    Summary

    “How long do you have?” he asks, staring intently into Eddie's big, dark eyes. Eddie looks at him for a long while.
    “Got nothin’ but time,” he eventually says, and Steve notes that his voice has a sort of gentle lilt when he speaks softly, something sweet and southern running through it. “Rich in that at least.”
    And so Steve sits down on the ground in the dirt. The air's hot and sticky, and by the time he stops talking, he isn't sure he's ever been that parched, not ever. He talks and talks. He doesn't stop for a long while.
    Eddie Munson listens quietly.

    ---

    The battle at Starcourt might have culminated in the end of the upside down back in '85, but Steve is still plagued by nightmares. Years later, he's the last one left in Hawkins - content to stay there, safe and alone and fading into nothing as the summer heat peaks again.
    A three am rendezvous at Sattler quarry changes that.

    Summary

    Robin raised her brows. 

    “You know what, Harrington?” She nodded her head. “Yeah, you know what? I dare you to make a friend. I dare you.”

     

    Read for Steve in Denial, excessive D&D gameplay, Robin as a mermaid, and Eddie's glinting rings.

    As one reader said “the most frustratingly dense version of Steve I have ever read and I am HERE for it”

    Summary

    Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone.

    So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

    Summary

    "Why would you need to be on PrEP?" Robby asked slowly, suddenly feeling like he was floating outside his body, watching this scene from a distance.

    Jack looked at him obviously. "'Cause I'm planning on getting railed and it's the responsible thing to do," he said, like this should be no surprise at all rather than Jack coming out to him. At Robby's silence, Jack narrowed his eyes. "Got a problem with that?"

    Robby blinked, slamming back into his body, aware of his elevated heart rate, the sweat prickling along his lower back and at the backs of his knees, making his dress slacks clammy. "Nope," he said, because he didn't. He didn't.

    He just...hadn't known, that was all.

    Summary

    It's safe to say that Steve had a habit of getting dragged into Upside-Down situations he's not prepared for. But he'd made peace with putting his body on the line to protect his friends. It's a little harder to accept that his friends might feel the same about him.
