“You were the King of Hawkins High -- what have you ever lost, huh?" snapped Jonathan. "A little sleep? Your fucking prom king title? Give me a break. I’m sick of you acting like you know what we’ve been through, you weren’t even there when it started!”
Steve stood up. “Shut up, Byers.”

Summary
Clancy of Dema was born to die. His purpose was determined by the knife placed into his infant hand, promised to the priests of Vialism that rule the Sacred Municipality, like all others who shelter within its walls. He does not fear purpose. Why would he? Life's kingdom is nothing but grey walls and a certainty that he will always be incomplete.
There are poems written on his bedposts. Melodies turning over in the bus engines. Choruses whispered in his footsteps. They, too, are incomplete, but they are anything but grey. The hum of wonder haunts Clancy.
And beyond the walls of Dema shines a yellow star.

Summary
That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

Summary
Steven Harrington was 3 years old when he saw Dr. Brenner for the first time, he was 12 when he saw him last.
Steve had known about Eddie Munson since he started High School, did he know Eddie? Well, of course not. But the big hair and even bigger attitude are hard to miss.
He has always wondered what it must be like to be like Eddie, not different, not a freak -because he was those things too- but what it must be like to be shamelessly different, to proudly be a freak.
After getting his ass beat by Jonathan, he had finally decided he didn’t want to wonder anymore, he wanted to know.Bookmarked by KetsuKetsu

Summary
Steve Harrington hasn't been able to sleep in he doesn't even know how long. His dreams are plagued by memories of the Russians, nearly dying alone in the Upside Down, and Eddie's own close encounter. Not to mention the ringing and fuzzy hearing in his left ear isn't helping his jumpiness.
Needing to see Eddie's okay and in a fit of sleep deprivation, Steve turns up at Eddie's home who can't help but bring him in and sees how bad Steve really has been. And of course he'll find any way to help him no matter how much he says he doesn't need it.

Summary
Steve hasn’t been sleeping. The panic attacks are getting worse, the ringing in his ears won’t stop, and he can’t look in the mirror without seeing what the Russians did to him. So he does something he never thought he’d do—he shows up at Jonathan Byers’ door asking for weed.
What starts as a desperate attempt to quiet his mind for a few hours turns into something else entirely: an honest conversation, a vulnerability he didn’t know he was capable of, and maybe, finally, the understanding that he doesn’t have to carry his trauma alone.
tl;dr: Steve Harrington shows up at Jonathan Byers’ house with a lie about wanting to try weed “for fun.” Jonathan sees right through it.

Summary
Steve was still adjusting. Definitely not quite back to normal – probably wouldn’t ever be normal again, if he were honest with himself – but he was on his way to something normal adjacent, and that had to count for something.
OR:
As Steve navigates the complicated twists and turns and backslides of recovery, he slowly learns what it's like to have people he can rely on. It's a novel concept.

After the first month of the kids and Eddie arguing over what movie to watch, Steve had decided he had enough, and they started to rotate whose choice of movie they would watch.
On May 31st 1986, it just so happens to be one Dustin Henderson's turn to pick. The day of, Dusin spends his morning looking through his own tapes and in the process, discovers a banged up and unlabeled black tape. His natural curiosity moves him to pick this as his movie selection as neither he nor his mother can remember what exactly is on this tape.Little does he know, this decision will lead to hidden truths being revealed and a complete destruction of how he views one of the most important people in his life.

Summary
The party just wanted to have a normal movie night. Just like all movie nights have been for the last couple of months, but something had to go wrong. Again.
Is it the upside down. Or something else entirely?Steve’s not sure, but this is definitely bad, like really bad. Not only is this an invasion of his privacy, this tape has footage of the stuff that happened in ‘78. Stuff that is definitely way more important than to label as just Stuff.

Summary
“Okay.” Steve buries his head in his arms face down on the coffee table in his basement. “Okay. A major lab incident I can get behind. Shit, the kid going missing I can understand. But what the hell do you mean there are monsters now?!”
“He didn’t say monsters,” Paperboy rolls his eyes, which looks really funny since he is doing a headstand against the wall. “Don’t be dramatic, Finney.”
“Griffin said the words ‘slimy tentacle vines of unimaginable cosmic horrors’” Steve deadpans, still face down.
“That doesn’t immediately mean monster.”
-
Steve Harrington has heard the phone ringing ever since he got out of the basement. Moving to Hawkins, Indiana didn't do much to change that.

Summary
Steve’s sprawled on the cushioned floor opposite Robin, feet hanging out the back of the van when guitars start playing. It’s almost dreamy, though the guitars are soon joined by something deeper, a cello maybe, and they morph into a slow and sad melody. Steve throws Eddie a look where he’s next to Robin, perched over his rickety lunch box, expertly rolling a joint. He has ditched his jacket; the bats tattooed close to his elbow dancing in the gloomy light.
“Wait for it,” he says without looking up.
Steve waits for it.
Until the melancholic vibe shifts into something a bit faster and decidedly more rhythmical with drums and a bass setting the pace.
Something perfect to get high.
Steve’s head starts bobbing on its own accord and he pretends not to notice Eddie’s satisfied grin.
—
Steve's future is— Yeah, fuck if he knew. Because he's stuck working in a shitty video rental store and soon he won't even have his best friend with him anymore, and he lives in a silent empty house and he's gonna be very fucking lonely.
Except, well, there's also Eddie. And they might actually be becoming friends. Or maybe they already are.

Summary
Despite what everyone else thinks, Steve Harrington is not stupid. He cares, he notices. Steve always shows up because so one else will.
Enter Eddie Munson.
So when Steve notices how seamlessly Eddie fits in after everything he can't help but be a little jealous.
Because why is Eddie so good with the kids, and Robin, and reducing Steve to awkward chatter?
And most importantly why is Steve so jealous of it all?
