    Summary

    “You’re smirking. Is something funny?”

    Wayne does often say Eddie’ll make a terrible poker player. No mystique, he’s often said, which made Eddie quietly stress for weeks afterwards that he’s accidentally been giving away the twists in his campaign with unconcealed facial expressions. Beleaguered, he has no choice but to be fully and completely honest with Steve, which, he’s found in their lengthening interactions lately, Steve does not like.

    “I thought it was funny how you very carefully calculated how long of a stride you’d need to take to avoid that puddle.” Eddie answers, and Steve’s brows predictably furrow, the way they always do when he regards Eddie.

    Summary

    Fate has a funny way of flipping everything on its head. It has a way of calling back to moments that felt so… nothing at the time, so utterly insignificant, yet brought a whole entire person into being.

    Steve gets a mandatory blood test following exposure to the demobats. It changes everything and nothing at all.

    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

    Just as Steve is starting to fiddle with the fly on Eddie’s jeans, a police siren gives one short whine from somewhere close behind them, and Eddie’s eyes fly open to see red and blue lights bouncing off the surrounding trees.

    “Hey, morons!” someone yells from outside the car, and Eddie immediately recognizes the voice as Chief Hopper’s, “Outta the car – now.”

    He’s not all that worried, believe it or not. Eddie’s got a pretty good amount of faith in Steve’s ability to spin up some story to keep them out of any real trouble, and as they sheepishly climb out of the car, Eddie prepares himself for a whole show of, “Yes Chief, sorry Chief, it won’t happen again Chief.”

    So imagine Eddie's complete and utter surprise when Hopper barks, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” and Steve only rolls his eyes and says, “What’s it to you?”

    Summary

    The first time Robin noticed it, Steve was helping a customer at Family Video.
    He was in the middle of a sentence, i the middle of a transaction behind the register when his eyes drifted up towards the ceiling and his voice trailed off. His jaw shifted around and he chewed on his tongue.
    It was like he was completely vacant.
    It lasted a few seconds, and he snapped back in, finishing his sentence and continuing the transaction like nothing happened.

    -

    Steve's been having seizures.
