Steve Harrington's Deaths (And The Times He Maybe Saved The World). by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
“I had another one.”
It stops the playful atmosphere instantly.
Not everyone tells him when they have a Memento. Lucas had kept to himself, and Will had refused to tell Steve about his dream. Some of them just tell him, softly, I remembered number one-seventy-three, or I had a Memento, last night. Sometimes it’s easier to just mention that it happened, acknowledge it and move on.
And Robin, for the most part, had done this. She hadn’t mentioned the details, because she’s sure that Steve is tired of hearing them, doesn’t want to hear his death from another person’s eyes, another person who is left with his body for a day before the loop dissolves into nothingness.
AKA: In the aftermath of it all, when Steve is learning what happiness means for him, people start to remember his deaths.

Steve Harrington's Guide To Planning a Party (Without Blowing Up) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Aug 2022
Tags
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.Series

Summary
“Who…” Steve’s hand falls limp. “…Jesus Christ, Munson…”
“Yeah?” The forenamed boy grins. “You should see the other guys.” He makes a swinging motion with his arms. “Got ‘em real good before I booked it and ran!”
Robin stares at Eddie, then at Steve. “Alright, who’s place is gonna have a first aid kit?”
Steve’s mouth opens in shock, “A first aid kit?!” He sputters, “He needs a damn hospital!”
————
When his trailer, his van, and his ego are vandalized by Hawkin’s resident basketball team, Eddie agrees to work at the Family Video for a little extra cash. You know, if only to get him back on the road and up on his feet.What Steve Harrington didn’t plan for, however, was to uncover just what made “Eddie ‘The Freak’ Munson.”
Nor did he plan on fighting the world for him.Or;
Even Icarus burned—Perhaps Steve will do just the same.—————
