    Summary

    The gate is closing.

    Dustin lands on the floor of the real-world Munson trailer, managing not to injure anything else this time, but he hardly notices as he sees the rift that has also split the world on this side begin mending itself. The roof and side of the trailer reform, sealing together as the vines and the very crack itself disappears. Looking back up, all Dustin can do is watch as the opening grows smaller and smaller.

    "Steve!" he calls, helpless. "No, no, no, no!"

    "It's okay!" Steve shouts back to him, even though Dustin knows that it isn't. "We'll find another way out! Get to Nancy and Robin!"

    And the vines retreat into the ceiling as the gate seals itself, slicing the last of the hanging sheet in half and leaving almost no trace that a giant portal to another world was ever there at all.

     

    *Or, Steve goes back for Dustin after everything and gets trapped in the Upside Down, alone with Eddie. But that is only the beginning.

    This story is from Robin, Dustin, Steve, and Eddie's POVs, as they all deal with what happens now.

    Summary

    Steve wakes up in an unfamiliar lab, stripped and strapped to a table. It goes about how you expect. *CHECK THE TAGS*

    I have no excuse for this, I just have a thing for lab settings and probes, and noticed the Steddie tag was lacking.

    Also apparently today is National alien day, so I guess it’s as good as day as any to post this.

    *INCLUDES NON-CON ELEMENTS, only in the first handful of chapters.* This is an alien experiment fic, Steve is not given a choice. Check the tags.

    Last handful of tags contain plot spoilers

    Summary

    Steve Harrington knew the lack of memory from his childhood wasn’t normal. But he also knew that neither were the interdimensional creatures, his parents' ability to never be home, or the fact that he could simply tell what someone is feeling. It isn’t until senior year when he goes through brain trauma a second time and meets a strange girl with powers that he starts to question the odd pills he has to take on the daily.

    Or: Another Steve has powers AU, Eddie and Robin being brought into the story earlier than canon, and Steve + Jonathan having friendship lore

    Summary

    In 1986, Vecna wins, turning Hawkins into a dystopian nightmare. Six months later, Steve―a hardened alpha―is sent by some primordial being back to the past. October 1983, exactly: before Will went missing, before Barb was killed, before Nancy broke up with him…before he even presented as an alpha.

    At first he’s thrilled at this new chance to change the future, but soon he realizes that it's a lot tougher than expected. Altering the past has unexpected consequences, and Steve, unfortunately, is an idiot. Before he can stop it, things seem to be careening out of control.

    In the middle of all of this, one question keeps nagging at him: why is Eddie Munson acting so weird?

    Summary

    Steve Harrington was a baldfaced lie. It was a mirage that two desperate people had crafted to save a scared, little boy. It was an easy name - only a letter different from that he’d always known. Steve was designed to be boring. A droll American name, fit to blend into a crowd. It was a name for a child from a wealthy family, another boy to take over his father’s company once he grew of age. Designed to be easy to talk about in a positive light, to be the standard teenager in an ordinary town.
    He played the part rather well. After all, it was better to be the spoilt rich son of an arrogant man, than to be a child with a number etched upon his wrist.

    aka, a rewrite of Stranger Things with Steve as a lab kid. it begins with season one, with plans to finish out the show in season five. featuring: immortality, immorality, and the terrors of Steve escaping a place that would always know to look for him.
