    Summary

    Resources, though abundant now, would inevitably run out. The plague had taught this to Daniil. A lesson he would have never learned in the Capital, for better or worse. Abundance had come to the town in the plague's aftermath, but he couldn't seem to accept it. All he could see was lack.

    But there were theories of another way to care for the sick and suffering. No pills. No morphine. Research pursued to determine the true power of persuasion, of the voice over the mind. With his guilt looming over him, the strange technique of hypnotism intrigues Daniil.

    And anything that intrigues Daniil, intrigues Artemy.

    Summary

    “Good morning, Sleeping Beauty,” Dustin snarks. He rolls his eyes and heaves himself out of the passenger side of the bimmer, slamming the door behind him. He sticks his head through the passenger window, offering Steve a sarcastic sneer. “Have a good nap?”

    Steve smacks his lips and swallows hard, but the odd metallic taste doesn’t leave his mouth. Dustin huffs at his lack of response and smacks the flat of his palm against the side of the car. Usually, Steve would reprimand him for that, tell the kid something about the paint job, or dents, but Dustin storms out of Steve’s sight before he can catch up to the situation. Steve’s slumped over the steering wheel, letting it press into the side of his face and his ribs, a radiating ache, but he knows the moment he moves, the pain will flare into something sharp and unbearable.

    He has to bear it

    or: steve stumbles, more than he walks away from crashing his beloved bimmer

    Summary

    Steve is pulled away from his big city marketing job when a lucrative offer comes in on his old family home, only Hawkins is nothing like he remembers. In his ten year absence, the small town has transformed into a holiday wonderland.

    The longer he stays in Hawkins, the more he gets reacquainted with old friends (including Eddie Munson, the summer fling he abandoned all those years ago) and makes some new ones. He also finds himself getting invested in the town's Christmas-y future and starts rethinking his plan to sell the house to a big Chicago development firm.

    And as his old feelings for Eddie return, he wonders if his real mistake was running away in the first place.
