So Much Better When We're Scared Together by HardlyHalcyon (HalcyonFrost)

Summary
Steve Harrington was a self-absorbed, vapid asshole. So why the hell was Robin still obsessed with watching him when there was nothing interesting about him?
Right?
Or: if Steve and Eddie had become friends (and other things) before season three, and Robin watches through her own lens of hating the former jock while recognizing something changed and familiar about him.
Or the ultimate summary: S3 from Robin's POV, including Steddie.

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

Summary
When Steve sees Eleven again, he wants to cry.
_
Steve Harrington was raised in Hawkins Lab, and he's spent the past six years trying his best to forget. It doesn't matter that he can stop time with his mind or that most nights he wakes up screaming. He's Steve, not Seven. He's moved on.
Or at least he thought he had, until the little sister he thought was dead shows up.

Sleep on the Floor; Dream About Me by Clatter_pillar
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)

Summary
Over the course of her life—both outside of the circus, and within it—Jax has wanted a lot of things that she thought she couldn’t have. She's lost friends over it before (in the most vague and the most terrible sort of ways), and she nearly lost everything she had with Pomni over it, too.
She’d been resigned to avoiding it all for so long because none of it was supposed to be for her. But having arrived at some new conclusions with the help of an appearance-changing adventure and an argument in the woods, she thinks that maybe it’s time to figure out the kind of life she really wants to live. She knows who she is, now, after all; surely that has to count for something?
(But this is, of course, about more than being a girl.)
(Or: A series of girls’ nights between Pomni and 'Jax'. Two where they hesitate for just a moment too long, and one where they don't.)

Summary
“'Are you just here to—to make fun of me, then?'
Helen smiled faintly. 'Would you believe me if I said we were here to help you?'
Jon blinked. That made even less sense than the idea that they were treating him as some sort of zoo animal. 'Probably not,' he finally managed. 'Are you?'
Helen tilted her head to the side, seeming to consider her reply. 'That depends on you.'”
Or: the one where, after the archival assistants stage their 'intervention' to stop Jon from taking live statements, a little group of avatars, assembled by Helen, stage a different intervention.
They agree he's making terrible life choices. They have very different opinions about what those terrible life choices are.
(Or: wanna see how many TMA-related heartbreaks I can fix by giving Jon some actual friends?)
