    Summary

    For a moment he’s tempted to spill - to tell Hopper that tonight he dreamt about those fucking tunnels, and that the Demodogs that ran past him in reality barelled straight into him in his dreams, and they leapt on to Dustin first and tore into his guts whilst the kids screamed and wailed above him whilst another Demodog charged headlong towards him—

    “I’m fine, Chief,” Steve says. In the reflection of the window, he can see Hopper has finally taken off his hat. “You know I’m fine, really.”


    Hawkins, Indiana. It's 1985, and it's been four months since they saved the world. But it wasn't enough... closing the Gate wasn't enough. Something's breaching through. Something is fighting to be let loose, and Hawkins - or, more specifically, Steve Harrington - is in some deep shit.

    As if he wasn't in enough already.

    Basically: How Steve becomes a member of the Party, and how he learns to forgive himself.

    Summary

    Billy Hargrove doesn't keep his promise to Max. He doesn't keep it in a pretty spectacular fashion, actually. Instead of staying away from her friends, he murders one of them.

    Unfortunately for Billy, Hellfire meets right after basketball practice. And fortunately for Steve, Eddie knows CPR.

    (Or: There is a clearly defined set of steps to keep someone's heart beating. There's no guide for the aftermath. Steve, Eddie, and everyone they love write one together.)

    Summary

    Something is wrong with Steve Harrington... hell, if anyone can pinpoint just what though.

     

    Steve Harrington dies with a plate to his head at the age of 18. It’s not the plate that does it, but the plate certainly helps the process along.

    Summary

    Bumped to the lowest step on the social ladder after his fight with Billy, Steve gets roped in with the cheer team. What starts as a favor to help them out when one member breaks her leg in turn for protection from the brunt of the bullying, sets the universe on a different path.

    He befriends Chrissy and grows as thick as thieves with her. Over the summer he adds Robin to his friends as well. Meanwhile Eddie seems to have taken an interest in the fallen king, but Steve can’t figure out quite yet why Eddie is talking with him. Flirting with him?

     

    AKA a rewrite from after season 2 till after season 4 where Chrissy survives and Steve and Eddie get together that explores Steve's fall to the bottom of the social ladder and the what if he was gay and knew.
