Stranger things au where Steve gets powers after Starcourt. It takes a few month to settle in, so he doesn't gets the powers right away (give the poor boy time to rest lmao).

Basically, he's Venom. As in, able to go all liquid and to just..... Go into people's bodies. He's not like Venom as in he needs a host to survive, but without another person his powers are basically just Go Liquid (which can be useful in its own, he can escape from anywhere and hide in the narrowest places). When he's... Inhabiting? Another person, he can do the whole super-strenght and other Venom stuff easily!! But not by himself.

Robin is the first to know! Basically Steve just kinda dissolved into bright blue sludge one day, became human-shaped again real fast and proceeded to have a panic attack because this looked awfully like Upside-down stuff and he thought he was going to die !! So he calls Robin and she helps him calm down and at some points she hugs him real tight and he just melts into her but like..... Literally. Into her. Little bit of panic from both sides until they figure out how to separate. And then Robin is like... "... Wanna try again now that you know you weren't hurting me?" and it takes a little bit of convincing but eventually sharing a body becomes a casual thing for them.

Steve and Robin actually spend quite a bit of time sharing Robin's body. It's... Pretty comfortable? Because they're soulmates and have no boundaries and are codependent so literally living in the same body is..... Neat. They can be kind of bad at communication sometimes bc Steve has trouble asking for things and Robin sometimes has troubles identifying what she's feeling. They find out that sharing a mind makes communication stupendously easier. If Robin doesn't knows what she's feeling Steve can just go take a look (he's way better at identifying his feelings) and Robin can just take a look into Steve's mind if he can't say things. This leads to them knowing each other so well (inside and out lmao) that even when they're not fused they can guess what the other is thinking 98% of the time. They just spend a lot of time like this because sometimes Steve just wants to not exist and Robin likes to feel him wrapped around her bones.

The Party find out at some point obviously (Steve wasn't like..... Hiding it from them, he just wanted to be sure it wasn't anything bad before telling them). Dustin is super hyped and basically begs Steve inhabit him. It's an interesting experience because as i said, Steve can do the Venom stuff with people he inhabits so Dustin finds out what it feels like to be super strong and all and wow, he's like a regular superhero!! Doesn't lasts very long because Steve can (literally) feel the batshit ideas forming in Dustin's mind and no way he's doing this.

This is also good for communication bc Dustin can be a bit callous but Steve can see in his mind how much Dustin loves him and admires him and it's sweet! Dustin can also see in Steve's mind how Steve sees him as a brother too and and it's very nice!

(side effect of this is that Steve, knowing how Dustin feels about him, isn't jealous of Eddie at all ; he thinks it's sweet his kids have a new friend)

The other kids want to see how it feels too (except Mike). It makes everyone (but particularly Max and Lucas) feel super safe, because whoever Steve is inhabiting at the moment is literally the strongest person in Hawkins (since El left). They don't have to fear demorgorgons or bad people in the streets at night! Steve is careful to not let the power go to their head and remind them he's a person, not a tool they can use for reckless stunts (he does cave to using their bodies to jump from roof to roof because he knows it's not dangerous with his powers and he does thinks it's fun too). Also the fact that Steve loves all of them a lot and there's something incredible to feeling someone love you instead just knowing or thinking they love you. They trust Steve even more after that, not that they didn't before but being in someone's head and seeing how devoted he is to keeping you safe and happy is a whole another thing you know?

(also Max is really bad at communicating so when she wants to say something to Steve but doesn't knows how, she asks him to melt into her and just shoves her feelings into his brain. It's easier than talking.)

Steve and any of the kids never share a body for longer than a few hours because everyone in this equation likes their privacy and sharing a mind isn't really conductive to that. Steve and Robin, on the other hand, will share a body for fun or just because they feel like it. At some point they stayed together for so long that someone reported Steve missing and they remembered that oh shit, Steve as an entity physically separate from Robin was still a thing that existed. So now they don't stay fused together for too long or it'd be suspicious (also they don't fuse at work otherwise Steve would be fired for not being here!)

Just all-around fluff and the Party being even closer! (in certain cases, closer than humanly possible)

If you want to be added on the tag list just ask

"It's like poison" Hopper says, arms folded, a thoughtful expression. In more than a day this is all you have: a vague theory you can't be one hundred percent sure about. Nothing is certain when it comes to the Upside Down. Meanwhile those damn black veins are starting to cover Steve Harrington's neck too, leaving little room for hope. This isn't a possession, not at all a Will situation, and you find yourself wishing it was, 'cause it's something you've already gone through, something Steve can be saved from. Sadly, luckiness has stopped being on your side lately and are stuck with only a supposition and no solution, while real venom circulates in your friend's body slowly killing him. Dustin hasn't left Steve's side for a second, despite his silence and his protests. The image of Eddie Munson's lifeless body chases the boy like a ghost and he knows that if something happens to Steve too - something bad, something definitive - he wouldn't survive. Harrington is the most important person in his life at the moment. He's his brother even if he tries to push him away. With Dustin, Steve is less harsh than he's been with you. When he looks at those hopeful, innocent eyes, forced to live horror from an early age, he can't be as cruel as he would like. Also Henderson has probably understood what he's doing, the kid's always been too smart.

