    Summary

    Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.

    For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.

    Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.

    He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.

    And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.

    Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?

    And why on Earth was he blond?

    Summary

    “We’ll be seeing each other again,” he whispers to him when he pulls himself away. He’s certain he hears footsteps trailing down the hallway, getting closer to Matt’s room. They’re not the footsteps he’d expect, they’re heavier footfalls and not the light clack of high heels he would expect from the date he had with him at the Ball.

    Summary

    It's 1995, and the whole world has moved on from the Upside Down. Everyone except Steve, that is. He's still stuck in the past, stuck in his guilt about all the ways he failed, and most of all, he's still stuck in Hawkins.

    Then he meets a sympathetic stranger and somehow finds himself waking up back in 1983. He doesn't know how he got there or even if he'll be able to stay, but he's going to do everything he can to fix his mistakes, starting with keeping Eddie Munson alive.

    Summary

    Slowly his senses came back to him. He felt himself breathing fast, too fast, and tried to force it to return to a normal pattern. His hearing returned slowly, enough to hear Robin’s panicked voice.

    “…Steve! Steve, talk to me! Steve! Steve, are you ok? For god’s sake, Steve!”

    --------

    Dustin is faced with a difficult choice. When he makes it, he can't help but feel like he's sentenced Steve to death.

    The reality is much worse.

    Stranded far from home with no way back, Steve must work with everything he has to survive and stop an ever-growing threat to a home made unrecognisable by the aftermath of tragedy.

    Starts midway through season 3, major spoilers for the whole show up to then. Written prior to Season 4. Trigger warnings in individual chapters. NOW COMPLETE!
