    Summary

    Vecna is dead. Fried crispy, by all accounts. But that doesn't mean the Upside Down is done yet.

    Steve, however, has other problems. Now that the Party made it out with everyone alive, his brain has developed the habit of reminding him that Eddie Munson exists. And that Steve might have a capital 'T' thing for him. A thing that is not capital 'P' platonic. Which he can totally handle. It's not like he'll do anything stupid, Steve knows better. Call him: Steve 'Rational' Harrington.

    Maybe he should be thankful that they get a few months to figure out life again before it all goes to shit. Until he gets the phone call that drags him into the thick of it again. But maybe this is the last time. God, Steve really hopes this is the last time.

    (OR: A 'what if...' Season 5, where Eddie Munson is a little worse for wear but a-okay and Steve Harrington has time to consider a few things)

    (OR, OR: Summer is on the way, meaning movies, pool parties, and a few too many beers... At least until the Upside Down claws its way back, because this is Hawkins, Indiana, and stranger things will always happen)

    (OR, OR, OR: The (Second) Vanishing of Will Byers)

    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

    Steve nods toward El, drawing the kid’s attention there. “That’s El, my sister. If you take a look at her wrist, you’ll see a number there. Eleven.” The kid’s eyes widen at that. “Mine too. I have one, just like you.”

    He pushes his sleeve up, unlatches the watch. There’s a special product he’s supposed to use to take the concealer off, but after so many days, it’s flaking anyway. It’s not hard to drag his nails over the fake coloring until the ugly black markings underneath pop up. He angles his wrist, giving the kid a clear shot. He hears his breath catch. Steve’s had too, when he’d read the kid’s number and put two and two together.

    “I have one just like you,” he repeats. Dustin lets the kid raise his own wrist, pressing it close to Steve’s. The two three-digit figures sit there, next to each other, mirroring their twin. Steve sucks in a breath. “You feel things that you shouldn’t, that aren’t yours. None of the scientists know it, but you can change them too. You’re stronger than anyone else can tell. Do you know how I know that?”

    Little Number Seven nods and whispers, “‘Cause you’re me.”


    or, Steve is from the lab. His child self shows up in his living room. This is a problem.

    Summary

    1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.

    Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.

    OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

    Summary

    “I’m usually not a very religious person,” Steve begins, trying not to feel stupid for talking to himself. “I’m not. But… After all we’ve been through, the cracks in our world to alternate dimensions, you’d think that maybe there was also the slightest possibility of something good happening.”

    The chapel is quiet around him.

    “I would do anything to get him back.”

    Or: An AU where Steve travels through other AUs to bring back his man.
