Summary
Apparently one of the after-effects of Russian drugs, apart from the worse hangover ever, is developing superpowers. Steve wishes someone had warned him about that. Luckily one of the other side effects is gaining a new best friend to whom you are trauma bonded for life.
Now if only could someone tell Steve how to deal with feeling what everyone around him is feeling, it would be great, thank you very much.
Or a post-season 3, pre-season 4 and season 4 rewrite au-ish in which Robin and Steve have superpowers thanks to experimental Russian drugs, become the very best of bestest of friends, deal with college decisions, develop not very straight crushes and save the world... in that order... they are so ready for retirement at age 19.
This fic is inspired by “Jackrabbit Underneath” by Grey_Lark and “Emotion sickness” by Shypt. I loved their ideas on Steve having empathy powers and decided to give it my try.

Summary
The bats catch up to Robin, Steve, Eddie, and Nancy a mile away from the trailer park. And that should be the end of them. There's too many monsters to fight, and they're way faster than the Wheelers' sorta-stolen bikes. They're dead. It's over.
Except Steve has a secret.
(Or, a Steve-was-a-lab-kid fic that starts with the reveal and goes from there)

Summary
Eddie made his decision.
He couldn’t protect her back then, in the lab surrounded by powered kids, soldiers with guns and Papa.
But he would protect her now. Even if he had to run again to do it.

Summary
Eddie had done a lot of running recently. He’d run when Chrissy died, when Jason and his gang was hunting him, when the cops gave his name to the town and started a witch hunt for the freak. He’d run from all of it, and more.
He’d run from the lab. He’d run from Papa.
He couldn’t run any longer.
~*~*~
My own take on the 'Eddie is from Hawkin's Lab' theory!

Summary
Eddie supposed the only reason he was alive right now was because Vecna realized who he was—what he was.
He didn’t bother responding to his captor. He’d read enough comic books to know that any villain worth their salt would spill the beans in a grandiose speech without much prompting.
“Don’t you have any words of greeting for your brother?” Vecna asked.
OR
Eddie is Ten, but his powers have been dormant ever since he escaped Hawkins Lab during Vecna’s rampage. Finding himself stuck in the Upside Down, Eddie tries to regain his powers so he can get back to the party—and one Steve Harrington.

Summary
“Sorry, little brother,” he says. His thumbs trace the muscles in his neck. “You know. It was a neat trick. But I’m afraid you just aren’t that special, in the end.”
Or: In a world where after Eight escapes, and before Eleven, another child makes it out of the lab.

Summary
In a scientific study, a control group is used to establish a cause-and-effect relationship by isolating the effect of an independent variable. In contrast, the experimental group is where the independent variables are introduced, which may alternate depending on the nature, type, or anticipated outcome of the experiment. In the case of the experiments performed at Hawkins National Laboratory, scientists experienced a near-total loss of the control group. But what only a handful of people knew was that many of the members of the experimental group survived...and now they were being targeted.
Also known as a "Steve has powers" fic, because I just love those! Enjoy!

Summary
Hundreds of miles away Kali collapses into the nearest chair, the news forcing a choked sob from her throat. She’s thought all this time Seven was dead, had died at the hands of the lab and their soldiers for her. She had mourned him, the grief carried around with her each day. She never spoke of him, none of her friends knew he ever existed, the pain was still too raw after all this time. And to find out he’s alive? He’s walking around alive, living his life and she had never bothered even checking, too certain in his death.
——-
What if Steve was number Seven but had forgotten over the years, and what if El was accidentally shown the wrong memory, not one of her but of Steve escaping the lab all those years ago.

Summary

“Stranger.” He replied.

Summary
When Steve sees Eleven again, he wants to cry.
_
Steve Harrington was raised in Hawkins Lab, and he's spent the past six years trying his best to forget. It doesn't matter that he can stop time with his mind or that most nights he wakes up screaming. He's Steve, not Seven. He's moved on.
Or at least he thought he had, until the little sister he thought was dead shows up.
