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
He’d walk through an entire store full of nothing but bows, balloons, and all manner of pink sparkly shit if it meant making those kids happy.
(The summer after El closes the gate, Nancy and Steve help plan her first-ever birthday party and try not to let their own feelings for each other get in the way. They're only partially successful.)

Summary
It’s the weirdest excuse for a sleepover she’s ever been involved in.
(Or, after the events of 2x9, Joyce decides that everyone may as well stay the night. It's sort of a mess, but Nancy expected nothing less.)

Summary
“You know I have come across it before, right? Assigned reading.”
Right. Sure. Back when Steve last graced an English class, the Hawkins High PTA hadn’t moved on to witch-hunting just yet. Book-burning’s, what? One step down?
“So did you read it?”
“No comment.”
Also, during crawl prep last week Dustin heard Nancy and Robin chattering about The Catcher in the Rye and heard Steve hearing, too—an impossibility possible with Steve, who’s a far easier read than the book itself.

Summary
There was a brief pause where Jonathan glanced at Steve and saw his own relief mirrored back at him.
“Ok,” Steve said, “Don’t leave the radius again though- stay in contact. You made sure these things are charged right?”
Another pause, and then-
“Sure did, mom. Over.”
Steve rolled his eyes and glanced at Jonathan.
“Little shit.” Then he replied. “Don’t do anything stupid, either, man. We’re fine here.”
“Copy. Over.”

Summary
Steve looks wide awake, wired. Fingers drumming against his chest. He frowns slightly, like he’s processing Dustin’s words, and then exhales. A soft, Huh.
“I actually, uh, forgot about it,” he says. Laughs quietly. “I guess it’s kinda…” He blows out air from his cheeks and gestures vaguely. Dustin doesn’t point out that his hand is shaking. “Like, flying through time or something, right?” He smiles. “Like the DeLorean.”

Summary
"Yeah, Harrington," he heard Hopper say. "Anytime. It's not easy to be a bruiser in this fight."
I'm not a bruiser, Steve thought to himself. I'm a goddamn kamikaze.
He rattled out some mindless reply, one that not even he was able to repeat. Then he slowly loaded the rest of the boxes into his Beamer and drove down to the high school, tailing behind Hopper. When they lulled to a pause at a stop sign, Steve pressed his forehead to the steering wheel, took a breath, and fought back the urge to drive his car off the quarry cliff.
He didn't know when the switch had happened. When I'd be willing to die for them turned into I'm going to die for them turned into I need to die for them. Once it had happened, however it had come to be, he hadn't been able to shake the pledge. It'd been cemented into his mind. He supposed that was why they called suicide a commitment.
or, unable to lose anyone else, Steve writes a list, ranking his friends by how quickly he'd sacrifice himself for them. 5 times someone finds the list but doesn't realize what it is + 1 time they understand it perfectly.

Summary
“I love you,” Steve says, just as Robin gets halfway out the car.
It’s not what he says, exactly, she thinks, but the way he says it. Or maybe it’s because the last time she heard him say those words, they sounded like they’d been punched out of him back then, too: at Starcourt, his mouth twisting—so ready to laugh at himself—while sirens lit up his face, red and blue.
Robin thinks, just as she did then, you’re hurting.

Summary
“You’re being too hard on him.”
Steve pretends not to hear it. He’s exhausted from staying up all night driving around fruitlessly trying to track Hopper. His head is pounding, his legs feel like they are filled with concrete and his stomach has been knotted for hours. They’ve only got a few hours before Erica shows up to the with her sleepy pie. All be wants to do is have a nap on the SQWK couch, not get berated yet again.
Jonathan Byers, whoever, has never given him a single break. Today is no exception.

something in the woods somewhere by Enderwoah
Fandoms: Hermitcraft SMP, Minecraft (Video Game)

Summary
A strange man appears behind mushrooms out of thin air, sporting facial features that wouldn't make sense on a good day, pointed ears and black eyes, dressed like he's going to a dinner party in the middle of the forest and changing the temperature with his mere arrival.
This isn't a person at all. This is a faerie.
...oh, clouds, he's just taken something that belongs to a faerie. He just snapped at a member of the fae.
[or: mumbo is a little too nosy for his own well-being. luckily, the fae that he stumbles across is more intrigued than malicious and terribly, terribly bored. title from in the woods somewhere by hozier.]

Summary
Steve’s thoroughly grateful that he’s listening to a message, and no response is required—can only stand there, jaw slack, at just how light his mother’s voice is.
“A couple of work things fell through,” she continues with a breeziness that probably means several major ‘things’ went disastrously wrong, work related or otherwise. But it doesn’t sound like she cares all that much; if anything, she sounds excited.
“So I thought we could—well, I don’t know how late we’ll be, but if you’re not too hungry, we could just order some pizza, lazy dinner? Plain cheese for you, right?” The distant ring of a bell on a counter. “Steve, darling, I know we haven’t been—” She cuts herself off with a sigh that’s gone too quickly for Steve to parse.
He hasn’t ordered a plain cheese pizza since he was 12 years old. But she’s trying, he thinks. She’s trying.

Perfect Doll Houses With Porcelain Dolls by Pearlravenlapis
Fandom Stranger Things (TV 2016)
10 Apr 2023
Summary
Snapshots of Steve's life through his life, leading up to Vecna. Honestly, Steve should have figured that Vecna would come for him, he went after people with trauma, Survivor Guilt, Guilt in general and insecurities, and people who where somewhat isolated by their own doing and by circumstance, not to mention people who had suicidal thoughts or ideations, and he had bucket loads.
"Anything I would never want to lose is always lost. It is a given that everything that is worth wanting will be lost the moment I obtain it. There's nothing worth pursuing at the cost of prolonging a life of suffering." (Dazai Osamu) - Thought they somewhat fit with Steve.

Summary
Steve Harrington is normal, everyone thinks so. Captain of the swim team, starter on the varsity basketball team, most popular boy in school, absolute heartthrob, handsome, and rich. He's King Steve, Steve “the Hair” Harrington. He's an all-American boy growing up in the heartland. And he's spent years working very hard to keep it that way, because the truth is the last thing he is, is normal.
No, Steve Harrington has a dark past he's desperate to escape, however that gets much harder when Will Byers goes missing and Steve just can’t shake the feeling that something is very wrong in Hawkins, something that's pointing straight to his past. But everything will be fine, right? All he has to do is pretend everything is normal.
Or, another lab experiment Steve story because I can’t get it out of my head, so I’m sharing it with everyone.

The Minstrel, the Maiden, and the Knights of Hellfire by foundtherightwords

Summary
England, 1139: the civil war between King Stephen and Empress Maud looms large, threatening to tear the country in half. For Ed and his band of traveling minstrels, however, the more pressing matter is how to survive the upcoming winter, now that they were tossed out by their latest patron. When they stumble upon a naïve pageboy looking for warriors to escort the Lady Christiana to safe haven in Wales, Ed comes up with a daring plan - pose as knights, take the job, and collect the reward. After all, how hard can it be? What Ed doesn't count on is endless battles, treacherous roads, marauding bandits, Lady Christiana's pompous fiancé, and his own growing attraction to the fair maiden herself.
