    Summary

    “Jesus, Harrington.” Hargrove’s scrubbing his palms on his scrubs, like he’s trying to wipe off Robin’s cooties. “Just pick anything, it’s not that deep.”

    “Whu—” Steve sputters, because seriously, what the hell does Hargrove know? “Then you come up with something, asshole!”

    Hargrove’s mouth snaps shut. Clearly the dickhead didn’t think Steve was gonna call him on it. Chewing his lip for a minute, Hargrove’s eyes dart around the room. Then, slowly, like he’s sounding out the letters, he grumbles, “… Arnold.”

    That sounds… familiar. Why is that familiar? Wait a fucking second. “Like the Terminator guy?”

    Hargrove bristles, crossing his arms defensively. “Yeah, Harrington, like the Terminator guy.”

    ---

    Billy comes back from the dead, Steve gets strong-armed into letting him crash on his couch, and more or less winds up championing the asshole’s character development. (Also, there’s a baby somewhere in the mix.)

    Summary

    ‘We’re good together,’ Harrington says to the darkness above. Not a question. Matter of fact. He turns to Billy, a smile sweet enough to make Billy want to do something reckless. Something stupid. ‘I’m telling you, heartbreaker. We’re gonna be unstoppable.’

    Billy wants to ask. If he means tomorrow. If he means just for the game.

    Wants to ask if he means forever.

    He’s never wanted anyone to mean forever before.

    or; falling (in love), the hard way

    Summary

    “I already have an escape plan,” Deadpool says. He grabs Peter’s wrist, raises it above his head, and then digs his thumb into Peter’s spinneret.

    Or: Peter gets bitten by a spider, immediately runs into Deadpool, and later keeps running into him, but as Spider-Man. Also, spinnerets. Okay, mainly: spinnerets.

    Summary

    When Steve gets outside, Billy’s up against the bricks at the far end of the bar. His lip is split and his nose is bleeding, and he’s going to have one hell of a black eye, Steve thinks. Billy’s got an arm curled around his ribs, too, and Steve knows enough about the way that Billy looks when he’s hurting to know that means he’s hurting bad.

    ~

    Back in Hawkins for the first time since they broke up, Steve's drawn to trouble in two ways. The first way has to do with monsters. The second way has to do with Billy Hargrove.
