Summary
The air shifts, and a draft of cold caresses the high of his cheeks, ruffles through his hair. His ghosts are scattered to the wind, and he doesn’t look for them.
He lingers in the past in different ways.
Hawkins was better than Denver—or, at least, that’s what Steve wanted to convince himself, back then. Too young for the harsh reality of the world, too angry for anything beyond being broken, too something or another: Hawkins was where he would let it all go.
And he did.
He left behind his ghosts, his hauntings, his traumas, his whole damn fucking family and even his fucking name—and where did it get him?
Back in the same fucking place, in almost the exact same fucking manner. There’s an evil that lurks under this town, too, and Steve is often at the centre of it but at least he isn’t the sole focus of it.
or; '85 is supposed to be steve's year, isn't it? or maybe its just supposed to be another year where he survives, who knows (stranger things s3 rewrite)

Summary
Decorating a junkyard school bus with a bunch of middle schoolers isn’t, exactly, something Eddie thought he’d ever be doing. But, here he is, lifting metal sheets up for Steve’s inspection and heaving them over to the bus when he gets a nod, smelling like raw meat and forest trees.
His life’s fucking weird.
There’s a redhead he’s never seen before, helping him and Steve while Henderson and Sinclair whisper-shout at each other behind a car. He’s a second away from yelling at them to come help.
Steve beats him to the punch, and he swears he sees the little redhead laughing at the two under her breath.
He sticks close to Steve and his curled shoulders. Sticks close to Steve and his watchful eyes, keeping track of the kids when they stray too far to grab at something. Sticks close to Steve and the rattling of static coming from speakers that are barely held together.
or; after '83, eddie's life takes a turn he doesn't expect, and now he's dealing with the fallout of it all. who is steve harrington, really, and why is he so fucking enchanting? (stranger things s2 rewrite)

Summary
Steve Harrington is a liar, and an idiot, and losing his goddamn mind.
Okay. A little harsh, and only half truthful.
He’s staring at a dead sort of thing, blinking his eyes and hoping it’ll go away.
Barbara Holland. He’s staring at Barbara Holland.
He’s never—God, seeing them wasn’t a part of the deal. Not his deal, anyways, not his powers, or whatever the fuck he wanted to call it. Not his curse, not his burden, not his, not his, not his—
(no, actually, nothing about this is a part of Steve Harrington at all. They’re part of Finney Blake, who he left in Denver.)
Barb doesn’t disappear, even when he pretends he can’t see her, even when he rubs his eyes hard enough to hurt, even when he blinks.
She opens her mouth, and the phone starts ringing. There’s a slow drip-drip-drip that starts in the kitchen sink, and dampness fills the air.
or; finney moves to hawkins, changes his whole damn life, including his name, and the upside down ruins his chances at normalcy... (stranger things s1 rewrite)

Summary
Then, for some godawful reason, the window latch clicks, pane sliding up with a rickety thin sound; Barry snaps his head around, skin raising at his neck as he slams down the kettle — knuckles cracking, hand moving to his belt incase he needs a weapon because Allen luck is just that bad — only to see one Hal Jordan, in full Corps uniform, shove his leg through the window and promptly get stuck in the tiny frame.
The same Hal, who’s wiggling his pelvis so he can jam himself through the panel without dislocating his femur. The same Hal who looks up at Barry, gives a breathy, awkward laugh and asks; “Uh, hi, Bar. Mind helping me through?”
“I—“ Barry doesn't think he’s ever been so glad to see his best friend, something in his chest unwinding at the sight of him being okay. “Hal?”
(Or four, brief interconnected one shots that showcase just how important Hal and Barry are to each other for Halbarry week 2025.)

Summary
“I was sitting there.”
Hal lifted his head enough to squint at the spot Bruce was clearly no longer occupying. “Well, You're not in it.”
“I stepped away.” Bruce’s voice was dangerously flat. “I was gone for less than ten minutes.”
“Ten minutes is a lifetime in space battles, Spooky. You know what? I don’t care. I just flew, like, seventeen light-years and mediated an alien war. My spine is killing me. Find another seat.”
“There is no other seat.”
“There’s a whole room of—" Hal looked around. For the first time, his sleep-deprived brain actually registered the designs. “Oh.”
“Move.”
“No.”
“Lantern.”
“Nope. Nope nope nope.”
or the one where a furniture mishap leaves exactly one good seat in the Watchtower lounge, Hal won't give it up, Bruce won't back down, and somewhere in three weeks of stubborn proximity, they both stop wanting the space and start wanting each other.

Summary
After a brief fling with a closeted jock, Eddie Munson is outed at school and left to endure the fallout. Then the notes start appearing in his locker. Short, anonymous, sometimes funny, sometimes kind.
Eddie doesn't know who's writing them. Only that they're the only good thing that's happening.
He's pressing into Steve, using his weight to keep him pinned.
"You and your friends already humiliated me once. And now—what? More bait? I open a note and this time it's five guys in a bathroom instead of three? You stop it from happening because you wanted to be the one to do it yourself?"Steve tries to inhale but the air doesn't quite get there.
"N-no—" he chokes out, barely."So what is it?" Eddie spits.
"Some slow burn setup? You trying to soften me up before the next hit? You get bored of playing the hero and thought you'd string the freak along for a laugh?"Bookmarked by aetherealmoss
