The Line Is Still On by Iyearnorthephone (Samiam16)

Summary
Steve Harrington learned how to survive long before Hawkins ever needed him to.
When Will Byers disappears, the town treats it like a misunderstanding. Kids run away. Parents panic. Everything will sort itself out.
Steve tells himself the same thing. He is good at pretending things are normal. He learned that skill the hard way.
But Will’s disappearance brings something with it, static where there should be silence, a pressure that does not fade, the sense that Steve is not as alone as he should be. And it is only the beginning.
Hawkins is full of ghosts.
Some of them have been with Steve for years.
A Stranger Things rewrite where Steve Harrington has a past, the dead do not stay quiet, and survival leaves marks long after you escape.Aka
Steve Harrington is Finney Blake and the ghosts did not get the memo to stay in the past.

Summary
Even though Robin insisted that they were platonic with a capital P, Nancy didn’t buy it. Robin and Steve clearly cared about each other, had countless inside jokes and practically spent all their time together. If they weren’t dating then they definitely would be soon. She figured that Robin was downplaying things to not make things uncomfortable with her considering her history with Steve.
Which was nice of Robin to do but it left a bad taste in her mouth that they weren’t upfront about their relationship. She didn’t want them to have to hide for her sake.
Or: 5 times someone thinks Steve and Robin are dating + 1 time someone knows the truth.

Summary
What Steve would rather think about was how he had somehow, miraculously, picked up a random kid on the road who just so happened to also be from the Hawkins Lab.
And El's definitely short for something.
God-fucking-damnit. Steve's so stupid. How did he not notice? Somehow, he found his little sister, just wandering around Hawkins.
Or
Steve with powers from the lab is the older brother that El always needed.

Summary
He gets the call and everything is slow motion. He’s barely able to understand what’s happening. The words are mumbled in his brain, he picks them apart like he’s sifting for a needle in a haystack. Claudia Henderson was found dead. Her son is waiting at the police station.
-------
Steve becomes Dustin's legal guardian after his mom's death. He's figuring it out along the way with the help of a certain curly-haired metal-head he can't seem to get out of his head.

Summary
There were no tearful hugs and kisses from doting parents watching their babies go to their first day of kindergarten, waving to them until they were out of sight. There was nobody who would miss him while he was at school.
He followed the other children to their classroom and listened to the teacher as she introduced herself. When they had free play he tried to talk to the other kids but he wasn’t sure how to talk to them. He didn’t have any friends his own age. His parents were hardly ever around and they always spoke like proper grownups. His Nanny was nice, but she wasn’t a kid either and she didn’t need to be his friend.
So Steve tried to just sit near the other kids. A few kids said hello but nobody really tried to make friends with him.
At least not until Eddie.
OR
Steve and Eddie meet as kids and grow up together. Because Eddie doesn't fit the part of someone who a Harrington would associate with, at least as far as Steve's parents are concerned, they have to keep their friendship secret. Starts from when they are kids until S4.

Summary
Steve didn’t talk much, or at all sometimes.
He never knew it wasn’t normal.
The only people he ever saw were his parents, and they never spoke to him unless it was to scold him.
As more people come into Steve's life, he finds it hard to find the words he needs, and sometimes silence is all he can offer them.
When he gets close to Eddie Munson, an unlikely bond begins. Eddie is full of life and words, and Steve worries he won't be interesting enough to keep him around.
Little does Steve know, Eddie is perfectly fine with sitting in silence with him.
OR
Steve has selective mutism and often can't talk in front of people. Here are five people who expect Steve to speak to them and one person who never does, Eddie Munson.

Summary
When everything is said and done, when the world is slowly healing from fissures and creatures from hell clawing at its surface, there is an after. After, is when everyone tries to go back to normal, or find a new normal to get used to. After, is when there are new nightmares and new fears to deal with, to work through.
After, is when Steve Harrington realizes he is alone.
Or, a Steve Harrington character study about his trauma, sexuality, and the people that helped him through it.

