Summary
"When Steve presents as an omega at sixteen, his grandfather is the only one who reacts with anything other than disgust or disappointment. Instead, he very stoically presents him with a wrapped parcel at the family Christmas that year with strict instructions to open it when there’s no-one around..."
Basically, Steve is spoiled rotten by the pack of pups he accidentally created to the confusion of everyone around him.

Title from Angel Witch by Angel Witch from the album Angel Witch [1980] (shit you not)
The album has mad Eddie vibes, I recommend it, but their later stuff isn't as good as the debut album imo. -

Summary
“But we’re gonna come and visit you anyway, big guy,” Eddie adds.
“Sure. Just, ah…don’t expect much in the way of entertainment,” Steve grumbles.
“You can just sit there and look pretty, how’s that? Won’t be hard for you,” Eddie replies, smooth.
Steve’s cheeks heat up again.
*****
A traumatic brain injury leads to a downward spiral for Steve. He's dropped from the Blackhawks, his recovery is slow and rocky, and he's got no idea what to do with his life.
Enter his old friends, Eddie and Dustin, who spend their time poking around decrepit haunted locations filming for their YouTube channel. Steve doesn't really believe in all this ghost stuff, but he's got nothing better to do than join them.
Besides, he might just be ever-so-slightly head-over-heels for Eddie Munson.

Summary
After a narrow escape from the Upside Down, it's hard to find your footing.
Or: Steve Harrington deals with his terrible parents, Robin Buckley refuses to leave her best friend to fend for himself, and Eddie Munson simply will not stop lending Steve his clothes for no reason Steve can see.
(Or: Steve cares too hard and too deeply to not have someone else care the same way about him. Everyone knows this except, apparently, for Steve.)

Summary
Lizzie Henderson isn't sure where she fits in. Maybe she helped save Hawkins and the whole world a few times, but that was nothing compared to finishing senior year. What will she do after graduation? Why can't Jason Carver just leave her alone? How can she stop Dustin from getting bullied? And why is Eddie Munson always staring at her?

Summary
“Have you ever wanted to be invisible?” Steve asked, looking out at the sheer cliffs on the other side of the quarry. It was a thought he’d held onto for a while, letting it form mostly in the early hours of the morning when he was alone in the dark.
“You mean like a superhero and shit?” Eddie asked, blowing out smoke and taking another drag from his cigarette.
-
When Steve presents, his parents force him out of the house, changing everything about his life and subsequently the future of Hawkins. In the mean time, Steve learns how to be loved. -

Summary
It's October of 1984, and Steve Harrington's life is completely normal.
A new sort of normal, but still...completely normal. It doesn't matter that there are still gaping holes in his memory or that Will is having more and more episodes because Steve has everything under control...right?

Summary
If you told Steve Harrington on November 7th, 1983, that there was an alternate dimension beneath Hawkins, he would've laughed in your face and called you a freak.
It's November 8th, 1983, and Steve Harrington gets pulled into this alternate dimension through his pool.

Summary
Thanks to a deal struck between her and Hop, El may have the chance to spend the summer outside of the cabin with her friends. The deal? El needs to survive until the summer, with no stupid rule-breaking. And in an attempt to keep her entertained until then, she’ll also be getting two babysitters to keep her company in the cabin.
Nancy is familiar territory, but Steve is someone all but unknown to El. But he’s nice, and very interesting to observe, El can’t help but decide.

Summary
When Steve sees Eleven again, he wants to cry.
_
Steve Harrington was raised in Hawkins Lab, and he's spent the past six years trying his best to forget. It doesn't matter that he can stop time with his mind or that most nights he wakes up screaming. He's Steve, not Seven. He's moved on.
Or at least he thought he had, until the little sister he thought was dead shows up.

Summary
It starts out with a little bit of jealousy. Healthy. Steve doesn't like sharing. Typical only child. And every second word out of Dustin's mouth is Eddie Munson. Eddie Munson this, Eddie Munson that. Eddie thinks, Eddie said, Eddie doesn't like.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
It's only natural to do a little background check. You wouldn't just let anyone babysit your kids.
or: Steve Harrington starts stalking Eddie Munson. It might be more than he has bargained for.

