    Summary

    In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.

    A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning, vivid enough to leave him shaking.

    Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?

    Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.

    Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone Steve can’t quite explain. Someone who feels different than he should, heavier somehow, as if the future itself is pulling Steve toward him. A gravity Steve is certain wasn't there before.

    Summary

    A hazy memory of a child, young and smiling, suddenly screaming and bleeding, until they dropped dead. It was one of the only memories of his childhood Steve had, and it sure didn't paint a pretty picture.

    Years later, Steve was helpless as Vecna tore open a gate between worlds. Then, the child - sibling, fellow experiment - tore through time and sent Steve right back to when everything started. This lead to Steve Harrington, or 'Seven,' having several realisations, suddenly getting several truckloads of repressed trauma dumped on him, and the realisation of 'oh shit I have powers' slammed into his face.

    Now, with so much at stake, he just has to try and not have a mental breakdown over everything. Oh, and also help his sibling save the world.

    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

    But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.

    Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end. 

    Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.

    Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

    Summary

    In the wake of the intense battle, Hopper’s post-Russian resurrection, the Byers' move back to Hawkins, and the group’s gradual recovery, the party decided to have bi-weekly movie nights at either the Byers or the Harrington residence. After the first month of the kids and Eddie arguing over what movie to watch, Steve had decided he had enough, and they started to rotate whose choice of movie they would watch.
    On May 31st 1986, it just so happens to be one Dustin Henderson's turn to pick. The day of, Dusin spends his morning looking through his own tapes and in the process, discovers a banged up and unlabeled black tape. His natural curiosity moves him to pick this as his movie selection as neither he nor his mother can remember what exactly is on this tape.

    Little does he know, this decision will lead to hidden truths being revealed and a complete destruction of how he views one of the most important people in his life.
    ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
    Or in other words, the party watches The Black Phone and Steve Harrington must confront his true self and his past. Also includes integration of how and why this tape exists into the overall world of Stranger Things.
