    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.

    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.

    Summary

    A throat cleared, and nearly a dozen pairs of eyes began to open at once, adjusting to the brightness of the room before settling on the figure in front of them.

    It would be an unnerving sight for anyone else, but the woman simply smiled. “I’m guessing you all have questions,” she said as she adjusted the clipboard in her lap.

    “Hera?” a few voices echoed, each wavering in fear.

    “Guqqie?” said a couple others, in equal parts reverence and disbelief.

    “Sola?” the final person whispered, voice small and wounded.

    The side of Hera’s mouth twitched slightly upward, eyes twinkling in thinly veiled amusement.

    ***

    or: a crack fic where a bunch of aimsey’s characters are put in the same room. chaos ensues.
