a long cold war (with your kids at the front) by voidedfalling (Pterodactyl)

Summary
Four more people come stumbling through the doors - a short-haired girl in camouflage with a kid wearing what looks like the top half of a ghillie suit on her back, the kid hollering at the top of his lungs for a doctor like he’s on the brink of death. The reporter grabs the short-haired girl, stopping her from running directly into a frozen onlooker because she’s busy looking over her shoulder at a boy in a leather jacket right behind her, his face pulled tight with pain as he carries a limp, unmoving body, their head tipped back, pale face smeared with blood in the unforgiving halogen lights -
“Help him!” the kid is screaming, “Somebody, please -”
Oh, Wayne thinks, oh, oh, oh.or; wayne munson finds himself at hawkins memorial on march 27th.

Summary
Nancy reached out, brushing Steve’s hair from his face. She had to keep reminding herself that he wasn’t hers anymore. She’d ended that, tonight actually. Though, if she was honest, it had ended a long time ago.
Maybe, in a way, it had never really been anything. Another attempt in her long and storied history to be noticed for something other than her grades, her nice clothes. Another accidental fall into the same tired cycle the women in her family had been playing out for generations. Cute boy, good family, marriage, kids and a house with a station wagon out front. And she’d wanted it, she really had.
She wanted to love him, especially since he’d changed. She just…couldn’t. Not like that, not like he needed her to. His words from earlier tonight echoed in her ears.
"I may be a pretty shitty boyfriend…"
Yeah, she thought, you were. Sometimes. But I wasn’t much better.
...
Or, Nancy takes a turn hiding someone in the basement.

Summary
But maybe Steve’s tired of Robin always haranguing him, so he relents. Because he’s Batman with a squad of Robins—and Batgirl, he supplies when Robin shoots him a look—and because he spent so much time cleaning out Jimmy Fast Hands’ bathroom that he needs to make all that effort worth it.
“That’s just sunk cost fallacy, man,” Dustin says to him. “And if you’re worried about a gate opening in your pool, may I remind you that the sidewalk right outside of the station split in half, revealing the fiery and somewhat dead depths of the Upside Down, which was why Jimmy Fast Hands beat it—”
Steve just flaps a hand at him. It could mean anything from quit your yapping (except then he’d press his fingers together, and he didn’t) to come give me a hand, and it’s usually the latter, but Dustin doesn’t want to give in.

Summary
“Spoke to Eddie,” Steve offers sort-of casually. He’s not even really sure why he says it, but he’s too exhausted to keep his mouth shut, and that on its own isn’t really such an incriminating statement, he figures.
Robin raises an eyebrow, more suspiciously than he’d like. “When was this?”
“Day before yesterday.”
“And?”
“He says I should go through with El’s psychic brain surgery thing. Said I should do it and that whoever it is isn’t worth dying over.”
She stares. “He said that?”
“Yes, Robin,” Steve sighs.
“Was this before or after you told him it was him?”An aromantic take on hanahaki and a life worth living.

Summary
“Steve?” Eddie interrupts again. Steve casts a glance in his direction, but Eddie is looking past him at the television with hazy eyes.
“Yeah, I’m here.” Steve jostles his foot gently and gestures for the doctor to continue talking about fluid levels. By fluid, he’s pretty sure she just means blood. The blood that Eddie was coughing up, he figures. It had to go somewhere, so they must’ve drained it the same way they drained all the leaking air from Max’s lung. Maybe. He hopes Eddie’s uncle gets this stuff better than he does.
“Don’t you live in Loch Nora?” Eddie asks just as the doctor is opening her mouth to speak again. Steve builds up to a sigh, unsure how exactly to tell Eddie to shut up when it’s not even his fault that he can’t, before he realizes Eddie’s gaze is still glued to the TV.

Summary
He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.
Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.
Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.
She turns the keys.
"Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"
"Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.
-------------------
After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

Summary
"How'd it start for you?" Eddie asks.
Steve sighs and gestures to the pool with his cigarette. "Right here," he says. Eddie tilts his head, uncomprehending. Such a tiny gesture, yet it makes something in Steve cringe, knowing what it means.
"Has anybody told you about Barb?" he asks. Eddie shakes his head.

Summary
“...Dustin was being very mean,” El says cautiously. Her eyebrows are knit together in that way that always makes Max want to hold her and tell her it’ll be okay.
“He’s been weird, since… everything.”
Lucas thinks that he’ll calm down once Eddie is back on his feet. Max thinks that he’s being a selfish little drama queen, but she doesn’t really have a leg to stand on when it comes to self-pitying bullshit, so she’s been biting her tongue.
“That doesn’t mean it’s okay to… talk to Steve like that. Like he’s stupid.”
“Well…” Max tries to joke, and El glares. “Sorry.”
“You were not helping.”
Max puts down her hairbrush. She’s… maybe also been weird. Since everything.

Summary
Steve's feet stumbled more than walked, but Hopper didn't care. He half-carried, half-dragged the kid toward the emergency room doors, his jaw clenched so tight it ached. Every step felt like it took too long.
As the two of them started to slowly stumble to the front of the ER, Hopper took a brief moment to think about it. Took a moment to think how despite everything—despite barely knowing the kid, despite all his preconceptions and assumptions, despite the amount of times Steve had purposefully acted like a smart-ass punk just to piss him off—Hopper had realized something tonight:
Steve Harrington was a good kid.

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station.
That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.

You can put it all on me, you can laugh and you can bleed by steveharringtoned

Summary
Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.
But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.
That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

"Steve," he corrects.
"Steve?"
"I saved your life. Least you can do is call me by my name," he shrugs.
And Eddie laughs.
And Steve just thinks oh. Oh fuck.
(Or, Eddie is Steve Harrington's almost.)

Summary
Now that Steve’s not bathed in the otherworldly light of the Upside Down, he looks fucking awful – nothing at all like when Dustin last saw him on the shore of Lovers’ Lake – and when Dustin grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him back down against the mattress, Steve doesn't put up a fight, which honestly does not make Dustin feel any better.
Or: It’s strange how fast things started to spiral once Steve began going on dates again, looking for that one perfect girl, and Dustin joined up with the Hellfire Club.
Or: In which two idiots have a long overdue talk about their feelings (or come as close to talking about their feelings as two idiots can manage).

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Steve glowered as Tyler Monroe stepped up to the stage, the last M to receive their diploma. Eddie Munson's name brushed off the page like eraser shavings.
In a sea of green, there were too many faces missing. This wasn't right.
"You know what, Wheeler. I couldn't agree with you more. This is bullshit."
