Summary
“No one will sign off on clearing Mr Munson’s name while every news station in America is yelling about his guilt. The best case scenario here will be a new identity and witness protection.” The government agent says, as if that’s no big deal. Just destroying someone’s life, as you do.
Steve turns to the agent. “So you’re saying that if I get them to stop talking shit, your people clear his name for real? Like if I can get the court of public opinion, I don’t know, neutral? Or at least the journalists on, say, just as a random example, ATN news?”
The story of the phone call from hell. Or: What if Steve Harrington was the youngest Roy sibling?

Summary
If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.
Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.
Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.
Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.
So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

Summary
Steve Harrington was a name nearly everyone in Hawkins had heard—spoken with admiration in the hallways, with annoyance by teachers who’d learned to brace for trouble, and with that particular kind of envy people saved for those who looked like they had it all.
But before he'd been Steve, he'd been Seven.
Or
How Steve reunites with his long lost sister, fights monsters, and gains a family.

Summary
The bleachers were packed with families: parents and grandparents and siblings, all dressed up, all holding cameras and flowers and balloons. Steve could see them from where he sat, could see the way they waved at their graduates, calling out names and taking pictures. The gym was full of people celebrating, full of love and pride and joy.
None of it was for him.
He knew the kids wouldn’t—couldn’t—be here, even if they wanted to be. They were still in school, and teachers wouldn’t have let them leave for the ceremony, since none of them were actually related to Steve.
His parents weren't here either. Steve had known they wouldn't be—had known it with the kind of bone-deep certainty that came from a lifetime of disappointments—but there was still a small, stupid part of him that had hoped. That had thought maybe, just maybe, they'd show up for this. His high school graduation: that was the thing parents were supposed to care about, right?
They probably didn't even remember it was today.
Probably didn’t even know he was graduating at all.
