    Summary

    Meng Shi had seen this coming since A-Yao passed childhood into young adolescence and had taken much more from her than his cultivator father. His face was smooth, with bright eyes and a soft mouth. He had her small stature, her thick dark hair which knotted in the wind, her smile. His father was there in the shape of his face, his nose, his wide shoulders, but no one looking at him could deny, he was his mother's son.

    "What did she promise you?" Meng Shi asked instead. Her son tensed, folding his head into her neck and sniffling.

    "She said she had medicine. For your cough." A-Yao, her sweet boy, willing to trade something that, if Meng Shi had a say, would never be sold. Her son was going to be a rich cultivator under his father, regarded as the prodigy he was, and marry a beautiful woman who will see his unending intelligence and big heart. She would make it so.

    or

    Forced to flee, Meng Yao and his mother find their way to the only sect that would take them: Qinghe Nie.

    Summary

    “Really, you men are all the same.” Huaisang rolls his eyes. “Those are Da-ge’s words. He wants to spend the evening alone with you—”

    “—Huaisang—”

    “—but I knew if I opened with that, you would never come.” Huaisang rubs his temples. “Now I’m beginning to see it was a lost cause from the beginning.”

    Summary

    Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?

    Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?

    (OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)

    (OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)

    (OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)

    Summary

    Eddie Munson dies. Eddie dies, and no CPR, no medical intervention, nothing Steve can do will bring him back. But Steve hears a voice across the Upside Down asking him if he wants to change things.

    He'd be a fool not to say yes.

    Dozens, hundreds of days later and he still doesn't regret his decision. Steve is going to bring all of his friends out of this alive if it kills him.

    He’d never even considered what came after.

    AKA the timeloop fic where Steve wakes up the morning Dustin and Max burst into Family Video looking for Eddie. Again. And again; and a hundred more times after that.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington was a self-absorbed, vapid asshole. So why the hell was Robin still obsessed with watching him when there was nothing interesting about him?

    Right?

    Or: if Steve and Eddie had become friends (and other things) before season three, and Robin watches through her own lens of hating the former jock while recognizing something changed and familiar about him.

    Or the ultimate summary: S3 from Robin's POV, including Steddie.
