    Summary

    When a creature with slimy skin, elongated claws, and bulb face bursts through the Byers’ ceiling, Steve knows the world is ending.

    Not because monsters are real. Steve believes in monsters. Killed more than he can count, and encountered dozens more since he was a child. Monsters of ancient origins, when gods reigned supreme from their mountain palace.

    The monster isn’t the issue. It’s the place.

    Because there are no monsters in Hawkins. Just ask his mom.
    -.-
    In a world where the Greek Gods and ancient myths are very real and intertwined with modern society, Steve Harrington has the distinct misfortune of being his mother's favorite child. To be loved by a goddess, the universe demands he suffer the worst the Fates can imagine.

    But even the Moirai couldn’t imagine a mundane Midwest town filled with psychic kids, interdimensional monsters, and a threat with the power to compromise the veil separating Gods and mortals.

    Summary

    That made him freeze. There’s no way, right? It was just a coincidence, Finney and a baseball game. It didn’t mean anything. But he looked up at the screen and saw a painfully familiar face with two long braids of brown hair that matched his own. His little sister, Gwen.

    Summary

    In the wake of the intense battle, Hopper’s post-Russian resurrection, the Byers' move back to Hawkins, and the group’s gradual recovery, the party decided to have bi-weekly movie nights at either the Byers or the Harrington residence. After the first month of the kids and Eddie arguing over what movie to watch, Steve had decided he had enough, and they started to rotate whose choice of movie they would watch.
    On May 31st 1986, it just so happens to be one Dustin Henderson's turn to pick. The day of, Dusin spends his morning looking through his own tapes and in the process, discovers a banged up and unlabeled black tape. His natural curiosity moves him to pick this as his movie selection as neither he nor his mother can remember what exactly is on this tape.

    Little does he know, this decision will lead to hidden truths being revealed and a complete destruction of how he views one of the most important people in his life.
    ⎯⎯
    Or in other words, the party watches The Black Phone and Steve Harrington must confront his true self and his past. Includes integration of the tape into the overall world of Stranger Things.

    Summary

    Steve sighs, like he’s trying to laugh but he can’t quite manage it. “I’m sorry, man,” he says too lightly, “gonna need you to drive for a bit. I know it’s not part of the plan, but hey.” He gets out a laugh now, but all it does is set Eddie’s teeth on edge. “Henderson said you’re good at—what’s it called, in your game? Improv?”

    And Eddie hates it, hates how soft Steve’s voice is, hates how the conversation is so clearly a distraction, a last ditch attempt at protection from… he doesn’t know. He doesn’t want to know.
