In 1987, two years after the Battle of Starcourt, Steve Harrington is a 21-year-old widower, emotionally isolated from friends who’ve all moved on.

Though burdened by grief, Steve finds himself slowly drawn to Ash’s warmth, humor, and refusal to treat him like a broken thing.

Summary
Six months ago, Jenna Howard left Hawkins behind. Six months ago, she turned her back on her home and was determined to learn more about her past. So she traveled to Nashville and started anew, taking the time to learn all about her parents. If she was being honest, it may have easily been the best decision she ever made.
After months of being on her own, Jenna decides to return to Hawkins. It’s not for anything in particular, just to tie up any loose ends before she truly leaves forever, but her journey home leads to some disturbing revelations. Not only had she changed —her new hair and new attitude were to die for— but there’s a new, more dangerous threat to her home.
Jenna knows what she has to do. If the people she loves are in danger, how could she leave again? Nothing would be able to stop her from saving them. To save them, she will become unstoppable.

In which the Starcourt battle is over, but Robin can sense that Steve is still fighting something.
And that something is heartbreak.
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
“And now he fucking hates me!” he continued, watching as Robin listened.
“Oh, Steve.” She didn’t know what to say.
“He does, Robin,” Steve responded, “You didn’t see the look in his eyes—he was done with me.”
“You know, you were shitting on my taste in crushes with Tammy Thompson sounding like a muppet but at least she doesn’t look like one!”
“Hey!”
“Eddie fucking Munson!” Robin barked out, continuing on with lightening up the tone of the conversation.“I gotta say, I was not expecting you to say you shacked up with a dude who looks like a muppet crossbred with every suburban mom’s nightmare!”

Summary
Steve realizes after setting his alarm to make sure he wakes on the hour if he accidentally dozes off—can’t sleep with a concussion—that…it’s probably fucked up that he didn’t need a professional to look him over to know that he at least has minor head trauma. Like, it’s probably not normal to just know you’re concussed based on accumulated experience.
It’s not quite melted people monster levels of fucked but…it’s still fucked.
But he’s thrown from his bed either way, flailing as he sits up shaky for the absolute assault happening on his front door at…motherfuck, 2:43? AM?
Who in the hell—
Steve tries to ignore it. But eventually not even all of his pillows can fully outweigh the knocking.
He gets down the stairs, clinging to the banister—definitely not steady on his feet—and yanks the goddamn door open without even bothering to check the peephole.
So not only is it a surprise to almost get clocked in face by the rapid-fire knocking fist he barely dodges in time, but the owner of the fist: one Robin Buckley.
That’s the bigger surprise, by far.

Summary
It’s a week after Starcourt that Robin realizes she still can’t lie. To Steve.

More than anything, she feels bad for Steve, really. Because Steve deserves a perfect soulmate, who’s beautiful, and smart, and caring and... well... into dudes.

Summary
There’s only one car in the driveway. It’s a familiar one. He’s spent countless hours in that passenger seat. In the driver’s seat, when the owner was a little too wasted to get behind the wheel.
In the backseat, panting into a familiar mouth.
Cradling a freckled face.
He knocks on the door.

Now, as she listed off names, Max braced herself for the absolute worst.
And then–
"Max Mayfield and Carrie Perkins."
Max froze.
Carrie. Fucking. Perkins.
As in Perkins. As in the sister of Carol Perkins. The mean girl of all mean girls.
As in why the hell was she smiling right now?

Robin sat cross-legged on her bed, halfheartedly picking through a bowl of popcorn. The TV was still on, some shitty movie Steve thought she'd like playing.
Her eyes werent on the screen. They hadnt been for a while They were on Steve.
He was sprawled across the right side of her bed, limbs tangled in her blanket, hair an absolute disaster. His right leg was off the bed, and his left arm reached out to her, resting on her leg. It was the most peaceful Robin thinks shes ever seen him.

Summary
“God"—Will sighs, quite literally star-struck—"It’s so gorgeous.” His neck is starting to hurt with the way his head is tilted, but it's a small price to pay. He wishes he had his sketchbook. In the corner of his eye Mike turn to him, silent for a few beats, just staring. Will finds he doesn’t mind it as much tonight, even with the galaxy as their audience.
“It really is.” It’s a bashful thing, if they weren’t so close he probably wouldn’t have been able to hear him. Mike sounds just as bad, if not more awed than Will, and that’s all it takes for him to break his staring contest and turn to the boy beside him.

Summary
“Daddy!” Steve watched the boy exclaim, eyes alight on Billy. His heart soared for some unknown reason in his chest. “I found you! I found you and Papa.”
Steve watched the confused look over take his boyfriend, well maybe not boyfriend, hookup, fuck—Billy’s face as those blue eyes then found his, utterly bewildered.
He shrugged his shoulders, still processing what he’d heard the boy call each of them, before scanning Max, who like her brother, gazed slack jawed.
El continued watching the boy, head still tilted. She shook it as if coming to an understanding and then turned to face all of them before replying with certainty: “Not a demodog.”

Summary
All he could smell was smoke. Sirens wailed in the distance, their cries mixed with the chatter of the officers and firemen as they tried to help those that got caught in the fire. The occasional sound of the malls collapsing into itself could be heard as well. The mall was a ruin, flames still going strong.
He was moving through the parking lot when he saw a familiar head of blood-matted hair.
"Shit," he muttered under his breath, picking up his pace.

1985 was supposed to be his year. So why does Eddie feel like everything is crashing down all around him? He’s so turned around he’s even turned to the school’s resident drug dealer, Jason “Jesus Freak” Carver, though whether that will do any good is debatable.Or

Summary
Why today, of all days? Why would this happen to him the day they’d planned to have a lake trip? He can’t go to the lake looking like this. He’ll be laughed at, and then he’ll have no choice but to drown himself in the lake and ruin the day for everyone. Then he’ll probably be stuck haunting Lover’s Lake, which is objectively just not a cool place to haunt.
Worst of all is that Nancy and Jonathan are both coming along on this stupid lake trip, and if he embarrasses himself in front of them he won’t even need to drown himself because he’ll shrivel up and die on the spot.
Steve has an embarrassing suntan, Nancy and Jonathan struggle with jealousy, and Robin’s just dragged along for the ride.
