Summary
1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.
Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.
OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

Summary
Max stares with wide eyes as two boys fall through the door. The shorter one (but barely, maybe no more than an inch shorter) is wearing a varsity jacket and stumbling over his feet as he walks backwards. His arms are looped around the taller boy’s neck, and he’s still laughing. The taller boy wears a vest layered over a leather jacket, has untamed hair, and looks at the shorter boy with eyes that make Max feel like she’s intruding.
Both boys’ clothes are slightly rumpled, and she only now realizes that the taller boy’s hands are resting on the other’s waist. They haven’t seemed to notice Max or El, and the taller boy uses his foot to kick the door shut.
El calmly says, “Steve, we are watching Dracula. Would you and Eddie like to join us?”
Steve and Eddie jerk apart, finally noticing Max and El in the room. They glance at each other, a whole conversation held in that one look. It is, apparently, a conversation that Eddie loses, because he sighs as Steve grins. “How far are you?” Steve asks, kicking off his shoes before collapsing onto the couch.
(A/N: Strongly suggest reading the other two parts first to avoid any confusion.)

Summary
Bitty wants to pull Jack in by the collar of his shirt and kiss him right here, right now. Instead, he says, “I don’t get it. Why I’m supposed to hate you, I mean.”
Jack shrugs. “Teams like having a common enemy. It bonds them, I think,” he says. And then, so quietly Bitty almost doesn’t hear it, “For what it’s worth, I’m not doing a very good job hating you either.”
Or: After the overdose, Jack traded in his hockey stick for a lacrosse stick. This proves to be very inconvenient for Bitty's budding crush on him.
