Summary
“Oh, I just remembered,” Dustin reaches into his pocket and pulls out four rings. They glisten in the wet night air.
He’s been bringing them with him everywhere, a distinguishable weight in his pocket he never leaves the house without. He still has yet to try them on; doing so has always seemed immoral to him. They were never intended to be his, after all. But after months of deliberation, Dustin had decided that if he ever were to wear them, he should at least show them off to Eddie.
He slips them on: index, middle, and ring fingers, then the ring finger on the other hand, the way Eddie used to. They’re a little loose, but maybe he’ll grow into them.
He holds up his decorated hands parallel to the name etched in the headstone. “What do you think?”
—
Or, Dustin’s grief, as depicted through Eddie’s rings.

Summary
“Where are you taking him?” Dustin calls desperately before feeling a boot press hard into his back.
“Shut the hell up, or you’ll get it worse,” a voice snarls above him.
Blind fear chokes Dustin’s heart. They were supposed to have won. They had killed Vecna, saved the children, and destroyed the Upside Down once and for all. They were heroes.
And yet, they had fled from one hell straight into another.
---
After the events of the finale, Dr. Kay doesn't let the party go so easily. And she believes she's found the perfect leverage to make Dustin Henderson, boy genius, talk-- Steve Harrington.
AKA the one where Steve and Dustin are interrogated by the military. Hurt followed by copious amounts of comfort and trauma recovery. This is a love story.

Summary
Dustin would have laughed if you’d told his younger self he’d become a regular drug user. That wasn’t him. The kid who went to science camp. Who was branded a genius. High school valedictorian. He wasn’t the type to go to parties every weekend. Except at eighteen that was exactly what he was doing. Every weekend a different dorm. Drinking because he really didn’t want to be the weird kid again. Drinking led to girls, which then led to boys, who were infinitely better. Which somewhere along the way led to ecstasy.
Except the feeling Dustin had been chasing always felt hollow. Never quite helping the way he wanted. The way he needed. And every single time he ended up calling Steve. Never speaking, just needing to hear his voice.
Until Dustin has a bad trip.
Taking too much. Flying no longer feeling like flying but falling into an endless abyss. Needing Steve more than ever.
~~~~
“Last night... you said you love me?” The words were spoken so quietly Dustin could barely hear them. Phrased like a question and not a fact of the universe. Dustin Henderson loved Steve Harrington. Always had, in one way or another.

Summary
After Steve and Dustin's heart to heart and before the final showdown with Vecna, Steve(and Dustin) both get caught in the trance of Vecna's mind games. Steve is sent to his favourite 'what if' and Dustin follows him there.
'What if Dustin and I met Junior year and were friends in high school?' Steve likes the answer so much he's tempted to forget everything else.

Summary
It’s been exactly a year since the worst day of Dustin’s life, and grief is so terribly mundane that it feels more like home to Dustin then anything his friends can offer.
(or, it’s March 27th, 1987, and Dustin, despite it all, survived a year without Eddie Munson.)

Summary
"What about Nancy?" Dustin asks softly against his lips, and Steve knows he's not asking out of jealousy or resentment, but out of curiosity and a good dose of logic.
It's a logical question, considering how hard Steve was trying to get closer to Nancy, to win back the heart of someone who was never meant to be his... and whom Steve doesn't want to be his, because the person he wants is right in front of him, waiting for something Steve should have given him long ago.
He exhales softly with a small, sly smile, feeling a tenderness that almost makes his chest ache. He breathes against Dustin's lips, barely touching them, not yet kissing them, and as if his voice were touching something sacred, he murmurs:
"Turns out she was just my Tammy."
Or: As they prepare to return to the Upside Down, Steve and Dustin confess their feelings.

Summary

Who, really, was Dustin Henderson?
OR
Dustin decides it’s time to start looking like Dustin again and asks Steve to help cut his hair.
He reflects on what ‘being Dustin’ means.

Summary
“Look, I know I wasn’t on the swim team of the basketball team or the fucking, lacrosse, whatever else there was, but I’m currently the better option as Henderson’s bodyguard.”
“No.” Steve says, and he doesn’t even know why he’s saying it. It makes sense. It’s on his behalf, which is odd in itself. He never would’ve guessed Eddie Munson would be making such a passionate case to save his life. But he can’t let it happen, even if the reasons are stupid and irrational and petty. He’s the one who protects Dustin. So again, for good measure, he says, “No.”

Summary
“I ever tell you ‘bout the time Mike jumped off this cliff to save me?”
“What?” Steve breathes, his footsteps stopping short. Just out of arm’s reach.
“It was that week Will was missing… Troy Walsh and James Dante came after us. Chased us through the woods. We’d just reached the quarry when Troy grabbed me and put a knife to my neck.”
Behind him, Steve inhales sharply, but stays silent.
“Said if Mike didn’t jump he’d cut me. And I begged him not to.”
Dustin palms at his eyes, trying to stave off the tears that threaten to spill over like waterfalls into the drained quarry.
“Asshole didn’t listen."

Summary
Steve has a brief lapse in impulse control that changes everything because he suffers from a condition called “I have no sense of self-preservation unless I’m actively trying to prevent children from dying”itis and unfortunately, it’s incurable.
Luckily, Eddie’s into it.
“Caaaareful, Harringtoooooon,” Eddie said in a sing-song voice. “Trying to fix me is a lost cause.”Steve scoffed. “I’m not trying to ‘fix’ you,” he grumbled. “I’m not delusional.”
“Sure you’re not,” Eddie said in that shit-eating way of his. “You just want me to be a more responsible co-parent for Dustin.”
Steve couldn’t help but frown, hating that he could feel his ears turning red, wishing that Eddie would back up and that he could stop feeling so goddamn weird.
“We’re not - I’m not a parent, co or otherwise,” he said, frowning even harder.
Eddie made a face like Steve was tragic. “Oh, Steve… I thought you said you weren’t delusional.”

Summary
Dustin sucks in a sharp breath, claps his hands together in his lap, and says as straightforwardly as possible, “I’m going back in time.”
Steve doesn’t say anything. His mouth opens and closes like a goldfish. Then, he says, “What, like, right now?”
Dustin wakes up in Max’s trailer the day of Eddie’s death. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times? Three times is a pattern.
Or: Dustin Henderson is unstuck in time.

“Thanks,” Lucas says, taking the letter. His letter. The eye he can open is shiny with tears. “For—bringing this.”
“You been reading to her, huh?” Dustin asks. They’re all there: El. Mike. Erica. Steve, stroking Max’s hair back from her forehead.
“Yeah. They say people can—hear.”
“Wherever they are,” Dustin says. It’s not that a lightbulb goes off. He can’t—he can’t think of it in terms of light. But it’s something. “You’re right.”

Summary
“Hear me out.” Dustin held his hands up in a calming gesture. “I.” He pointed at himself. “Have never kissed anyone. And you.” He pointed at Steve. “Have kissed lots of people.”
Steve looked almost offended at that. “What do you mean by a lot?”

A few questions Eleven asked before she turned eighteen, and one she didn't.
Alternatively: Pretending not to care was never going to be great advice, but giving it to a boy who will answer a question about New Year's Eve with an explanation of the Catholic Church is terrible.
