Summary
November, 1989: Two years after Vecna’s defeat and the implosion of the Upside Down, and six months after the kid’s graduation, Steve Harrington might finally be settling in. He’s got a great new girlfriend, a place in Forest Hills, and a job he loves coaching a team of middle schoolers in the fine art of baseball.
He couldn’t ask for much more, not after all the shit he’s been through in the last six years. Really, it’s the life he’s always wanted…
But then there’s these military spooks showing up at his door, asking way too many questions about the familiar yet impossible voice he’s been hearing in the woods. For the life of him, Steve can’t figure out if it’s bad karma, dumb luck, or fate.

Summary
Steve’s visions might be disjointed, confusing, and generally a pain in the ass, but they did help him save Barb Holland. So when he has a new vision -- one that shows Bob Newby's death -- he knows he can’t ignore it.
Unfortunately, whatever’s creeping back into Hawkins isn’t waiting around for Steve to figure things out. The Upside Down is spreading, something is very wrong with both Will and Barb, and the demogorgons are definitely not done with them yet.
Now, Steve and his growing group of friends have to try to stop it before things get even worse. Which would be easier if Steve wasn’t also freaking out about the fact that he probably likes boys, and he definitely likes Eddie Munson.
Barb, meanwhile, is having plenty issues of her own, like terrifying hallucinations of the Upside Down, and even worse – an unrequited crush on her best friend.

Summary
Steve’s finally done it.
After saving Barb and Will from the Mind Flayer, he confessed his feelings to Eddie – and now they’re a thing. An actual thing. Steve is on the cusp of graduating, has a summer job lined up, and Eddie is finding every available opportunity to make out with him.
Life is good. Almost perfect, really.
Except Eddie still won’t put a label on what they are, he balks at the idea of even their closest friends finding out about them, and Steve can’t help wondering if Eddie really wants him the same way Steve wants Eddie.
When Steve has visions of Billy Hargrove with black veins under his skin and of a damn meat monster tearing through the new Starcourt Mall, he realizes that figuring out his relationship status with Eddie Munson may unfortunately be the least of his problems.

Summary
In the spring of 1983, Steve Harrington starts seeing and hearing things he shouldn’t.
A nail-studded bat and flashing lights. Children’s high, bickering voices. Lapping blue water, chlorine, and guilt. Moments from a life he hasn’t lived crash into him without warning.
Steve might be losing his mind, but he's certain of one thing: Barbara Holland is going to die. Before the year is out, someone – or something – is going to murder her. So he does the only logical thing – he attempts to befriend her. It's easier to save someone if you're standing next to them, right?
Setting out to save Barb is supposed to make things make sense.
Instead, it causes Steve to question everything he thought he knew. The visions keep coming. And the more Steve tries to fix things, the more uncertain the world around him becomes. Especially when it comes to Eddie Munson – someone who Steve shouldn't have any reason to care about. But no matter what Steve does, every path seems to lead him back to Eddie.

Summary
Hazily, Steve forced his gaze downward to take in his clothes. He was wearing his Scoops uniform, the fabric covered in varying amounts of ash and dirt, the shitty thing paired with his new pair of blue Adidas sneakers—the ones Dustin had insisted he buy because they apparently matched his work uniform.
Shakily, he brought a hand up to the back of his neck, flinching as he felt a half-formed scar underneath his fingertips.
"What the hell?" Steve swore, staring down at the blood that now covered his hand.
A crow squawked somewhere in the distance, the sound reverberating around his skull painfully.
Or: Steve dies at the end of season 3 and gets transported to the start of season 4 as a ghost.
