Summary
Jonathan Byers is a creep - and discovering the popular heart-throb, Steve Harrington, at his college, was one of the best thing to have ever happened to him. He fills the viewfinder of Jonathan's camera, the photos on his walls, and the notes in his journal. That is, until Steve unearths his dirty secret, and Jonathan realizes his version of Steve — the alluring, fratboy facade — does not align with the man confronting him now. Steve has a few secrets of his own.
Perhaps, Steve Harrington is a creep, too.Bookmarked by riptheslit

Summary
After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

Summary
Jonathan and Steve haven't spoken in months. Steve almost prefers it that way, because at least he knows how to act. Don't get too close, don't get caught staring, don't let anyone know--they're easy rules to follow.
But, when Jonathan goes missing, and the quiet town of Hawkins is suddenly not-so-quiet, it becomes harder and harder for Steve to hide the truth. He's not even sure what the truth is, anymore. He's not sure he wants to find out.
---
A rewrite of S1 centered on the premise: What if Jonathan went missing instead of Will? (And: What if Steve and Jonathan were childhood friends turned enemies turned lovers turned enemies again?)Series

Summary
Jonathan’s head lolls to the side, and he smirks at him. “I wasn't trying to insult you,” he says, “sorry. I just meant- I’ve been kind of aimless, lately, so. I guess I’m trying to say thank you. You’ve helped.”
Steve snorts. “What, because I’m another person for you to take care of?”
The joke falls flat between them, and Steve suppresses a wince as Jonathan considers him for a long moment. “Is that what you think you are to me?” he asks quietly after a beat, and Steve’s heart leaps up to somewhere in his throat.
Being friends with Jonathan is only weird if Steve makes it weird, right?

Summary
Steve sort of feels like maybe he spent his whole life mourning what his father was and now that he’s dead, maybe it’ll be like Jonathan said. Maybe he’ll need to mourn everything he wasn’t.
Or: Steve's dad dies suddenly and he doesn't know how to process his grief. Jonathan, however, is there to help hold him together.

Summary
“Soooo…” She draws the o out as she tilts her head and rests it on her hand, leaning over the bar counter. “You know Steve, then. Steve Harrington.”
Jonathan hesitates. He could lie. It might even be easy. A simple Steve? Steve, who? would probably be enough to dismiss the idea all together since there’s something about the question that makes Jonathan believe she’s suspicious about the connection in the first place. So he’s not exactly sure why that when he opens his mouth next what comes out is,
“I… I do, yeah.”

Summary
Steve Harrington has turned out to be a lot like a stray cat―the particular genre of stray cat Lonnie insisted Frog was: The kind that’s not really a stray at all, but looks so cute and sweet and pitiful that you can’t help yourself.
Once Jonathan paid him a little attention, he wouldn’t go the hell away. It was impossible to just ignore him, since he seemed to like being ignored―it must’ve been the thrill of the chase. There was a solid six months where he was almost always on the phone or in Jonathan’s bedroom, flipping his fucking hair around and drawling translate this for me, Byers. What’s our friend Robert Smith saying?
Jonathan has tried throwing rocks at him, metaphorically speaking; he’s been mean and he’s been honest; he’s left the most pessimistic parts of himself in charge.
And somehow, despite it all, Steve is still here.

Summary
“If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”
Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

Summary
"It was a complete accident. This was reiterated, several times, by both parties. No-one was to blame. Yes, it was Steve’s idea to go back to the woods to see if there was any way to retrieve Barb’s body for her parents (and definitely not to make Nancy like him). Yes, Jonathan was the one to insist that he didn’t go alone. Yes, Steve did ignore his warnings not to touch anything. But no-one, no-one, could have known that creepy plant would release those spores. And they definitely had no idea what they would do."

Summary
Thirty years ago, after depleting its and its colonies’ resources, an attempted military coup, as well narrowly escaping the devastating consequences of scientific hubris, Krypton entered a new expansionist era. Dru-Zod was cast out and ordered to redeem himself by bringing new worlds under empirical control. Five years ago, Earth became a Kryptonian colony. But not without a fight.
Now, with the planet’s future and freedom still at stake, the resistance’s work remains incomplete. Batman, forced to adapt to and work within the invaders’ regime, secretly provides the rebels with information. But when his extraterrestrial colleague— the Kryptonian Cultural Minister— begins to take a personal interest in him, Bruce finds himself in uncharted territory. Because Kal-El is not the cruel, domineering overlord Batman assumed him to be.

Summary
To escape the destruction of his home planet, Kal-El comes to earth looking for a new life. But starting over on an alien planet with no friends or family, no grasp on the languages or cultures, and a body that barely feels like his own is more than anyone should ever have to do. And it doesn't help that every government on earth is hunting him down.
Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne is doing his best to find the alien who crash landed to earth and make sure he means humanity no harm. The two inevitably collide, but there are more secrets between them than either care to admit.

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary
Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are officially married and the adoptive parents of five very active teenagers: Conner, 16, new to families and basic human interaction; Robin, 15, on his way to the Olympic Trials for the US Men’s Gymnastics Team; Jason, 14, a child star about to take on the biggest movie role of his career; Tim, 13, training to be more than a back-up hero; and Damian, 12, ready to step into his father’s work boots and cowl.
With their time divided between Gotham and New York City, Clark and Bruce struggle to remain a sane, united front while drowning in the chaotic drama that is teenagers left to their own devices when Jason’s birth mother wants to become a permanent fixture in his life, Robin’s behavior becomes erratic after a celebration turns tragic, Tim fears the feelings he has for Conner, Conner doubts his acceptance into the family, and Talia Al Ghul threatens to visit.
For some unions, love just isn’t enough to keep it all together. It’s Clark and Bruce against the world, but can they succeed, when it seems that even their own children are on the opposing side?

Summary
It starts like this. Clark Kent has a hopeless crush on a woman who's out of his league. Bruce Wayne has a newly-acquired kid he feels ill-equipped to raise. Superman is still finding his feet. And Batman has an unshakeable suspicion that Superman surely can't be all that he seems.
Things can only get more complicated from there.
