    Summary

    If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.

    Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.

    Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.

    Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.

    So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

    Summary

    “Can you take us to a late showing of —"

    Steve bites his lip, sighing and preparing for inevitable backlash, “I can't, I'm babysitting."

    “What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”

    “Yeah I’m babysitting other kids.” Steve sighs, looking back at Beth and Annie bickering over one of their teddy bear guests.

    “Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”

    Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”

    “You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.

    Summary

    The past doesn’t stay buried forever.
    Sooner or later, it finds its way back.

    What started as a simple movie night at the Harrington house becomes something else entirely—when the tapes Dustin and Eleven brought begin to play memories no one was meant to see.

    Summary

    Hawkins, 1984. Eleven vanished in a burst of light. Since then—nothing. No whispers. Not a single sign from the other side. Just silence—thick, suffocating—as if even the voices on the other end of the phone had finally gone quiet, the dead turning their backs for good.

    Steve Harrington is barely holding on. He pretends. He smiles. But the visions grow stranger: shadows in mirrors, muffled voices behind the walls, and that lingering scent of burned electricity. Something is coming back. Maybe it never really left.

    Crushed by guilt, haunted by memories that may not even be his, Steve feels reality beginning to crack. And through those cracks, a message starts to take shape:
    She isn’t gone. Not really.

    But if Eleven is still out there… why hasn’t she said anything?
    And what if he’s the one slipping away now?
    Like a survivor—halfway gone.

    OR — this story follows Steve Harrington during Season 2, grappling with the loss of Eleven and the eerie silence of the dead. Haunted by strange visions and a growing sense of something lurking just beyond reality, Steve must confront his own fading grip on the world.

    This is the follow-up to "Beyond the Static."
