Right, I blame @kedreeva for this entirely.
Here is a list of my Stranger Things fics I have come up with since the beginning of Dec 2022.
Completed: All those with a AO3 link have been beta’ed
(Posted to Tumblr, still waiting on beta)
Just two more chapters to go and then this little story is done. I’m glad I wrote it. It was very cathartic for me. I hope it brought some comfort to you too.
Here we find out who Steve has been grieving this whole time and that Eddie mourned them too.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9

Steve was quiet and contemplative on the trip back. And Eddie let him be. That was quite the roller coaster of emotion he had gone through and he knew Steve needed time to sort out all of his thoughts and feelings.
As they neared Ashland, Eddie asked, “Are you okay? It got pretty heavy back there.”
“Sorry,” Steve murmured.
“I wasn’t asking for forgiveness,” Eddie admonished gently. “I was asking if you were okay.”
and finally, boy with a bat 3 of 3! and now I'm gonna bat my eyelashes at my girlfriend in hopes that I can be silly, affectionate, and cute in exchange for her cooking; enjoy the rest of your night! ^w^
Last one of the night! Thank you so much for sending in the asks. I just wish I could have finished them yesterday.

Lyle was doing well, keeping up with the other teams and not losing any ground that Nick bought them.
He leapt in and all the roar of the crowd, the splashing of the other teams’ members, even the sound of his heart beat went away. It was just him and the water. No distractions, no worries, no fears, just the way the water flowed around him.
Each movement was flawless, breathtaking. Then he was touching the pad and Ezra was splashing into the water above him. He pulled himself out of the water and the world came rushing back in.
soulmate au 4 of 4 please!

Other asks here, here, here, and here.
5 out of 5. But who’s counting? ;)
“Oh,” Lucas and Dustin said together.
“This is bad, Steve,” Max huffed ignoring the boys. “You have to get back to Eddie.”
Steve shook his head. “I can last a little bit longer. You’re in danger, Max. That’s more important than me.”
“But what about Eddie?” Dustin asked. “Won’t he get sick, too?”
Steve threw back his head and groaned. “I can’t take care of everyone at once. Plus, if I keep going back to the boathouse someone will see and come to check it out. That would do far more harm to Eddie than being a stupid true mate to someone like me.”
soulmate au... uh... shoot, scatterbrain struck. what number is this again? I think 3 of 4?
WIP Wednesday! Don’t send in new asks, I’m just clearing out my inbox from yesterday.
Four out of five actually. ;)
“True mates,” Dustin said slowly in disbelief. “I’ve only read about those. They’re super rare.”
“It means,” Max hissed, “that Steve can’t be separated from his soulmate for long otherwise he gets super sick.”
“But only after they touch each other’s marks,” Dustin finished. “Why did you that? Why did you touch each other’s marks if that was going to happen?”
Steve huffed. “Because Dustin, you don’t know you’re true mates until after you touch.”
soulmate au 3 of 4 [delighted wiggle]

Lucas and Max came running and they looked down at Steve’s mark, too.
“Shit,” Max hissed. “That’s not good. Why didn’t you tell anyone you and Eddie were true soulmates?”
Lucas and Dustin looked at her in shock.
“A what now?” Lucas asked, looking back and forth at Steve and Max in confusion.
maybe another werewolf steve? (tumblr still doesn't like me using question marks, but I finally remembered I can just. copy and paste one in from somewhere else)

First ask here.
“Right, first question why does it say that a wooden stake to the heart would kill a vampire? Doesn’t that do that for everyone?”
Wayne and Chrissy shared a glance, and the she waved her hand at him for him to answer.
He broke off a piece of wood from a nearby structure and unbuttoned his shirt. He stared the audience square in the eye as buried the makeshift stake into his chest.
The people in front of him gasped, while those behind him winced. He pulled the stake out and slowly the wound closed in upon itself without even so much as a drop of blood spilt.
boy with a bat 2 of 3 please?

First ask here.
Nick got up on the podium and readied himself for the starting shot. Steve nodded in approval. Nick’s stance was good.
BANG!
And they were off. Nick slicing through the water like a knife. He spun around and began the backstroke. He had an instinct that couldn’t be taught and that’s why he was the best at his part of the relay.
He touched the plate below the podium and Lyle was off, showcasing exactly why he was on the team. His broadstroke was good, but not great. What he was great at was getting off the starting podium at the precise moment Nick touched it.
Steve got up and focused on Lyle coming back down the length of the pool.
obviously gotta show werewolf steve some love too! [happy bounce]

There was some muttering in the crowd, something dark. Steve shared a glance with Wayne, having both caught on to the undertow of anger.
But who were they angry at?
“Let’s get this started,” Steve said. “I had people write the question they wanted answered the most and Mayor Roberts has graciously offered to moderate for us tonight.”
Mayor Roberts handed him a stack of notecards with questions on them.
soulmate au 2 of probably 4 this time!

First ask here.
Dustin helped him stand. “We have to get everyone together.”
Steve nodded. “I just wish there was to include Eddie without telegraphing to the asshats in town where he is.”
Dustin grimaced. “Yeah, but there isn’t.” He looked at Steve a moment. “How are you doing? I don’t think I’ve seen you like this before.”
Steve showed him his soulmark. It was black and angry.
“Why does it look like that?” Dustin nearly screamed.
and boy with a bat 1 of... let's call it 3?

Steve stood in line for the final event. The 4x100 m/yd medley or relay swim. They were all bouncing on their toes, trying to shake off their nerves.
Steve was up third with the butterfly and Ezra was last with free style, with Nike and Lyle starting for back and breaststroke respectively.
Lyle was their weakest link, and being second, it could really hurt them if Steve couldn’t pick up time. Ezra was by far and away their best and fastest swimmer. His front crawl was incredible to watch.