"You won't protect us this way. You won't protect me, neither Robin. Or Y/N. You are making it worse" Ha snaps, looking down at him. Dustin has been standing beside the bed for hours, his back against the door like a guardian angel.

"I don't know what are you talking about shithead"

"I'm serious. She deserves to know the truth." He insists, Harrington shakes his head and denies. "There is nothing to say."

"You love her. She loves you." The kid is direct, too much. Steve's heart turns upside down on hearing certain words. He knows, maybe he has always known, and probably it's because he kicked out you yesterday or the fact that he's about to die and you haven't spoken since then, but every letter that comes out of Dustin's mouth hits him with the force of a bullet.

"You've spent years making things complicated between you for no reason. It's stupid." Henderson is right, you have always found a way to make things between you two difficult. Steve with Nancy, you with Mark Dallas and then someone else whose name he doesn't even remember 'cause none of them mattered. In the end, what's left after each failed relationship is you and him. He has wasted time and now time it's running out, you're not with him and if there is anyone in the world who deserves his love and his last words, that is you. You have defended and endured him, you have slept together through the worst nights and woke up stronger. You've been beaten by Russians and worse you have faced his father - his damn scary father - for him. You have collected his secrets and saw the good in King Steve when no one else could. Steve has never known loneliness from the day he met you and as the prospect of leaving this world grows more concrete, he realizes he doesn't want to die without you.

Selfish. He wants to touch you again. Not like before, not like this. He wants to touch you softly, let his hands slide down your neck and breasts and feel the skin against yours. He would kiss you. He would make love to you for the first and last time and he would be happy. He would be fine.

"Steve you should ..."

"I won't."

"You won't what?" Dustin asks.

"Drag her down with me. I can't and I won't."

"Stupid idiot" Henderson mutters, discouraged.

"You shouldn't be here." Harrington warns, lifting his head slightly to look at the kid in the eye. He fuckin' loves that boy, he would give everything to erase all the shit he has seen.

"Steve." His voice is full of pain. He has never really had any male authority figure to look up to in his life and one day Steve Harrington began to fill the role for him in his own weird way. "Please, don't die. I can't lose you too."

----------------------------------

The second day passes faster than the first one. Unfortunately, time does not wait. Steve doesn't talk to you or even look at you. He is suffering like a caged animal. You know exactly what his stupid plan is. It's nothing different from what he has been doing for all his life: it' s like putting an arm in front of you in an attempt to protect you during a car crash, like diving in front of a danger. There's only a tiny difference: now he feels like he is the danger. You really want to shake him and yell at him until he regains some clarity but there's no time to talk, to convince him to let you come near and finally show him that you're not afraid and it's not his job to take care of your feelings, not while he's the one in danger. No, you don't have a single minute to discuss this kind of things, because you are desperately thinking of a solution. You're doing researches on the few books Nancy has managed to bring you, which have survived the destruction of the library and you're analyzing the situation, observing the evolution of his symtomps but that's not enough. You're going out of your mind. If only you could find a way, an antidote, then you shouldn't worry about his life anymore and you could scream at him angrily "You are acting like a child Harrington" and he'd wink at you or something, pretend nothing serious happened, then you would make peace. You always do. You feel your eyes close from fatigue, you haven't slept in days.

"You need to rest child, otherwise we'll have to take care of you too." Jim Hopper gently caress your face. Nights in Howkins, Indiana, are cold. The world is still split in half but you have forgotten it. You're smoking a cigarette and you don't say a word, your head resting on the man's shoulder. There is a strange peace. Then a cry. Now is your world which seems to really fall apart

Dustin wakes up in the dim lighting of the refuge taking a moment to gather his bearings. He keeps his eyes close, listening to the sounds around him. It sounds like... someone is suffocating? Oh no. Sitting up he looks around. He struggles to his feet, rushing closer to the bed. "Help!" He shouts. Hopper, Eleven and you are right next to him. Steve is lying on his back, mouth slightly parted as blood trickls down his lips and cheeks, dripping from his nose as well, eyes wide as he finds himself incapable to breathe. Eleven rolls him onto his side.

"Easy, kid, we've got you," Hop whispers.

