Summary
Steve has accepted that their lives, his and everyone else's in the Party, is forever changed. Vecna won, Hawkins is now the Upside Down, and monsters are appearing left and right. He forces himself to pick up the pieces of what his life had become, helping the people around his as much as he could, knowing that there was nothing more he could do.
But, when Nancy knocks on his door with a plan to beat Vecna, things begin changing, and he's forced to reevaluate who he is after what happened to Hawkins, and what how far he is willing to go to help his family.

Summary
'She started spending extra hours at the library with Nancy and sometimes even Byers, when he wasn’t working. She started sleeping with her bat by her bed, the nails hidden by the skirt of her night table, and when a storm got bad and the lights began to flicker, she yanked the cleaver from the butcher’s block in the kitchen and slept with it under her pillow.
She slept restlessly, but she slept.'Stevie Harrington is on a self-improvement kick.
Figures, the evil forces from another dimension just have to come back and fuck it all up for her.
That, and Billy Hargrove. -

Summary
Steve's parents are home, and it's putting a huge damper on his relationship with Eddie. Like usual, he waits until his father goes to bed before calling his boyfriend, but he doesn't count on his father overhearing him. Steve has to deal with confrontation from his homophobic parents, but gets to unleash everything he's wanted to tell them for years.
Sometimes catharsis is yelling at your parents and threatening them with a nail bat.

Summary
An Age Reversal AU, excluding Erica Sinclair, Holly Wheeler, and Eddie Munson, where The Party are the older group and the Babysitters/Teenagers are the younger group. Also somewhat of a Role-Reversal in the case of Dustin and Steve, in which Steve is the kid that needs help and Dustin gets him out of it, but it’s still Dustin doing the adoption. Will still went to the Upside Down, but Steve was taken instead of Barb, but he lived. The Party still went after Will, and Jonathan and Nancy still fought the Demogorgon, but instead with Barb too and in the Upside Down rescuing Steve. The story starts Mid-to-End of Season 1-ish.
Title taken from a lyric from Dancing Queen by ABBA.

Summary
Eddie takes a deep breath. “Because he came here with me.”
“With you?” Alexei calls over the clamour of the crowd. They love a good fight, but they perhaps love romance even more. “You mean your fellow Tribute from District Three?”
Eddie shakes his head again. “Not Gareth.” He looks up, eyes landing on the camera. His earnest expression is broadcast across every screen and the crowd waits, holding their breath. Steve realises that he is too. “My Star Crossed love is from District Twelve.”
Steve exhales shakily and tries not to throw up on stage.

Summary
A half hour later, Steve leaned against the side of the bus, sweaty and panting while Robin offered him her water-bottle. She reeked of cheap alcohol and the sharp smell of burning, glittering shards of glass caught in her fringe. Gore dripped from the nails in his bat, and one of the dogs had gotten a good swipe at his shin, but he remained mostly un-grievously-injured. He still hurt everywhere though, body complaining about all the diving over and around and behind random bits of junk and machinery.
"Metal gay sex is probably gayer than punk rock gay sex." He decided, and Robin hummed thoughtfully.

Summary
The fucking Monsters are at it again and Steve is having none of it. Neither is Eddie, because he's involved in it now too! He never thought he'd interact with Steve Harrington again, but here they were, facing down the Apocalypse together while simultaneously building an unlabeled relationship.
It's a Season 4 rewrite, if you didn't grasp that from the summary and tags. There's a oneshot that comes before this one, please read it or you'll miss some references.

Summary
"Steve!!"
Steve blinks, to find his head sandwiched between the hands of a terrified and panicked Dustin, who is shouting right in his face.
“Steve! Are you being Vecna’d right now?! Are you cursed?!”
Cursed? No, he’s not cursed.
Steve’s gaze slides back to Eddie.
He'd call it less of a curse and more of a…haunting? -

Summary
Eddie is worried about Steve—mostly because he still refuses to open up about what happened to turn King Steve into the guy he’s falling further and further in love with. When he gets swept into the action at Starcourt, he understands a lot better.
“Underground” from Eddie’s perspective.

Summary
He charged towards the monster, his head pounding, his entire body feeling both as light as a feather and as heavy as a ton of bricks.
Something within him seemed to snap, and not even pausing to think what it could mean, Steve held out his arm and pushed.
Everything blacked out.
Steve pushed with all of his might but felt nothing under his fingertips. He pushed at the air itself–
And the monster seemed to move with it.-
Steve's just trying to get through school, so finding out that alternate-dimension monsters exist, surviving said weird alternate-dimension monsters, and discovering he has some kind of freaky magic was not part of the plan.

He finds the cabin by accident.

Indiana Wants Me (Lord, I Can't Go Back There) by munson_slutt

Summary
“No. Oh god no. What did I—“ He looked down at the mangled body before him and the blood that covered his own form and began to shake, violently. He dropped the bat, eyes wide and full of horror. It finally occurred to him to look up, his gaze landing on the terrified Melveld’s employee that must have finally emerged from the back to lock the front door some time during the whole debacle. The boy inside was sobbing, phone pressed to his ear as he gazed in horror at the scene in front of him. Steve could already hear the sirens. He was in the center of town, it wouldn’t take them but a minute. He gulped, heart rapidly beating in his chest as he looked around, slowly backed up and sprinted away, tears stinging his cheeks and raw panic in his chest. He couldn’t go home. He couldn’t bring Eddie and Robin into this, make them accessories to murder, ruin their lives. He had to go. He had to run. Just like that, Steve Harrington’s future evaporated.

Summary
”He’d never seen anyone really dead. He wasn’t sure if it would just be bones. He feels bile rising up in his throat and swallows. Maybe if he held him, maybe if he brought him home, he wouldn’t see Eddie in his dreams anymore.”
OR:
Steve goes back for him, but the Eddie Munson he brings home isn’t the same — not in the slightest.
