    Summary

    Eddie's gaze lingers on him. Soft, fond, and just for a moment Steve feels a bit like a bug in an enclosure himself. Specifically, one of Eddie's favourite little bugs.

    Something wet hits his shoulder.

    Outside the enclosure, a child points at him and laughs.

    "Wonderful," Steve mumbles, staring at the bird shit now decorating his sleeve.

    "Oh, you got a little something…" Eddie reaches out towards Steve's hair, then pulls his hand back. "Well. Everywhere, really."

    *****

    Steve works in the farmyard section of Hawkins Zoo, and spends his days mucking out barns and trying not to fall in love with his co-worker in the Insect House.

    He fails.

    A little orphan lamb, some nudging from his best friend, and a whole lot of chemistry brings him and Eddie together.

    Summary

    Steve sometimes had to check himself in the mirror to make sure that everything that he remembered had happened. And then he’d see the myriad of scar tissue, and the way that he couldn’t hear what he was saying, despite seeing his chapped lips move, and he’d remember that 'oh yeah, I may or may not be living above literal hell'.

    or

    It's November 1990, over four years since the events of series four. Everyone has their own lives now, but Steve... Steve is lost.

    Summary

    “It’s not mine, it’s… it’s Eddies,” his voice is trembling like the hands that grab Steve by the wrists to stop his fussing. Hiccups interrupt his words, but he powers through. “You gotta help him, Steve, please. Please help him.”
    .
    Steve nods, taking in the way Dustin doesn’t dare look away from his eyes, purposely avoiding the bloodied Eddie on the ground. “Okay,” he presses his forehead to Dustin's, successfully trapping them in their own little world, and whispers. “I’ve got him. I’ve got you.”

    Summary

    When ten-year-old Steve Harrington's life gets turned upside down, he has to learn to navigate his new life. Every night, he transforms back into a human. And every morning, without fail, he returns to the water as a merman.

    When Steve turns 18, he is allowed more freedom. He doesn't see the point in trying to reconnect with his human half, that is, until Eddie Munson walks into his life, a human who sees more than Steve expects, with a laugh that pulls him toward the sun and a warmth that might finally make the world feel worth staying for.

    Summary

    “I am not leaving you to spiral! Your only chance to get me to leave is if the Goblin King came and whisked me away himself! Which isn't gonna happen so you’re stuck with me!”

    “Oh, is that what it's gonna take?” Steve said, ripping the blanket out of her hand, which only made her folds come undone. He was losing his patience with her at this point and it looked like Robin was getting just as frustrated.

    “Yes!”

    “Fine, then I give permission for him to come and take you away from me!” he said as he shooed her away with his hands and walked towards the stairs to get away from her. She only followed.

    “That’s not even the line! The real or the fake one!” She shouted at him as they both stomped up the stairs. “Steven whatever-your-middle-name-is Harrington!”

    “It’s Jonathan.” Steve screamed back and flipped her the bird as he turned down the hall.

    “Bullshit! That’s Byer’s name!”
