Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

Summary
It’s outlandish. It’s implausible. It’s beyond the scope of man, beyond the imagination of children. He wants to shake his head, wants to dismiss it the same way they would laugh at the end of each campfire story, the same way folks would turn their noses up at the talk from the old miners who see things in the coal dust and dark and heat, because everyone sees something in the mine. That’s just the nature of the shadow.
Deciding to find his own answers, Wayne picks the wrong (or perhaps very right) moment to return to his trailer.

Summary
During a small party at Steve Harrington’s house, the group chooses a blank, unlabeled tape from a stack of movies,one with no title and no warning. What begins as a strange film night quickly turns into something far darker when the footage reveals a past Steve never meant to share.
Set in North Denver, 1978, the tape shows Steve as a boy, called Steve,living under the shadow of disappearances, black vans, and whispered fear. As the story unfolds, the group watches Steve’s childhood play out: his bond with his cousin Gwen, her prophetic dreams, the looming presence of The Grabber, and the violence that lived behind closed doors.
As the lines between memory and horror blur, the truth becomes impossible to ignore,some dreams are warnings, some silences are learned, and some scars never fade. Forced to confront the boy he was and the pain he survived, Steve must face a past that refuses to stay buried.
Because some tapes don’t need a title.
They already know your name.

Summary
Steven Harrington was 3 years old when he saw Dr. Brenner for the first time, he was 12 when he saw him last.
Steve had known about Eddie Munson since he started High School, did he know Eddie? Well, of course not. But the big hair and even bigger attitude are hard to miss.
He has always wondered what it must be like to be like Eddie, not different, not a freak -because he was those things too- but what it must be like to be shamelessly different, to proudly be a freak.
After getting his ass beat by Jonathan, he had finally decided he didn’t want to wonder anymore, he wanted to know.Bookmarked by missmischieff

“Who’s Steve?” This made everyone start talking over each other again.
”Are you not Steve?” The kid asks, Finney shakes his head.
Finney was starting to get overwhelmed when a boy with long dark curly hair kneels down to him, Finney thinks he sort of looks like Vance, and asks “If you’re not Steve, then what’s your name?”
”Finney Blake,” He thought about it for a moment, “But my middle name is Steven,” He offered.
Or: Finney Blake is Steve Harrington, but right after Finney escapes he time travels to right after Vecna is defeated, and the only way to get back is to watch The Black Phone

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.

“You are special. I think.” She said with a soft frown. “Like me. Somehow, but with no Papa.”

Summary
Eddie freezes, not because he’s uncomfortable, but because he’s terrified that moving even an inch will break the spell. His arm stays where it is, draped across the couch, but he angles it just enough that it curves protectively around Steve’s shoulders. Not touching, not really.
And Eddie… God. Eddie’s done for.
He can’t imagine a life without this guy anymore.
When did that happen? When did it change? When did Steve fucking Harrington go from the rich kid with perfect hair and too many friends to… this? To someone Eddie would fight monsters for. Someone he’d sit awake for, just to make sure he’s breathing okay. Someone who falls asleep against Eddie like Eddie is someone solid, someone safe.
It’s insane. It’s absolutely deranged. If his high school self could see this — Steve The Hair Harrington wrapped around him like some big, warm golden retriever of a hero — Eddie would’ve laughed in disbelief. Or passed out. Or both.
But reality is right here, breathing against his collarbone. Steve asleep beside him, trusting Eddie to watch over him. To stay.
Or: 5 times Steve falls asleep on Eddie and 1 time Eddie returns the favor.

Summary
In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.
A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning, vivid enough to leave him shaking.
Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?
Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.
Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone Steve can’t quite explain. Someone who feels different than he should, heavier somehow, as if the future itself is pulling Steve toward him. A gravity Steve is certain wasn't there before.

Summary
A hazy memory of a child, young and smiling, suddenly screaming and bleeding, until they dropped dead. It was one of the only memories of his childhood Steve had, and it sure didn't paint a pretty picture.
Years later, Steve was helpless as Vecna tore open a gate between worlds. Then, the child - sibling, fellow experiment - tore through time and sent Steve right back to when everything started. This lead to Steve Harrington, or 'Seven,' having several realisations, suddenly getting several truckloads of repressed trauma dumped on him, and the realisation of 'oh shit I have powers' slammed into his face.
Now, with so much at stake, he just has to try and not have a mental breakdown over everything. Oh, and also help his sibling save the world.

Summary
“We can make a deal. I get you a job at Family Video, with me and Robin. And I can’t make any promises, but I can try to help you study. I’ll be useless with English but I wasn’t completely horrible at math. I do that, and you just have to stop dealing and look out for the kids when they’re at school.”
Munson’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You want to help me get a job and help me graduate?”
“If it helps the kids, yes.”---
A Pre-Season 4/Season 4 rewrite with Family Video employee Eddie, Mama Bear Steve, Vecna-ed Steve, plenty of angst, more than one sexuality crisis, Wayne adopting every sad teen he finds, and a happy ending for everyone (except Jason and Vecna). Trigger warnings at the start of every chapter.

Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.
---
Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

Summary
The man- now unmistakably Eddie Munson- opened his mouth as if to say something, choosing to instead launch himself at Steve. There was a second where Steve thought he was being attacked, knocked off kilter, but then Eddie’s arms were around him, burying his face in Steve’s hair. Half-collapsing beneath the weight, Steve guided them both to the floor, pulling Eddie closer instinctively. He felt thinner than he used to, the skin of his back littered with scars.
“Eddie,” Steve murmured disbelievingly, holding him as he shook like a leaf in Steve’s arms. “You’re not dead.”
Eddie laughed, despite the trembling. He clutched onto Steve’s shirt like a lifeline.
“Yeah,” he managed, voice high and vulnerable. “Sorry to disappoint.”
WARNING: This will contain season five spoilers, though it diverts from canon.
