    Summary

    Eddie Munson has a broken beer bottle pressed to Steve Harrington’s throat when the door to the shed splinters and a gun cocks; a familiar chh-chh that resounds loud enough in the sudden ensuing silence that it breaks Eddie out of his death spiral.

    “I ain’t one to mince words,” Wayne Munson says, staring down each and every pair of wide, ogling eyes. “So somebody better tell me why I got a dead girl in my trailer and my nephew’s name on the news.”

    ***

    A short exploration of what would've happened if Wayne had gotten involved at the start of s4.

    Or, everything’s the same, but this time no one is dying

    Summary

    The guys all shot-pointed looks at Eddie, Jeff being the first to say “Eddie has a huge crush on this one NHL goalie.”

    Eddie felt his face slide into a pleased grin as he nodded. “Steve Harrington. Toronto Maple Leafs.”

    The interviewer's eyebrow crooked. “Oh yeah? You a big hockey fan?”

    His mouth opened but Gareth beat him to it “No, you don’t understand. He had never watched a full game before this in his whole life. The only things he knows about hockey is what has to do with Steve.”

    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.