"Help," Steve murmurs. "Please, please help me!" He is afraid. He is so afraid and he no longer cares to keep everyone away, to protect you. He doesn't want to die. Not now. Not ever. He's too young for this shit and he hasn't made his parents proud of him yet, he needs more. Just more. He doesn't want to lose you and doesn't want you to forget about him. Dustin cries, helpless.

"Y/N" Steve's eyes gain a little more clarity, "Y/N, please, I can't- I need -... I can't think. Robin, help me." Robin isn't even there. You feel bad because you have forced her to go home and now he needs her, he can't breathe and you just want to give him your lungs. You want him to live. Steve's head starts to fall and you place your trembling hands on either side of his face.

"Wake up!" You scream loudly. "Stay with me love, just stay awake for me please!" His eyes roll back into his head and he is unconscious once more, feeling the pain slowly fade away, your face imprinted in his mind. Steve thinks that if he dies now at least it will be by your side. I'm so sorry Y/N.

----------------------------------------

Steve Harrington is not dead yet, contrary to what everyone thought. He rests under your watchful eyes, his breathing light and labored. You are more determined than ever. The way he has called your name, searching for you in his worst time like you were his only hope was like a punch in the stomach. No matter what this stubborn young man says: he needs you. He needs help and you won't let him go. You will cope with your pain and your feelings later, now all you can do is walk back and forth.

"We need to find a solution quickly" Joyce says. She has run here with Nancy, Jonathan and Robin as soon as she found out what happened.

"Heat? Like with Will." Nancy proposes hopefully. You shake your head. "No this time it's different."

"Steve never complained about the heat, quite the contrary." Intervenes El, worried, occasionally glancing towards the room where the oldest boy rests. She has never had a strong bond with Steve, not like Dustin or Lucas, but he is part of the team and he has kept an eye on her during last years. He has bought her Eggos 'cause he knows how much she likes them, cooked his famous pancakes for her, secretly offered her free ice cream. Sometime he has even covered his escapades from Hopper. Eleven doesn't want him to die, he doesn't deserve to. He deserves to be happy, to see his beloved hair turn white and he deserves to do it with you. You both need time. Eleven doesn't want to see you suffer.

"The boy wants the heat, he doesn't avoid it. He asked me for more blankets before." Hopper confirms, hugging Joyce. "He's got a fever it's normal" She replies, tired and worried. Once again you wish Steve could see them: they are all worried and they care for him. His parents may be out of town for work even during the apocalypse with their only son stuck in the middle of the disaster, without even the certainty that he is okay, but there are people who are fond of him. His parents never deserved him, but Steve has another family, gathered in a small room ready to do anything to protect him.

"Let's think again, it's a poison in his body and we have to take it out and slow the spread so ..." Nancy moves around the room, nervous as you are, a hand under her chin and a thoughtful gaze. "I have an idea." You state, looking at El. "You once pulled that monster out of your body." She nods.

"You can do it again." Dustin continues, understanding your plan.

"No, no. Stop, this time it's different. That stuff is in his blood, we can't let him bleed to death." This time it is Robin who is protesting. "There might be a solution." Admits El.

The plan is simple, or so it seems, the truth is it's scary and you don't know if you'll ever be ready to face it. A tub full of ice is ready in the bathroom:"It will slow down the blood flow". With a small knife Hop will cut Steve's skin superficially, from there Eleven will try to pull out that poison in the hope that it is not fused with his blood and it is somehow like a kind of parasite. You have no certainties but it is the only solution. Joyce is sitting in a small chair, she holds the first aid kit in her hands right now to take action.

Robin is sitting on the edge of his bed holding his hands while Steve continues to rest. He has never regained consciousness after the last attack. "It still seems crazy to me. We could kill him and if he dies, I will have to work alone in that shitty place and I don't want to, I can't. He...he is my best friend, platonic soulmate with a capital P. I can't bear to lose him... I can't let you do this to him, you can rather take my blood and do whatever you like with it but not this.He...will be so scared when he'll wake up. What if he freeze to death? What if..."

"Robin." You cut her off, stroking her hair. "He could die anyway. In fact, he certainly will if we don't try now." You take a deep breath. " I have always thought that being by his side is my mission for life, the purpose for which I was born for, especially in the last years of chaos and monsters. I ... he is the most important thing to me, I wouldn't do any of this if it wasn't the only chance we have."

You look at Steve and you feel so foolish. All those years together and you haven't been able to tell a stupid little boy that you love him with every muscle of your stupid little heart, more passionately and deeply than you've ever loved anyone in your life and now this thing, these words, they seem like the most natural thing in the world. They don't scare you anymore. You approach him, you talk in his ear hoping that some remote part of his mind can hear you.

"Don't die Harrington. You die, I die." He doesn't answer, he doesn't do anything, still unconscious. You feel that you are losing the pieces along the way, as if something has broken and you cannot fix it. He is slipping out of your hands and you can't hold him back.
