Summary
In 1980s Chicago, Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley have built a new life at the Prism Palace, a vibrant gay club that's become their sanctuary and chosen family. Steve keeps the backstage chaos running smoothly as the reliable stage manager, while Robin shines as the charismatic MC "Rockin' Robin," hyping crowds and holding the community together with her infectious energy.
But as the AIDS crisis deepens, claiming friends and loved ones one by one, Steve struggles with a grief he can't fight, no monsters to battle, just quiet, relentless loss. Used to protecting everyone, he's powerless here, the weight pulling him into depression and doubt.
Hoping to lift his spirits, Robin reaches out to Dustin and Eddie, now touring Europe with the rising Corroded Coffin, sharing how badly Steve's been hurting. A phone call might help, she thinks. Instead, they do one better: dropping everything to surprise him at the club, crashing back into his world and make things more confusing for himBookmarked by James345

Summary
Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson had met long before Dustin Henderson dragged Steve down to Reefer Rick's cabin. Hawkins wasn't a huge town, and there was only the one highschool, but the two were never friends. Didn't even like each other. In all their darkest moments however, they somehow found company together.
Or the one where Steve has depression, Eddie becomes his safe space, and when Eddie encounters battles he can't fight, Steve reminds Eddie of his own strength.
A pre-/peri-/post-S4 fic with Steddie before S4 events, continuing through and after.
