    Summary

    When Nancy tells Steve about Eleven, he starts searching the woods every single day to find her. He doesn’t know if she’ll recognize him- it’s been years since he escaped the lab- but the thought that his little sister could still be out there, cold and alone and starving, hurts more than he can say.

    He finds the cabin by accident.

    OR

    How Hopper ends up adopting two super-powered kids who wind up saving the world at least once every year.

    Summary

    Jonathan has a nice voice. It’s deep, but never booming. It’s just kind and gentle, sometimes teasing and cynical but very rarely cruel. Steve clings to it like a life preserver.

    “Hey, man,” Steve says, and it sounds so far from casual that he has to laugh a little bit. “Sorry to bother you. It's not… I didn't mean to bother you. You don’t have to do anything.”

    “Don’t do that,” Jonathan says. His gentle voice sounds tinny coming through the walkie’s speaker.

    “Do what?”

    “Pull away when you need help.”

    Summary

    Steve likes it, this easy friendship they have forming between them. Eddie is so smart and funny and kind in a way Steve wasn't expecting. Eddie's also tactile, always reaching out to touch Steve. Playfully shoving Steve or slinging an arm around his shoulders or hip-checking him while they stand side by side in the kitchen cooking.

    Instead of finding it irritating though, Steve loves it. He loves the attention, the easy affection. He loves Eddie's teasing remarks and all the little nicknames he comes up with for Steve.

    Eddie is fast becoming one of Steve's best friends.

    There's no replacing the bond he has with Robin, and he'll always love Dustin like a brother, but Eddie is different. He fits into Steve's life in a way Steve didn't realize he needed, like a missing puzzle piece.
