Summary
In the Spring of 1983 Steve Harrington starts to see the future -- kind of. He glimpses moments from another life in flashes and fragments. The first of those vision is the death of Barbara Holland. When Steve sets out to save her, he has no idea how much his world will change in the process.
Attempting to save Barb pulls Steve into friendships he never would have expected, he meets a gaggle of middle schoolers ahead of schedule, and before long, everyone is facing Hawkins' bizarre threats together.
And then there's Eddie Munson. Steve isn’t sure why Eddie keeps appearing in his glimpses of an unknown future. He’s even less sure why he can’t seem to stop thinking about the guy in the present. But dragging Eddie into the orbit of Steve’s increasingly strange collection of friends means Steve gets plenty of opportunities to figure it out.
With every alteration Steve makes, Hawkins changes with it. But the monsters keep coming, and as the timeline shifts, the future becomes harder to predict. And Steve finds, too, that changing the future is not without its consequences.

Summary
In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.
A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning.
Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?
Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.
Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone who Steve shouldn't have any reason to care about. But no matter what Steve does, every path seems to lead him back to Eddie.

Summary
Steve this, Steve *that*—Eddie’s had enough of his newest sheepies’ hero worship of the guy, and it all comes to a head when they’re distracted at the most sacred of events: Hellfire. Apparently his majesty is under the weather—time to storm the castle and end their serfdom.
(Jokes on Eddie, because one look at sickly, pathetic Harrington has him ripping up his Munson doctrine faster than you can say ‘m’lord)

Summary
He spots the kid sitting cross-legged on the floor with his head in his hands.
“Harrington?” Hopper asks softly, kneeling beside him.
“Gimme a minute,” Steve mumbles.
He gives him several minutes, getting a little more comfortable and glaring away any other shoppers who scowl at Steve before they can say anything. He’s not sure why he’d unthinkingly taken up the responsibility of guarding a teenager in the cereal aisle, but he doesn’t regret it when said teenager finally looks up at him.

Summary
A month has passed since the Gate closed, and the only thing Steve cares about is that the kids are happy and safe.
Steve does not care about his grades slipping, fear accompanying him every waking hour, and Billy trying to become friends with him. He doesn't care, he really doesn't. Until he does, and the world comes crashing down.
This fic is basically a mix of MumSteve, mental consequences of fighting monsters, and slowburn Billy flirting and Steve being too confused to notice
(Post Season 2)
Follow up to Sleep Tight, don't let the Demodogs bite. However, you can read this without reading the other fic.

There's Something in the Woods, And We're No Longer Children. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
He wants to figure it out, Eddie realises. It’s been haunting him since it happened two years ago — that chittering, whispering that emanated from the woods. From that first time he heard it, when the crickets were deathly silent, predator-ready, to when he heard the thundering, soldiers of the earth screaming and howling into the trees.
Eddie doesn’t know what he thinks he’s gonna find, but whatever it is, he wants to know. Those whispers hadn’t been back since that rumble beneath the ground — the soldiers — but that steady beat, like a giant mass running closer on the 4th of July? It has to be the same. There’s no way it can’t be connected.
And nobody has mentioned it. Nobody has even hinted at knowing what he’s talking about.
AKA: Before the beginning and after the end, through Eddie Munson’s eyes.

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.

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

In the excitement of everything, everyone kind of forgot about Steve getting dragged to the Upside-Down. And getting choked out by a demobat. And being bitten by more demobats.
Robin remembers. She can’t forget, apparently.

Summary
Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.
For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.
Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.
He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.
And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?
And why on Earth was he blond?

Summary
He knew he shouldn't be driving, of course he knew that.
But he was better now. Stronger. The headaches were less frequent, and he hadn't had any dizzy spells this week aside from the typical vertigo that followed him whenever he woke up, or turned his head too fast.
Plus, it was late. The roads were empty, dark stretches of pavement with no other cars in sight. No one to hit, no one to swerve around.
Just Steve and the yellow lines on the road and the knowledge that Dustin needed help.
