    Summary

    “How does he factor into all these… decisions?” Eddie’s walking on already broken ice.

    Steve exhales like he’s just been sentenced to life, “He factors in too much. He factors in nothing at all, I don’t know. He doesn’t want to be factored in unless he decides to be factored in.” Steve’s hands resume their excavation of chipped red fingertips.

    “Do you want him to be factored in?”

    There’s a silence that lasts maybe ten seconds but it feels like hours, “I don’t.”

    Summary

    He’s pretty sure that’s when he reaches his breaking point. Everything that’s happened in the past however many days rushed into his brain like a shock of electricity. He feels his breath get shakier as he lowers himself down.

    A hand cards through the profoundly greasy hair and pulls him in. He’s a little lost in thought as this happens so he just goes with it. He feels a bit weightless, as though he’s in the bathtub, sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, all slightly out of reach. It’s a freefall.

    He’s falling.

    God knows when he’ll fucking land.

    Summary

    “I had another one.”

    It stops the playful atmosphere instantly.

    Not everyone tells him when they have a Memento. Lucas had kept to himself, and Will had refused to tell Steve about his dream. Some of them just tell him, softly, I remembered number one-seventy-three, or I had a Memento, last night. Sometimes it’s easier to just mention that it happened, acknowledge it and move on.

    And Robin, for the most part, had done this. She hadn’t mentioned the details, because she’s sure that Steve is tired of hearing them, doesn’t want to hear his death from another person’s eyes, another person who is left with his body for a day before the loop dissolves into nothingness.

    AKA: In the aftermath of it all, when Steve is learning what happiness means for him, people start to remember his deaths.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington doesn't have time to date. In fact, between working multiple part-time jobs and raising two rambunctious and poorly-behaved preteens, he doesn't have time for much of anything. And it's fine. He's fine. He's having an absolutely awesome time slinging ice cream, sorting DVDs, and dodging questions from his friends and family about his love life.

    That is, of course, until the twins come to him with a simple request: go to Parents Night and sign them up for Mr. Munson's Dungeons and Dragons club.

    ---
    Or, the one where Steve is a tired and overworked DILF who may or may not be smitten with his kids' seventh grade English teacher. Featuring: busted old Hondas, milkshakes as an intricate mating ritual, twelve year-old wingmen, and the worst flirting you've ever seen in your life.
