    Summary

    Steve never tells anyone about Billy. He watches Max disappear into herself with grief and guilt but he can’t bring himself to tell her that he feels it, too. That he knows the loss is mixed up with hatred and relief, but is still pure in the way it pierces something fundamental inside of him, and he gets it. He just never tells anyone.

    But then there is Eddie Munson, with a wickedness that feels wholesome and warm and slowly, Steve is starting to think he might want it. He just doesn’t think he can figure it out without first figuring out how to let go of Billy.

    Summary

    “Steven,” he says, slurs, maybe, a little at the end, “I am so deeply apologetic for the way I kicked your ass when we fought five years ago.”

    Steve is close enough in his beanbag that he can swat Jonathan’s outstretched hand away.

    “I’m seriously not mad about it. Or like, not at you. I just mean like—you, Billy, the demobats, the—” Steve’s voice trails off, distant for a second, like he was going to say something else and then decided not to. “All I’m saying is, it’s a long line of people who have beaten my ass. I have a jaded interest in trying not to add to it.”

    Jonathan rolls his head over—feels how heavy it is, enjoys it, the looseness of it all—and narrows his eyes at Steve, who is looking at him plaintively. He has a sense of where this was going, and no real desire to follow it there, but he’s too damn tired and too grateful for Steve’s quiet home and good pot and newfound friendship to fully dig his heels in about it.

    “Teach me,” Steve pleads, hands clasped for effect. “Jonathan Byers, teach me how to not get my ass kicked anymore.”

    OR: Jonathan teaches Steve how to take a punch, and it goes very poorly, for both involved.

    Summary

    “Are you seeing anyone?”

    “What?” Steve asks, mouth half-open. He stops stirring his coffee and uses all that movement on his head, which shakes so hard that his hair flops side to side. “No, no, no, it’s not like that. Rob and I are—like, I mean that—it’s not—”

    Jonathan’s eyebrows hit his hairline.

    “I meant, like, a doctor,” he says, slowly. “You know. For your multiple concussions.”

    OR: Jonathan and Steve make apologies, make amends, and make new friends.

    Summary

    It’s been a year and a half since Hawkins split apart, a year since him and El broke up for good, and a month since he’s had a good night of sleep. 

    Currently, Mike’s weekly struggles mostly consist about keeping his grades above passing, not letting his feelings for Will get in the way or their newly repaired friendship, and not reacting too strongly to any of the bullshit he hears during Sunday Sermons –he’d rather not have another hour long lecture from his mother about respect, thank you very much.

    But as Mike's feelings get harder and harder to keep at bay, Vecna makes his first move. When their plans go awry, Mike faces one of his biggest fears: losing Will for good.
