    Summary

    Inexplicably, Steve's hand reaches out to touch the carved letters that don’t even spell out Eddie’s real name. “Fuck. Shitty first date. I mean, if you want it to be. Otherwise, it’s just a talk. Guess you’ll have to tell me sometime.” For a heartbeat, he breathes there, pretends, between inhales and exhales, that the scent of Eddie’s cheap cologne, something spicy and soothing, always mixed with earthy weed, twines into the crests of the wind.

    Murmurs after a fashion, “I think he just misses you. And I miss you, and I miss him. And if you were here, you could roll your eyes with me and say something dumb, and I’d huff, and he’d groan, and we’d laugh. It’s all just... It’s all just broken now."

    ---

    Or, a series of Steve and Dustin moments that bring us from Eddie's death to Stranger Things 5. Or, Dustin is struggling with Steve being alive and Eddie being dead, and Steve is struggling with missing them both.

    Or: 2) Steve sews Dustin’s shirt up when the bullies rip it up. 3) Robin sews Steve up when Dustin rips him up. 4) Dustin can't stop worrying about Steve. 5) After their Vol. 2 fight, Steve breaks down alone. 6) Finally, they hug.

    Summary

    Steve throws the walkie away. Another day without hearing anything, not one word. Routine now, normal, and it’s frightening just how quickly it happened; how easy it was for…

    Sometimes Steve can’t even say his name. It sticks in his throat.

    Summary

    "I'm tired of feeling so angry, all the time, I mean, sometimes it feels like it'll never go away. Like that's all there is now, is just anger, and I'm not even scared anymore, which scares me a little, but I guess I know how you feel because I want to throw myself at something until it hurts-" He hears the slight intake of breath that Steve takes when he says that.

    "Dustin-"

    "And I'm sorry," his voice breaks, just slightly on that word, sorry, with how loaded it is.

    OR

    Dustin realizes with certainty, at the end of the world, that if Steve dies, it'll still be his fault, because no matter how much he pushes Steve away, it'll never be far enough to protect him.

    Summary

    “I ever tell you ‘bout the time Mike jumped off this cliff to save me?”

    “What?” Steve breathes, his footsteps stopping short. Just out of arm’s reach.

    “It was that week Will was missing… Troy Walsh and James Dante came after us. Chased us through the woods. We’d just reached the quarry when Troy grabbed me and put a knife to my neck.”

    Behind him, Steve inhales sharply, but stays silent.

    “Said if Mike didn’t jump he’d cut me. And I begged him not to.”

    Dustin palms at his eyes, trying to stave off the tears that threaten to spill over like waterfalls into the drained quarry.

    “Asshole didn’t listen."

    “Yeah, so?”

    “You really could’ve kicked their asses.”

    “They’re just some assholes, Robin. They aren’t worth it.”

    or

    Robin tries to make sense of the Steve she knows and the Steve she's seen in the Upside Down.

    or
