Summary
Dustin knows what a maw-mouth is. His mom sat him down when he was eight and told him that, when the time came for him to start killing mals, there was one mal that he should never try to kill. That he should, in fact, run away from as fast as possible, because it’s that or get eaten for all eternity.
There’s a difference, though, between knowing what one is and actually seeing one.
(Steve and Dustin are both wizards. They have a vastly different understanding of how their world works.)

Summary
The bats catch up to Robin, Steve, Eddie, and Nancy a mile away from the trailer park. And that should be the end of them. There's too many monsters to fight, and they're way faster than the Wheelers' sorta-stolen bikes. They're dead. It's over.
Except Steve has a secret.
(Or, a Steve-was-a-lab-kid fic that starts with the reveal and goes from there)

Summary
Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.
Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.
(Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)

Summary
Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.
He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.
(Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

Visenna is a druid, and so are her children.
Visenna has very specific expectations for how her children will use their magic.

Summary
While being pursued by a monster the likes of which they’ve never seen, Geralt, Ciri, and Jaskier attempt to escape into another universe. When the portal collapses with Jaskier still in it, he’s thrown off course and someplace that looks similar to home, but is just a little to the left of normal. Now, Geralt and Ciri must travel the multiverse to find him, before the monster catches up to them and devours them all.

Summary
Eddie Munson's missed too many classes to pass gym. The only option he's given to make it up and salvage the year is participation on a varsity sports team. In desperation, he tries out for baseball.
Everyone tells Steve Harrington that his fastball will take him places. Of course, the closer he gets to escaping Hawkins, the more the Upside Down seems intent on tying him down.
[The baseball AU where Eddie and Steve miss each other in high school but land on the same single A team.]

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

Summary
Steve Harrington can talk to ghosts. Sometimes. More accurately, ghosts can talk to Steve Harrington, and this fact has already saved his life once. He's really hoping they feel up to helping him a second time around, because it seems like the Upside Down isn't done with Hawkins yet.

I've been trying to figure you out, tell me then would you lend a hand? by Dark_Rosaleen
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“So, tell me what’s so great about Harrington, then.”
He doesn’t really know why he says it, it’s not like Eddie cares about the old King of Hawkins High; Steve Harrington is an asshole. That’s just a fact of life. The sky is blue, high school is pointless, Steve Harrington is a dickhead.
But Eddie likes this kid, likes all of them actually.
Dustin turns to look at him, a small smile on his lips, his eyes softening, and bingo.
-
Six times Eddie tries to understand who Steve is, and the one time he finally manages it. (and works some things out about himself along the way.)
Title is from 'Figure you out' by Djo - because I had to and the lyrics fit.
