Summary
“He’s dressed like Steve.” Dustin says plainly, monotone in that way he gets when he’s genuinely upset and not just worked up for show.
“Why?” Mike is asking because he still hasn’t processed the ugly fact of the matter, reasonably so considering how bizarre it is to witness someone be so braindead in public, but Lucas would like an answer that addresses the other type of why. Like, why is Conner Marrigan such a fucking asshole?
“Clearly, uh, Marrigan wanted to have a costume no one else would think of.” Eddie chimes in. For once he sounds almost nervous, though Lucas has no idea why. “I figured I’d let you know, considering your allegiance to Harrington and also the general fact that it’s a pretty fucked up thing to do.”

“And what about you, how are you? Are you uh, seeing anyone?”
Later, Nancy will blame many things for the words that come out of her mouth—the wine, Carol, her precarious emotional state—but even as she says them, she knows they will be impossible to take back.
“Actually yeah, I am.”
What has she done?

Summary
He attempts to meld the incoherent thoughts into a statement that he hopes Lucas doesn’t find condescending. “I mean, you’re really young. Being young is about not having to be crushed by responsibilities and shit, you know? I’m not saying you never help out your friends, obviously, but sometimes you just gotta be a kid and let someone older handle some of it.”
“Steve, I’m technically a sophomore in high school now. That’s how old Nancy and Jonathan were when Will went missing, which means I’m only a year younger than you were when you fought the demogorgon.”
Oh, Steve feels nauseous.

Summary
Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.
But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.
That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

Summary
"No, I think I'm okay," she shakes her head. "I just, uh... Nevermind, it's stupid."
"Hey, no," Steve frowns. "None of that. What's up?"
Max pokes her tongue out at him, and he has this weird, almost brotherly urge to screw with her and grab it to annoy her into taking the gesture back. He doesn't, obviously, but the temptation is there.
or, 5 times steve outwardly shows how much he cares for max, and the 1 time max shows steve the same in letter form

Summary
“I can’t see.”
Steve doesn’t know what else to say. Maybe small talk isn’t exactly in his wheelhouse. He settles with, “I know, I’m sorry.”
“I was supposed to go to the movies with Lucas.”
“You still can. Just no silent films, yeah?”
or;
Steve is there when Max wakes up. They talk existential crisis and bravery over a backpack of pudding cups and children's books.

Summary
He cuts her off, “I know, Max.” he says softly. She feels relieved. “Listen,” he says gently, “If you’re ever feeling up to doing something like this again, you let me know. I’ll always be around, okay? Always.”
All of Steve's attempts at getting Max to come back from whatever metaphorical pit she had fallen in become worth it when she finally agrees to get some dinner with him and lets him into her world just enough so they can both pretend like everything is okay.

Summary
The Steve, Dustin, Max and Lucas group means so much to me.
Dustin and Lucas were the first ones to welcome Max to the Party, Max and Lucas have one of the best relationships, Steve and Dustin are practically brothers at this point, Max wrote Steve a letter and after these two Steve is closest to Lucas. Also, the scenes the four shared in season 2 and season 4 are just great.
So, because I love them this series is going to be a bunch of scenes shared between them, maybe in duos, maybe in trios or maybe in the full group. Other characters also is gonna show up, especially Robin.

Summary
The Mayfields moved in across the way, and Eddie saw Steve carrying boxes. A bit weird to see Steve Harrington in the trailer park, sure, but maybe the mom paid him twenty bucks or something to help with moving. Not a huge deal. Then Eddie saw Steve Harrington pull up outside that same trailer in his BMW the very next night, around one in the morning. The little redheaded freshman girl came out of her place carrying a backpack and got into the car, and before Eddie could blink Steve was driving off, and Eddie felt like he might throw up.
Sure, technically it's none of his business, but Jesus fuckin' Christ, the girl can't be any more than fifteen at the oldest, and that’s if he’s being generous. He’s almost sure she’s fourteen. Steve's a grown-ass man, so Eddie would probably be well within his rights to call the cops, but what the hell would he say? Officer, I saw them talking. He gave her a ride. The hell kind of evidence is that? Besides, the cops don't give a shit about anything that happens on this side of town, and they sure as hell don’t give a shit about anything that Eddie Munson has to say. Eddie's gonna have to figure something else out.

Summary
Rosemary Clarke never planned on finishing high school in Hawkins, Indiana. She definitely didn’t plan on living with her nerdy science-teacher uncle, getting adopted by a bunch of overexcited middle schoolers, or forming an uneasy co-babysitter alliance with Steve Harrington of all people.
But Hawkins is stranger than it looks, and normal keeps slipping through Rose’s fingers. Between Dungeons & Dragons nights, suspicious happenings no one can explain, and one ex–golden boy trying very hard to be better than he was, Rose finds herself building a new life out of grief, bad jokes, and late-night car rides.
There is too much hairspray, cryptic small-town mysteries no one quite wants to name out loud, and two reluctant babysitters who keep ending up on the same side of things. Rose and Steve are determined not to talk about the way they fit together in a crisis… or the quiet, inconvenient feelings that start growing in between monsters, math homework, and middle school dances.

Summary
Steve will never get used to the abrupt veer into normalcy his life takes after something from the Upside Down comes chasing them down.
One minute it’s the crack of his bat and the kids screaming and the need to protect, protect, protect, and then he’s standing in the dark in the foyer of his empty house, alone.
The bat is back in his car. He has a shift at family video in a few days. It’d be unbelievable if it weren’t the fourth time he’s been through it and he didn’t know what to expect by now.

Summary
“I’d, uh… offer you coffee but…” Steve glanced sceptically at the two old pots that Steve had made the mistake of drinking a coffee from on his first day to discover that the granules were so old and stale that they didn’t fully dissolve in water that barely got above lukewarm. “…Don’t drink that.”
Max nodded sagely as she sat down on the only chair in the room, a hard plastic chair with a back in immediate peril of falling off. Steve let her get as comfortable as she could as he dug the bright red first aid kit out of the back of the cupboard. He opened it up, looking for… what worked on bruises again?

After Neil leaves, Max comes to Family Video. She and Steve have a long conversation about Billy, as Max finally reckons with everything that happened in Cherry Lane.Bookmarked by temporarystatus

Summary
She braces herself and waits for the barreling pity of ‘how are you doing, sweetie?’ that everyone had grown so fond of since she was little as he sits beside her on the car's hood.
Only it never comes.
Instead, she’s greeted with the unflattering sound of a snort. “Get a load of these two.”
After the comedown from her first run-in with Vecna, Max grows quiet as she processes her feelings. Steve takes it upon himself to help turn things around in the way that... only Steve Harrington can.
