Summary
They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.
“What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.
“...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.
“I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.
Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.
Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.

Summary
At any rate, it goes like this: Eddie gets dumped, or he does the dumping. He mopes around, taking comfort from Steve, and Steve likes to pretend that Eddie’s all his. Then, Eddie inevitably goes stir-crazy and goes out. Hooks up with a guy, then two, and inevitably ends up dating one of them.
And that’s when Steve seduces him.
Not Eddie, of course. Steve doesn’t think he can do that. Steve doesn’t know how. Eddie doesn’t even know he likes men.
No, he just fucks Eddie’s boyfriends.
In an act of profound dysfunction and self-destruction, Steve Harrington develops the unfortunate habit of sabotaging Eddie's relationships by sleeping with his partners. This inevitably blows up in his face, but the fallout isn't what he expected.

Summary
"I mean take care of him. You can't just let him run wild, Wheeler. Let him jump you in every bathroom, let him hump your leg like a bitch in heat."
Steve makes a noise, squirming, hands on his lap.
"That's," Nancy's appalled. "That's sexist! You can't say that about omegas!"
"I'm not saying it about omegas," says Carol, nonplussed, "I'm saying it about Steve."
Or, Carol gives Nancy a crash course in keeping Steve Harrington in check.

Summary
Josie points at the biggest letters. “What’s it say?”
Mom kneels in front of the stone, pulling her lightly into her lap. “Want to try sounding it out?”
Josie nods, and Mom gently steers her finger to trace the first letter, a large S.
“Sss,” Josie tries, and Mom nods, so she keeps going. “Tuh. Ee. Vee. Ee.” She furrows her brow, concentrating, and then declares, “Stevie-E.”
“Close.” Mom leans back again, gently placing a bouquet of pink flowers down. “Steve.”
“Steve,” she echoes.
“Steve.” Mom’s voice softens. “His name was Steve.”
Steve Harrington dies. Decades later, Dustin Henderson resurrects him.
This is not that story. That story’s already been told. No, this is about what comes after.

Tied for Third by some1_around

Summary
Vincent Lemaire has been the best player on every team he's ever been on, so it makes sense when he's nominated for Rookie of the Year. Ethan Korogyi has been winning national championships since he was twelve years old, so it's only logical that he goes third in the draft overall.
But those achievements don't really matter. They don't mean anything when they are perpetually behind Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.
At least they have each other. That's something Rozanov and Hollander will never understand.

Summary
Shane is lonely. He knows this because there have been multiple attempts by different people in his life to make him acknowledge this. It has been an increasing concern for his parents, who previously kept their comments sparse, before his career kicked off in earnest and they could finally iron out some of his social flaws. This manifests in increasingly farfetched and undesirable suggestions - you should join a running club; you should email this influencer - you never know!; you should see if that brand ambassador could be your plus one to this event.
His friends, too, keep poking their noses in his business. Some of his them are easier to shake off - Hayden goes quiet after a few noncommittal hums from him at the suggestion of a double date. JJ is happy if they get a beer once in a while. Rose however - Rose buys him a dog.

A love story, told through Google reviews.
(or, Shane leaves a negative review on a restaurant in Saint Petersburg and spends the next decade being haunted by the owner's son.)
