    Summary

    A series following Steve Harrington as he unknowingly, unwillingly, loops time to save the ones he loves (and maybe realises that he can ask for help, is deserving of love, before, after, and during).

    The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. [COMPLETE, CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE]
    When anything and everything goes wrong in 1986, Steve realises that he can fix things, and maybe falls in love, along the way.

    Steve Harrington's Deaths (And The Times He Maybe Saved The World). [COMPLETE]
    After the events of '86, after everything has settled down, and everything is calm, people start to remember. The pieces start to slot together, and nobody likes the picture it creates.

    There’s Something In The Woods, And We’re No Longer Children. [COMPLETE]
    Steve Harrington is equal parts elusive and unobtainable, and all Eddie Munson wants to know is what's making those sounds in the woods.

    Summary

    It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

    Steve fails. They lose.

    “Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

    His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

    “I lost count.”

    AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

    Summary

    “Hold on,” Robin interrupts. “Hold on, is this— are you, like. Do you know what masochism is?”

    “I know I act like it sometimes, Robin, but I’m not actually fucking twelve,” Steve says.

    Summary

    It's been two years since the graduation of Class '89. The party has slowly moved on. New York City welcomed Will Byers with open arms and shiny lights. He found his peace, someone who isn’t scared to love him. He's doing well. He can finally breathe.

    On the other hand, Mike Wheeler is drowning. He won’t admit it to anyone, of course. Stuck in Hawkins, left with too much time to think and to write. He misses his friends. He misses his best friend.

    Summer comes around Hawkins, and with it, comes back Will. One quick visit — enough to shake Mike’s ground. Crack holes in his guarded mind, leak thoughts he buried deep inside for a decade.

    or

    Will invites Mike to come and stay with him in NYC for a little while. Will has a boyfriend. Mike is having a crisis.

    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”
