Summary
Jim is starting to put it together. The waiting all day to eat. The bruise on his jaw. The lack of money for food. God, the kid probably walked six miles to get here.
Jim isn't stupid, he can connect the dots. But Jim also knows when not to push things. When not to rock the boat. When sometimes, even if it pains him, helping someone can be a lost cause.

or How family isn't always blood and love comes in more ways than one.(or Steve Harrington getting the care he deserves, even if it does take a little while.)

Oh baby, do you know what that's worth? (we'll make heaven a place on earth) by Gorgeousgreymatter

Summary
Water still dripping down the back of his neck, Steve’s just turned out the light, convinced that if he just shuts his eyes and stays still, quiet, that it’ll just happen. He’ll drift off (that’s never how it happens, but hey, the 457th time's the charm right?
But he’s barely looked at the back of his eyelids for, he swears, more than a minute or two when he hears it — a loud thump. Three years of hyper-vigilance sends him flying down the stairs, white-knuckling the bat (sans nails) he keeps underneath his bed, stopping at the landing to switch on the light that illuminates the foyer.
“Munson?”
Eddie’s clearly just scrambled to his feet, the coat rack by the door toppled over, a myriad of random coats littering the floor, because he’s brushing his long hair out of his eyes and looking slightly more disheveled than usual. When he meets Steve’s eyes, it’s with a sheepish smile and a shrug. “Can we pretend my entrance was a lot cooler than that?”

Vicious Mockery (never won a fight) by BatBratsAndTheirCrossovers

Summary
Steve has never won a fight. He’s had his ass kicked left, right, and center. Hell, Johnathan has kicked his ass. Steve can bat a monster, but when it comes to people? Steve Harrington has never really won a fight.
But that’s because he’s getting put in the wrong kinds of fights. They think he’s a hammer, when really, anyone who grew up BFFs with Carol becomes a scalpel.
(Dustin gapes like a fish. “Holy shit, dude…” Steve would chide language if he thought it would do anything. “You just performed real life Vicious Mockery. I think that guy took psychic damage!”)
~~~
Or: someone thinks he’s tough shit and is messing with Steve’s kids. Cue the Boss Battle Music. Mama Steve rips the guy to shreds, as he should.

Summary
Look. It’s not Steve’s fault. It isn’t!
It’s just that someone can only get hit on the head so many times before their brain starts cracking, and Eddie Munson is always thinking so GODDAMN LOUD.

Summary
“We should have sex,” Steve blurts, and it almost sounds like a question. Eddie feels himself freeze, and his entire body flushes hot with equal parts terror and intrigue, because did Steve just say they should have sex? As in, together?
“Um,” Eddie manages. His brain is entirely off line, buzzing with frantic static and he begs his mouth to say something, anything, before Steve rescinds the offer.
::
Or, Eddie can't sleep without having nightmares, so Steve offers his assistance.
