Summary
December rolls around, as it usually does every year, and Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler are still laid up in Hawkins Memorial Hospital, as they will be for a while—or so Nancy's been told. So it's up to her to look after Holly and Mike, if they'll let her, and deal with the doctors to sort out recovery plans, if they'll listen to her, and clean the house up from that total wreck of a night over a month and a half ago when the world almost ended. And also maybe kind of try to make Christmas feel like anything resembling the stretched out shape of a holiday at all.
Nancy has a lot on her plate. Probably could use something to take her mind off it all.
And Steve's been Christmas shopping anyway, so he may as well look around. Just in case.

Summary
“It’s just that—rabies are like my number one greatest fear, and I think we should probably get you to a doctor, like, really soon because once the symptoms set in, it’s too late, you’re already, like, dead.”
Robin soon learns this is true of other things besides rabies. Apparently, bat bites and lake water make for a very dangerous combination.

Summary
If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.
Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.
Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.
Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.
So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

Or: The one in which Steve has a Dark and Tragic Past™, a Southern accent, and two invisible shithead brothers.

Summary
He’d actually looked the word up in a dictionary once. Idiot. Not too long ago, back when he’d been bored and killing time and— okay also maybe because people kept using big words around him that he didn’t understand, and he wanted to be a little less of an idiot. And so since he had the book on hand anyway, why not look it up?
Obviously, he knew what it meant. He’d heard it over and over. But it was different being told something and actually seeing and learning it firsthand. And so he was curious. Curious like you’re curious about the meaning of your name. This thing that defines you.What does it mean to be Steve Harrington?
What does it mean to be an idiot?
Steve has spent years being the reliable babysitter, punching bag, and emotional support ex-boyfriend. Nancy's been moving forward while looking back, telling herself she isn't about to hit a brick wall. Eventually something's gotta give.A post-non-canon-compliant season 5 story about denial having a short shelf life and that eventually you're gonna have to eat your vegetables. Pretend that made sense.
Featuring: long overdue emotional breakdowns

Summary
Before that night in the Creel House, Steve wrote a series of letters for the Party. “Just in case,” he said when giving the stack to Nancy, hoping they wouldn’t be needed.
More than a year later, Steve is still in his Vecna-induced coma and the Party has read their letters so many times they can probably recite them from memory.
Or: a Steve Harrington-centric Stranger Things 5 rewrite.

Summary
The Squawk had become their cover, their communication hub, their war room. Robin did the actual broadcasts mostly playing music and reading pre-written community updates approved by the military presence in town, but the real purpose was the coded messages. Steve had helped her set up the whole system, spending hours figuring out how to get all the sound effects she wanted, taping things to walls and attempting to MacGyver random things around the station.
That was just who Steve was, but looking around the room now, Robin wondered more and more if anyone else actually saw that.
