Steve sagged with relief at the sight of El, her hair slicked back, and eyes rimmed in dark makeup as she walked through the old door to the Byers's house. He pushed past Hopper, the chief holding a firm grasp of Mike's shoulder as the younger boy stared at the girl, the bat in Steve's hand dropping to the floor as he made his way towards his sister, a question in his eyes as he reached out, middle finger connecting gently against the bridge of her nose as he smooths his hand up and over her forehead and down to wrap around the back of her neck. He pulls her close bringing his nose down to the top of her head, her arms wrapping around his middle, and takes a deep breath, letting the relief flooding the room drape completely over his shoulders as he tightens his hold onto El.

"Where have you been?" The question is quiet as he pulls away, face hardening as he takes in her appearance.

"I found Eight," she spoke softly, pulling away from Steve, a knowing look in her eyes as a frown spread across her face.

His eyes widened, and he pulled his hand back toward himself, "we'll talk about that later. There are some people we owe explanations to first."

Chapter 6 - Steve's No Good, Terrible, Kinda Perfect Senior Year

It was a routine that set a small part of his mind at ease. If anything, it was nicer to deal with his parents, a novelty of quantity, not quality, then it was thinking about Eddie. Eddie, who pretended like nothing had happened between them on Sunday night. Steve knew it was absolutely necessary they didn’t act differently in school, especially around other people. Steve understood. But after school on Monday, he’d invited Eddie over to hang out at his house. It was worth risking running late to dinner with El and Hopper if it meant making out with Eddie again, but Eddie passed. Said he had too much to do.

It wasn’t like Steve could say anything about it, not even alone in the school parking lot. It wasn’t safe. Besides, he swore he wouldn’t push for anything more on Sunday because it would only drive Eddie away.

He screwed up his face to look as neutral as possible, told Eddie he’d see him the next day at lunch, and hopped into his Beemer like it was a perfectly normal Monday.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to cry. He wanted to push Eddie right down onto his bed and kiss him. Put his hands all over him, tracing the long contours of his body. Instead, he’d driven out of town and around the lakes in the forests south of Hawkins. Alone in the woods with his anger, pathetic sadness, and stupid feelings of rejection, he let his powers run wild for two hours: flinging stones, scraping the water's surface like a jet ski, and carving deep gouges in the earth. Exhausted, he drove to his house and stared at his homework for an hour before getting ready to leave for the cabin.

El and Hopper were adamant that for his first Monday dinner, he wouldn’t be cooking, but as he was grabbing his keys to head out the door, he felt a pang of panic - not from him - and the phone rang.

Summary:

Steve and El weren’t as close as he was with some of the kids, which was mostly Steve’s fault. But while he was working at Starcourt and after, just before the group left, they bonded a bit. She told him about before, he told her about his life with his parents. So yay to bonding over shitty parental figures. For now, they had an alliance. “I just need a bit more time El, I promise. I’ve got everything under control. Just… Cover for me?"

He could hear the hesitance in her voice, but she agreed. "Okay Steve. Keep them safe..."

He would. Even if it was the last thing he did... He would.

i started writing an entire steve is seven fix-it au ficlet just because of this one scene that was stuck in my mind. but it's turning out way too long, so here's the scene instead

and god when he first meets eleven again. they all gather together at steve's to strategize and eleven steps into the house with hopper and the kids in tow. and steve just. starts crying as soon as he sees her.

"ellie," he sobs out. everyone, but robin, looks confused. eleven frowns but as steve takes his watch off and shows her his tattoo, her eyes widen in recognition. the kids move to interrupt, but eleven runs towards steve.

"seven!" she yells as she jumps into his arms. he holds her tight and sinks to his knees as his body is wrecked with sobs. el begins to cry into his shirt.

"i'm so sorry, ellie, i didn't want to leave you there, i'm so sorry," he gasps out.

"i know, it's okay, seven," she whispers.

the room is silent with varying levels of shock and heartbreak on everyone's faces. steve pulls away to put his forehead against el's.

"it's steve now, actually. well steven, but everyone calls me steve."

"steven... did you just add a t to seven?" el asks, scrunching her nose.

steve laughs and says, "my mom, or well the family that found me, gave me that name. it's a real name, i swear."

"what the hell is going on?" mike interrupts them.

steve sighs. it's time to explain everything.

mr harrington who’s a scientist at hawkins lab. doctor harrington who made his pregnant wife an mk ultra experiment. dr harrington who gladly hands his baby over to dr brenner the second he is born.

007 who grows up with his dad as his main assigned researcher. being poked and prodded and tested and tased and tortured, all while his father stands next to dr brenner behind a glass pane, taking notes on his clipboard.

