Summary
"Shit," he says. Small trembles clings to Eddie's fingers, lingering there, ever-shaking, as if the earthquake that tore through Hawkins continues on through him. "How do you do it, man?" his voice shakes.
"I slept with the nailed bat and the light in my bedroom and hallway on for months, before I was able to get through a night without reaching for a weapon at least once," he says. "When I was finally able to sleep without the bat by my bedside, I kept it in the trunk of my car. I literally couldn't go anywhere without it," he says everything in a steady voice, but his expression is haunted. "I still can't sleep with the light off, and I jump when the electricity blips and the lights flicker."Turning his head, Steve looks at Eddie and meets his eyes. A small smile quirks crookedly from his lips. "What I mean to say is, I don't."
In the days after their battle against Vecna, Eddie slowly comes to terms with everything that's happened and finds a deeper bond with Hawkins resident monster hunters than he ever expected to find. And maybe, just maybe, he can find his way back to shore.

Summary
After Vecna is dead and gone for good, Steve has trouble sleeping at night. Instead of lying in bed and waiting for the nightmares to find him again, he goes to the one place that was once a source of pain.
Or, Steve has nightmares and finds that the piano is just as good at chasing the shadows away, as music ever was in freeing their minds from Vecna himself.

Summary
She wore a red dress. It was not the frayed one she had died in. This one draped across her shoulders and down her body like a waterfall. The fabric was silky and smooth, rippling like waves of water as her chest rose and fell with her every breath.
"This place was beautiful once," Nimueh said, her voice curling softly in the air, softer yet than Merlin had ever heard it. "You would not know this, of course. It was before your time," sadness entered her voice and tinged her words heavy. "I think you would have found it quite spectacular."Two dreams (that are not dreams) Merlin has on the Isle of the Blessed and the two conversations he has with two very different people, who should be dead and on the other side of the Veil, beyond the reaches of mortal men and the words they might have to say. Impossible, yet, Merlin have always been more than a simple man and a simple warlock, and with a power such as the one of life and death, who knows what truly is and is not possible.

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.

Summary
"You know that the second I can get out of this town I’m going to. And I am applying to most of the universities across the country and I don’t know where I will get in – I don’t even know where I want to go yet – but wherever I end up I… I want you with me. I want you to come with me.” She finished.
“Oh.” That clearly wasn’t what Steve was expecting. He blinked a few times but said nothing.A year after the events of season 3, Robin ask's Steve to move with her, Steve has a sexuality crisis, and the party struggles to understand their relationship.

Summary
An unexpected tragedy in Robin's life leads to a strange arrangement to keep her in Hawkins: namely, a marriage of convenience between herself and Steve Harrington.
~
“Nancy. Steve and I don’t engage in anything that could remotely be construed as romantic.”
“I saw you sitting in his lap and feeding him pizza with your bare hands last weekend.”
“What’s a little lap-sitting and pizza-sharing between friends?” she says dismissively.
“Not the norm.” She shakes her head. “If you’re really just friends, that’s fine, but I’m worried Steve won’t see it that way, and, well… I don’t want you to break his heart.”
“Not a heartbreaker,” Robin promises. “It’s sweet, though, you looking out for him.”
“Funny how it seems like we keep trying to set each other up with him,” Nancy offers to lighten the mood. “I guess neither of us really know what he needs.”
“I guess,” Robin says tightly, but she’s pretty sure she’s known what he needs since that night in the bathroom. She’s pretty sure he does too.
