    Summary

    He throws the car in park and removes the key before leaning forward slightly to rest his forehead on the steering wheel. The car shakes as the kids scramble out of it, slamming the doors closed behind them. Each resulting WHAM sets off fireworks behind Steve’s closed eyelids.

    He just needs a minute. One minute of silence. Then, he’ll go inside to wrangle the kids and clean up before Mrs. Byers gets back.

    A hand lands on his shoulder and he jumps, whipping his head to see who’s touching him. Pain floods over the left side of his head and down through his neck and shoulders. He presses a hand into his left eyebrow, trying to chase the pain away with the pressure.

    Dustin still sits in the passenger seat next to him. His hand tightens on his shoulder, eyes blown wide.

    “Steve, hey, you okay?”

    Summary

    If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.

    Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.

    Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.

    Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.

    So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

    Summary

    Thanks to a deal struck between her and Hop, El may have the chance to spend the summer outside of the cabin with her friends. The deal? El needs to survive until the summer, with no stupid rule-breaking. And in an attempt to keep her entertained until then, she’ll also be getting two babysitters to keep her company in the cabin.

    Nancy is familiar territory, but Steve is someone all but unknown to El. But he’s nice, and very interesting to observe, El can’t help but decide.
