Summary
A weird feeling hangs over Steve lately, like he’s forgotten something. Other times he feels like he’s been in a situation before, like he already lived it; everything is so familiar. And it keeps happening.
The first time is when Nancy’s friend Barb almost drowns in his pool. Steve saves her, barely, even though he’s tipsy and was off messing around. He feels like a shitty lifeguard who almost let someone die on his clock. That night is also the first time he has sex with Nancy.
He feels echoes branching out from those combined events, after-effects that they can’t control.
Or:
Steve is haunted by an inexplicable pull towards Eddie Munson and by feelings of deja vu after the Upside Down is sealed and Hawkins resets to Nov 6, 1983. Everything that happened is forgotten now by the citizens of Hawkins.Bookmarked by DeepQuotes

Summary
Gareth was hallucinating.
That was the only explanation that made sense. He wasn’t sure he’d ever gone this long without sleeping, so it made sense that his brain had gone a little wonky.
Steve Harrington had just burst into Eddie’s hospital room, reached under the couch by the window, pulled out a bat full of nails, and dashed back out into the hallway.
or
That nightmare of a town hall encouraged people other than Jason to hunt Eddie down. Steve says no, with prejudice.

Summary
"See, the problem is this: in the past few weeks there’s been a distressing increase in the thickness and darkness of the peach fuzz on his upper lip, to the point that it’s becoming noticeable and also gross. He should be happy about it, really, because it’s a sign of manhood, isn’t it?"
Sometimes, not having a dad around really, really sucks. But recently acquiring a big brother does have its perks.

Summary
Eddie leans back an inch, smirk softening into a grin. “Besides, and more importantly, you can’t hide from me, Stevie. I know you’re into that shit. Deep down, you’re a suburban mom just aching to tell me to clean my room, I can feel it.”
Steve huffs something akin to a laugh, overwhelmed by Eddie’s proximity and ability to look into the heart of him. It’s awful, it’s terrible and embarrassing. On pain of death he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Not that deep down, if you ask Dustin or Max.”

Summary
Nancy is pretty sure that she could talk to Jonathan about it. He knows a little something about being the black sheep, and Nancy doesn’t think he would judge her for it. But they’d only just broken up, and while it was a mutual decision and an amicable split, she doesn’t think it would be fair to turn to him so soon after for advice about the feelings she already has for someone else.
She doesn’t have any girlfriends to talk to either. Robin is kind of the first close female friend she’s had since Barb.
And despite this budding friendship between herself and Robin, Nancy can’t turn to Robin. She’s the type to ask a lot of questions, and she doesn’t give up easily. She’ll push until she gets the answers she’s looking for. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but Nancy isn’t so sure she’s ready for that kind of inquisition. Not about this.
Which only leaves one person that Nancy trusts enough with something as delicate as this, one person whom she is comfortable enough to confide in:
Steve Harrington.

Summary
Steve has amnesia after a "house fire" when he was ten. All he knows is what his parents have told him. He doesn't realize that the kids don't know about it, and has some explaining to do.
About a month later, they're doing some digging and Steve discovers that he's been lied to--he was actually one of the numbers, discarded with a wiped memory after the experiment failed. Obviously he freaks out.
They go through the process of getting his powers back, and learn why his experiment was deemed a "failure" in the first place.

Summary
"No, I think I'm okay," she shakes her head. "I just, uh... Nevermind, it's stupid."
"Hey, no," Steve frowns. "None of that. What's up?"
Max pokes her tongue out at him, and he has this weird, almost brotherly urge to screw with her and grab it to annoy her into taking the gesture back. He doesn't, obviously, but the temptation is there.

“Did you know, though?” Steve asked her. They paused in the entryway. Robin swallowed and fidgeted with her heels, which she had taken off upon her arrival.
“Of course I knew, Steve.” She laughed, more nervous than amused. “Eddie hasn’t looked at, talked about, or thought of anything but you in weeks.” She said it as though it was fact. Steve thought it probably was.

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.
