Summary
“You were the King of Hawkins High -- what have you ever lost, huh?" snapped Jonathan. "A little sleep? Your fucking prom king title? Give me a break. I’m sick of you acting like you know what we’ve been through, you weren’t even there when it started!”
Steve stood up. “Shut up, Byers.”
___________________________In the midst of the end of the world, Steve only cares about one thing: keeping everyone else safe.
Not everyone understands. -

Summary
Darry was going to be sick.
The grief kept climbing up his throat, curling deep inside his gut- salt in the wound. It had been half a year, and he still hadn’t cried.
He couldn’t, anyway. He didn’t have the time.
or,,, Darry has not thought about himself in ages. People are starting to notice.

Summary
Arthur turned towards him, his piercing eyes illuminated by moonlight. “What are you going on about?”
“Me,” said Merlin. He threw the blanket off of him, and gagged. “Fuck. No.”
Arthur sat up even straighter. Almost as if he cared about Merlin’s unease. About Merlin. But that wasn’t possible. It wasn’t.
Arthur moved closer. “What’s the matter with you?” He grabbed Merlin’s arm, pulling him towards him to look at his face. He sucked in a breath, noticing Merlin’s eyes, which were most certainly glazed over, if Merlin’s hazy vision was any indication. Arthur pressed the back of his palm to Merlin’s forehead. He swallowed. “You’re burning up, Merlin. Are you ill?”

Summary
“Don’t tell Steve,” Ponyboy grits out harshly, fighting back tears in his eyes. He hadn’t taken his hands away from his ankle since Two-Bit had stopped by to pick him up from practice.
“Kid, I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” said Two-Bit, eyes flickering over to Pony from the driver’s seat. “He’s the one who’s staying over while Darry and Soda are out of town, not me.”

Summary
Darry didn’t know the last time he had slept.
Not really, anyway. It had been intervals of one, maybe two, maybe three hours a night- if he was lucky.
He just couldn’t. Not with the bills piling up, not with the social workers breathing down his neck, waiting for him to mess up.
or, Darry Curtis is making himself sick, trying to work as much as possible to support his brothers. He wants to make sure their family stays together.
Sodapop and Ponyboy just want Darry to take a break.

Summary
Steve Harrington has a mission: get Robin Buckley her happy ending with Nancy Wheeler. The problem? It's 1984, and being gay in Hawkins is a social death sentence... unless the most popular guy in school changes the rules.
Steve's plan: hang out with the town freak, Jonathan Byers, to "normalize" diversity.
The problem: Jonathan Byers would rather be eaten by another demogorgon than help Steve Harrington.
Steve will discover that Jonathan is much more complicated than he imagined. And Jonathan will discover that "King Steve" might not be the bad guy he thought he was... though that won't stop him from wanting to punch him in the face.

Summary
Steve still isn’t moving. His eyes are open, but they’re not looking at anything and he hasn’t moved from where he sprawled back on the floor after Dustin hit him. He hadn’t swung that hard. He hadn’t. He couldn’t have. That’s not what happened.
“Steve?” Dustin says, scooting closer to him on the ground.
Steve jerks to look at him, but only his eyes really move, like he’s responding to sound, not responding to his name, and then his eyes roll right back into his head, and Steve starts seizing.

Summary
Over the course of his impromptu, and most unprecedented sojourn, Steve was forced to come to the conclusion that there were, in fact, no possible comfortable positions to be had when you were 5 '11 and stuffed in the cold, unforgiving depths of your own high school locker.
Fucking fantastic.
Or, Steve keeps finding himself in small, dark spaces and well, it's just getting embarrassing at this point.

Summary
It doesn’t matter that he gets virtually no sleep, or that his grades are at an all-time low. It doesn’t matter that he jumps at absolutely everything and that he thinks he’s going crazy. And it certainly doesn’t matter that his parents are back in town. Non of that matters because life has never been better for Steve Harrington… at least that’s what he tells himself anyway.
-or-
I actually put Steve through hell.
