Steve’s No Good, Terrible, Kinda Perfect Life After Graduation by merry_magpie
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
08 Jun 2026

Summary
Moments after Steve managed to keep the kids alive in the tunnels, he was dosed by the Upside Down itself and given dangerous powers he barely had control over. What could have been the worst thing to happen to him turned out to be the best. He gained new friends, a new family, and control over his powers. All before he graduated.
Then the summer of 1985 happened. The Russians happened.
Steve's been different since those gates opened. He doesn't know why, but he's terrified something dark, a part of the lingering gift of the Upside Down, is growing inside him. He doesn't know what it means, and he's terrified to find out.

“Why not,” Max said as she grabbed Steve’s hand and let him help her up.
What could have been changed by Max having someone else to talk to after losing everything?

Just Because You've Done It Before Doesn't Mean You'll Do It Better by foresthearts

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
“Where is he?” The General asked, and Steve almost laughed in his face again.
“Ohhhh he’s long gone, you big asshole!” He smiled, and he could tell that the General didn’t like that. Good. “He’s probably calling Hopper and Hopper is calling the U.S. Cavalry, they’re going to come in here commando style, guns a-blazing and kick your sorry asses back to Russia, and you’re gonna be two pieces of toast.”
They laughed, because they knew it. Because there was no other possible future where the Russians won. He imagined the General, blood pooling around his body. Dead. The General would die, and Steve took comfort in that.
The General nodded at Steve, a smug smile spreading on his face, then turned to the Doctor and spoke some Russian. They talked there for a moment, then they both walked out without another word.
“That’s bad right?” Steve asked once they were alone again.
“Uh, yeah. Yeah, that’s pretty bad.”
They leaned their heads on each others’ shoulders, and they stayed silent for a very long time. He focused on nothing but the connection, and hoped everything would sort itself out. He hoped Henderson was on his way.

Summary
“You’re being weird,” Chrissy said. “With Steve.”
Eddie sighed and tossed the rag aside. “I’m not being weird. The kid’s just… suspicious, okay? Nobody shows up in a spotless Beemer, looking that good, just to take a desk job in this dump for minimum wage. He’s digging for something, I can feel it.”
Chrissy raised a brow. “Digging for what, exactly?”
He hesitated. “Hell if I know. Me?”
She stared, then snorted. “Right. The feds finally figured it out. Send in some pretty boy in tight jeans to make you confess.”
Eddie tried not to smile, and failed completely. “You joke, but that’s exactly how they’d get me.”
“Damn right it is.”

Summary
“Do any of you need a ride?”
The remaining freshmen shake their heads. And Lucas pipes up. “Dustin’s brother is getting us.”
“Ok. Cool.”
Upon opening the doors, all three kids race out to the parking lot, full sprinting to a car with a figure leaning against it. When Eddie reaches the gravel lot, he nearly keels over in shock. Reclined on his trademark maroon beamer is none other than Steve Harrington.
--*****--
Eddie Munson, in his determination to make 1986 his year, gets tangled up in Hawkins' local trauma-bonded family. It's not all bad though.

I'm bad at summaries, just read it. It's so fun I promise.

Summary
Steve’s visions might be disjointed, confusing, and generally a pain in the ass, but they did help him save Barb Holland. So when he has a new vision -- one that shows Bob Newby's death -- he knows he can’t ignore it.
Unfortunately, whatever’s creeping back into Hawkins isn’t waiting around for Steve to figure things out. The Upside Down is spreading, something is very wrong with both Will and Barb, and the demogorgons are definitely not done with them yet.
Now, Steve and his growing group of friends have to try to stop it before things get even worse. Which would be easier if Steve wasn’t also freaking out about the fact that he probably likes boys, and he definitely likes Eddie Munson.
Barb, meanwhile, is having plenty issues of her own, like terrifying hallucinations of the Upside Down, and even worse – an unrequited crush on her best friend.

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.

Summary
When he fought, it was as if fate hummed in agreement, nodding along as he spilled Death Eaters’ blood—as if it were a sacrifice. His magic buzzed and thrummed with power, as though fate itself were lending him strength he had never possessed. But the cost was his own life. His tragic death became the ultimate sacrifice that pleased fate.
But just as death freed him from vengeance and fear, fate dragged him back to fulfill the vow he had carelessly sworn on the battlefield.

Summary
Steve Harrington couldn't explain what was happening to him, but the reveal of heretofore unknown psychic powers would not have been on his bingo card.
Steve could hear the search party. They’d started up near the Byers house the day after Will was reported missing, slowly expanding out further and further into the woods. Their shouting—their begging—melded into white noise beneath the gentle susurrus of wind among the branches. Steve wondered if Will could hear them, wherever he was. Were he hiding in the hollow of a fallen tree or locked in someone's basement, maybe he could hear the hundreds of voices shouting his name and know that, no matter what, someone was searching for him.

Summary
In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.
A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning.
Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?
Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.
Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone who Steve shouldn't have any reason to care about. But no matter what Steve does, every path seems to lead him back to Eddie.

Summary
Eddie Munson prides himself on seeing through people. So when he starts noticing Steve Harrington—really noticing—it’s to catalogue the hypocrisy of a former king playing babysitter. But the longer he watches, the more the picture refuses to make sense. Harrington isn't playing a role. The care is real, the patience is bottomless, and Eddie's own prejudices are staring back at him, ugly and undeniable.
A story about observation, misconceptions, and wanting to talk to someone so badly you accidentally threaten them with a weapon.
