    Summary

    The front door opens, stopping Erica’s lecture in its tracks, and Stefanie Harrington steps through, heels clicking on the entryway floor, tidily packed suitcase rolling behind her, already talking in her brusque, matter-of-fact way as the door swings shut behind her.
    “Stefan, I regret to inform you that your father and I have severed our personal and business partnership permanently. As the house is in my name, you may of course continue to reside her, but be advised that your father will not be allowed on the premises. If you see him loitering you have my full permission to key his car or slash his tires or whatever it is the young people do to punish wrongdoing.”

    Steve's mom divorces his dad, reconciles with her son, falls in love with a woman, and starts her life over. In that order.

    Summary

    “Are your parents spies?”
    “What? No.” No, they’re just a space alien and a woman from the future who briefly was all of time and space, no big deal.
    “Are they…no, sorry, can’t think of any better reasons for there to be a weird vault of futuristic technology in your house, Steve.” Dustin says his name with a strange sort of emphasis, like he wants to impress upon Steve that he knows exactly who his is and what he’s about and he’s not going to get away with any of his shenanigans while Dustin is about. Steve wishes Dustin would clue him in on who Steve is and what he’s about because he’s beginning to wonder who and what that is exactly, if he ever knew in the first place.

     

    AU where Steve Harrington's parents are the Doctor and Rose Tyler and somehow he's still fighting monsters with a baseball bat.

    Summary

    Now fully on the ground, he whipped around to face the beast, snatching up his bat as he turned.

    It was still trapped.

    He really didn’t have the patience for this.

    “Hey, Shithead! Your personal space bubble doesn’t get to be this whole fuckin’ cave!” He growled back.

    Summary

    Things in Hawkins are downright terrible when the Upside Down comes back but even when the residents of Hawkins are given a break, the town could do with some major improvements.

    And if The Party have to take it upon themselves to fix the mistakes?
    Well, it's not like they haven't had to do it before.

    Summary

    Steve overhears Nancy telling Jonathan that he's "too much" and realizes he's been acting far too clingy in his attempt to be friends again.

    --

    Right, of course she wouldn't want to say anything to him. Nancy still felt bad about how they'd ended. That wasn't exactly a surprise; it was there behind her eyes every time they invited him along to something. He should have known that might keep her from telling him when he was overstaying his welcome.

    Together, they turned to stare at Harrington, who had hunched further into himself now that Eddie was gone from the table.

    “If he turns on us I’m blaming you.” Gareth grumbled finally, and tried not to let the smile that broke out on Eddie’s face effect him.

    “Glad to hear you’re on board, Garebear.” Eddie said, patting his shoulder hard.

    Summary

    Steve didn't think there was anything particularly special about himself. He was just your average guy who had been raised by his now dead grandparents instead of his absent parents. He couldn't remember anything before the fourth grade, but that was fine, most people didn't. He was normal.

    The town he lived in, however, was a fucking spawning ground for evil. And of course that fucking Demogorgan had to knock his memories back into alignment.

     

    Or:

    Steve was one of the Numbers and blocked it out. The Demogorgan fight makes him remember his time in the lab. He tries to hide his revelation. Unfortunately for him, the Party are a bunch of nosy little shits.

    Summary

    A series following Steve Harrington as he unknowingly, unwillingly, loops time to save the ones he loves (and maybe realises that he can ask for help, is deserving of love, before, after, and during).

    The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. [COMPLETE, CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE]
    When anything and everything goes wrong in 1986, Steve realises that he can fix things, and maybe falls in love, along the way.

    After the events of '86, after everything has settled down, and everything is calm, people start to remember. The pieces start to slot together, and nobody likes the picture it creates.

    There’s Something In The Woods, And We’re No Longer Children. [COMPLETE]
    Steve Harrington is equal parts elusive and unobtainable, and all Eddie Munson wants to know is what's making those sounds in the woods.

    Summary

    Max and El complain that Steve only ever gives beauty advice to the boys. In the process of trying to rectify this, Steve learns a few new truths about himself.

    Eddie didn't think Steve could possibly have any more surprises to spring on him since the shock of him actually being a good guy had worn off. He probably should have learned by now to never assume anything about Steve Harrington.

    Summary

    It isn’t long after Nancy breaks Steve’s heart that he realises his words can deliver just as hard a hit as the nail ridden bat he always keeps somewhere nearby.

    Steve starts being mean, but only to those who deserve it. He's surprised by the effect it has, particularly on the long haired guy in his class who wears a myriad of rings on his guitar player fingers and occasionally happens to catch his eye.