007 who lashes out when told his mother is dead. he knows she’s alive. somewhere. he can feel her. 007 who begins to lash out at anyone who comes close. they are the bad guys. they took him from her.

007 who kills a guard and steals his key ring to sneak 008 out. though he’s stopped before he can follow. he cannot wander free. but he cannot be here anymore.

a small device is implanted in his neck. hooked up to several wires to his brain, his memories are stolen, replaced with new ones. with fake ones. ones of a father who always travels for work and a mother who follows to keep an eye on his secretary, yet still somehow manages to keep a name for herself.

he does not question waking up in a bland, plaid room. no emotion, no personality in the space. it is normal to him. it is all he knows. this is steve’s room. it always has been.

um. steve who's always had a weird haziness to his childhood memories, like there's a translucent piece of film stretching across ages 0 to 10. almost as if there's nothing there, but sometimes the light hits it at an angle and his reflection stares back at him, waiting. he doesn't know what he's been waiting his whole life for, though he knows it's coming, then—

and then he does. then steve rolls wrong off his tongue, and now all he knows is seven, and it has always been seven, and he has always been able to close an open wound, drag someone back from the brink of death. when he was five, papa set a bleeding rabbit on the table in front of him and said, aren't you going to save him? are you going to let him die, seven? you wouldn't, i know you wouldn't. when he was eight, he plunged his hands into a man's stomach, trying to put together his organs and ribs.

seven (steve) thinks there's a certain kind of rottenness to his being. all the people he could have saved. all that he could have shielded the kids from. all the time he spent losing fights and running when he could have brought them back. goodbye barb holland, goodbye bob newby, goodbye billy hargrove (and oh that one stings, doesn't it?).

seven (steve) who runs when lucas comes through on the radio, finds a guy in a suit trying to hunt the kids down. they're outside the hospital, and el had flung this guy to the wall, and now he's grinning, blood on his teeth and down the side of his face. they're coming, is what he tells them. they're going to fix this fucking town, even if it means taking you down.

and the worst part (because there's no such thing as rock bottom in hawkins): you're not going to find her, you know.

this is when steve (seven) knows. the man goes on, says, she wouldn't shut up, the fucking kid. little birdie can talk.

steve (seven) pulls out a gun, the one nancy made him carry around. he's so unbelievably glad he listened to her.

what, the guy says. going to kill me faster?

bastard. steve/seven kneels on the ground, next to the dying man. dustin makes a sound, terrified. seven/steve wants to never hear that sound again.

he presses his fingers to the man's head wound. slowly, surely, the skin stretches. crawls in a desperate attempt to touch. the clarity comes back to his eyes. blood drips from seven's nose.

no, steve says. he stands back up, trains the gun down at the man's stomach. if you want to die, you're going to have to beg for it.

he shoots.

Hopper stands, hands splayed across the top of the table as he leaned forward, a harsh glare filtering across his face as he stares the teenager down in front of him.

"Son, you really need to watch what you're saying. You don't know-"

“Do not call me son.” Steve voice was tight, wheezing through clenched teeth as he squeezed his eyes shut. A shaking hand came up to pull the watch off his left wrist. “Eleven wasn’t the first and only kid to escape that lab.”

Hopper's face dropped as he tracked the movement, eyes widening as he took in the tattoo on the teen's wrist. The bold 007 stark against the thin skin off the boy's wrist. Wordlessly, Hopper stretched out a hand and encircled the wrist, pulling the boy closer to the desk as the Chief inspected the black numbers. 

Seven shifted nervously on his feet, wide eyes darting around the room as he steadfastly worked on breathing through the pressing feeling of the Chiefs anxiety snapping like a band around his lungs.

Hopper sighed, Sevens wrist falling from his grasp as the older man stood, pulling his uniform jacket off the back of the chair before stepping around the cluttered desk. “Let's go for a drive kid.”

@imyelenasexual sorry this took a few days. will probably post a few more snippets from the story throughout the day. :))

Scenes from Stolen Childhoods- 2

snippets from my steve has powers au part 1 | part 3 pov: Steve | wc: 258

After everything that had happened so far that day, Steve was pretty certain that there was nothing that could surprise him. Even standing in the Byers' living room, wielding his nail bat, being flanked by Nancy and Chief Hopper, both with guns. Waiting for the demodogs to attack, they could hear them outside, converging on the house. Ready to defend the kids that had come to mean so much to him in just a day.

The crash as something came flying in through the window was startling, but not surprising. What was surprising was that it was dead, not alive.

Then the lock on the door clicked open without anyone touching it. Steve tightened his grip on the bat and raised it, ready to strike. But the biggest surprise of the night came when the door swung open. It wasn't a creature of the Upside Down come to hunt them down. It wasn't the backup that Hopper had called, it wasn't even some government goons come to make them sign a stack of documents to ensure their silence. No, it was a young girl with a punk makeover.

