    Summary

    It is not the Todd Anderson of Welton sitting there on that hospital cot, with his uniform blazer two sizes too big and his tie all disheveled. It is twenty-seven year old Todd Anderson, who has shed both his babyfat and meekness for a lean, manly confidence. His jaw is sharp and his cheekbones are prominent, and, to make matters impossibly worse, he has gained the startling ability to grow facial hair.

    It would take a blind, foolish man not to recognize that he is handsome now. Grown-up.

    Doctor Neil Perry can’t breathe.

    Volta (n.) A rhetorical shift or change. When a poem takes a dramatic turn into revelation.

    Summary

    Steve doesn’t think anything of it, the first time. He’s sitting in the boathouse with Munson, waiting for something to happen. He refuses to think about it as hanging out or anything. It’s not like they really know each other.

    -

    Or, the one where Eddie won't stop saying "as you wish". It doesn't make things any easier for Steve to figure out.

    Summary

    Dustin isn’t jealous. No matter what Max says. Or Lucas. Or Robin. Mike’s response is a derisive snort at the idea of anyone wanting to willingly spend time with Steve. “He’s gonna make Eddie a boring prep if he spends too long around him.”

    El’s only input is, “Having more friends is good. Isn’t it?” and when Will assures her that it is good, he gives Dustin a look that’s begging him to not make this a thing.

    Typically speaking, Dustin doesn’t love being in the dark about things he considers himself well-versed in.

    So, when a mystery presents itself, he was never going to just leave it alone. Obviously.

    [Or: Dustin Henderson, teen detective, and the case of the sudden, uncommonly close friendship between one Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson.]

    Summary

    During a conversation with Vickie, Robin decides to start using Steve as her beard and sure, lying to her parents is great, and she doesn't mind Hawkins thinking she's getting it on with Steve Harrington, but then lovable, idiotic Steve decides it's a great idea to carry on the lie to Eddie to make him jealous. Robin has had enough of her platonic soulmate being this fucking stupid, but sure, whatever, it'll work out in the end, it always does with Steve.

    “Should I — like, go?” Eddie stares at them, still lifting up the duvet so cold air is getting on Robin’s thighs, she curls her toes under the shins of the massive fucking idiot next to her. “If you guys wanna —?”

    Eddie, Robin thinks, is probably the only person they should tell about the whole fake part of their relationship. Eddie, Robin thinks, is probably the only other person in the world who would’ve even volunteered to be her beard. Eddie, who they share a bed with when they’re drunk like this, is the last person they need to start lying to but for some reason Steve has decided they need to defend themselves against Eddie and Robin can only stare at Steve and think "why him, why is he your soulmate?"

    Summary

    “Alright, listen. You want to romance Max? It’s easier said than done.” When Lucas’s face falls, Steve is quick to tack on, “But it is doable. There are steps. Six of them.” He spreads his hands theatrically, bending a little at the waist as if setting the scene.

    or: Lucas needs love advice, Dustin & Robin despair, and Steve's a regular Casanova.
