Summary
In his defense, Steve does immediately realise that something’s wrong when he wakes up in Nancy’s pastel-purple bedroom.
He’s just a little foggy on the what.
...
or, the one where Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan all swap bodies not long after the Battle of Starcourt, and somehow have to all get along for long enough to figure out how to fix it. -

Summary
After a harrowing near-death experience and a romance that changed everything he knew about himself, Steve Harrington is doing just fine, thank you. But when a simple errand with Dustin Henderson turns into a trip through time to the days of Will's disappearance, he has to navigate through battles of the past, friends unaware monsters exist, and a Steve Harrington he can barely recognize.
A revisitation of Season One that grabs themes (and some characters) from later seasons, with lots of Dustin-Steve bonding, mistaken identity, DnD metaphors, El being El, Steve and Robin vibing early, and homeschool for the temporally displaced.
Now complete! We have French, Spanish, and Portugese-speakers who've read and reviewed this fic. If anyone is interested in translating, please let me know.

Summary
Steve Harrington has survived his third and final battle with the evils that lie beneath Hawkins, Indiana, and has come out of it a shell of the man he once was. Following a teeny tiny mental breakdown, he is back home again with his cold, uncaring parents, surrounded by friends who love him but are desperately hoping for him to find some normalcy in life. Enter Steve's new boss, lawyer E. Edward Munson, Esquire, and a whole new world of wonder that walks the line of pleasure and pain, submission and control, and a deeper understanding of himself than Steve has ever had before. It is anything but normal.

Summary
It's been months since the Gate under Starcourt closed, and now the only thing the Party has to deal with is growing pains. High school isn't easy, and Steve wants to help them through it.
But the Upside Down isn't done with them. And this time, the enemy might be a little closer to the former subjects of Hawkins Lab than anyone suspected.Series
