   Summary

   Dustin was the first to notice that Steve wasn't who they all thought he was, that there was something more to him than they had thought. However he wasn't the only one to notice. Over the past year after defeating Vecna, each of the kids have all had at least one moment when they have noticed something about Steve Harrington that made them realise something they hadn't considered before. For once in Steve's life, he is finally being really seen, whether he wants to be or not.

   A non chronological collection of observations, moments and realisations by the kids. Connected to previous work in series, would recommend reading that first for context, but I don't think it's strictly required to read this.
