Summary: When Dustin Henderson parent-traps Steve and Eddie into taking him to New Zealand for a holiday and some Lord of the Rings sight-seeing, Steve's forced to confront the reality of what he really wants out of life. Is it working for his father in a job he despises to afford his sky-rise apartment in Chicago and the status that comes with it, or is it something else, something simpler, something truer to himself? On the windy back roads of New Zealand, amongst the most stunning scenery he's ever seen and with old flame Eddie Munson in his passenger seat, he figures it out.

Pairings: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson, Steve Harrington & Robin Buckley

Characters: Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley

Summary: Steve Harrington didn’t know what love was. He thought he did, a few times. He thought he loved his nanny the way his mother didn’t love him. He thought he loved Nancy the way he hadn’t loved someone else before her. He was wrong about that though, so how would he really know? He didn’t think he’d know what love was if it shoved itself in his face, called him an idiot, and bit him. He knew what love wasn’t, and that didn’t seem good enough. But when he was surrounded by club lights and the alcohol swam through his head, he felt like maybe he could learn, or least pretend for the night until he didn’t feel alone anymore; until he drove himself home in the early morning and felt the ache in his bones that said someone had been there with him, if only for a moment.

Still single, perpetually lonely, never having quite gotten over the fact that when he tried to escape Hawkins to make a life for himself away from the curse of the Upside Down, Steve hadn't followed when he asked. It’s been ten years since Eddie last saw Steve. He hadn’t expected the next time he saw him again to be back in Hawkins, let alone in a body bag.

Summary: Steve Harrington. Babysitter extraordinaire, known kicker of demobeast asses, total dreamboat, and best friend to everyone.

Except, he didn't seem to heal up as well as everyone else after the final battle. He still has bruises. It's been months, but his eye is still black. And is that a split lip? Or, five times Steve lies about where he got an injury, and one time Eddie saves him.

Summary: Steve wasn't happy to be left alone in an unfamiliar house amiss the annual Cleanse. But as long as Steve stayed inside the fortified security system he’d be safe. But when events don't go to plan, Steve is gifted a hard choice - staying safe all the while keeping his eyes closed to the terrible events happening outside or saving complete strangers at the cost of opening his doors, which counter-promised his own safety and meant disobeying his parents. Steve learns an awful lesson that day. It wasn’t just the monsters that he had to worry about or his displeased parents. No, it was humans that turned out to be much worse than the nightmarish creatures roaming the streets. Will Steve survive the night? Will the handful of strangers? How far would Steve go to make sure that he and those he comes to care for survive?

To top it off, this is not his Uber. The guy driving it doesn't look like "Angela", and the backseat is full of plastic sheets and hardware tools, oh, crap, he's gonna get killed, isn't he?

But all is not as it seems, as Steve is actually Clarissa, a trans lesbian. Robin and Clarissa must figure out how to survive a world not built for them, figure out who they are to each other, and figure out how to carve a place in this cold, uncaring world, that will allow Clarissa to flourish as she truly is.

Characters: Steve Harrington, Original Female Character(s), Robin Buckley, Lucas Sinclair, Maxine "Max" Mayfield, Eleven | Jane Hopper, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Eddie Munson, Will Byers, Original Child Character(s)

Summary: Vecna is gone, Hawkins in the rear view, Steve has established a life on the East Coast as a minor league baseball player with his own little nuggets, a house with a view, and the woman that made it all possible. He met Aurora Williams after his hometown cracked open, while his friends were still in various states of "broken" and his whole life seemed caught up in the upside down. Slowly, Rory pulled apart his walls. What starts as a mutually beneficial, casually exclusive, weirdly wildly normal falling together turns into something different. Before they know it there's a baby on the way. Well, okay, two babies. Here's the story of how Steve and Rory managed to transition their lives from a hodgepodge of government secrets and battle strategies, to the simple things, like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...and maybe there's still a baseball bat.

For the @steveharringtonbigbang

So I tried something new for this big bang and signed up as an artist to do some graphics along with writing. It was new and scary and I felt entirely out of my depth, but I have had some amazing partners, one of whom has been Dani with this excellent Hunger Games AU.

Dani, you have been a wonderful Bang Partner. Your ideas so inspired and well-executed. I have been left on the edge of my seat with each page that I read and I can't wait for everyone to experience this world you've created.

For now, lets give it up for the winner of the 69th Annual Hunger Games, Steve Harrington of District 4.
