Summary
Steve stares down into big blue eyes looking up at him. Familiar, yet the boy he has his arms wrapped tight around is too small. Too tiny to be the fifteen-year-old beta he swears he was yanking through the gate.
But the gaping teeth, unruly curls, and the now oversized clothes are unmistakable.
“Henderson?” Steve questioned in disbelief. The teeny pup, possibly seven or eight, simply tilts his head and his small hands curl into Steve’s polo. His eyes begin to water, his lower lip quivering.
And immediately little Dustin begins crying.
or
I use hand-wavey non-canon Upside Down bullshit to indulge in family fluff with Steddie and Dustin.

Summary
Life was different now with Vecna defeated, but there will always be a part left behind of the Upside Down. Steve can only hope that with time, they'll learn to cope. With the right person, it should come easy. Good thing that his new friend Eddie has never learned to lie down and take it.

How to Miss a Show and Find Love in One Easy Step by charlesanthonybruno

Summary
Steve throws a dejected look at the clock. 9:25pm. Saturdays are usually the busiest night of the week, and Steve actually enjoys working the closing shift. People tend to be in a better mood when they're choosing their weekend entertainment than at 9am on a Monday when they're returning something that their five year old kid should definitely not have watched and they're trying to blame Steve for it even though they specifically picked something from the Adult Horror section (looking at you, Mr Edmonton.)
Not tonight, though. Tonight, Corroded Coffin is in Hawkins giving a concert and suddenly the whole town is made entirely of metal fans.

Or, Steve doesn't go to the show. He meets Eddie Munson anyway.

Summary
Steve wouldn’t consider himself lonely. Sure, the kids had all gone their separate ways to college and sure, Robin was also long gone in Massachusetts, but he wasn’t lonely. Just…alone. In Hawkins. Which was fine. It meant he got to do things like meet Wayne Munson in the baking aisle on a Friday afternoon and get a kind-of-old second-best friend. Steve wasn't complaining, not even when Wayne kept bringing up his nephew...like a lot. He kind of sounded cool...
Or Steve becomes good friends with Wayne Munson who is more than happy to introduce him to his nephew Eddie.

Summary
Steve is in a bit of a crisis. Everyone around him is moving forward with their lives, they have moved out, met new people, and he is still in Hawkins, going on date after date and looking for a connection that he just can't find. After one too many dreams about a dead boy he takes his truck and RV and hits the road, trying to run away from ghosts and expectations.
He never planned for his truck to break down in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania.
He never expected to go look for a mechanic and meet a ghost.Bookmarked by cmchaney01
