    Summary

    Steve Harrington has never been good at asking for help. Especially not since he started being seen as the protector of the group.

    Summary

    Eddie reached a hand out and gently tucked his fingers under Steve’s chin, tilting it upwards and turning Steve’s face just a little to the side as he observed something on Steve’s face with a look of intense speculation. Steve couldn’t say for certain, but there was almost a tiny bit of anger there just along the edges, like he was stifling away anger at whatever it was that he was looking at.

    Surely he wasn’t looking at the-

    “Somebody put their hands on you, sugar?”

    --

    Steve is a Bartender working with his best friend Robin at 'The Upside Down' a music venue where a popular up and coming band called "Corroded Coffin" is set to play.

    Summary

    1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.

    Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.

    OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

    Summary

    “Your heart’s racing,” Steve noted, quietly.

    Eddie laughed. It was more of a shaky exhale, lashes fluttering as he struggled to keep his composure. “Stevie,” he whispered, fingers cradling Steve’s side like he was precious. “Yeah, no fucking shit.”

    OR: Ma Henderson & Wayne Munson get cosy, Dustin makes an off-hand remark, and Steve spirals. It works out in the end.

    Summary

    Grace is already not doing well thanks to the rationing he and Simon have had to undergo to make sure they make it to Erid alive, and Rocky accidentally falling out of his xenonite tubes and getting exposed to their atmosphere again is not helping.
