Practical Magic: When a Witch & a Supergirl Meet by beren

Summary
Dragged into the Upside Down and left bleeding, Steve Harrington sees the last person he expects, his late grandmother, who drops two life-altering truths: their family are secret witches, and magic is the only thing keeping him from dying. There’s a catch, though, each spell feeds on two living conduits. Robin’s already tethered to him by a rare, strictly-platonic bond, but the second conduit is Eddie Munson (definitely not platonic)… who’s somewhere frozen between life and death in Vecna’s dark domain.
With time running out and Vecna tightening his grip on Hawkins, Steve must master raw witchcraft on the fly, rescue Eddie from the shadows, keep Robin alive, and haul them all back to the real world, before the new power pulsing through him attracts everything in the Upside Down like a beacon. Monsters, rifts, and the complexities of magic stand in his way - and that’s before the war with Vecna truly reignites.

Summary
Finney slowly pulled the telephone from his ear, his heartbeat roaring in the sudden stillness. The dial tone didn’t return. Nothing did. The receiver hung limp in his hand, as lifeless as his thoughts.
If this was a dream, it was the cruelest kind.
And if it wasn’t—then something far stranger was happening.
And Finney wasn’t sure if he was ready for what came next.
IN WHICH Finney fell asleep after practicing with Robin’s ghost in the Grabber’s basement, resigned to the fact that he’ll never escape.
Then he’s opening them again in January 1978, sixteen years old and one month before the string of kidnappings started.

Summary
Steve started his day to the sound of a disgruntled honk and a goose glaring at him over the edge of his bed, and it only went downhill from there.

Summary
“I mean, what if I never find someone? People like… like me. I’ve never seen it end well.”
“Well, the first step is probably hanging out with someone other than your friend, right? Meet new people?”Will frowns. “But you still hang out with him. How’re you supposed to get over Eddie if you’re still hanging out with him all the time?”
Steve’s eyebrows shoot upwards. "Uh. What?"
---
Touched and a little confused after Will Byers came out to him, Steve decides he'll do anything in his power to make the kid feel a little less alienated. Including orchestrating a pretend relationship with Eddie Munson.

Summary
“I think I’m stuck.”
Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.
“Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.
“I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”
Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
“You planning on becoming a comedian?”
“Eds.”
“Stevie.”
Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.
