Steve Harrington's Deaths (And The Times He Maybe Saved The World). by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“I had another one.”
It stops the playful atmosphere instantly.
Not everyone tells him when they have a Memento. Lucas had kept to himself, and Will had refused to tell Steve about his dream. Some of them just tell him, softly, I remembered number one-seventy-three, or I had a Memento, last night. Sometimes it’s easier to just mention that it happened, acknowledge it and move on.
And Robin, for the most part, had done this. She hadn’t mentioned the details, because she’s sure that Steve is tired of hearing them, doesn’t want to hear his death from another person’s eyes, another person who is left with his body for a day before the loop dissolves into nothingness.
AKA: In the aftermath of it all, when Steve is learning what happiness means for him, people start to remember his deaths.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

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.

Summary
“But Robin’s right, Steve! We don’t know who his next target is! We don’t even know if there will be a next target– he already has enough people so–”
“What if there was?”
“What?”
“You’ve got music on like a lifeline, you’re untouchable right now. What if…he had a backup?”

Summary
“I’m so glad you’re okay,” Dustin whispered out, voice muffled by Steve’s chest. “I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“I second that. If you ever come that close to death ever again, I’ll kill you myself,” Robin added, voice suspiciously watery.
Steve opened his mouth, but thought better of it and shut it, teeth making a soft click. He simply squeezed them tighter against him instead. He couldn’t tell them. He couldn’t bring himself to ruin the moment, to tell them that he was probably hurtling towards his certain death.
Distantly, he heard a clock toll.
or; fitting Steve getting Vecna'd into canon
(this is a prequel to another fic I'm in the process of writing!)

Summary
Steve gets hurt by himself and the only way to call for help is to radio someone in the party. He doesn’t like asking for help, but radios Dustin anyway. When it turns out to be way worse than he thought, Hopper (an unlikely source) is there to catch him.