She spoke with Mike, then with Hopper, then hugged Dustin and Lucas. She then approached Steve, and without saying a word she grabbed his hand. She opened the clasp on his watch with a wave of her hand, revealing his tattoo to the room. 007.

She then spoke her first word to him since he'd had to leave her behind when he'd ran from the lab several years prior.

"Brother."

[lunylune]

Summary:

Max felt like she was in a horror movie... Dustin was in the same supernatural horror movie as she was, but played a very different role and was leaning more scifi than superpowered humans. Lucas was there with Dustin and her too, though his version seemed to have a romantic subplot with her. But, no… not right now. He was nice, but there were things to figure out first.

Nancy was… Well… It was hard to pinpoint. She would say Nancy is in some sort of murder mystery movie, where the death just… hasn’t happened yet but you already know something is off.

Robin and Steve were off in their own genre together, one that didn't have a name yet, though Max wasn’t sure what it was. It was a mess. The origin story of a supervillain and their henchmen, maybe? An action movie? Horror? Or a romcom, one or the other. Who’s to say.

Speaking of romcoms… Eddie might have gone off the deep end, just a little, and it was embarrassing to watch really.

She rather focus on that than her horror movie...

He had messed up long and hard this year. He failed yet another senior year. He'd almost lost out on having a boyfriend because he was a dumbass. And, he'd almost alienated everyone in Hellfire, see previously, being a dumbass. He had been introduced to the fact that magical powers exist, and his first reaction had been to blackmail the guy. — After spending six months being an asshole, Eddie somehow still had a boyfriend. He might be a freak and a loser, but he had a second chance with the kindest and hottest guy he’d ever met. He wasn’t going to mess up again. Even if it meant he had to pretend and play the love interest NPC to Steve’s daring Paladin. He wasn’t good enough to be what Steve needed as himself, but he could play the role of the guy Steve deserved until Steve realized he could do better. That is until Steve’s adopted little sister comes to him in the middle of a rainy night asking for help, and Eddie gets sucked into the Big Mystery. Is Eddie actually an NPC in Steve’s life and the adventure against the forces of darkness, or is he the right guy for the job?

In this chapter El finally checks in on Steve at the same time that Dustin calls for help. Everyone meets up at the mall, and Eddie finds himself agreeing with Hopper. What is the world coming to?

[fujotaku-grl]

Steve sees the ghosts of those who have died. He sees Billy, Barb, and Eddie mainly because he knew them from being involved with the upside down. He sees other spirits but learned to not focus on them. No one else knows until Dustin(?) finds a tape that plays a sound that only people with powers can hear so when the whole group is together he plays it. When he does El and Steve are affected. No one is surprised El is affected but everyone is confused when Steve is shouting for someone to turn it off. All eyes are on him when he explains he can see and talk to ghosts. “Wait…can you see barb?” Nancy said with an accusatory glare. “You could see and hear her this entire time and didn’t tell anyone?!” She was angry, yelling , and shoving Steve to punctuate every few words. Jonathan grabbed her so she would stop attacking steve. “Can you see Eddie? Is he here now!?” Dustin asked. Mike was as angry as his sister with the new realization. “What else are you hiding from us?” Max asked with a hurt expression. This was not supposed to happen, he was supposed to take this secret to the grave. “I…can bring people back.” The last bit of the sentence was said in a hushed voice but one of them heard it. “What.” A loud slap could be heard through the silence “Bring her back” said seething through teeth. It turned out the one who heard it was Nancy who was ten times more angry than before. It comes with a price i can just magic her back to life without consequence. “You can bring back Eddie! The consequence shouldn’t matter, you're just being selfish!” Mike spat out like venom. After a long time of Steve getting yelled at and Jonathan, Will, Robin, and Joyce defending Steve everyone left to go to their respective home with swirling emotions. Days pass and Steve made up his mind and went to his pool where Barb had died. “You don’t have to bring me back, after getting to know you I don’t think it's worth it.” Barb tried to convince him it's not his fault. “ You and I both know it’s more costly without the physical body.” Steve took a knife and made a cut on his wrist. As the blood dripped into the water he said the incantation. The water began to glow a bright white color along with Steve's eyes. Barb emerges from the water taking in gulps of oxygen. “I’m...I’m alive. Why did you do that?” she asked. “ I owe it to you, and Nance.” Steve replied with exhaustion. “STEVE!” Barb yelled, catching Steve as he nearly fell in the pool. “ I’m fine, I need to get Ed.” Eddie appeared next to Steve “ Harrington you need to lay down before going anywhere” Barb shrieked at the sudden voice. Turns out anyone Steve brings back is connected to him and shares his power minus the bring people back part. The next day Steve the first thing he does is go to the old Munson trailer in Forest Hills.”I’m coming with you” Barb insisted. He goes to the spot Eddie died and repeats the process. This time Steve passes out immediately after. Barb and Eddie carry him to the car and put him in bed. While Steve is sleeping his walkie went off “Guys I think there's a code red! There were 2 energy surges similar to the ones when Vecna attacked, let's meet at Steve's house! Over and out.” About an hour later everyone is in Steve’s living room. Robin was looking around to find her other half only to find he wasn’t there. She went upstairs with Dustin following behind her. There were 2 people who sat by Steve while he slept in his bed. “Barb?” Nancy whispered. “Eddie?” Dustin said after “Steve?” Robin said concerned for her best friend who now had white streaks in his hair, pale, and looked so fragile. She tried to shake him awake but he continued his slumber. “What's wrong with him, why won’t he wake up?” “He used all his energy to bring us back from the dead.” Eddie answered. “That doesn’t explain why he looks so…breakable” Dustin added “It's because he shortened his life span because you A holes decided to treat him like a selfish prick when you know he has saved all of you multiple times!”

