This AU focuses on Robin meeting Steve as Steve at Scoops Ahoy and as Mr. Wolf in the woods during the summer of 1985. She slowly becomes friends with both of them and then season three happens. Then season four happens and stuff starts to go radically AU.
Platonic Stobin is the central focus of the story, but Steddie and Rockie are romantic relationships that develop later in the series.
This series began as a few short stories written for #stobinmonth 2023. Then it grew!

That's Because I'm A Goold Old-Fashioned Lover Boy by crow_of_crimes (Theyna_Shipper)

Summary
But Steve is not her quiet Italian father, and Robin is not her patient yet free-spirited mother. Maybe someday Steve will be a good husband who still loves his wife even when their children are grown. But this isn’t a scene she was meant to take part in.
“If you’re feeling awkward about last night,” and Robin’s a bit impressed with Steve’s awareness on this one. “Don’t. Seriously, like, most people I’ve known have fallen asleep on top of me. Shit, that came out wrong.”
This is able to draw a laugh out of Robin, and after a drive to work with Steve, going slower than usual so she can apply eyeliner in the car, she’s almost forgotten the shadow that crossed her mind earlier.
By the time they’ve realized they’d forgotten to return Cabaret and have racked up a late fee at their own place of work, it’s like it never happened.
~~~~~~~~~
Robin and Steve realize there's more than one way to love a person.

Summary
It’s quiet again. He doesn’t like the quiet. It’s never usually quiet between the two of them. He doesn’t like how the only sounds are Robin’s slight wheezing and his own heavy breathing.
“This is going to sound really shitty, but I’m glad you’re with me.” It’s not a vulnerable statement, but he feels vulnerable. He shouldn’t be glad she’s here. She should be far, far away and he should be happy about it. “I’d hate to be by myself in this place.”
Another soft rattle of her breath. “I’m glad I’m here, too.”
Robin won’t let Steve go alone. Not even at the end of the world. Especially not at the end of the world.

“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
On the 30th of March, 1986, Robin and Steve decide to leave Hawkins behind them.
“I—I know it’s not great, y’know if you were planning on getting with someone.”
He grabs her shoulder, like he needs her to listen to him, like she’s not always listening to him. “I don’t give a shit about that. I don’t—I don’t know. It’s not something I like, need, Rob. I’ve got you, haven’t I? I would be happy living with you for the rest of my life, I guess. I don’t know.” He looks unfairly pretty in his cheap suit and the ugly overhead lights against the grey felt of her cubicle wall. “Probably sounds crazy,” he says, “sorry.”
“You should marry me for real,” she says, four years after they decided they were getting out. She should have known, even then, that they weren’t deciding to get out, they were deciding to choose each other over anything else.

Summary
He missed her.
God, this is worse than a break up. He would have laughed at himself if he wasn’t so fucking sad.
It was like Robin had taken half his soul with him when she’d stormed out of their apartment two Saturdays ago. Like she’d packed her duffle, snagged her jacket off of the counter, and ripped his arms off on her way out the door. He didn’t feel like a whole person anymore.
One of their coworkers at the coffee shop had called them ‘unhealthily codependent’ once. Steve thought he understood what they’d meant now.
or
Steve and Robin have a fight they both should have seen coming.

“I told him I’m done.”
A pause.
“Did you mean it?”
Steve sighs. “No.”
This is a fic about Steve through the eyes of the people who love him most, and through his own. A love letter to Steve's character, basically.

Summary
What do you call someone who you share your every thought with, who knows the deepest feelings in your soul, who has seen below the surface, seen you ugly and naked and angry and sad, who sat with you for hours and hours, who endured torture in a Russian bunker, far below the earths surface, with you? What do you call that?

Summary
They’re quiet, then, breathing in each other’s exhaled air and exchanging it with their own. It would be romantic, if it was 1985. If Steve hadn’t yet known the feeling of taking a punch by a man trained to throw them. If Steve was still a puppet of a person, too big for the body he was born into yet too small to try to crawl out of it.
But it’s not, of course. It’s 1987, and he still sees the swirls of the Starcourt ceiling when he closes his eyes. It’s 1987, and he still cries when Back To The Future comes on.
It’s 1987, and his best friend is leaving for college in the morning.

"I need you to train me."
He's pretty sure his brain just malfunctioned.
"Me? I- I don't know how any of your..." he gestures at her wildly, "how your magic juju works."
"It's not magic."
"Same difference. I don't know shit about it."
She huffs, frustrated, bouncing on her feet with anger, a teenager again. An annoyed teenager, at that. God, no wonder she and Dustin are friends.
"It's not that. It's... Lucas said... Lucas said you helped him train. For his basketball trials last year."
********
Or:
Eleven asks Steve for help training to beat the obstacle course. Enter: Coach Harrington. Turns out they have way more in common than they expected.

Summary
Steve's love for Robin is not quiet. Neither is hers. The two are a chaotic mix of sarcasm, gentle touches, late-nights talks, shared, trauma, and love. As the two navigate life as adults they must also look within themselves and navigate the new revelations and changes that result simply from growing up.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

Summary
They care, Steve repeats to himself. They care. People care about him. It’s not ideal, but it’s something. He can work with it. Nobody’s ever been voted Prom King after they had a breakdown in the parking lot during study hall.
-
Robin hates boys. This guy’s voice sounds just as annoying as her crying does, though, so at least it isn’t just her being victimized by the bathroom tiles.
-
Steve and Robin have always had something in common. It just took them a while to figure it out.

Summary
Three days after Vecna, Robin tries to kiss Steve. Tries to be something he deserves. Someone who can fuck him, be with him. Something better, a good person like she isn't. She tries to not be fucked up. Steve doesn't let her.
If only for a moment they are wild and cold, faces up to the unreflective sky, just a boy and a girl holding hands watching the stars as the wind tugs and pulls them, kindly cruel in a way that mends.
Maybe they don’t need anyone else, she thinks, maybe they can stay there until the wind strips them to their bones. She wouldn’t mind dying if it was with Steve.
He turns to her and she thinks he might kiss her but then he’s just holding her against his chest and it feels like such an impossibly mean thought to have about Steve, to even think that he might do that to her, that she starts crying. Sometimes she thinks she doesn’t deserve him and he doesn’t deserve how she thinks about him. He’s just so much good sometimes Robin thinks something must turn for the worst, surely King Steve isn’t all gone, surely at some point he’s going to reveal himself: he was making fun of her the whole time, trying to make her normal.
