    Summary

    Ilya was barely back from the World Juniors and had barely met Shane Hollander when his hockey career was taken from him. He was so close to escaping everything in Russia, only to be caught by his brother, ruined by his father, and forced to marry Svetlana to escape.

    Now he's finally on his own, with his shitty studio apartment, his shitty job as a facilities tech in the Raider's Stadium, and his overall shitty life. Nothing could get worse from here, and he has no reason to think it'll get better. Until he runs into Shane fucking Hollander while smoking behind a club, maybe he could get a second chance with the man he's been secretly crushing on for years?

    Summary

    “God, you really haven’t changed, have you?” Eddie muttered quietly before pitching his voice somewhere between cheerful and mocking, “Still so easy to rile up- you make it way too easy,” then he tilted his head, nearly condescending, “Lemme fix your car, big boy. Then we can chat. Catch up on old times.”

    ***

    It's 1990 and Steve Harrington is lost. He's got it all- the house is on the way, he's teaching the kids, Henderson still pops around from time to time- he should be happy. He should have everything his small town heart desires and wanting anything more- wondering about it- is plain selfish.

    Then a sudden guest from the past wearing platform boots and a wicked grin arrives- opening old memories that should have stayed long buried- and turns Steve's world sideways forever.

    OR: Pre/Post S5 Rewrite. Eddie Munson survives. Steve Harrington puts up with him. This story tells their past, present and future- what it means to fall out of touch and get right back in it.

    Summary

    With all the supernatural, inter-dimensional terrors, it's sometimes easy to forget the mundane, real world horrors that plague the world.

    Steve goes missing shortly after his parents unexpectedly arrive back home. Dustin rallies what remains of the Party after half their team has left for California to try and get him back. Except this time it’s not the Upside Down, just good old fashioned human prejudice. To spring Steve from the conversion therapy camp his parents sent him to, the Party turns to a new, tentative ally who has some experience in criminal acts, general misbehaviour, and maybe even the very place Steve’s been sent to: Eddie Munson.
