    Summary

    The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.

    Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.

    Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.

    Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

    Summary

    “I thought you were staying with Eddie,” she says. He looks soggy. There’s really no other way to describe it. “Why do you need to live in my apartment?”
    “I was,” he says, and she expects him to elaborate on what’s changed, but he doesn’t. It’s not the first time she’s wondered what’s going on there, but she always felt it was none of her business. It isn’t her business. Which is why half of said business should not be standing in her kitchen right now, looking like a gigantic lost puppy.

    Buck needs a place to live. Athena has a room.

    Especially for Eddie, who waited until now to realize he was in love with his best friend.

    OR: Buck and Maddie get kidnapped. Eddie spirals.
