know I can’t ask you to stop worrying about those kids, so how about this? You worry about them, and you let me—actually let me—worry about you.

    Steve pushes his hair back, and yet again, gravity instantly pulls it back down, since he’s looking at his feet. “…I don’t need anyone to worry about me.”

    “Too fucking bad. Someone’s gotta do it, and it’s gonna be me.”

    “Why?” Steve replies with a raspy laugh, shaking his head slowly.

    Why? Why.” Eddie crosses his arms tightly across his chest, knocking his foot into Steve’s again with a bit more strength. “Because we’re friends, dipshit.”

    --In which Eddie's got a reason he's been planning on leaving Hawkins since long before the world almost ended. The only thing keeping him in town at this point? His promise to be friends with Steve Harrington. And Eddie doesn't break promises.

    Summary

    November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.

    / or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

    Summary

    Nothing more confusing than dying on a mountainside of tuberculosis in 1899, only to wake up with a concussion and a husband in 2023.

    It's fine, it'll work itself out.
