Summary
When Keith returns from the Blade of Marmora, he expects things to go back to normal — or as close to normal as they ever get on the Castle of Lions.
But the team has changed.
And Lance most of all.
When a mission goes disastrously wrong, Keith will have to fight to put everything back together again—
before he loses Lance for good.
“Allura!” His voice cracked, anger bleeding into panic. “Where are you?”
No answer.
Only the soft hiss of water, the hum of the city far above, the broken flicker of dying lights.
Keith rounded one of the stalls—
—and stopped dead.
Someone was standing there.
Tall. Perfectly still. Framed by shattered glass and flickering light.

Nothing Looks The Same In The Light by Pacific_Restless_Sleeper
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
With all the supernatural, inter-dimensional terrors, it's sometimes easy to forget the mundane, real world horrors that plague the world.
Steve goes missing shortly after his parents unexpectedly arrive back home. Dustin rallies what remains of the Party after half their team has left for California to try and get him back. Except this time it’s not the Upside Down, just good old fashioned human prejudice. To spring Steve from the conversion therapy camp his parents sent him to, the Party turns to a new, tentative ally who has some experience in criminal acts, general misbehaviour, and maybe even the very place Steve’s been sent to: Eddie Munson.

Summary
Behind them is their burning car. Gaon had been snoozing a little in the passenger seat, the soft volume of the radio and the smudging of passing scenery through the window, the weight of Yohan’s hand on his thigh. And then an impact like the whole world had exploded. The horrible screech of tires and warping metal, tremors heralding a great darkness.

Summary
“Well,” Trent said, and smiled self-deprecatingly. “He accused me of having an affair.”
“Oh come on now. That’s bull shit.” Now Ted was angry; you could tell because he dragged the word bullshit out into two long pulls, like a mouthful of licorice. “Who the hell would you be having an affair with?”
“Ah.” Trent kept the smile in place. “Well, that’s the part you won’t believe.”

Summary
Steve is in a bit of a crisis. Everyone around him is moving forward with their lives, they have moved out, met new people, and he is still in Hawkins, going on date after date and looking for a connection that he just can't find. After one too many dreams about a dead boy he takes his truck and RV and hits the road, trying to run away from ghosts and expectations.
He never planned for his truck to break down in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania.
He never expected to go look for a mechanic and meet a ghost.Bookmarked by staringintothevoid

Summary
It's not until there's a streak of black running across the lawn, that he realizes it's Eddie Munson's band he's been listening to play. Shit.
Steve doesn't flee, he just waits for his tongue lashing for daring to do whatever Eddie's gonna excuse him of, just for being on the same street. Eddie has hated him from first sight, ranting about jocks and popularity and for some reason, his hair. Steve's never made any move to change his mind. It's useless. Eddie Munson has no give, no bend, it's his way or no way at all.
Best to avoid him whenever possible.

Summary
“Do any of you need a ride?”
The remaining freshmen shake their heads. And Lucas pipes up. “Dustin’s brother is getting us.”
“Ok. Cool.”
Upon opening the doors, all three kids race out to the parking lot, full sprinting to a car with a figure leaning against it. When Eddie reaches the gravel lot, he nearly keels over in shock. Reclined on his trademark maroon beamer is none other than Steve Harrington.
--*****--
Eddie Munson, in his determination to make 1986 his year, gets tangled up in Hawkins' local trauma-bonded family. It's not all bad though.
--*****--
I'm bad at summaries, just read it. It's so fun I promise.

Summary
Somewhere between don'tcha, big boy? and the concert at the end of the world, Steve Harrington falls in love. It goes like this:
They fail the first loop. Of course they did, Steve muses later, blowing someone else’s long, curly hair out of his face. They didn’t know.
Nobody did, the first time. Not even Steve, who would go on to know everything.Or:
Eddie keeps dying.
Steve keeps looping.
He's going to save him.

Summary
Eddie doesn't know how they've gotten to this place where sometimes Steve just turns up like a bad penny, bloodied and hurt, like he's looking to Eddie to fix it.
Eddie can't fix anything. He can't even fix himself.
He can't even graduate high school. He definitely can't fix Steve Harrington's internal or external wounds.
Or:
Eddie finds himself watching, year after year, as Steve Harrington turns up at his place of work, beaten and bloodied.

“Sure, alright,” Eddie agreed. His expression softened, and he rolled his shoulders back, opening up. “I’ll watch your little sheepies for you.”
“Really?” Steve grinned, “Man, that’s awesome. Thank you so much—”
“I just gotta ask one thing,” Eddie interrupted, leaning over the table and closer to Steve.
“Yeah, man,” he said, voice tight. “Anything.”
“Why’d you leave me down there, Steve?”
***
18 months after the earthquake, Steve starts having bad dreams. Which wouldn’t mean anything if it weren’t for the nosebleeds and the headaches. Hearing that clock can’t be great. Then Will feels Vecna getting close, and Steve thinks it might be best for him to sacrifice himself. He’s nice like that.

Summary
“Are you alright?” Steve asks, walking over and glancing down. “Need a hand?”
“It’s fine, just leave me here.” The man in question sighs and shakes his head, eyes still closed as he lays in the middle of the sidewalk.
“I…” Steve starts, looking around at the pedestrians who peer over their shoulders as they step around the scene carefully. “I could, but then when I see a headline later that a man was found frozen to the sidewalk outside Dunkin, I’ll probably feel bad.”
Mystery Man brushes the hair out of his face and cracks one eye open— big and brown— and Steve thinks the guy might start crying.
What the fuck is going on this morning? He wonders to himself.
“Ice is fucking slippery.”
“Yeah, that’s kind of its thing. C’mon,” Steve extends a hand that Mystery Man finally accepts, his gloved hand soft and velvety in Steve’s bare hand.
“Thanks. I’m uh, I’m Eddie.”
“Steve.”
Or, Gym Teacher and Hockey Coach Steve Harrington meets Eddie Munson outside of a Dunkin Donuts. As any New Englander knows, it's the beginning of a beautiful thing.

Summary
It is a horrible realization to have, that perhaps Zuko hadn’t thought this entirely through.
Because Sokka is everywhere.
He is in council, he is in the palace, in the barracks, the merchant yards, the gardens. He is bouldering his way into Zuko’s rooms without a second glance at the guards and dragging him out to go sightseeing, to go to the markets, to lay in the sand and watch the stars.
He is everywhere, and he is beautiful.
Or: Zuko asks his friend to come to the Fire Nation as a new council member, and struggles to survive under these conditions.

Summary
Steve let himself lean the tiniest bit heavier into Eddie’s side, like a plant toward sunlight. His hand slid, slow and unsure, until his fingers found the edge of Eddie’s and curled there, not quite a full grip, but something.
“Thanks,” he whispered, so quietly Eddie almost missed it.
“For what?” Eddie murmured back.
“For… letting me just be–me. I guess?” Steve huffed a small laugh. “That’s so lame. Forget I said that.”
Eddie squeezed his hand, just once.
“Anytime,” he said.

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.
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 who Steve shouldn't have any reason to care about. But no matter what Steve does, every path seems to lead him back to Eddie.
