    Summary

    The descent is slow, like watching someone knock your mom’s favorite crystal vase off the shelf and the sheer horror and panic that overwhelms you and slows time down, makes you think that you can get across the room in time to catch it.
    But you never do, do you?
    The vase shatters and with it, so does every preconceived notion you have of yourself.
    That’s what Steve learns.
    He learns how to fall, gracefully even.
    And in the end, he learns how to shatter.

    Or

    Steve saves Eddie in the Upside Down and it's hilarious and it broke Steve wide open.

    There is family, and oh god, there is so much love.

    Summary

    "You kill him. I kill you, Munson. I'm serious."

    Eddie raised his hands in a sort of surrender, chuckling softly.

    "Don't worry, Buckley. You'll still have your precious Harrington once I'm through with him-"

    "As touching- ah- as this all is-" Steve butted in, trying to sit himself up. "I'm sort of, still bleeding out over here? I really don't give a damn who does the bandaging-"

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    The one where Eddie cleans Steve up after being attacked by the demobats, and with tensions high and lives at stake, the line between friendship and something more seems a little (a lot) blurry.

    Summary

    Steve doesn't realise he's touch-starved until he starts spending time around Eddie Munson. The other boy touches him all the time, leaving Steve craving that kind of constant affection. Only, when Steve decides to instigate his own touches back, things between them begin to shift in an unexpected direction, one that might make Steve realise some other things about himself.

    Summary

    "It's all just some stupid story, anyway."

    "Oh yeah? If you're not scared, then I dare you to do it," Tommy chimed.

    "Do what?"

    "Go into the woods when the streetlights come on during the next full moon."

    "What? I'm not indulging in your little fantasy, dude. Fuck off."

    "Someone's a pu-ssy," Tommy sing-songed teasingly.

    "Whatever, no I'm not." Steve punched his shoulder again.

    Tommy punched him back. "If you're not, then do it! It's not like anything's gonna happen. And I'd love to see your stupid face when you run out screaming because you got," Tommy put his hand in a fist under his chin and made mocking puppy dog eyes at Steve, "too scawed of da dawk."

    Steve rolled his eyes as everyone else laughed.

    "Whatever. Fine. I'll do it, asshole."

    Summary

    Steve’s parents stopped coming home for Christmas in the winter of 1979.

    After that, he always spent Christmas at the Hagans, until he imploded his friendship with Tommy just before the Christmas of 1983.

    He spends that year with the Wheelers and the Christmas of '84 with the Hendersons.

    The next year, when Dustin tells him that he's going out of town to visit his Aunt, Steve gears up for his first Christmas truly alone. That is, until he receives a phone call from Lucas Sinclair and ends up spending it with the most unlikely of people.

    OR

    Steve somehow ends up celebrating the Christmas of 1985 with Max and Eddie 'the Freak' Munson and it just might be his favorite Christmas yet.
