Summary
The phone rang.
Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.
***
Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.
But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.
When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.

Summary
“Okay.” Steve buries his head in his arms face down on the coffee table in his basement. “Okay. A major lab incident I can get behind. Shit, the kid going missing I can understand. But what the hell do you mean there are monsters now?!”
“He didn’t say monsters,” Paperboy rolls his eyes, which looks really funny since he is doing a headstand against the wall. “Don’t be dramatic, Finney.”
“Griffin said the words ‘slimy tentacle vines of unimaginable cosmic horrors’” Steve deadpans, still face down.
“That doesn’t immediately mean monster.”

Steve Harrington has heard the phone ringing ever since he got out of the basement. Moving to Hawkins, Indiana didn't do much to change that.

Summary
The party just wanted to have a normal movie night. Just like all movie nights have been for the last couple of months, but something had to go wrong. Again.
Is it the upside down. Or something else entirely?Steve’s not sure, but this is definitely bad, like really bad. Not only is this an invasion of his privacy, this tape has footage of the stuff that happened in ‘78. Stuff that is definitely way more important than to label as just Stuff.
—————
Basically a reaction fic… to Steve Harrington also being Finney Blake.
And the whole party reacts. -

Summary
That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.
- Chapter Sneak Peek -
“…I don’t hate you Hargrove,” he said. “I sure as hell don’t like you, but I do not hate you.”
(Did not like Chapter 7. Will re-post later)
