    Summary

    In the aftermath of Vecna's defeat, Steve is trailing behind the party and helping pick up the broken pieces. It's his job, after all, as the unofficial babysitter to make sure everyone else is okay.

    But who's helping make sure Steve is all in one piece? Because he's definitely not - more concussions than he can count on one hand have left him with a permanent ringing in his ears and a pair of glasses he despises. He wants nothing more than to curl up in his bed and never leave most days.

    Though that might have something to do with the dreams he's been having lately - the one's where he feels so, so loved that he wakes up wanting to cry because in his waking life, he feels anything but. Of course, it would help if he could remember anything else about them. And it would be really neat if the lights around his house would get with the program that the Upside Down is well and truly gone, but Steve's a master at multitasking - he's got the space to ignore multiple things at once. He's so good at it.

    (Spoiler alert - he is not.)
