    Summary

    Steve has never won a fight. He’s had his ass kicked left, right, and center. Hell, Johnathan has kicked his ass. Steve can bat a monster, but when it comes to people? Steve Harrington has never really won a fight.

    But that’s because he’s getting put in the wrong kinds of fights. They think he’s a hammer, when really, anyone who grew up BFFs with Carol becomes a scalpel.

    (Dustin gapes like a fish. “Holy shit, dude…” Steve would chide language if he thought it would do anything. “You just performed real life Vicious Mockery. I think that guy took psychic damage!”)

     

    ~~~

     

    Or: someone thinks he’s tough shit and is messing with Steve’s kids. Cue the Boss Battle Music. Mama Steve rips the guy to shreds, as he should.

    Summary

    Steve huffs. “I have no idea where I am,” he admits.

    The guy looks at him and then around the bathroom. “You speaking, like, metaphorically, or?”

    Steve throws his hands up, beginning to pace. “Metaphorically, metaphysically, meta-fucking-literally! Yes! All of it, yes!”

    “Right,” random guy says.

    “I’m, like, so confused right now. One minute I’m at home, looking through some loser’s crap, the next I wake up and shit is, like, fucking weird. I think I’m in hell.”

    “So this is like,” random guy pauses in thought. “A religious crisis. You’re Catholic, right?”

    (Steve Harrington gets trapped in Stranger Things, an 80s themed horror RPG, and there's only one way out.)

    Summary

    The first documented case of a Blessed was in 64 AD. Amongst the fire and chaos of Nero's burning of Rome, chroniclers of the event would later pen eye witness testimony of a lone woman heralding people to safety. They said that she pushed back the flames with her mind, opened a tunnel to lead them away from the destruction and pulled a small boy from a collapsing wall half a mile away from where he had been standing.

    or

    Steve Harrington is a good babysitter, so the author made that his superpower.

    Summary

    “All right, Henry. You wanted me. Here I am. No more pretending, no more shoving it all in a closet to hide all the bad parts. I was a bully. I scared people. I wanted to scare people. People who were already afraid. People who were different. Boys who weren’t tough. Boys who were like me. Boys who thought about kissing other boys. Boys who were soft. Boys who cried.” Steve's voice trembles, his shoulders droop, body going lax like he’s letting go of something.
