    Summary

    “Steve?” Eddie interrupts again. Steve casts a glance in his direction, but Eddie is looking past him at the television with hazy eyes.

    “Yeah, I’m here.” Steve jostles his foot gently and gestures for the doctor to continue talking about fluid levels. By fluid, he’s pretty sure she just means blood. The blood that Eddie was coughing up, he figures. It had to go somewhere, so they must’ve drained it the same way they drained all the leaking air from Max’s lung. Maybe. He hopes Eddie’s uncle gets this stuff better than he does.

    “Don’t you live in Loch Nora?” Eddie asks just as the doctor is opening her mouth to speak again. Steve builds up to a sigh, unsure how exactly to tell Eddie to shut up when it’s not even his fault that he can’t, before he realizes Eddie’s gaze is still glued to the TV.

    Summary

    May 31st 1986, two weeks until graduation. Robin, Eddie, and Nancy are all set to walk across the stage, Eddie being given a free pass after the whole ‘almost framed for murder’ thing. The three have been trying to be excited about their graduation, but it feels almost mundane to be excited when Steve wouldn’t be there. They would be sat out on a football field in the blistering heat while waiting for their names to be called, with Dustin and Max in the crowd, cheering them on in Steve's place. There would be fake smiles plastered to all their faces, no matter how realistic they tried to make them.

    None of them have genuinely smiled since Steve got Vecna'd.

    Sixty-Five days. Steve had been in a coma for Sixty-Five days. The doctors keep telling The Party that it doesn't look good, that Steve's injures had been severe, and that they didn't know if, when, he would wake up.

    But they refused to lose hope.

    He'll wake up.

    It's just a matter of time.

    OR

    Five times Steve Harrington didn't wake up, and one time he did.

    Summary

    It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.

    OR:

    Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    1973
    Before Eddie Munson was The Freak, he had another name shouted at him by his peers: Crow Boy. New to Hawkins after his mother's death, Eddie struggles to find friendship at the local elementary school. He finds himself being ridiculed for spending recess alone, finding shiny lost treasures on the school yard. An unlikely friend joins his side for a brief while before leaving him all alone again.

    1986
    Steve Harrington doesn't have the best memory. Turns out, getting concussions is pretty damn bad for your brain. He forgets bits and pieces of old memories that return whenever they please. There's something about Eddie Munson that he can't quite place... Until he does. It seems some apologies are in order.

    Time has changed them both, but deep down inside they're still the same boys from thirteen years ago. Though, friendship might not be the only thing to arise from their reunion.

    Summary

    “Sure, alright,” Eddie agreed. His expression softened, and he rolled his shoulders back, opening up. “I’ll watch your little sheepies for you.”

    “Really?” Steve grinned, “Man, that’s awesome. Thank you so much—”

    “I just gotta ask one thing,” Eddie interrupted, leaning over the table and closer to Steve.

    “Yeah, man,” he said, voice tight. “Anything.”

    “Why’d you leave me down there, Steve?”

    ***

    18 months after the earthquake, Steve starts having bad dreams. Which wouldn’t mean anything if it weren’t for the nosebleeds and the headaches. Hearing that clock can’t be great. Then Will feels Vecna getting close, and Steve thinks it might be best for him to sacrifice himself. He’s nice like that.

    (my season 5 fix it. make it steddie with a dash of byler)
