Summary
Nothing has been coming up Steve Harrington, lately. No relationship has panned out since Nancy left him, he didn't make it into any colleges, so now his father is making him work a minimum wage job at the mall, where he wears a ridiculous sailor costume and his coworker seems to hate him for no reason. It only tracks that now Steve is running late to said job at Scoops Ahoy. So who else would would the universe send to get stuck with him in the mall's revolving door but grade A annoyance Billy Hargrove? Wait, that was a rhetorical question—

Nothing Looks The Same In The Light by Pacific_Restless_Sleeper
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
04 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
With all the supernatural, inter-dimensional terrors, it's sometimes easy to forget the mundane, real world horrors that plague the world.
Steve goes missing shortly after his parents unexpectedly arrive back home. Dustin rallies what remains of the Party after half their team has left for California to try and get him back. Except this time it’s not the Upside Down, just good old fashioned human prejudice. To spring Steve from the conversion therapy camp his parents sent him to, the Party turns to a new, tentative ally who has some experience in criminal acts, general misbehaviour, and maybe even the very place Steve’s been sent to: Eddie Munson.
