Summary
Steve Harrington thinks he might be dead. He stares at the complexion of the boy in the mirror and thinks that maybe he didn't make it out of the upside down after all. The For list is certainly longer than the Against list. The idea doesn't seem so unlikely after everything he's seen these last few years. Adds himself to the pile of bodies that has been steadily growing in his periphery. A fly lands on the mirror and he thinks of the moniker that got thrown around the middle school before it was tossed around the high school. Little Will Byers. Zombie boy. Says it aloud to the fly.
"Zombie Boy."
The words sit too comfortably on his tongue to be anything but true. Steve Harrington is dead and he is so incredibly fucked.

Summary
“I’m warning you, man. You so much as look at him the wrong way and you’re done here. I don’t care what anyone says.”
Jon’s breath is hot on Steve’s chin, his eyes a little feral, face pinched. And they are both standing in the alley behind the theatre and Steve’s rotten core has just spilled out between them. Queer echoing off the walls caging them.
“Jon, I know what I— I don’t… It’s Will, man, I—” He doesn’t think Jonathan would appreciate him saying he loved him. Doesn’t think he has the right. Has already encroached on too much.
“Harrington,” Jon warns sharply, and Steve feels the ghost of a fist against his cheek, the phantom of his elbow landing on the ground first, followed by shoulder and head.
“I don’t have a problem with it. Swear, man. I’m not…” not like that anymore. He can’t finish. Doesn’t have the conviction to finish it.
.....Will comes out. Everything falls apart. Happy Fucking Christmas.

Summary
Something is wrong with Steve Harrington... hell, if anyone can pinpoint just what though.
Steve Harrington dies with a plate to his head at the age of 18. It’s not the plate that does it, but the plate certainly helps the process along.

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station. That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.

Summary
Another Thanksgiving without his parents.
What’s new? Big whoop.
Steve had been on a record of four years where his big feast was a measly frozen TV dinner and maybe a slice of pie—if he put in the effort to make his nana’s apple pie that year. And dessert was only a last year thing anyway. This record that he has, though, he had been set on not breaking. Prove some point. Take a photo for the scrapbook and gift it straight to his dad’s stupid office, maybe send a hard boiled egg, tell him to suck it.
Like he’d waste his precious minimum wage salary on something like that.
