Summary
Nancy untwists her hands and smooths them down the front of her skirt. "Look. What if we just…say it at the same time?"
"Oh." Jonathan clears his throat. "Yeah. Okay. Uh, on three?"
He doesn't realize how childish the idea sounds until after he's said it, but if anything, Nancy looks relieved. "Sure. On three."
"Okay," Jonathan nods. "One…two..."
“Three," Nancy finishes.
And then he blurts, “I don’t think I like having sex,” at the same time as Nancy says, “I think I like Steve.”

Summary
Sometimes Steve remembers that living in a town with a pretty obvious cult just outside it isn’t actually normal. But everyone in Hawkins has sort of gotten used to it.
Steve doesn’t think about it all that much. It’s a part of life in Hawkins, and high school’s a bitch, and Steve’s busy juggling his relationship with Nancy Wheeler (and the nagging suspicion it’s all falling apart), and the tightness in his chest when spending time with her these days almost always means spending time with her fellow Hawkins Post intern Jonathan, and keeping his grades up enough to graduate this year and keep his father placated, and the weird tension with Tommy and Carol lately, and also how he’s somehow babysitting almost a half dozen kids nowadays, whose newest obsession is ghost hunting and have been bullying Steve into taking them to every abandoned house in Hawkins.
A prequel to Warm These Bones, but can be read as a standalone
Series

Summary
Erica raises her eyebrows behind her sunglasses. “You're hanging out with Nancy and Jonathan now? Didn’t Nancy dump you and stomp all over your heart last year?”
“Whoa, that is not what happened.”
Erica turns to Robin, as if seeking confirmation, and Robin says, “Well…”
“Robin!”
“What I can’t understand,” Dustin starts. “Is why? You don’t even like Jonathan.”
“I like Jonathan just fine!” Steve shouts, loudly enough that the couple in the car next to them shoots them a look that makes the back of Steve’s neck heat.

Summary
“Well, what have you been up to?”
“What, in the last,” Todd glances at his watch, “two and a half hours? Nothing.”
“Nothing,” Neil quietly repeats, and sighs. “I don’t believe that for a second.”
“What could I possibly have been doing?”
“I don’t know,” Neil shrugs. “I mean, even if you sat there the entire time, that’s still more than nothing.” He wriggles around until he props up on an elbow and leans to face Todd, squinting at him. “You can’t fool me, Anderson.” He presses a finger against his temple, and flops back onto his bed. “I know you’ve got a whole world up there.”Todd has revelations - some about love, but mostly about writing. They're the same thing, in the end.
