Summary
It's Halloween when they first speak. They go a while exchanging glances before actually saying anything. Billy spots him instantly that night—per usual—while Steve sips his drink, his “girlfriend” by his side. Billy never thinks they’ll last that long, but hey, over a year is a pretty long time. Sure, he’s heard things, but he’s never experienced “King Steve” in all his glory. So tonight, he decides to do something about it.
Billy Hardgrove and Steve Harrington learn how to love through a shitty and fucked up life together?

Summary
Mentions of past child abuse. Occasional: manhandling, mild slurs. ***WARNING: CH 25 "Goober" Contains Graphic Scenes of Abuse***
Susan and Neil are dead. Billy is 20 at the start and Max is 15. Story covers their lives (eventual Harringrove but more about relationship than sex) over a period of several years, if you read all of it...but if you don't, I understand. :p
The original story is contained in Chapters 2 - 10. Those have more of the original cast, and involve monster hunting, etc.. (Chapter 2 was posted first as a stand alone, which is why it's so long.)
After that there are requests, prompts, etc and just things I wrote because I got an idea.
IF you want to read this giant meandering thing in chronological order, refer to chapter 1 -- and then save Drabbles and Summer nights for after, if you are still wanting more.
Thanks!

Summary
The redhead moves closer to Hargrove, kneeling on some of Will’s drawings. He groans softly, like he can sense her approaching, and one of his hands flinches. By the pathetic sound he makes, Steve thinks the jerk isn’t in attack mode any more; he might actually be trying to get away from her.
“You’re okay, dipshit,” Max sighs before turning to the police chief. “He will be okay, right?”
“Should be,” Hopper replies, though by the way his mouth twitches nobody really buys it.
“Maybe Hargrove should go to the hospital too,” Dustin offers, his brows knitting together. “He kind of got punched a few times, and that tranquilizer was meant for Will. But, like, possessed Will.”
“Your choice, kid.”
Max turns towards Hopper, confused.
“What do you mean?”
—This is an AU which starts at the end of s2 and tries to fill in some of the gaps. This is also my attempt at having Hopper and Joyce more or less adopt Max and Billy. The usual background pairings apply, but this is mainly a Harringrove story with implied Byler.

Summary
Steve's eyebrows raise as he takes in the picture. His eyes flicker to Billy and back to the screen again. He coughs.
Billy's smirk grows.
"Oh yeah", Steve mumbles, chewing his cheek as he looks pointedly away from the phone. "Saw that this morning. Bet your DMs are blowing up Hargrove"
Billy stifles an incredulous snigger. Hargrove? Steve is terrible at playing shit cool.

Summary
Steve's night is going the worst possible way.
After getting dumped by Nancy at a work event, he caught her kissing Jonathan Byers, drank a bit too much, and made an ass of himself in front of his boss, so he's pretty sure he's not only single and very tipsy, but also fired.
To top it off, this is not his Uber. The guy driving it doesn't look like "Angela", and the backseat is full of plastic sheets and hardware tools, oh, crap, he's gonna get killed, isn't he?
Or maybe, just maybe, this car ride is gonna change Steve's life. -

Summary
Jason and Chrissy were both sort of lost, life wasn’t exactly panning out the way they thought. It’s not that things were bad per se, it was all so banal. Flat. Stale.
Neither of them would have thought that the summer in Hawkins could offer anything other than the same old boring experience as always. Same old people, same old parties, same shit… different year.
They were so wrong.

Summary
“Does Steve know you’re cheating on him?” Eddie asks on one of those days where Billy had ‘forgotten’ his wallet, the two of them on Eddie’s bed this time, as he lights up and pulls from the post-‘payment’ joint they always share.
“What, with you?” Billy scoffs. He takes his turn with the joint and looks at Eddie like he’s being ridiculous. “This isn’t cheating. We’ve never kissed and we’ve never even actually fucked. It doesn’t count.”
“So he doesn’t know,” Eddie confirms.
“Of course he doesn’t. And he never will.” Billy’s smile is cold and doesn’t reach his eyes, which hold behind them an unmistakable threat: or else. His humorless laugh is even colder. “He doesn’t even know I buy from you, Munson. I keep your filthy name as far away from mine as possible. That was the deal, wasn’t it?”

OR: Ensnared in a fucked-up friendship with Billy Hargrove, Eddie by extension also finds himself caught in the middle of Billy's fucked-up relationship with Steve Harrington.

Summary
Billy Hargrove’s classification test should have been a celebration — littles are rare, cherished, protected. But in the Hargrove house, rarity means nothing except another way to hurt you. At fourteen, Billy learns that pain can drown out panic, that self-harm can hide his instincts. By sixteen, a slip of the blade nearly kills him, and the hospital knows everything — his classification, the bruises, the fear. A police file opens, but Neil skips town before it can save him, dragging the family to Hawkins, Indiana. Billy survives the only way he knows how: by building armor out of scars.

Summary
In 1815, twenty-year-old William Hargrove is a celebrated sea captain, hero of the French navy, beloved by his crew and son of Marseille's respected governor. His star flies high, and he's supported at every turn by his first mate and secret lover Steve Harrington. It seems nothing can bring him down—
—until he's suddenly and unexpectedly accused of treason, and sent without trial to the fearsome Chateau d'If, a nightmarish prison where he faces horrific torture and abuse, and from which there can be no escape. In one stroke, Billy loses his freedom, his reputation, his friends and his position - and he's forced to leave behind his beloved Steve, never to see him again.
The Chateau d'If offers little in the way of hope... but Billy swears that he'll have his vengeance against those who have betrayed him. He'll escape the lonely prison, regain his power and fortune, and reclaim everything he's lost - including Steve.
(AKA the Count of Monte Cristo AU no one asked for!)

Babysitting a bunch of kids - one of them psychic - and surviving junior year was already more than enough.
Falling for the school's newest bad boy while still head over heels for his metalhead boyfriend? Yeah, definitely not part of Steve's 1984 plans.
Neither was dealing with the comeback of The Upside Down... and the ugly dogs that came with it.But hey - what else can he do but fight the monsters and fall in love all over again?

Summary
The Tangled Au no one asked for.
Billy and Eddie are just looking for a place to lay low after a job when they find themselves in a hairy situation. If they want their things back they'll have to make a deal. How much trouble could it be to take one pretty boy to see some lanterns?

All of Billy's shifting, hooting, and hollering has Eddie waking up, "what's wrong?" A second later he notices he can't move frowning as he looks down and realizes, "is this hair?"
Despite that being Billy's initial question he rolls his eyes as he gives a sigh of relief. Sure they are both tied up but at least they are together. "Why have you come here?" A voice asks from the shadows.
