    Summary

    Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.

    It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.

    Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.

    Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

    Summary

    “Sorry, little brother,” he says. His thumbs trace the muscles in his neck. “You know. It was a neat trick. But I’m afraid you just aren’t that special, in the end.”

    Or: In a world where after Eight escapes, and before Eleven, another child makes it out of the lab.

    Summary

    The phone rang.

     

    Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.

    ***

    Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.

    But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.

    When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington can talk to ghosts. Sometimes. More accurately, ghosts can talk to Steve Harrington, and this fact has already saved his life once. He's really hoping they feel up to helping him a second time around, because it seems like the Upside Down isn't done with Hawkins yet.

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
