    Summary

    Not for the first time, Steve Harrington wishes that life was like the movies, that he could close his eyes and skip this part, jump forward to a few days from now when the horrors are over and he’s back to putting the pieces of normalcy back together, like he has so many times before.

    There’s no skipping this.

    Or:

    The Duffers are cowards for skipping s4 aftermath and I’m here to deal with the pain and plot holes.

    Summary

    The Hawkins High parking lot at seven-forty in the morning looked like a frame from a movie Jonathan would never have watched.

    Three POVs. One day. The slow, painful, and unexpectedly tender process of learning how to be alive after you've seen the other side.

    Summary

    Steve tells the kids to stay behind, and goes to make sure Billy isn't still at the house by himself. Just his luck then, that Billy is awake already and pissed as hell. Keeping very consistent with his track record so far, Steve loses the ensuing fight, which is bad news for his already damaged brain.

    The medical inaccuracies tag is just a precaution in case I do get something wrong. Hopefully I don't, given that I've probably spent a total of at least 5 hours researching concussions just for fun, but I'm not a doctor, so I can't know everything. Really, the biggest medical inaccuracy there will be is the fact that Steve doesn't die of a brain bleed...

    Massive thanks to ParrrtyCaptain & Rosy_Toast for beta-reading!

    Title from the song of the same name by Tigers Jaw.

    Summary

    Steve is a giver. He loves to give, to provide, to fulfill— he loves to be needed by people, because he’s been taught that that’s the only way people will love him. That’s the only way people will value him.

    But Dustin, who has never once considered that he only loves Steve because he provides— wants to change this. He has to change this.

    ----------

    AKA Dustin has a dilemma over what to get Steve for Christmas because i love when the conflict is absolutely nothing
