Summary
“Steve?” Eddie interrupts again. Steve casts a glance in his direction, but Eddie is looking past him at the television with hazy eyes.
“Yeah, I’m here.” Steve jostles his foot gently and gestures for the doctor to continue talking about fluid levels. By fluid, he’s pretty sure she just means blood. The blood that Eddie was coughing up, he figures. It had to go somewhere, so they must’ve drained it the same way they drained all the leaking air from Max’s lung. Maybe. He hopes Eddie’s uncle gets this stuff better than he does.
“Don’t you live in Loch Nora?” Eddie asks just as the doctor is opening her mouth to speak again. Steve builds up to a sigh, unsure how exactly to tell Eddie to shut up when it’s not even his fault that he can’t, before he realizes Eddie’s gaze is still glued to the TV.

Summary
He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.
Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.
Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.
She turns the keys.
"Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"
"Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.
-------------------
After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

Summary
"How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.
Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.
"Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.

Steve teaches Eddie how to swim, and confronts a few things about himself in the process.

Summary
“...Dustin was being very mean,” El says cautiously. Her eyebrows are knit together in that way that always makes Max want to hold her and tell her it’ll be okay.
“He’s been weird, since… everything.”
Lucas thinks that he’ll calm down once Eddie is back on his feet. Max thinks that he’s being a selfish little drama queen, but she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to self-pitying bullshit, so she’s been biting her tongue.
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay to… talk to Steve like that. Like he’s stupid.”
“Well…” Max tries to joke, and El glares. “Sorry.”
“You were not helping.”
Max puts down her hairbrush. She’s… maybe also been weird. Since everything.

Summary
Steve's feet stumbled more than walked, but Hopper didn't care. He half-carried, half-dragged the kid toward the emergency room doors, his jaw clenched so tight it ached. Every step felt like it took too long.
As the two of them started to slowly stumble to the front of the ER, Hopper took a brief moment to think about it. Took a moment to think how despite everything—despite barely knowing the kid, despite all his preconceptions and assumptions, despite the amount of times Steve had purposefully acted like a smart-ass punk just to piss him off—Hopper had realized something tonight:
Steve Harrington was a good kid.

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station.
That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.

You can put it all on me, you can laugh and you can bleed by steveharringtoned

Summary
Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.
But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.
That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

"Steve," he corrects.
"Steve?"
"I saved your life. Least you can do is call me by my name," he shrugs.
And Eddie laughs.
And Steve just thinks oh. Oh fuck.
(Or, Eddie is Steve Harrington's almost.)

Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Now that Steve’s not bathed in the otherworldly light of the Upside Down, he looks fucking awful – nothing at all like when Dustin last saw him on the shore of Lovers’ Lake – and when Dustin grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him back down against the mattress, Steve doesn't put up a fight, which honestly does not make Dustin feel any better.
Or: It’s strange how fast things started to spiral once Steve began going on dates again, looking for that one perfect girl, and Dustin joined up with the Hellfire Club.
Or: In which two idiots have a long overdue talk about their feelings (or come as close to talking about their feelings as two idiots can manage).

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
Steve glowered as Tyler Monroe stepped up to the stage, the last M to receive their diploma. Eddie Munson's name brushed off the page like eraser shavings.
In a sea of green, there were too many faces missing. This wasn't right.
"You know what, Wheeler. I couldn't agree with you more. This is bullshit."

Summary
“What if I told you -” she begins, pouring them both a glass. When he looks at hers, the image mirrored in the glass is not her face. He blinks. “- that you could get away?”
“Get away from what?” he huffs, frustration seeping into his voice.
“This heartbreak, Jaskier.” She looks up sharply and their eyes meet. The shade of her eyes is not the right one. “That you could finally matter. For once in your short, miserable, human life… All you need to do is ask.”
After Yennefer saves his life from certain death, Jaskier doesn’t think he can get so lucky twice in a row. And so, stuck in a prison cell, he tries to think of a way to get himself out - tries to think of the words he had heard the sorceress mutter. Turn your back to the forest, hut hut. Turn your front to me, hut hut…
(There’s no way he could get himself in even more trouble, right?)

Summary
They’ve all changed since the mountain, Geralt more than most, but he’s known Jaskier since he was a teenager and there’s been more change in him this last year than the nineteen previous.
Whatever happened, whatever is happening still, Geralt needs to know. For Ciri and his brothers, but for Jaskier too. A year is a long time for a human, and if he’s in some kind of trouble, it’s Geralt’s job to get him out of it.
Call it instinct. Call it paranoia. But he’s paying attention now, and Jaskier won’t be able to keep his secrets for long.

Summary
It's a silly, silly thing, to keep the first coin Geralt gave him.
It's a foolish, sentimental show of whimsy to hold onto a bit of metal that the witcher likely forgot about the second it left his hand.
There's no point in keeping it. None at all. It would be absurd to hold onto it when it could be better spent on ale or bread or doublets.
Jaskier sews it a special pocket in his bag.
(Jaskier's life changed the day Geralt left him that coin. How could he NOT keep it?)
