Summary
When a madman with superpowers makes a mistake, it’s always catastrophic.
Henry Creel’s first was underestimating Eleven. His second is targeting Steve Harrington when the Party enter the Upside Down to make a final stand.
Under Vecna’s assault, a wall in Steve’s mind cracks, exposing a secret he never knew he carried; one that could turn the tide against Creel and his monsters.
Now Steve must gather the shards of himself and do what needs to be done. If he succeeds, it may be the edge Eleven needs to end this once and for all. If he fails, the fallout won’t stop with him.

Summary
Steve nods toward El, drawing the kid’s attention there. “That’s El, my sister. If you take a look at her wrist, you’ll see a number there. Eleven.” The kid’s eyes widen at that. “Mine too. I have one, just like you.”
He pushes his sleeve up, unlatches the watch. There’s a special product he’s supposed to use to take the concealer off, but after so many days, it’s flaking anyway. It’s not hard to drag his nails over the fake coloring until the ugly black markings underneath pop up. He angles his wrist, giving the kid a clear shot. He hears his breath catch. Steve’s had too, when he’d read the kid’s number and put two and two together.
“I have one just like you,” he repeats. Dustin lets the kid raise his own wrist, pressing it close to Steve’s. The two three-digit figures sit there, next to each other, mirroring their twin. Steve sucks in a breath. “You feel things that you shouldn’t, that aren’t yours. None of the scientists know it, but you can change them too. You’re stronger than anyone else can tell. Do you know how I know that?”
Little Number Seven nods and whispers, “‘Cause you’re me.”
or, Steve is from the lab. His child self shows up in his living room. This is a problem.

Summary
Like most July days in Indiana, the day of Steve Harrington's funeral dawned hot and muggy. His parents had flown home to organize the ceremony, and they stood outside the church to receive condolences from funeral attendees, dabbing at their tears with designer handkerchiefs. Steve hadn't attended this church for anything except the Christmas services his parents dragged him to since he got his first hangover. “He had so much potential,” Mr. Harrington said, over and over again, and the line of mourners murmured, “We'll all miss him,” “So sorry for your loss,” “He was such a close friend, can't imagine life without him.” The grass was a healthy green, the sky a bright blue, the cicadas chirped happily, and the coffin was empty.
From the trees along the edge of the cemetery, Steve and Robin watched with a beat-up pair of binoculars they had stolen from Dustin.
***
Steve and Robin, presumed dead, disappear into the woods after Starcourt. Featuring their budding friendship, acquiring a reputation as local cryptids, and of course fighting the US government.

People are saying that when it rains, if you look into your television at midnight, you'll see your soulmate.

Now fully on the ground, he whipped around to face the beast, snatching up his bat as he turned.
It was still trapped.
He really didn’t have the patience for this.
“Hey, Shithead! Your personal space bubble doesn’t get to be this whole fuckin’ cave!” He growled back.

Summary
"Eds…" Steve's voice emerged hoarse, strained. "I need… you to see this. Now."
Eddie, engrossed in adjusting his guitar's tuning peg with a wrench, set the instrument aside. He shuffled closer, one eyebrow arched in question. "What hidden treasure do you have in there this time? A map? Or…?"
He leaned in. His dark eyes focused on the two pink lines. Curiosity twisted into an exaggerated grimace of skepticism.
"Whoa!" Eddie snorted, snatching the test with greased fingers. "Two lines… Curious. Very curious."

"But plans change."
Steve froze. Literally frozen, as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water over his head.
"W-What?"
"Plans, they change," Eddie smiled, and it was a new smile, different from the previous ones. "Look, I’m not going to lie to you. Five kids is… actually, it’s a hell of a lot. But I didn’t come this far to give up now. If you have five kids, then I’ll just have to meet five kids. What’s the worst that could happen? They throw things at me? They hate me? They give me a nickname? I’ve survived entire high schools, I can survive five brats."
[...]
God.
What had he just done?
Where was he going to get five kids by Saturday?

Summary
“Steve, your handkerchief is part of a code. Billy walked into the store, took one look at you up on that ladder with your ass and accessory of choice on display. One that says ‘I like to take it up the ass’ and Billy definitely knew the code. The gay hanky code.”
“There’s a gay hanky code? No one told me about a code, why is there a code? Why is the gay thing so complicated?”
--
Or because Eddie has that hanky I wrote a fic about the gay hanky code in the 80s being used for Steve to flirt with Billy. Thsi fic features... Flirting (allot) Eddie trying to get Steve but Steve being too dumb to notice, Billy being possessive, Steve being a total mum, and more!Bookmarked by north_window

Summary
Steve Harrington has stopped pretending to be human. Somewhere between Hawkins and the infinite timelines bleeding into it, he’s seen every version of himself (hero, babysitter, monster) and realized they’re all the same: meaningless performances in a universe that doesn’t care.

Summary
For a very long time, the only person Steve tells about the Other Mother is Tommy Hagan.
---
Steve Harrington lives with his mother for the first time the summer after he turned 8 years old. The house, a lovely lakehouse in a fancy Chicago suburb Linda Harrington inherited from her great aunt, has a secret only Steve finds: a secret, tiny door in the basement, that can be unlocked by a key shaped like a button. On the other side is a world every child dreams of - everything a young boy could possibly want. All his to keep, in exchange for one simple thing...
Thirteen years later, Steve's mom breaks her promise to never return to the house. Now, his friends are racing to figure out what happened to him, starting with where he went, why he returned, and how he outsmarted the first monster he ever met... a monster far older, and more powerful, than any creature from the rest of them could have ever prepared for.
