Summary
1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.
Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.
OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

Summary
Vecna is dead. Fried crispy, by all accounts. But that doesn't mean the Upside Down is done yet.
Steve, however, has other problems. Now that the Party made it out with everyone alive, his brain has developed the habit of reminding him that Eddie Munson exists. And that Steve might have a capital 'T' thing for him. A thing that is not capital 'P' platonic. Which he can totally handle. It's not like he'll do anything stupid, Steve knows better. Call him: Steve 'Rational' Harrington.
Maybe he should be thankful that they get a few months to figure out life again before it all goes to shit. Until he gets the phone call that drags him into the thick of it again. But maybe this is the last time. God, Steve really hopes this is the last time.
(OR: A 'what if...' Season 5, where Eddie Munson is a little worse for wear but a-okay and Steve Harrington has time to consider a few things)
(OR, OR: Summer is on the way, meaning movies, pool parties, and a few too many beers... At least until the Upside Down claws its way back, because this is Hawkins, Indiana, and stranger things will always happen)
(OR, OR, OR: The (Second) Vanishing of Will Byers)

Summary
It was 2023 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Steve Harrington didn't know what he was doing with his life. Home from college with a barely passing GPA, recently dumped, and drunkenly careening down a dark country road to the tune of his own misery, Steve was aware that he might be depressed. Therapy would've been the sane solution. But before he could turn around and make that choice, a glowing red hole cracked open in the middle of the road, and he was sent flying through time and space.
It was also 1985 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Eddie Munson had a five step plan on how to fix his life. First, graduate high school. Second, provide a kickass D&D campaign for the nosy little freshman that joined Hellfire. And finally, write more music and go on tour with his band. Okay, three step plan. Absolutely nothing about his plan-in-progress included stumbling across the hottest man he'd ever seen stranded on the side of the road. Or the glowing red portal to hell parked next to him.

Summary
It’s January 15, 1985. Max is in Hawkins, Indiana, 2,082 miles from Santa Monica, and in five hours she’ll be fourteen years old. At fourteen, you can be tried as adult. She knows because Billy’s told her, so many times.
It’s January 15, ninety-five days since the worst thing she’s ever done, but there isn’t any statute of limitations on that.
(Or, Max is miserable, Billy's in danger, and Steve just wants to help. A take on why Max and Billy moved to Hawkins in the first place, featuring too many 80's songs and also a love story, maybe two.)

Summary
Hop said it’s a bad habit he’s gotten himself into, these night drives. Patrolling the town when everyone’s asleep, nobody to ask the question of why Steve Harrington drives circles through Hawkins past midnight every night.
It’s nearing one a.m. and Steve sighs, because—shit. There's a van on the side of the road that wasn't there on his last lap.
He can’t drive off now. He’s already stopped. Already committed, so Steve swings his keys around his finger and sighs again. Opens the car door.
He comes to a stop a few paces away from the van. Raises his voice slightly when he says, “Hello?”
“Fucking—what, hello? What?” comes a voice from the other side of the van. “Who—jesus, if I’m about to get murdered, I swear to—wait. Harrington? Steve Harrington?”
—
Or; Steve patrols the streets of Hawkins every night, looking for monsters. One night, he finds Eddie.

Summary
Eddie snatches up the paper and glances it over. Name, residence – he lives with Buckley? Why would she do that to herself? – previous work, strengths, weaknesses – people pleaser, yeah right – accommodations, blah blah blah.
When he looks up again, Sisyphus, purring loudly, has his full, not-inconsiderable weight pushed into Harrington’s chest, who’s got both his hands petting down his back, fucking cooing.
“Holy shit, I cannot do this,” Eddie says, and then shoves the application back toward Harrington and says, “No.”
or-
Hellfire Books is reluctantly hiring, and Eddie really doesn’t hate Steve all that much in the end.

Summary
Steve glances up, but Munson doesn’t give him much more than a flat glare. He grins with teeth, slouches a little, and his worn leather jacket opens up over a faded tee that Steve can’t quite see the graphic on.
“Buckley,” he says, and then nudges her plate like a heathen. “Got a full moon appetite I see.”
Robin sucks in a breath, eyes narrowed. “Oh wow,” she says. “Shouldn’t you be worrying about your third stint at senior year, Munson?”
Munson’s got an expressive face; he looks very briefly like he’s been slapped, then says, reluctantly, “Yeah, I guess so,” and slinks away.

The one where Steve and Robin are accidentally werewolves because of Russians.

Summary
Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?
Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?
(OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)
(OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)
(OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)

Summary
Munson is and has always been scathing in his disdain for Steve. Dustin resolutely plays it off like he’s just awkward, but Munson’s the least awkward scientist Steve’s ever known. And he’s been in the Stargate program for over four years now, so he’s known a lot.
In some ways, it’s a general hatred for the Man, the military. He scowls at grunts even as he takes his orders from them. In most ways, it’s just Steve.

Steve's just trying to keep everybody he loves alive in another galaxy.

Eddie and Steve are soulmates... in SPACE!

Summary
The Riddler halts. Pauses.
“What the fuck, dude?” He finally exclaims, breaking all melodramatic pretenses and slamming his hands down on the table, “Either listen to the goddamn riddle or let me kill you so we can get this exchange over with!”
Peter nods, “Sorry, sorry, my bad on that one. I finally remembered the word I was thinking of. Here, let’s make a deal this time - cross my heart I’ll keep it - so if I can’t solve your riddle you get to…” Peter gestures, leaving it open ended, and the Riddler seems to perk up.
“Kill you in a blaze of glory,” he finishes, primly, and the melodrama returns as he crosses his legs and re-steeples his hands, “And if you win? I must be fair, after all.”
“Uhh… would you mind telling me where I am?”

Summary
The first time Cody went to war, he was specifically made for it. That meant that no one cared that he was thirteen, that he never saw a paycheck, or that he was, essentially, a product built, bought, and used by the Republic. Cody never got a choice in that war - and he certainly never had a chance. The second time Cody went to war, he made the choice for himself. It did nothing to take away the frustration he felt when he realized that he was, despite everything, still made for a battlefield.
Or, the war still comes and Cody still rises to meet it. A few things change, but far too many stay the same, and Cody refuses to let history repeat itself. He may or may not also figure out who, exactly, Kote is.

Summary
[From Tumblr]: Good cop bad cop but Jim Gordon (the good cop) is passed out from blood loss and exhaustion and Batman (the obvious bad cop) bundles everyone involved (including his kids) into a corner booth at a 24 hour diner and proceeds to interrogate the suspect over shitty diner coffee and the sounds of his kids force feeding Commissioner Gordon apple pie and french fries.
It's the most intimidating interrogation that has ever taken place in Gotham.
(or, the one where May’s Diner has seen everything Gotham has to offer at night. almost everything, at least)

"Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here."
Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past?
Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them?
orPeter's tired. He's so tired, and he doesn't know what to do, but maybe things will get better.

Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
