Summary
He saw Arthur burst from the forest, wide-eyed and pale-faced. Sweat plastered his hair to his forehead, and fear locked his expression in its clutches. One hand stretched out as if to grab him. So near and yet so far.
The moment fled. Gravity won, and there wasn't even time for Merlin to cry out as the bandit's weight dragged him over the cliff and into the stormy waters below.
****
When Merlin is hurt during a bandit attack, Arthur finds himself torn between the longings of his heart and his duties to the crown.

Summary
In the shadows of the trees, the man’s eyes seemed to shimmer with a golden glow.
“Identify yourself,” Arthur commanded, ordering himself not to be unnerved by the unnatural gaze. The dragonlord's hair was black and fell into those unearthly eyes in a disorderly tumble that was disarmingly soft looking. Arthur shook the thought away.
The voice came again, once again magically projected into their ears instead of carrying naturally across the space. “My people refer to me as Emrys.”

Summary
"What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”
OR
Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.
(But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

Summary
The thing is, when it comes to prioritizing, Steve is hardly ever at the top of the list. And he gets that - he’s not really at the top of his list, either. He doesn’t need to be; he takes care of himself, and he’s fine. Eddie, however, seems to see things differently.
Or, five times Eddie put Steve first, and one time Steve felt like it was okay to ask him to.

Summary
When Steve Harrington collapses on the floor of Hawkins General Hospital exactly five days after the world doesn’t end, Robin really wishes she could say she’s surprised.
It’s just so quintessentially Steve. So in tune with his every aggravating characteristic. She’s seen how he is when people are hurt. The way he rushes in to help put on everyone else’s oxygen mask first and never once thinks of his own. He’s a self-sacrificing idiot.
So she’s not surprised, she’s just furious.
Or
Robin is tired because her soulmate is fucking Stupid with a Capital S
Wayne is trying really hard to not like Steve Harrington. The guy is making it super difficult.
Erica thinks everyone is being dumb. As usual. Especially Steve. Who, you know, she might care about, like a little.

Summary
“Steve?” Eddie interrupts again. Steve casts a glance in his direction, but Eddie is looking past him at the television with hazy eyes.
“Yeah, I’m here.” Steve jostles his foot gently and gestures for the doctor to continue talking about fluid levels. By fluid, he’s pretty sure she just means blood. The blood that Eddie was coughing up, he figures. It had to go somewhere, so they must’ve drained it the same way they drained all the leaking air from Max’s lung. Maybe. He hopes Eddie’s uncle gets this stuff better than he does.
“Don’t you live in Loch Nora?” Eddie asks just as the doctor is opening her mouth to speak again. Steve builds up to a sigh, unsure how exactly to tell Eddie to shut up when it’s not even his fault that he can’t, before he realizes Eddie’s gaze is still glued to the TV.

Summary
In the mall parking lot, Steve watched as everyone's families came to check that their kids were okay. Steve figured no one would be coming to check on him—but he figured wrong.
--
"Dustin's fine," he said, not wanting her to worry any longer than she had to. He blinked in surprise when she waved one of her hands.
"I know." She gestured… somewhere, Steve was too busy watching her in confusion to look. "He wasn't in the mall, Lucas told me."
"Oh." Steve shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Mrs. Henderson's face screwed up in a familiar expression of concern. Dustin wore the same one when he was worried about something. "Then what—"
She reached up, hand hovering over his sore eye without touching it. Her other hand rested gently against Steve's relatively unscathed cheek and his mouth snapped shut with a click.

Summary
"Henderson,” Eddie groans. “Do you have any idea what time it is?" He rubs his hands over his face. Dustin nods.
"Of course, it’s 6:15, but we need to talk, it's really urgent, I noticed something about the-" he stops in his tracks when he notices the patch of hair next to Eddie, sticking out from under the covers and in between pillows, and the way Eddie winces because Dustin's talking too loud, and oh shit- there's someone else in bed with him.
or: Dustin has the annoying habit of just busting into Eddie's trailer at ungodly hours. One morning Eddie's not alone though.

Summary
Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.
“Why don’t you take me on a date then?”
“Wh— what?”
“Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”
Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.

Summary
Eddie and Steve have been spending a lot of time together since Vecna. They're co-parenting kids, getting high every night, and sleeping in the same bed. They basically share a wardrobe too.
He thinks this is dangerous, its like they’re married, the casual sharing of intimacy, this space between them which feels like something and nothing all at the same time. He thinks it’s dangerous for him to pretend Steve sees it the same way, that one day Steve’s droopy, kind eyes are going to see right through him and he’ll lose this. This being a side of Steve’s bed that is his, a nightstand where his rings always pile, a drawer of shirts in Steve’s bedroom that only Eddie uses. He can’t lose it, so he shuts his mouth, turns out the light, and watches the slow breathing of sleep fill Steve’s chest.

Summary
It took several tries to find the ignition. Getting his shaking hand to turn the key, his foot to press all the way down on the brake, feeling the car rumble to life—these were victories on par with knocking a demogorgon away from a child with his nail bat. Live to fight another minute. And another. And another. And eventually, it would be enough.
It had to be enough.

Or: Steve’s parents come home, and they don’t like what they find. Eddie's there to pick up the pieces.

Summary
May 31st 1986, two weeks until graduation. Robin, Eddie, and Nancy are all set to walk across the stage, Eddie being given a free pass after the whole ‘almost framed for murder’ thing. The three have been trying to be excited about their graduation, but it feels almost mundane to be excited when Steve wouldn’t be there. They would be sat out on a football field in the blistering heat while waiting for their names to be called, with Dustin and Max in the crowd, cheering them on in Steve's place. There would be fake smiles plastered to all their faces, no matter how realistic they tried to make them.
None of them have genuinely smiled since Steve got Vecna'd.
Sixty-Five days. Steve had been in a coma for Sixty-Five days. The doctors keep telling The Party that it doesn't look good, that Steve's injures had been severe, and that they didn't know if, when, he would wake up.
But they refused to lose hope.
He'll wake up.
It's just a matter of time.
OR
Five times Steve Harrington didn't wake up, and one time he did.
