    Summary

    1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.

    Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.

    OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

    Summary

    What if the person who "died" during the mall fire wasn't Hopper, but Robin?

    Nancy, Steve, and the rest of the group search desperately for Robin, unable to believe that she is truly dead. Robin is just trying to keep her friends alive for a long as she can.

    Or, Robin is kidnapped by the Russians.

    Summary

    It would be kinda funny if it wasn't so sudden, the way he tosses her like a somewhat limp javelin, and she hurtles through the portal and skids to the hard tiled floor of the lab.

    Again, relief blooms in her chest, bright and warm.

    And then, she looks back at Steve through the zipping portal, and the fear surges.

    Steve gets left behind in the Upside Down. Robin’s going to get him out.

    (Nancy Wheeler won’t take no for an answer; Eddie Munson gets a second chance at life.)

    Summary

    "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
    --
    Steve Harrington would rather be anywhere but the Hawkins Community Center on a Tuesday night picking up his 24 hour chip from AA, but after hitting rock bottom and destroying his friendship with Robin over his drinking, there was really nowhere else to go. To his surprise, a very familiar face is there to pick up his six month chip and, in turn, change Steve's entire life.

    OR

    Alcoholic Steve and Heroin Addict Eddie falling in love over AA meetings, shared cigarettes, and a whole lot of trauma bonding.
