Summary
Does knowing your fate change it? Is the future set in stone or do we chose our path? How would knowing details of your destiny influence the decisions you make?
Or:
What might have happened if Merlin never learned of his destiny, and therefore had to think for himself instead of following the advice of a morally ambiguous dragon.

Summary
The mall is destroyed. El’s lost her powers. Billy’s dead. So is Hopper. Steve is probably fucked up mentally for life, but what else is new? Steve has a pretty good thing going. He has kids to take care of, an awkward lesbian to advise. Max needs a big brother. Hawkins is his home, and Steve can’t just leave. Not while he’s still needed. He knows one day he won’t be. But for now, it’s enough.
Or: the Harringtons sell their house before the real estate market goes belly-up. Hawkins has been going downhill for years, anyway. His parents give Steve a choice: move with them and finally take that job at his dad’s company or get left behind. For Steve, it wasn’t much of a choice at all. He may not have a house anymore, but his BMW’s backseat has served as a bed plenty of times already. No one has to know. The party has enough problems to worry about.
Or: Eddie Munson worms his way into Steve’s sorry little life months before Vecna rears his ugly head.
Or: Steve Harrington, a character study.

Summary
Eddie felt like a fool, sure. He couldn't not feel stupid at the apparent death grip the sight of Steve Harrington in that god forsaken sailor suit had on his soul. And his erection, but that wasn't a conversation for polite company. He also felt like an absolute loser because as much time as he'd spent sitting on the bench directly outside Scoops Ahoy, he couldn't bring himself to actually go in.
He was a freak.
Not stupid.
OR
Eddie takes a uncalculated risk at Starcourt...
And it pays off--
