Summary
“You can be my trusted adult,” Dustin cuts in.
Steve blinks several times. “Huh?”
“You’re an adult,” Dustin says, like he’s talking to a three-year-old.
“…yes, Dustin.”
“And my mom trusts you.”
“Yeah, but…wait.” Steve sits back up, ramrod straight in his chair. “You’re not suggesting…”
“Come with me to New Zealand,” Dustin finishes, then adds a quieter: “Please?”
***
When Dustin Henderson parent-traps Steve and Eddie into taking him to New Zealand for a holiday and some Lord of the Rings sight-seeing, Steve's forced to confront the reality of what he really wants out of life. Is it working for his father in a job he despises to afford his sky-rise apartment in Chicago and the status that comes with it, or is it something else, something simpler, something truer to himself? On the windy back roads of New Zealand, amongst the most stunning scenery he's ever seen and with old flame Eddie Munson in his passenger seat, he figures it out.

Summary
Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?
Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?
(OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)
(OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)
(OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)

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
“But we’re gonna come and visit you anyway, big guy,” Eddie adds.
“Sure. Just, ah…don’t expect much in the way of entertainment,” Steve grumbles.
“You can just sit there and look pretty, how’s that? Won’t be hard for you,” Eddie replies, smooth.
Steve’s cheeks heat up again.
*****
A traumatic brain injury leads to a downward spiral for Steve. He's dropped from the Blackhawks, his recovery is slow and rocky, and he's got no idea what to do with his life.
Enter his old friends, Eddie and Dustin, who spend their time poking around decrepit haunted locations filming for their YouTube channel. Steve doesn't really believe in all this ghost stuff, but he's got nothing better to do than join them.
Besides, he might just be ever-so-slightly head-over-heels for Eddie Munson.

Summary
Erica goes missing. When Stiles sets out to find her, he discovers a house that shouldn’t exist, a man that’s both beauty and beast, and now he’s trapped in something a lot more Brothers Grimm. At least it’s got a cool library, right?
