Summary
In the suffocating ash of the Upside Down, Steve Harrington made a choice: he became the wall between a falling nightmare and the kids he swore to protect. He took the blow no one saw, carrying a lethal secret back to the light of Hawkins.
The victory is hollow. As the group stands in the cool night air, the silence is shattered by the sound of the "King" collapsing, his life pouring out onto the forest floor. Now, the strongest man they know is a ghost in a hospital bed, trapped in a brutal struggle for air that he is losing.
While Dustin clings to the blood-stained remains of a hero’s promise and the group falls apart in the sterile shadows, Nancy Wheeler refuses to say goodbye. Armed only with a love she waited too long to admit, she must anchor Steve to this world before the darkness finally pulls him under.
The mission is over, but the real fight for survival has just begun. -

Summary
“Uh, Nance?”
His anxious voice brings her back to reality. This isn’t a proposal to do… anything. Just a trip. With some of the kids.
“That’s… very sweet, Steve,” she starts, and winces because it already sounds like a negative to her own ears. “Won’t, uh, Jennifer mind?”
“Jessica,” he corrects quickly. “And, hum, I don’t think so. We broke it off like three months ago, actually.”
*******
Or: the one where Steve invites Nancy on a summer trip with three nuggets and they try (and fail) to pretend they don’t still have feelings for each other.

Summary
A lot of things change, some things don't. Vecna is gone, Hawkins is destroyed. People have died. But at least it's over now, right?
Trying to create a new "normal" comes with undeniable realizations of what has truly never changed through it all.
Or, season 5 at least the finale- can take a hike. This is a Stancy fic, fight me on it. If you love Jancy at least take small comfort that I don't make Jonathan a total piece of shit.
