    Summary

    If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.

    Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.

    Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.

    Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.

    So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

    ----------

    Or: The one in which Steve has a Dark and Tragic Past™, a Southern accent, and two invisible shithead brothers.

    Summary

    “So let’s do it,” Steve says. “Let’s get married. No one has to know. But if something happens. No one can stop a man from seeing his wife, can they?”

    It's ridiculous. Steve knows it’s ridiculous. He still wants it.

    “No one can say you aren’t important, ” Robin says. “No one can make us be apart again."

    Or: Shaken after a scare, Steve and Robin become a family.

    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

    “You what?”

    Robin stared at Chrissy, eyes wide and mouth hanging open.

    “I like you,” Chrissy repeated, cheeks flushed from where she hadn’t quite meant to say it. “Not like a friend.”

    “You — but — but Steve!” Robin burst out, swiveling to turn her gaze on her best friend — and Chrissy’s boyfriend.
