Summary
Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.
For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.
Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.
He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.
And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?
And why on Earth was he blond?

Summary
The world is ending. Hawkins has fallen. The Upside Down has won.
Months after the invasion, Steve Harrington is one of the few left alive, stuck inside a military compound with the remains of his broken found family. Every day is a fight for survival, a fight to push back the creatures that have destroyed everything.
And then it all goes to hell.
A routine supply run turns into a massacre. Steve barely escapes with his life, taking shelter in the last place he ever wanted to be—the Creel House. Fueled by grief, anger, and the unbearable weight of everyone he’s lost, he destroys the grandfather clock that once haunted Max Mayfield’s visions.
And time shatters.
When Steve wakes up, Hawkins is intact. The world hasn’t ended. But something is wrong. The date is November 6, 1983. Will Byers has just gone missing. And Steve Harrington might be the only one who can stop the end of the world before it even begins.
But changing the past comes with a cost. And as Steve soon realizes, just because he’s gone back in time doesn’t mean things will turn out better. Some things can’t be fixed. Some things were always broken. And some things—if messed with—can break even worse.

Summary
The night of the Snowball, Steve realizes he doesn't want to be alone for Christmas. The only way he can make that happen, however, is to apologize to his aunt, and go see his mom. It's been three years since the argument that made Steve stop visiting. He figures it is about time he finally saw her, even if she kicks him out for good. His mom hasn't changed, but his Aunt Becky is certainly surprised to see him.
Or: Steve is the son of a long-since divorced John Harrington and Terry Ives, and he believed his mother had a miscarriage and went crazy.

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.
