Summary
The memory still burned fresh in Robin's mind; Nancy and Eddie, staring into the distance with empty eyes.
They'd given their lives to save the others, but it hadn't been enough. Max was in a coma, and Hawkins had been ripped in four by the glowing rifts that cut through the earth. They'd had to leave them behind, so certain that their bodies had been rotting in the Upside Down for days.
“It’s another nightmare.” Robin whispered to herself as she stared at the figures looming before her.
Nancy and Eddie stared back, their clothes caked in blood and their eyes glowing red.
– • ☾ • –
Or: Hawkins has been completely cut off from the outside world. A few days after losing the battle against Vecna, Eddie and Nancy come back from the dead.

Summary
The world is ending. Hawkins has fallen. The Upside Down has won.
Months after the invasion, Steve Harrington is one of the few left alive, stuck inside a military compound with the remains of his broken found family. Every day is a fight for survival, a fight to push back the creatures that have destroyed everything.
And then it all goes to hell.
A routine supply run turns into a massacre. Steve barely escapes with his life, taking shelter in the last place he ever wanted to be—the Creel House. Fueled by grief, anger, and the unbearable weight of everyone he’s lost, he destroys the grandfather clock that once haunted Max Mayfield’s visions.
And time shatters.
When Steve wakes up, Hawkins is intact. The world hasn’t ended. But something is wrong. The date is November 6, 1983. Will Byers has just gone missing. And Steve Harrington might be the only one who can stop the end of the world before it even begins.
But changing the past comes with a cost. And as Steve soon realizes, just because he’s gone back in time doesn’t mean things will turn out better. Some things can’t be fixed. Some things were always broken. And some things—if messed with—can break even worse.

✘ ❦ ✘

Summary
Hellfire is down one member due to a basketball game, so Dustin is looking for replacements. Who better to call than Steve Harrington?
Too bad Steve says no. Even worse, Steve decides to make it his problem to confront Eddie Munson for messing with his rugrats' unbreakable bond because, really, wasn't Eddie the adult here? Shouldn't he be the one making the better call?
(OR: Steve Harrington unwittingly forces himself into Eddie Munson's introduction to the Upside Down)
(OR, OR: Season 4 rewrite where Eddie is both metal and gay, and Steve is a tired babysitter (mom) who makes a comment that leads to the wrong conclusion... but maybe... it's not wrong? Maybe it actually makes a whole lot of sense, now that he thinks about it...)
(OR, OR, OR: Season 4, but Eddie doesn't run and Mike doesn't go to California. And it changes pretty much everything.)
