Summary
In 1978 Steve Harrington went missing for 5 days, no one noticed. Little Steve Harrington missed an entire week of school and no one said anything; Eddie felt his absence in the empty seat he usually takes up in front of him, and Eddie worries. Because Steve didn’t even miss school when he had the flu, and now he’s just… nowhere to be seen
or; Steve Harrington learns what it really means to be loved while also learning that some of the demons in his head, aren't just in his head
Picks up during S3, most before that is canon complacent with a few things changed that are addressed in the intro. Doesn't follow canon too closely after that.

Summary
"Yeah, Harrington," he heard Hopper say. "Anytime. It's not easy to be a bruiser in this fight."
I'm not a bruiser, Steve thought to himself. I'm a goddamn kamikaze.
He rattled out some mindless reply, one that not even he was able to repeat. Then he slowly loaded the rest of the boxes into his Beamer and drove down to the high school, tailing behind Hopper. When they lulled to a pause at a stop sign, Steve pressed his forehead to the steering wheel, took a breath, and fought back the urge to drive his car off the quarry cliff.
He didn't know when the switch had happened. When I'd be willing to die for them turned into I'm going to die for them turned into I need to die for them. Once it had happened, however it had come to be, he hadn't been able to shake the pledge. It'd been cemented into his mind. He supposed that was why they called suicide a commitment.
or, unable to lose anyone else, Steve writes a list, ranking his friends by how quickly he'd sacrifice himself for them. 5 times someone finds the list but doesn't realize what it is + 1 time they understand it perfectly.