In Which Orpheus Doesn’t Die (at the end) by hitlikehammers
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
The world shifts with the downward compression on that chest as he counts the rhythm—
Alongside the disappearance of everything. The screaming, the lightning—gone. Only black.
But worse: there’s no body under his hands. His heart chokes him, merciless—then he sees it.
Not the body he’d been saving, but a body. In a hospital gown. Hair shaved. Young.
“Who are you?” He asks, but it’s…pretty obvious.
“I am Seven. Lucky, isn’t it?”
See: obvious.
Fucking maddening, but obvious.
—
Wherein Steve makes a bet with a game-obsessed semi-sociopathic test subject who promises to heal Eddie (and reveals he and Steve might be destined to mean everything to each other, which: what the fuck?)—on two conditions.
No one can know Eddie’s alive. And Steve can’t be seen mourning a loss that isn’t real.
Cue all the Party™ drama, gut-wrenching confessions into the ether (?), existential breakdowns, mirror-based
sexingcommunication, deals maybe/maybe-not upheld, and all the undying-star-crossed-hope you’d expect from striking a bargain in the Upside Down for the survival of the quite-possible love of your life. -
If I Could Turn Back Time I Would Find A Way by MooseMan

Summary
The ground shook and split as ash rained from the sky. It was over. Vecna had won. The slippery bastard had beaten them at their own game.
And then Steve was somehow back in his bedroom. No explanation, no warning. He had no idea how he ended up back in ‘83, but by god he had three years to try and change the tide and he wasn’t going to waste them. And hell, maybe he'll get to that whole 'thrown back in time' thing eventually.
This is a fair warning to anyone who wants to read. I haven’t actually watched the first two seasons in years and never put myself through three and four. To save myself. Love Robin and Eddie and Erika but it’s just not the same. So if you see something and say hey wait a minute that’s not how it- shh. Hush. Silence.
Spring prose cleaning 2024 complete, I definitely didn't add like 12k words to the epilogue or something, that would be crazySeries

Summary
Steve wished that this was the weirdest thing to happen to him.
Then again, maybe he doesn’t wish that, because it leaves Eddie Munson pressed up against him.

Summary
“We can make a deal. I get you a job at Family Video, with me and Robin. And I can’t make any promises, but I can try to help you study. I’ll be useless with English but I wasn’t completely horrible at math. I do that, and you just have to stop dealing and look out for the kids when they’re at school.”
Munson’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You want to help me get a job and help me graduate?”
“If it helps the kids, yes.”---
A Pre-Season 4/Season 4 rewrite with Family Video employee Eddie, Mama Bear Steve, Vecna-ed Steve, plenty of angst, more than one sexuality crisis, Wayne adopting every sad teen he finds, and a happy ending for everyone (except Jason and Vecna). Trigger warnings at the start of every chapter.

Summary
“What do you want?” Eddie asks, tilting his head to the side. “If you got one magic wish, what would it be?”
For you to come home.
(or: Steve Harrington is losing his mind. He's plagued by nightmares, drowning in grief, and half the time can't tell if he's awake or dreaming. Is it Vecna? Or is it someone sending messages from beyond the grave?)
(or: Steve is the only one who believes Eddie is alive.)

Steve Harrington's Guide To Planning a Party (Without Blowing Up) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
28 Aug 2022
Tags
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.Series

Summary
"What’s scarier than saving the world? Figuring out what to do afterwards. I get it,” Eddie turns on his side, one shoulder on the wall, and grips the front of Steve’s shirt. His face is so close Steve can feel the warmth of his breath. “But we’ve got time now. Right, Steve? We bought us all time. Time to figure all our shit out. Isn’t that what matters?”
OR
Steve Harrington struggles to find purpose after the Upside Down.
(But maybe purpose doesn't have to be big. Maybe it's helping Dustin navigate Sophomore year. Maybe it's reminding Robin to send in college admission letters. Maybe it's Eddie Munson. Maybe).

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
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
The sound of something moving snaps him out of his thoughts. When he turns to see what made it, his chest tightens. Hunched asleep in a chair, arms folded in front of him and head lolled forward, is Hopper. Steve watches as he shifts again, readjusting his shoulders and stretching his legs out in front of him.
