Summary
“All you ever do is hang out with Steve Harrington,” Heidi hisses. She’s not touching her own tray of food, and as nausea rolls through her, Robin wishes she hadn’t either. “He picks you up from school like every day, and Vickie told us she saw you two fooling around together when she went to rent a movie.”
“That’s not fair, we both have to go to work.”
Or: Robin struggles to balance her old friendships with her newfound bond with Steve Harrington.

Summary
“Is that Steve fucking Harrington?”
“What’s it to you?” Mike asks snottily. Max turns toward him, already snarling in protection, but Wheeler’s got Steve’s head cradled in his lap, and he’s got his arms raised like he can shield him from this nameless threat.
“What’d you do to his face?” Eddie demands, almost whining, like Steve Harrington having his face bashed in is an affront to him personally.
Or: on the way to the tunnels with Steve Harrington passed out in the back seat, Max crashes into Eddie's van.

Summary
Eddie had always expected that he would find his soulmate through the snap of a broken guitar string, or the needle burn of his tattoos. Instead, Billy Hargrove breaks a plate over Steve’s Harrington’s head and Eddie finds himself tied to a boy he knows only through the lens of the high school hierarchies.
Almost a year later, Eddie has spent time learning everything he can about Steve - the way he thinks, the things that send him into a panic he can't - or won't - explain, the look in his eyes before he says something heinously bitchy and devastatingly funny. He and Uncle Wayne have found themselves permanent seats at Victoria Harrington’s Sunday Dinners, and Eddie can almost ignore the rabbit pace of his heart when Steve smiles at him.
Except that Steve has gone missing, had bailed on their plans for the Fourth of July weekend without a word and this would be fine, really, except…
Eddie’s getting bruises that aren’t his own and Victoria hasn’t seen her son in days.
While Eddie's injuries get steadily worse, he and Victoria scramble across town to try and find Steve and save him from whatever nightmare situation he landed in before it’s too late.
Project 040 of the Steddie Big Bang 2023!

Summary
Steve jolts awake, staring up into the dull beige of the camper’s ceiling. There’s a distinct brown stain, likely from a leak. The cushion of the back seat is hard against his back, and if he strains he could hear yelling and laughing from the outside.
He wonders if he’s finally lost his fucking mind.
--or, Steve relives the day of the end over and over again.
