    Summary

    Steve knows he’s a monster.

    It’s always been in his head that he’s a freak, something cruel and unforgiving and something that can’t get into its own goddamn pool because he still feels the dark pressure of the Upside Down just beyond it, the vengeful eyes of Barbara Holland inside it. He still feels like he’ll take off his shirt and the dark imprints of his wings, just inches under the skin of his back, will be tattooed on him like a brand for all his new family to see. And he’s terrified of that most of all ‒ the unshakeable imprint of every monstrous thing he is, every terrible thing he’s done, permanent and glaring in the faces of everything anyone knows about Steve ‘the hair’ Harrington.

    Or, Steve Harrington is eighteen years old, and he loves.

    Summary

    Steve blurts, “I want your sperm.”

    The words echo off of the bathroom tile and Eddie is as still as a statue. Nobody moves. Steve feels the mortification rising swiftly like water in a well and he wishes that he could drown in it. It doesn't let him, gathering in his chest and his cheeks and making his entire being tremble with its scope and scale.

    Eddie’s quiet for probably ten solid seconds, his face utterly blank and impassive as he processes this statement.

    Then he shrugs and starts undoing his belt.

    Summary

    “Have you ever wanted to be invisible?” Steve asked, looking out at the sheer cliffs on the other side of the quarry. It was a thought he’d held onto for a while, letting it form mostly in the early hours of the morning when he was alone in the dark.

    “You mean like a superhero and shit?” Eddie asked, blowing out smoke and taking another drag from his cigarette.

    Summary

    In 1815, twenty-year-old William Hargrove is a celebrated sea captain, hero of the French navy, beloved by his crew and son of Marseille's respected governor. His star flies high, and he's supported at every turn by his first mate and secret lover Steve Harrington. It seems nothing can bring him down—

    —until he's suddenly and unexpectedly accused of treason, and sent without trial to the fearsome Chateau d'If, a nightmarish prison where he faces horrific torture and abuse, and from which there can be no escape. In one stroke, Billy loses his freedom, his reputation, his friends and his position - and he's forced to leave behind his beloved Steve, never to see him again.

    The Chateau d'If offers little in the way of hope... but Billy swears that he'll have his vengeance against those who have betrayed him. He'll escape the lonely prison, regain his power and fortune, and reclaim everything he's lost - including Steve.

    Summary

    “Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-”

    “I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him.

    Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.”

    “Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously.

    Or: Road trip!

    Summary

    He’d been asleep, in his bedroom, when it happened. His parents were screaming from downstairs, and the smell of smoke filled his nose. He found out later, much later, that his mother had forgotten to turn off the stove. One thing led to another, and the entire house was on fire. Steve had just enough time to grab his wallet, a jacket, and some shoes, before he had to leave the house. His parents went out the front, he went out his back window. The fire was so bad that several of the trees were catching fire and it was impossible to round the house and get to the front yard.

    Steve Harrington is declared dead, but he is very much alive. So he figured he would just roll with it.

    Summary

    Getting home that night, Steve couldn’t help but freeze as he felt the slight draft. He’d closed everything before he left that morning. Part of him feared someone had broken into the house, maybe to rob or kill him. But deep down, Steve knew that wasn’t what the case was. He knew exactly who was in his house.

    Rounding into the living room, Steve ignored the open door in favor of glaring at the person sitting in Mr. Harrington’s arm chair.

    “Mother.”

    Summary

    There was definitely something wrong with Steve’s head as he quickly drove the Camaro back to the Byers’ house. His vision was fuzzy, and he had a burning headache. He hadn’t noticed it earlier because of the adrenaline, but he was struggling to focus on the road. Like his eyes wouldn’t adjust or something. Steve guessed he probably had a concussion. The worst part was that the kids seemed to notice something was wrong with him too.

    Summary

    It had been, what, four to five years since the last time he was taken? It was just sort of a thing when he was younger. Someone would come, kidnap him, and he’d be held hostage for a bit until his parents paid the ransom. It was just a thing that happened because his parents were rich. Even the police were aware of it. Well, maybe not Hopper. He had only started working there about four years ago.

His mom hasn't changed, but his Aunt Becky is certainly surprised to see him.

     

    Or: Steve is the son of a long-since divorced John Harrington and Terry Ives, and he believed his mother had a miscarriage and went crazy.

    Summary

    Nobody calls Stephanie Harrington “Stephanie”, or even “Steph.” There are five other Stephanies in her grade, and there are only so many nicknames that name can derive. Instead, she goes by Stevie, because when she was a kid, her best friend Tommy’s older brother used to tease and call her Steve or Stephan. The third Hagan kid also had a boyish nickname, Charlie for Charlotte, so it was the kind of teasing she didn’t mind.

     

    Or, an overly self-indulgent retelling of ST, featuring my beloved, mean girl with a heart of gold, Stevie Harrington. We're taking it from the top, folks!

    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

    The first documented case of a Blessed was in 64 AD. Amongst the fire and chaos of Nero's burning of Rome, chroniclers of the event would later pen eye witness testimony of a lone woman heralding people to safety. They said that she pushed back the flames with her mind, opened a tunnel to lead them away from the destruction and pulled a small boy from a collapsing wall half a mile away from where he had been standing.

    or

    Steve Harrington is a good babysitter, so the author made that his superpower.

    “Can you take us to a late showing of —"

    Steve bites his lip, sighing and preparing for inevitable backlash, “I can't, I'm babysitting."

    “What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”

    “Yeah I’m babysitting other kids.” Steve sighs, looking back at Beth and Annie bickering over one of their teddy bear guests.

    “Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”

    Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”

    “You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.
