    Summary

    Let's be honest.

    Steve Harrington’s parents had left a long time ago.

    There was no reason for them to come back, not now Vecna had opened up Hawkins to his own version of hell, countless people and homes lost into the abyss, the Harrington home included.

    And Steve does what he does best.

    Carries on. Acts like nothing is wrong. Volunteers at the shelter - ignores the fact that he is now homeless, avoids his unprocessed trauma - and folds laundry.

    ---

    Or, In the aftermath of Vecna, Steve is having a really bad time and Hopper and Eddie both, individually, and together, pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Steve's parents never had any problem coming up with the ways he'd disappointed them. Whether it was his grades, his career, his social circle, his ambitions (or lack thereof), it was never good enough for them. It always came down to the same thing: when would he "quit fooling around and act like a man?"

    Steve doesn't really think about his parents anymore, doesn't need to, not with the weird, wonderful, mismatched family he's found all on his own.

    But he does sometimes wonder what they meant about being a man.
