Summary
No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Regulus only wants to get away — it doesn’t matter where.

Summary
After an altercation with his dad, Steve hides away in the pantry in his kitchen and calls for help on the walkie-talkie. Luckily, Eddie is awake and comes to the rescue, stealing Steve away to stay at the Munsons’ until it’s safe for Steve to go back. Steve hates when either of his parents come home to visit, especially when it’s his dad. It feels ridiculous to say but Steve thinks he’d rather face another Demogorgon.
A Demogorgon will smell blood in the water and kill on sight, but Mr. Harrington has a habit of dragging it out and making sure his prey knows they’re bleeding. The monsters under the bed are nothing compared to the monsters down the hall, Steve’s an expert. He’s known for a long time now how messed up it all is, he knows he needs out, needs help, but it feels impossibly hard. It’s normal for him and he’s dealt with it this long, he just needs to tough it out until he can afford his own place.
It doesn’t occur to Steve that he has a plethora of people willing to fight monsters at his side, whether the monsters are from the Upside Down or his own home. With the help of his monster hunting crew, Steve escapes his parents and learns what love is really supposed to be.

Summary
If you’d asked Steve about his relationship with food, he’d smile and say “Fine, I guess,” because in his mind that was the truth. In high school, it wasn’t something he ever had to worry about. He ate regularly (and healthily, because his mother was always pushy about that) and anything excess was worked off during whatever sport he was doing at the time. The fridge was always fully stocked, he snacked like anyone else would, and everything was fine.
It isn’t until after Vecna that things start to change.
As the days go by, he starts to pay more attention to what he eats. He buys more greens and fruit and ugh, celery, and insists that it’s what’s best for him. It’s just to be healthy. He just wants to be healthy.
That’s how it starts, at least, but one comment from Dustin changes everything.
OR
Steve had one line in S3 about “staying in shape for the ladies” and I ran with it

Summary
"...No more money for new clothes, Farah Fawcett, gas in his car, groceries, and the list goes on. The hardest part of it all, is that if he didn't want to rent an apartment, he was stuck handing over money to his parents. And it didn't help that they raised the charge when he started making more at Family Video. Steve Harrington was officially living paycheck to paycheck and it was exhausting.
It's safe to say, Steve Harrington has known what it's like to be broke. For an incredibly long while. He may have a roof over his head, but he doesn't have anything in his pocket to keep himself satisfied."

"He never really talked to me, or kissed me. The sex was good, though. And since that’s all it can ever be with two guys, I suppose it wasn’t too bad.” Steve shrugs.
“What do you mean, ‘that’s all it can ever be?’”

“Are you sure,” he pauses, swallowing thickly. “That - that I can go to therapy, like, even if I don’t have big, big problems? Because - because my mum and dad were nice to me growing up and - and-“
“Just because you had a good childhood does not mean you can’t struggle with mental health issues, Jamie.”

Summary
If you were to ask James what compelled him to pursue his best friend’s brother, he’d be hard-pressed to choose one answer. In his mind, for every reason not to fall for Regulus Black, there were at least ten better reasons to hold him tight and never let go.

Summary
“I guess, it gets tiring.” He says. Regulus hangs off of every word he speaks, watching him as he adjusts his feet on the fire escape. “It gets tiring to be called names, to not be able to understand anything, and to know that I can't do anything about it.” Regulus puts a hand over his.
“I understand.” He tells him. “It's exhausting knowing that there are things about yourself that you can't change. No matter how hard you try. You're just…different.” Regulus says.
“That's what they’ll say.” James continues, staring at the sky. The stars twinkle in his eyes. “They’ll call us different.”

Summary
“Jamie,” Euphemia had said, hand reaching out to cup his face. “You do not ever need to do anything in order to achieve whatever this something is.”
The way she had said it implied she knew exactly what this something was. James did too, but he would never admit out loud that if he didn’t do something, he felt like he wasn’t exactly worth being around, that he didn’t deserve what he had in life. A good family, good friends, good life? His biggest fear was that people would realise he didn’t deserve all that he had, and would leave him.

“Sometimes you two are worse than Regulus and James.”
Evan’s attention immediately snapped towards Dorcas who paused mid bite, “What? It’s true. You’re bickering like a married couple.”
Barty simply grinned, leaning forward. “Our fifth anniversary is coming up isn’t it my sweet Evan? Shall we go on a trip, love? Perhaps the countryside?” He suggested, watching as Evan’s face flushed a pink, bright on his freckled cheeks.

Summary
Sirius always comes back a little...quieter after the summertime and Christmas breaks. The shadows curving his cheeks just a little more shaded in, his silver eyes just a little darker, his stride just a little slower, his back just a little straighter, and his tongue, for once, just a little quieter. This time the other Marauders find out why.
