    Summary

    The Hawkins Police Department doesn’t actually spend its days investigating missing children or government conspiracies or serial murders. Nope, most of the time it’s just little crimes, regular nonsense. Too loud parties, disagreements at bars, suspicious kids surrounded by skunky smoke. Normal stuff.

    More than once, at the end of those everyday calls, there is a familiar face: Steve Harrington—and also, that no-good punk with the long hair.

    Summary

    “Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”

    Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

    ---

    Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

    Summary

    Vecna is dead. Fried crispy, by all accounts. But that doesn't mean the Upside Down is done yet.

    Steve, however, has other problems. Now that the Party made it out with everyone alive, his brain has developed the habit of reminding him that Eddie Munson exists. And that Steve might have a capital 'T' thing for him. A thing that is not capital 'P' platonic. Which he can totally handle. It's not like he'll do anything stupid, Steve knows better. Call him: Steve 'Rational' Harrington.

    Maybe he should be thankful that they get a few months to figure out life again before it all goes to shit. Until he gets the phone call that drags him into the thick of it again. But maybe this is the last time. God, Steve really hopes this is the last time.

    (OR: A 'what if...' Season 5, where Eddie Munson is a little worse for wear but a-okay and Steve Harrington has time to consider a few things)

    (OR, OR: Summer is on the way, meaning movies, pool parties, and a few too many beers... At least until the Upside Down claws its way back, because this is Hawkins, Indiana, and stranger things will always happen)

    (OR, OR, OR: The (Second) Vanishing of Will Byers)

    Summary

    There is no one in the world Steve Harrington has a more complicated relationship with than himself. Often, this is a comfort; it can lend context and simplicity to many situations. Sometimes, though, it just makes everything more complicated.

    OR

    Steve's relationship with his sexuality and a certain metal head DnD nerd who makes Steve's heart do funny things.
