Summary
After months of sleeping at Eddie's headstone on and off, Steve is wounded while fighting the mind flayer's Demogorgon spawn with the kids. As he goes to Eddie's grave to wait for his death, He is met with the shock of a lifetime.
(TW- mentions of: Steve was probably being harassed physically, emotionally, and sexually by both Billy/Jason (more by Jason, I don't think Billy would have touched him, he actually seems like more of a follower than a leader. He seemed to be the one always searching for validation, especially from adults. In my writing, He never touches Steve like that, but he is physically aggressive as a sort of outlet.) after they found out that he was sleeping with Eddie while on the basketball team, and that's why he stopped playing in season 2. I know people like Jason, but I think he's an insidious, abusive douchebag that they did not explore as a character because he was padded by being good-looking. Chrissy deserved a better boyfriend. Diving into Billy Hargrove, I think he was incredibly traumatized, and also a bad person who did bad things. He was bad, but I think he was a more complex character than Jason. I believe he was abusive in the same way he was abused, and was probably closeted. -

Summary
“Name?”
The nurse looks at him, green eyes equal parts kind and discerning.
“Steve,” he replies quickly, before he can second guess himself. He’s hoping against all hope that this nurse won’t know him on sight—and won’t know Eddie, either. A flash of the haunted look in Eddie’s brown eyes, the memory of the broken bottle against his neck, dispels any lingering doubts about Steve’s decision to lie.
“His name is Steve Harrington.”Or, a post-s4 finale, whumpy tale, where Eddie lives, Steve tells a lie, and the Party discovers there’s more to their favorite babysitter than they previously thought. Oh, and Steve and Eddie totally have a crush on one another. (We'll get there.)
Slowburn Steddie, an excuse to hurt Steve (not sorry), his dad is a POS in this, heed the tags! -

Summary
Dr. Eddie Munson buried his secrets beneath the sterile, unforgiving glare of Hawkins Memorial Hospital. To the board, he was a brilliant, if eccentric, ER resident who practically lived in his scrubs, survived on a terrifying amount of black coffee. To the night shift staff, he was the guy who willingly volunteered for the grueling 24-hour shift rotations that left everyone else hollowed out.The truth was far simpler: eternity was agonizingly boring, and the relentless chaos of the trauma bay was the only thing loud enough to drown out the monotony of his immortal life.

Summary
The first documented case of a Blessed was in 64 AD. Amongst the fire and chaos of Nero's burning of Rome, chroniclers of the event would later pen eye witness testimony of a lone woman heralding people to safety. They said that she pushed back the flames with her mind, opened a tunnel to lead them away from the destruction and pulled a small boy from a collapsing wall half a mile away from where he had been standing.
or
Steve Harrington is a good babysitter, so the author made that his superpower.

But Hawkins has a way of pulling you into its strange mysteries, and Victoria finds herself entangled in events that are bigger — and stranger — than she ever expected. Between late nights, secret discoveries, and the bonds she forms with unlikely allies, Victoria learns that courage isn’t just about facing monsters… it’s about standing up for yourself and the people you care about.
A story of wit, resilience, and quiet adventure, Victoria’s Story explores growing up in a town where the extraordinary is just beneath the surface.

Someone in the Dark by Anonymous

Summary
Michael was always good at directions. Always. Sure, if anyone asked Bill Bray, he would say Michael drove like a demon, but Michael disagreed. He was a perfectly fine driver if he knew where he was going.
That said…
Michael Jackson was supposed to be at the Miami Orange Bowl by six. Instead, he took one wrong turn and ended up in Hawkins, Indiana, with a sprained —or probably broken— ankle, probably concussed, and being chased by something with too many teeth.
Oh, and a bunch of teenagers are planning to kill a baby version of the monster.
No one is ever going to believe his story.
