Summary
Steve knows what Dustin wants. He knows why Dustin wants the treehouse.
It’s a bribe. It’s a bribe for the other boys.
Steve doesn’t have the heart to tell the kid it won’t work. That his dad’s reputation precedes him or something ugly like that.
(The kid does seem sweet though.)

Summary
“I told him I’m done.”
A pause.
“Did you mean it?”
Steve sighs. “No.”
This is a fic about Steve through the eyes of the people who love him most, and through his own. A love letter to Steve's character, basically.

Septic bat-bites and soggy PB-and-Js by katya1828 for setzappersto_pew

Summary
Robin curled an arm around Steve. “All you need to do is keep being Dustin’s friend, Steve. You’re shockingly good at that, though… It might help if you admitted that you’re hurting too.”
“For Eddie?” Steve glanced up. His face had turned white and kinda waxy. “I hardly knew him. I got no right.”
“You’ve got every right. We didn’t know him long, but after what we went through—we all learned to love him. So, if Dustin’s not okay, neither are you, and it majorly sucks.”
setzappersto_pew prompted me for an alternate-ish S4 ending, focussing on Steve actually getting medical care for his bat bites etc., and on the grief of Eddie’s loss. This is only a little one-shot, so it probably doesn’t do justice, but hope you like :)

Summary
“Don’t question yourself. You’ve got good instincts. And—”
“What?” She sounded sharper than she’d meant, if not as sharp as she felt—sharp to the point of brittleness, frozen. A cracked and jagged plate of ice he was treading on.
Soft-footed, like that made any difference. Unless it made all the difference: his smile had dropped, but his eyes met hers. “And you know about it,” he told her. “You always have.”
[Nancy and Steve, after everything. But everything, of course, is never over.]

He’s never ready.
That’s not what counts.
