    Summary

    Three shots ring out.

    Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.

    There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)

    Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

    Summary

    Something about that stops him short. “Wait, his family business was a diner?”

    “Yeah,” Robin says. “My mom hated it. I think she still blames the diner for ruining all our lives.”

    Steve furrows his brow, thinking. Something is starting to sound eerily familiar, but he can’t quite put his finger on it.

    “Here?” he asks, straining his mind in a bid to figure out why this information doesn’t feel new.

    “You might’ve known it, it was pretty popular,” she says, and that’s when his blood runs cold.

    Steve learns that Robin's dad is dead. Then he finds out just who her father was. Then, worst of all, he finds out she doesn't know the truth of his death.

    Or: Robin is Benny Hammond's daughter.

    Summary

    A month ago Steve had decided at the last second that he just couldn’t leave his baby brother out of his sight. Eddie understood, he got it. So he’d agreed to swap out. He went with Robin and Nancy to the Creel house. He’d thrown molotov’s harder than anything he’d thrown before, but it hadn’t mattered. Vecna had crashed through the attic window and disappeared when they went down to check.

    The trudge back to the trailer had been tense and twitchy, only broken when they’d heard Dustin screaming through the treeline.

    That sound was the most terrifying thing he’d ever heard because he knew that Steve would never have let Dustin get hurt.

    So if Dustin was hurt, it could only mean that something had happened to Steve.

    A month later something creeps up on Eddie while he's sleeping.

    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.