I love your Steve as 007 au!!! Especially how unique it is, (spoilers: with Steve’s parents being Martin Brenner and Connie Frazier) it’s super cool!!! And no pressure if you’re not doing it anymore, but I’d love to see where it goes from here :D

So that one is on the back burner while I finish out my current three WIPs. Once those are done, I think that one and my cyoa are my next projects (Along with the never ending one shots I have) God I write too much

Anyway all that to say, I will continue it eventually, but here take a random little snippet from it!!

"Steve's just always known when we weren't okay," Carol sniffed, pressing the tissue under her eyes, even though she hadn't really started crying, "I just thought it was one of those Steve things, you know,"

"Known?" Nancy asked, unsure of exactly what she meant.

"Known," Carol answered, giving the other girl a watery smile, "He knew when my mom died. I found out in the morning- car accident. I locked myself in my room and just wailed the entire day. I cried so hard I threw up, and I thought I was never gonna stop. Then I heard a knock on my window, and Steve and Tommy were there."

Nancy had known Carol's mom had passed away when they were all thirteen, but she had known in the removed factual kind of way. The way a person knows that wars happen, or people's homes burn down. Detached.

But now she could see it in her head. A small Carol who was only Mike's age wrapped up in her bed, sobbing into her pillows, lifting her head to see her two favorite people staring at her from the window.

It hurt to think about.

"They had stolen his dad's car, because Steve had gotten a really bad stomachache, and said that I was hurting. Tommy just believed him, because that's how he is,"

Nancy knew that well. If Steve even said jump, Tommy would be begging to know how high. It had always been kind of pathetic to her, but now she could see it for what it was. Loyalty to a fault.

She didn't say any of that, just handed Carol another tissue and waited for her to keep going.

"It was the first time Steve ever tried driving and god his dad was mad. Smacked Steve right across the face and told him to never even think of doing something like that again. But he did. When Tommy's dad left, he drove to my house and told me that Tommy wasn't okay. I had assumed Steve called Tommy, but when we got there, he had no idea we were showing up. " Carol noisily blew her nose, and tossed it in the trashcan by their feet.

"I thought it was something special for just the three of us."

Powers in Stranger Things

Okay so, I want to do a powers au for steddie where one or both Steve and Eddie have powers. And I started wondering about how to do that. There seems to be like, 3 different ways most people do this.

1.) Secret Lab Children.

Steve usually gets labeled 7 because Steve and Seven are close in terms of just the words themselves. Eddie usually gets labeled 10 or something? No idea why, but whatever. Both have a lot of potential for both answering questions not answered by canon while also giving angsty opportunity.

2.) Exposure to Creatures/weird shit in Hawkins

Steve got a mouthful of something in the tunnels underground Hawkins, and people sometimes have that give him powers.

3.) The Upside Down/Dimension X

This one's less common, or at least less common from what I've read, and also apparently the canonical answer to how Henry got powers in the first place even though that makes no fucking sense. According to the stage play, apparently, when Henry was a child he got transported to Dimension X and interacted with the mind flayer which gave him COMPLETELY NEW BLOOD AND A NEW PERSONALITY AND ALSO GAVE HIM POWERS.

So what I'm saying is like half the cast should have powers at this point, especially Will. And that we can all just start saying shit. Why do Eddie and Steve have powers? Fuck you, that's why. They have powers and they're gonna fuck because I said so. And then they're gonna use their powers to fuck and then they're gonna kill Vecna just by letting him know how lame he is.
