    Summary

    If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.

    Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.

    Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.

    Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.

    So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

    Summary

    He’d actually looked the word up in a dictionary once. Idiot. Not too long ago, back when he’d been bored and killing time and— okay also maybe because people kept using big words around him that he didn’t understand, and he wanted to be a little less of an idiot. And so since he had the book on hand anyway, why not look it up?

    Obviously, he knew what it meant. He’d heard it over and over. But it was different being told something and actually seeing and learning it firsthand. And so he was curious. Curious like you’re curious about the meaning of your name. This thing that defines you.

    What does it mean to be Steve Harrington?

    What does it mean to be an idiot?



    Steve has spent years being the reliable babysitter, punching bag, and emotional support ex-boyfriend. Nancy's been moving forward while looking back, telling herself she isn't about to hit a brick wall. Eventually something's gotta give.

    A post-non-canon-compliant season 5 story about denial having a short shelf life and that eventually you're gonna have to eat your vegetables. Pretend that made sense.

    Summary

    Before that night in the Creel House, Steve wrote a series of letters for the Party. “Just in case,” he said when giving the stack to Nancy, hoping they wouldn’t be needed.

    More than a year later, Steve is still in his Vecna-induced coma and the Party has read their letters so many times they can probably recite them from memory.

    Or: a Steve Harrington-centric Stranger Things 5 rewrite.
