Summary
Steve wakes up battered and bruised in the back of his car missing memories of the last two days. He now has to deal with the life altering consequences of that weekend. But with the help of his chosen family (and a certain longhaired metal-head) he might be able to get there.
A hurt comfort fic that focuses on recovery from something horrific and unforgivable and finding that the family you need is sometimes already there for you. Even if you have to deal with annual apocalypses.
It’s also a romance.
------------------------------------------------
TW: The rape is absolutely NOT explicit and not romanticised in any way. Steve’s thought and emotions regarding it are discussed and his road to recovery and dealing with the consequences are discussed. Explicit rating is for Steddie scenes later.

Summary
"When Steve wakes up, it’s to the sharp, piercing sensation of a migraine attack. He immediately closes his eyes and groans. His senses are heightened miserably.
Soft bird song is like screeching. The gentle rustle of tree leaves like the scrapes of fingernails on a chalkboard. (And god does he know that from working with a bunch of butthead eighth graders.) Any sunlight is like a laser aiming to obliterate him onsite. He’s warm and boiling and the blanket sears where it touches. But when the removes it, he’s frozen to his core and shivering. The dull sounds of Eddie’s snores—Steve almost wants to suffocate him; he may not usually be a motorboat, but wow does he mimic one amazingly right now."

Summary
Six months after Starcourt, Steve's head decides it's had enough. Between the Russian interrogation, the multiple concussions, and Billy Hargrove's fists, something's broken in a way that won't heal—and in 1985, nobody really knows what to do about it.

Summary
Panic tastes like metal.
It's thick and suffocating.
It lives in Steve’s mouth, his lungs, his memories—cold Russian steel, demo-bats, red lightning and hands that had beaten him relentlessly. The nightmare don’t stay in the past. This trauma follows him, making him wake into breathless fear and a body that forgets how to breath.
But safety smells like Billy.
Who's carries the heat of the California sun and who holds him with steady hands through the worst of it. And coaxes air back into his lung with patience and quiet praise, all while Eddie sleeps beside them, heavily medicated, bandaged, healing, and breathing.
And when the morning comes, the proof of their warmth and love will always chase away the cold of the Upside Down and the fear of its darkness taking those he cares about with it.
——
(Also Billy calling Steve every pet name he can.)

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station.
That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.
