    Summary

    The sound of something moving snaps him out of his thoughts. When he turns to see what made it, his chest tightens. Hunched asleep in a chair, arms folded in front of him and head lolled forward, is Hopper. Steve watches as he shifts again, readjusting his shoulders and stretching his legs out in front of him.

    Summary

    Phil Callahan has made a large variety of strange arrests in his time working as a cop for Hawkins, Indiana. Daylight skinny-dippers; a small group of old ladies who’d attempted to rob the corner shop with their umbrellas, a guy who’d stolen a total of eighteen gnomes from his suburban neighborhood.

    But pulling over Max Mayfield driving her brother’s Camaro at the ripe age of thirteen was pretty insane. Sure, kids will be kids and kids will be crazy. Until Steve Harrington crawled out of the backseat, clutched his knees and horror-movie hurled blood all over his boots and shit got crazier.

    That took it from a minor concern to oh, fuck. Callahan has to take this kid to a hospital.

    Summary

    Three shots ring out.

    Steve hears them before he feels them; a warm, wet pain burning in his torso, intolerably excruciating.

    There’s a bundle of squawks and screams, outbursts of panic and anger, and it’s only when Hopper falls forwards to take Steve up into a slightly rough, protective hold, does he realize that two of those shots have lodged themselves in his own flesh and bone. (Realizes that he’d moved, instinctively, to shield El, despite never having spoken to her, who’d the gun had been so precisely pointed at, aimed for.)

    Steve Harrington watches his own blood pool and trickle over a series of hands pressed against him, small and large, soft and rugged, and for a moment, wants to stay like this. He can’t.

    Summary

    After saving the world for a second time, Steve doesn't have anywhere to go. His house is empty and isolating, and a pile of blank college applications sits perpetually untouched on his coffee table. He has no friends, no popularity, and no future, but at least he has a bat full of nails and a decent concussion.

    Yeah. He's screwed.

    Or: How Steve deals with the aftermath of fighting interdimensional monsters, plans his future, and finds a family.
