Summary
Being a demigod was scary, and mostly got you killed in very nasty ways.
The next monster you faced seemed to have all the ways she wanted to end your life written into her endless eyes as you stared up at them. After all this time chasing this formidable woman across the globe, she was finally in front of you, showing just how far she was willing to go to destroy the world. You really wanted to punch her in the face.
You tried to yank against the thick leather straps pinning your arms down to the steel table you lay on. Your fingers tingled, feeling like your whole arms fell asleep, unable to move them. You slowly felt the feeling in your arms drift away and your mind began to spiral, feeling deep panic spread like a disease from your brain to your lungs and to your stomach. Your eyes widened and the woman sneered and chortled, watching your face twist in fear.
You felt your mind darken, your thoughts becoming slowed and sluggish. There was only one thing you were thinking of as your mind went dark.
Steve.

Summary
In the mall parking lot, Steve watched as everyone's families came to check that their kids were okay. Steve figured no one would be coming to check on him—but he figured wrong.
--
"Dustin's fine," he said, not wanting her to worry any longer than she had to. He blinked in surprise when she waved one of her hands.
"I know." She gestured… somewhere, Steve was too busy watching her in confusion to look. "He wasn't in the mall, Lucas told me."
"Oh." Steve shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Mrs. Henderson's face screwed up in a familiar expression of concern. Dustin wore the same one when he was worried about something. "Then what—"
She reached up, hand hovering over his sore eye without touching it. Her other hand rested gently against Steve's relatively unscathed cheek and his mouth snapped shut with a click.

Summary
Parentified children are not given the time, care, love, emotional support, grounding, or security needed to develop and thrive. Without a role model, they are deprived of the opportunity to learn through observation and guardianship. For the most part, they are expected to keep it together and never show signs of distress. If they were to be needy or vulnerable, they are either ignored or sometimes punished. Eventually, they internalize the message that having needs and desires is not acceptable. They become ashamed of their vulnerabilities, and eventually, emotional numbness and self-denial become their second nature

Steve Harrington's Guide To Planning a Party (Without Blowing Up) by Anonymous

Summary
In a way, Steve was kind of grateful for the swift intervention.
He knew now, after all, that most people in the world didn't have the ability to pick out people's emotions, and in a town like Hawkins he wouldn't have lasted long if he commented on every feeling he encountered. It was the reason why despite everything, he had turned out normal, despite all of life's attempts to turn him into something other than a popular somewhat dim-witted jock.And then one day he’d walked into the Byers household and been slapped in the face with the most godawful aura he'd ever experienced in his life, and he just knew he wasn’t going to be coming back from this.
or:
Steve has secret powers, which isn't really an issue except he's now dealing with his unexpected feelings(tm) for one Eddie Munson and suddenly things just got a lot more complicated. Also, he has the nasty habit of blowing shit up when he gets stressed which makes the whole 'secret' part of his powers hard.
The situation is totally and completely under his control, he just has to plan this stupid 'We saved the world (again)' party and he should be fine.
Totally fine.Series

Summary
Gareth was hallucinating.
That was the only explanation that made sense. He wasn’t sure he’d ever gone this long without sleeping, so it made sense that his brain had gone a little wonky.
Steve Harrington had just burst into Eddie’s hospital room, reached under the couch by the window, pulled out a bat full of nails, and dashed back out into the hallway.
or
That nightmare of a town hall encouraged people other than Jason to hunt Eddie down. Steve says no, with prejudice.

Summary
The sound of something moving snaps him out of his thoughts. When he turns to see what made it, his chest tightens. Hunched asleep in a chair, arms folded in front of him and head lolled forward, is Hopper. Steve watches as he shifts again, readjusting his shoulders and stretching his legs out in front of him.
