Summary
Steve kind of hates Eddie.
He’s kind of loud, abrasive, has zero brain to mouth filter and also, Dustin sometimes seems to think he’s cooler than Steve, which is a load of shit. Steve is cool. Steve is fucking fun.
And he hates how Eddie doesn’t seem to know how to listen, because Steve told him not to be a hero. In those exact words, no ambiguity. He fucking told Eddie to not take any goddamn risks.

Summary
In the excitement of everything, everyone kind of forgot about Steve getting dragged to the Upside-Down. And getting choked out by a demobat. And being bitten by more demobats.
Robin remembers. She can’t forget, apparently.

Summary
After the mall burns down and Robin finds herself in a world where monsters are real, she has Steve. Steve and his stupid hair and his big smile and his sad eyes. Steve who she thinks she loves. Her best friend.
It shouldn’t have happened really, that she started genuinely liking the guy. As soon as she’d seen her roster sheet and known who she’d be working with the majority of the summer she’d almost turned around and begged off it. Now here she is and the guy has a face mashed beyond all recognition and she barely has a scratch on her and she should just go home. But she’s waiting for him outside a hospital room and she thinks they might be friends.
She’s sitting kind of off to the side wishing the guy she’s waiting for could come and sit outside with her even though that’s entirely illogical. Robin is pretty sure she’s meant to feel sort of awkward around Steve right now because he had confessed he liked her not more than three or four hours ago and then she had told him what she was and sure, in the moment of adrenaline and Russians and interdimensional monsters he had accepted her, but did that extend to her waiting outside hospital rooms for him?

Summary
Erica can still feel his hands on her where he'd grabbed her, she doesn't know what to do about it, who to speak to. Everyone seems so okay with everything, like they can't even remember what happened. Steve has those scars, those memories printed on his skin, and he seems perfectly fine. Erica should be fine too, she's not a kid any more, and she doesn't even have scars.
Erica doesn’t know what to do. If she talks to Lucas, he’ll start acting like she’s a kid again and she’s not, she’s older now than when Lucas got involved. She’s old enough not to need help and she’s not going to ask just because she’s a girl and can’t deal with it. Lucas dealt with it, she’ll deal with it.
So she’s just going to watch. Watch Max who almost died but seems fine. Lucas who fought Jason and seems fine. Pretends she doesn’t feel the phantom, nameless hands grabbing her, doesn’t feel the short blades of grass under her fingers as she scrabbled, feel his hot breath on the back of her neck like she was prey. Pretends there’s none of that, because it shouldn’t matter. She’s Erica Sinclair — can’t spell America without Erica — and she’s going to be just fine.

Summary
Eddie is very thankful that he still has on his sunglasses because Steve is showing more skin than Eddie has ever seen, even during his basketball days at Hawkins High. He’s wearing a white cropped Tears for Fears shirt and possibly the smallest blue shorts ever created. He’s got his hands on his hips and it draws Eddie’s attention to the scars lining his sides on full display. He’s almost wearing them like a badge of honor, refusing to cover them up like this. He wants people to know he fought and survived, it makes Eddie's stomach flip thinking about how that bravery was part of the reason he's even here.
or, 5 times Eddie sees Steve's scars and 1 time Steve gets to see Eddie's.

Summary
Eddie’s quietly falling more and more in love with Steve with every car ride—every time it’s raining, and he watches as Steve does a stupid little run with an umbrella to the front porch so Robin won’t mess up her hair before a marching band concert.
Falling in love with the constancy of it, with every little routine Steve does. It takes a few weeks of listening for Eddie to figure out that when Steve first half-sings, “Good mornin’,” as everyone clambers into the car that he’s imitating the song from Singin’ in the Rain.

Summary
It's a Tuesday when it happens. He's sitting anxiously at lunch, eating his hot pockets and silently dreading the math quiz coming next period. Trying really extra hard to keep the slipping shards of his sanity in his grasping fingers, when Dustin says Harrington's name just one too many times and he snaps.
"What the fuck," he says vehemently and suddenly, slapping his palms on the tabletop, "Is up with you and Steve Harrington?"
"What do you mean?" Dustin asks, his head tilted to the side like a little kid.
"You're always fucking talking about him!"
"Yeah," says Dustin, his face carefully blank, but still a little bitchy, "Because he's my friend. You know about those? About friends?."
And the thing is, Eddie can tell that he's said something wrong here, somewhere, but he's too busy wrestling down his bitterness to properly understand what it is.
"But Harrington's a judgmental Douchbag!"
"That's funny," replies Dustin snippily, "Cause it looks a lot like only one of you is talking shit, and it's not Steve."
Or
Eddie is really tired of hearing about Steve Harrington. Right up until he isn't.

Summary
Another Steve/Robin fake relationship fic! Even after their "Platonic with a capital P" conversation, I don't think Nancy or the rest of the party will just accept that Steve and Robin can be so close without dating. Love the '80s and heteronormativity!
But Steve and Robin use this to their advantage, because they're shady little shits.Steve and Robin's friendship is vaguely inspired by "it's a risk, it's a gamble" which is a Jonathan/Nancy/Steve fic! I'm not usually a Steve/Nancy or a Steve/Nancy/Jonathan shipper, but the portrayal of Steve and Robin's friendship, and Steve's view of the kids, is legitimately perfect.

Summary
Bouldering is a sport of you vs the wall. If you do your best against the holds and patterns and marry execution to intuition you’ll find yourself at the top of the game.
That’s what Imogen Temult did last year. Quite unexpectedly. And now, she has to show everyone it wasn’t a fluke.
The other thing about climbing is you fall... something Laudna is all too familiar with. But she’s someone who embraces the fall, sticks the landing, and tries to keep on going until that timer is up.
Whether they intend to or not, they bring out a brighter side in each other. And they’re kind of becoming each other's favorite thing about the sport.

Summary
It would be a monumentally stupid thing to do. It would probably be the worst decision she’d ever made in a life full of poor decisions. You couldn’t have sex with someone you were in love with just to take the edge off. It would be selfish and ruinous and cruel. It wouldn’t be fair to Laudna.
“Imogen?” Laudna whispered into the space between them. “Are you thinking about it?

Summary
“Imogen?” Laudna ducked under the cloth flap and into the large tent, Imogen’s name a broken pant in her lungs. “Imogen? Darling?”
Imogen, wet hair cascading down her back and shoulders in dark lavender waves, stood facing the corner of the room away from Laudna, naked and unnaturally still. Her hands were raised out in front of her, palms up and head lowered.
In the lantern light with Imogen’s bare skin exposed, her lightning marks and freckles almost glowed, but—
Laudna’s heart stuttered.
The scars mapped along her flesh were brutal, and for the first time, extremely visible.
...Trauma leaves scars. Love is healing.

Aelwyn and Kristen seemed to be bickering over what to watch while both trying to sit in the same armchair (with plenty of room on the couch, but it appeared to be the principal), while Adaine and Tracker (who was taking a much deserved break from Wolfsong for the winter) played some board game on the floor.
Everything felt calm. Her kids were safe. Everything was good.
So of course, something had to happen.Or
