    Summary

    The summer is coming to an end, and as the weather begins to change, so does life for Charles and Erik. Erik's starting a new job, Charles is starting a new season at the daycare and life can't get more domestic than looking at real estate listings on lazy Sunday mornings while arguing over which Farmer's Market to visit. A crisis at the daycare, however, proves that Charles doesn't do anything in halves. Suddenly house-hunting and a longer commute are the least of Erik's problems and he and Charles are forced to make some hasty decisions about the future of their relationship. (Also, Tony meets Steve, Steve meets Charles, and Charles' mother meets Erik.)

    Summary

    If you had asked Steve Harrington five years ago what he would be doing after high school, he would have believed wholeheartedly that he would be following in the path his father laid out before him. At age 20, however, Steve found himself breaking free of the mould he had been raised to fit.
    His closest friends were a bunch of nerdy children he babysat, the girl he had thought he was going to marry had broken up with him (and he was glad she did), he had been rejected from every university he applied to, he was working a minimum wage job, and he was fresh off the back of his third near-apocalypse.
    With the Spring Break of '86 on the horizon, Steve can't help but let himself feel hopeful. After all, how much worse can things get?

    or

    Stranger Things 4, but Steve is an active protagonist who finds himself falling in love with Eddie Munson, of all people, as the world begins to end yet again.

    or or

    The characters of Stranger Things rewritten with (hopefully) realistic emotional responses to their trauma, growth, communication (except for when they're idiots), and agency.

    Summary

    “I didn’t know you smoked.” Eddie looks at him tentatively.

    “Didn’t until ‘86,” Steve answers, letting the feeling of the cigarette between his fingers anchor him into reality.

    “I see a lot has changed for you in ‘86.” Steve snorts, still not returning Eddie’s fixed gaze.

    “Are you just going to ignore me for the rest of the night?”

    -

    or: It's 1991, Joyce and Hop are finally getting married. Steve owns a flower shop, Eddie's a rockstar and everyone's tired of their bullshit.

    Summary

    Steve’s never understood why adults always praise him for being a “people person” as if it’s some great accomplishment.

    What, like it’s hard?

    -------------------

    Or: Steve Harrington is your average American teenager, he just had to work harder than most to learn how to ignore the emotions bumping into him.

    Summary

    In a way, Steve was kind of grateful for the swift intervention.
    He knew now, after all, that most people in the world didn't have the ability to pick out people's emotions, and in a town like Hawkins he wouldn't have lasted long if he commented on every feeling he encountered. It was the reason why despite everything, he had turned out normal, despite all of life's attempts to turn him into something other than a popular somewhat dim-witted jock.

    And then one day he’d walked into the Byers household and been slapped in the face with the most godawful aura he'd ever experienced in his life, and he just knew he wasn’t going to be coming back from this.
    or:
    Steve has secret powers, which isn't really an issue except he's now dealing with his unexpected feelings(tm) for one Eddie Munson and suddenly things just got a lot more complicated. Also, he has the nasty habit of blowing shit up when he gets stressed which makes the whole 'secret' part of his powers hard.
    The situation is totally and completely under his control, he just has to plan this stupid 'We saved the world (again)' party and he should be fine.
    Totally fine.
