    Summary

    He’s on the side of the interstate in the warm woven center of night, and Scully is not in his passenger seat. He’s thinking about a research paper he wrote as an undergraduate about suicide methods.

    a small weird cancer arc thing about the space between elegy and demons, because it haunts me that those episodes are back to back. lobotomies, psychotic breaks, Vonnegut, best friends. and berries

    Summary

    Maybe Steve’s always been good at lying, or maybe this is what truth tastes like now. Maybe he does hate his old house, like he hates all his old selves, and maybe that is how he loves Hawkins: a place that tore him, like a bad tooth, out of the life he thought he knew.

    Dropped him, free-falling, into a new one.

    Good ache. It’s a good ache. You can see for miles if you know where to stand.

    [Steve, after everything, doesn’t quite know where to start. And then there’s Nancy.]

    Summary

    But maybe Steve’s tired of Robin always haranguing him, so he relents. Because he’s Batman with a squad of Robins—and Batgirl, he supplies when Robin shoots him a look—and because he spent so much time cleaning out Jimmy Fast Hands’ bathroom that he needs to make all that effort worth it.

    “That’s just sunk cost fallacy, man,” Dustin says to him. “And if you’re worried about a gate opening in your pool, may I remind you that the sidewalk right outside of the station split in half, revealing the fiery and somewhat dead depths of the Upside Down, which was why Jimmy Fast Hands beat it—”

    Steve just flaps a hand at him. It could mean anything from quit your yapping (except then he’d press his fingers together, and he didn’t) to come give me a hand, and it’s usually the latter, but Dustin doesn’t want to give in.

    Summary

    “Nothing’s going to change what’s happening. She doesn’t even have her parents there to help her deal with it all, and she’s looking out for Mike at the same time. She’s…”

    Jonathan faltered. Organising a funeral for Will, trying to handle the impossibility that was the death of his baby brother, the way his Mum spoke to lights instead of helping—it all flashed through his mind.

    “She’s so strong,” he said slowly, turning to face forward. “But shit like this breaks you. It changes you.”

     

    Or: The conversation Steve and Jonathan could have had in the WSQK van in Season 5, Episode 2 if the Duffers weren’t cowards who don’t know their own characters.