Summary
Something happens to Steve Harrington in October of 1984 in the junkyard while protecting those kids.
Something that he’s afraid of. That he doesn’t know how to control.
It starts with rows and rows of razor sharp teeth digging their way into his flesh, ripping and tearing their way through the layers of jeans and tall socks. A scream erupts from his throat at the hot burning sensation that trails its way up his leg. He’s trying to kick it with his other foot, but the demodog doesn’t even seem phased. Its flowered face never opens to release him, no matter how much force he uses behind his kicks. It uses its grip on Steve to start pulling him down the staircase of the bus, one by one, and Steve knows that if he lets himself get pulled all the way out, it’s over.
----------
Or, Demo Steve :-)

Summary
For three years, the Hawkins crew has managed to overcome the threat presented by the Upside Down, though they suffered losses, wounds, and scars. Their fourth encounter is different, and Steve is sure this is the end. He’s right, as it turns out.
Steve dies.
Then, he’s offered an opportunity to save his found family and the entire multiverse. But there’s a catch. Their home universe is a lost cause, and they’ll have to root out the threat that Vecna poses from a different dimension, one that defines sex and gender very differently from what he’s always known.

Summary
“Who’s Steve?” This made everyone start talking over each other again.
”Are you not Steve?” The kid asks, Finney shakes his head.
Finney was starting to get overwhelmed when a boy with long dark curly hair kneels down to him, Finney thinks he sort of looks like Vance, and asks “If you’re not Steve, then what’s your name?”
”Finney Blake,” He thought about it for a moment, “But my middle name is Steven,” He offered.
Or: Finney Blake is Steve Harrington, but right after Finney escapes he time travels to right after Vecna is defeated, and the only way to get back is to watch The Black Phone

Summary
Steve Harrington hasn't had an ordinary year since 1983. He has been attacked by demons from another dimension, chased homicidal cat-killing creatures with a baseball bat filled with nails, been tortured by Russians under a shopping mall, and visited a world where bats tear your insides out. All in all, you could forgive him for assuming his eventual death would be due to very strange, Upside Down-related circumstances. As it turns out, there may be things more evil in our world than ever conceived of in the Upside Down.

Summary
“How’re you feeling?” Eddie quietly asks, the conversation private for just the two of them, even if there are people around them.
“Okay. I think. Your injuries hurt like a bitch.” Eddie laughs, full on laughs, his eyes wrinkling into a crescent. Dear fucking god, Eddie has dimples. Yeah, Steve is a goner.
-
Or: Steve Harrington begs the universe to keep Eddie Munson alive while he carries him in his arms. Someone must have heard him wrong in the Upside Down because Eddie's injuries transfer to him.

Summary
Steve was born into the “perfect” family. The Harrington’s were a perfect husband, perfect wife, and perfect son bundled together in a big successful house with great successful jobs.
As the years go by, Steve begins to realize that “hey, none of that shit happens to be true, and this actually sucks ass.”

Summary
Everything was okay.
It was perfectly fine. Nothing was wrong. There was no reason to be so irrational. He just needed to get a grip, that's all. These dreams, they didn't mean anything. Neither did the numbers on his wrist, or the fact that he couldn't remember anything before he was twelve. His parents were his parents, his life was completely ordinary. It was all in his head.
He was fine.
What he couldn't explain, he just ignored. It was nothing. It was just him being stupid. The pull to these... monsters. The way he felt this overwhelming need to be in their presence. That was all bullshit.
Or that when he first saw them, when they opened up their jaws, showing their teeth.
That he could understand every word they said.
It was all bullshit.
Or
Steve has powers but never realises it, until he finally does. No one notices how not-normal his situation really is, until they finally do.

Under temporary hiatus! Will be continued when I find my missing muse.

Summary
After their breakup, Steve found that being around Nancy and Jonathan was pretty much unbearable. His old friends wouldn't even look at him, and there was only so much time he could spend with the kids before he started feeling kind of pathetic. All in all, he was a pretty lonely person now.
But was he really lonely enough to consider joining Hellfire club?
And were they really willing to accept having a dethroned king in their party?

That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

Summary
“Hey! Let me go you little shi-Hey!” Steve yelled out startled “what are you doing?!”
“This is a pool party Steve” said a voice that sounded suspiciously like the middle Wheeler child “what do you think we’re doing?”
The question was clearly rhetorical.
Now Steve may not be the smartest. Far from it in reality but even he could sense the implications behind the teens words.
They were going to put him in the pool.
Or: Steve really, really hates that pool.
