Summary
Hawkins, 1984. Eleven vanished in a burst of light. Since then—nothing. No whispers. Not a single sign from the other side. Just silence—thick, suffocating—as if even the voices on the other end of the phone had finally gone quiet, the dead turning their backs for good.
Steve Harrington is barely holding on. He pretends. He smiles. But the visions grow stranger: shadows in mirrors, muffled voices behind the walls, and that lingering scent of burned electricity. Something is coming back. Maybe it never really left.
Crushed by guilt, haunted by memories that may not even be his, Steve feels reality beginning to crack. And through those cracks, a message starts to take shape:
She isn’t gone. Not really.But if Eleven is still out there… why hasn’t she said anything?
And what if he’s the one slipping away now?
Like a survivor—halfway gone.OR — this story follows Steve Harrington during Season 2, grappling with the loss of Eleven and the eerie silence of the dead. Haunted by strange visions and a growing sense of something lurking just beyond reality, Steve must confront his own fading grip on the world.
This is the follow-up to "Beyond the Static."

Summary
It doesn’t matter that he gets virtually no sleep, or that his grades are at an all-time low. It doesn’t matter that he jumps at absolutely everything and that he thinks he’s going crazy. And it certainly doesn’t matter that his parents are back in town. Non of that matters because life has never been better for Steve Harrington… at least that’s what he tells himself anyway.
-or-
I actually put Steve through hell.

Summary
Steve Harrington is normal, everyone thinks so. Captain of the swim team, starter on the varsity basketball team, most popular boy in school, absolute heartthrob, handsome, and rich. He's King Steve, Steve “the Hair” Harrington. He's an all-American boy growing up in the heartland. And he's spent years working very hard to keep it that way, because the truth is the last thing he is, is normal.
No, Steve Harrington has a dark past he's desperate to escape, however that gets much harder when Will Byers goes missing and Steve just can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong in Hawkins, something that's pointing straight to his past. But everything will be fine, right? All he has to do is pretend everything is normal.
Or, another lab experiment Steve story because I can’t get it out of my head, so I’m sharing it with everyone.
