Summary
The redhead moves closer to Hargrove, kneeling on some of Will’s drawings. He groans softly, like he can sense her approaching, and one of his hands flinches. By the pathetic sound he makes, Steve thinks the jerk isn’t in attack mode any more; he might actually be trying to get away from her.
“You’re okay, dipshit,” Max sighs before turning to the police chief. “He will be okay, right?”
“Should be,” Hopper replies, though by the way his mouth twitches nobody really buys it.
“Maybe Hargrove should go to the hospital too,” Dustin offers, his brows knitting together. “He kind of got punched a few times, and that tranquilizer was meant for Will. But, like, possessed Will.”
“Your choice, kid.”
Max turns towards Hopper, confused.
“What do you mean?”
—This is an AU which starts at the end of s2 and tries to fill in some of the gaps. This is also my attempt at having Hopper and Joyce more or less adopt Max and Billy. The usual background pairings apply, but this is mainly a Harringrove story with implied Byler.

Summary
As if being the designated babysitter wasn't enough, Steve finds himself accidentally becoming the group's designated birthday baker. Not that he minds - he likes to feel needed, plus it's a good distraction from the nightmares that have plagued him since that fateful night at the mall.
He does mind, however, the fact that Billy Hargrove seems to be weaving his way into the group. He's apparently had a personality transplant since the Mind Flayer nearly tore him apart, or so the story goes, but Steve isn't duped. It's fine, though, he can carry on ignoring the guy and ignoring the way his face still tingles with the ghost of Billy's fists.
But then, get this.
Steve has to bake Billy a birthday cake, too.

Summary
“Steve, I’ve solved your problem.”
“Huh?”
“I’ve found your dreamboat. Your perfect match, your other half- fits your type to a t. Literally right now, you could walk over and proposition this person to bear your six offspring and sail off into the sunset together in a shitty RV.”
Steve blinks at her bemusedly, and then she points out beyond the pool- where Eddie Munson sits in the grass, smiling lazily as El and little Holly Wheeler adorn him in daisy chains, giggling as he bows to each of them, adjusting his flowery crown.
Steve groans, face in his palms.
“Yeah,” he laughs dryly, “if only Eddie was a chick, huh?”
---
five times steve laments over the fact that eddie would be the perfect partner if he was a girl, and one time where he realises that’s no longer an issue for him

Summary
He didn’t know much but he did understand there was a strain between Dennis and his family. He gathered they didn’t approve of him being a doctor and being away. But Dennis didn’t speak much of them, even now, only a couple miles out from the farmhouse he grew up in. Even now, after they drove nearly twenty hours straight, with nothing but air and bad music between them.
***
Dennis’s dad is sick. Robby is on a two week leave for what his therapist calls a “mental health emergency.” Robby can’t be alone and Dennis doesn’t have gas money. They drive to Nebraska together.
