Summary
Eddie was bored, to say the least.
No.
Eddie was really freaking bored and he was going to lose his mind if he didn't do anything to occupy his already spiraling train of thought. He was more alert and highly stung today, just waiting for the inevitable danger to approach his hideaway. Turns out that being locked away in a cramped boathouse in the middle of nowhere isn't exactly the best of situations to be in, especially when the whole town thinks you are a cold blooded, murdering freak.
-
In which Eddie doesn’t make it to the boat in time and Jason finds him before he can escape.

Summary
"You initiated a code red because your lamp exploded? Dude!" Dustin complained.
"You don't get it, man!" Steve said before Dustin could go off on a rant about 'proper use' of the Walkies. He looked down at his lap, unable to meet the others' eyes. "Nothing was touching the lamp. It just exploded, alone. And I think that I did it. Because... I was pretty mad, and it exploded, like, in sync with my thoughts."
A long silence followed. Steve didn't like silence. Most of the time, it meant something big and awful was coming. The 'calm before the storm'. You know.
~ Or
A few months after being injured in the Starcourt Mall "fire", Steve's living a pretty normal life: working with Robin, getting even closer to the Party, avoiding his parents any time he can, etc., etc. So, it comes as a big surprise to everyone that the yearly wave of Upside Down related problems mainly revolves around him. Will Steve understand just how big the mess he's in is before it's too late?

Summary
It's March 23, 1996. Ten years ago, hell opened up beneath Hawkins. Ten years ago, Steve Harrington died. The world kept turning despite the horrors, and Eddie has begun to believe that a life can exist for him outside of the trauma that occasionally haunts his dreams.
Robin's been having terrible nightmares. She imagines places she's never been, faces she's never seen, and things that have yet to be, with Steve's face at every corner. As it turns out, hell is not as far behind Eddie as he thought. In fact, it's snarling at his heels, and Steve is caught at the center of it all.

Summary
“What do you mean what happened?”
“I just…” Jonathan’s eyes flicked up past Steve at the sound of the backdoor creaking open. “Mom.”
Steve turned to see Mrs. Byers’ in the doorway with a glass of water and a bottle of something. Probably the painkillers she’d promised. She gave him a matching look of concern and confusion, although she was quicker to conceal it.
He started to feel hot and embarrassed with the reaction he was getting. It hadn’t been meant to slow anything down, let alone draw everyone’s eyes to his bare chest. He leaned down to grab his soaking wet shirt off the back steps, although it was really just an excuse to look down and away from everyone’s gazes.
Mrs. Byers’ put out a hand as if to tap him on the shoulder and then drew it back like she was worried about hurting him.
“Steve, honey, you can borrow one of Jonathan’s shirts."
Based on the prompt: "I love the idea of a whumpee having a wardrobe malfunction that leads to a past injury/torture reveal." by @writingpheonix on tumblr!

Summary
The world is ending. Hawkins has fallen. The Upside Down has won.
Months after the invasion, Steve Harrington is one of the few left alive, stuck inside a military compound with the remains of his broken found family. Every day is a fight for survival, a fight to push back the creatures that have destroyed everything.
And then it all goes to hell.
A routine supply run turns into a massacre. Steve barely escapes with his life, taking shelter in the last place he ever wanted to be—the Creel House. Fueled by grief, anger, and the unbearable weight of everyone he’s lost, he destroys the grandfather clock that once haunted Max Mayfield’s visions.
And time shatters.
When Steve wakes up, Hawkins is intact. The world hasn’t ended. But something is wrong. The date is November 6, 1983. Will Byers has just gone missing. And Steve Harrington might be the only one who can stop the end of the world before it even begins.
But changing the past comes with a cost. And as Steve soon realizes, just because he’s gone back in time doesn’t mean things will turn out better. Some things can’t be fixed. Some things were always broken. And some things—if messed with—can break even worse.

Summary
Steve didn’t know Eddie all that well, but he knew he was a hero, and he wouldn’t rest until the whole damn town knew it too.
He just wished they had more time.
Or: The author just went through another yearly life is strange phase and wanted to write about what Steve would do if he could rewind time at will!
