Summary
What if all the boys were in the basement at the same time? What if they escaped while the grabber was out and he got away? What if they were split up into witness protection and the world is told that they died? What if Steve is Finney Blake? What if he was friends with Hellfire and started babysitting earlier? What if he and Robin kept in touch and were together? What if his Hawkins friends knew nothing about his life in Denver? What if Vecna was thought to have been defeated but isn't as dead as The Party thought?

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.
- Chapter Sneak Peek -
“…I don’t hate you Hargrove,” he said. “I sure as hell don’t like you, but I do not hate you.”

Summary
Steve Harrington learned how to survive long before Hawkins ever needed him to.
When Will Byers disappears, the town treats it like a misunderstanding. Kids run away. Parents panic. Everything will sort itself out.
Steve tells himself the same thing. He is good at pretending things are normal. He learned that skill the hard way.
But Will’s disappearance brings something with it, static where there should be silence, a pressure that does not fade, the sense that Steve is not as alone as he should be. And it is only the beginning.
Hawkins is full of ghosts.
Some of them have been with Steve for years.
A Stranger Things rewrite where Steve Harrington has a past, the dead do not stay quiet, and survival leaves marks long after you escape.Aka
Steve Harrington is Finney Blake and the ghosts did not get the memo to stay in the past.

Summary
During a small party at Steve Harrington’s house, the group chooses a blank, unlabeled tape from a stack of movies,one with no title and no warning. What begins as a strange film night quickly turns into something far darker when the footage reveals a past Steve never meant to share.
Set in North Denver, 1978, the tape shows Steve as a boy, called Steve,living under the shadow of disappearances, black vans, and whispered fear. As the story unfolds, the group watches Steve’s childhood play out: his bond with his cousin Gwen, her prophetic dreams, the looming presence of The Grabber, and the violence that lived behind closed doors.
As the lines between memory and horror blur, the truth becomes impossible to ignore,some dreams are warnings, some silences are learned, and some scars never fade. Forced to confront the boy he was and the pain he survived, Steve must face a past that refuses to stay buried.
Because some tapes don’t need a title.
They already know your name.

Summary
Steve Harrington always knew you can never escape your past. He just didn't think it could catch up to him this easily.
“How am I talking to you?” she asks. “Is this real?”
Steve nods even though no one can see him, the motion instinctive. “Yeah. Yeah, it’s real.”
He forces himself to keep going. “Are you hurting anywhere?”
“No,” Barb whispers. “I don’t think so.”
A beat.
“But it’s cold.” -

Summary
That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

Summary
He heard her shift in the stall next to him. “My turn.” She took a moment to think, the silence settling over the bathroom. “Have you… Ever been in love?”
Steve felt himself freeze at the question. Instances of friendly pushes against his shoulder and a sink basin turning red with bloody knuckles. Of an old bandana, a last call.
“Twice,” He muttered. “Nancy Wheeler. First semester, junior year.”
“She’s such a priss!” Steve could hear Robin’s eyes rolling from the stall over. “Wait- you said twice? Who’s the other?”
Steve swallowed. “A friend from middle school.”
“Are you still in love with her?” She asked softly. Steve chewed at the inside of his cheek.
“He died when we were thirteen.” He whispered, feeling the sting of tears prick against his eyes, aggravating the cut on his cheekbone.

Summary
JUNE 10, 1985
MONDAY“I’m just saying, if ghosts were real, they wouldn’t be hanging out in Hawkins!” Robin argued, feet swinging just above the ground from her perch on the counter they were supposed to keep clean to prep toppings for the ice cream, but three days after training ended, Steve had elected to stop caring about things like that.
He shook his head as he muscled out a scoop from a fresh (freezer-burnt) tub of sorbet. “You are so incredibly wrong it’s not even funny.”
Robin sighed in a way that Steve knew meant she was rolling her eyes, feet tapping an even staccato rhythm against the cabinets as she gently kicked back-and-forth. “No, I am absolutely right. If what you said about ghosts only being formed by super-traumatic deaths is true, then there’s literally no possible way that ghosts hang out in Hawkins.”
Steve couldn’t help but snort. The irony was not lost on him, for once.

Summary
The party just wanted to have a normal movie night. Just like all movie nights have been for the last couple of months, but something had to go wrong. Again.
Is it the upside down. Or something else entirely?Steve’s not sure, but this is definitely bad, like really bad. Not only is this an invasion of his privacy, this tape has footage of the stuff that happened in ‘78. Stuff that is definitely way more important than to label as just Stuff.

Basically a reaction fic… to Steve Harrington also being Finney Blake.
And the whole party reacts. -

Summary
“Okay.” Steve buries his head in his arms face down on the coffee table in his basement. “Okay. A major lab incident I can get behind. Shit, the kid going missing I can understand. But what the hell do you mean there are monsters now?!”
“He didn’t say monsters,” Paperboy rolls his eyes, which looks really funny since he is doing a headstand against the wall. “Don’t be dramatic, Finney.”
“Griffin said the words ‘slimy tentacle vines of unimaginable cosmic horrors’” Steve deadpans, still face down.
“That doesn’t immediately mean monster.”

Steve Harrington has heard the phone ringing ever since he got out of the basement. Moving to Hawkins, Indiana didn't do much to change that.
