    Summary

    So he knew, objectively, that his family was a dysfunctional mess. Every day he woke up with the knowledge that they didn't love each other.
    On most days he wondered if they loved him.

    But Mike had a family. Mike had Holly and he had Nancy and he loved them as much as they loved him. He had the Party and Steve and Robin and Eddie. He'd rather fight another weird ass government experiment gone wrong than tell them that but he did. He thinks Nancy knew anyway by the way she grinned and ruffled his hair.

     

    OR; The role each of the 'babysitters' have in The Party's life, told from the perspective of Mike Wheeler.

    Summary

    “Back in tenth grade, he’d done his final report for World History on prophecies. The Greeks were kind of the last people who’d really made a big deal about it, even though there’d been recorded True Prophecies well into the 19th and 20th centuries. It was more that people had gotten weird about it — didn’t want to believe in predestination and a concrete future, even though it was something like a one in a billion chance you’d get a True Prophecy about yourself or even someone you knew; people just liked to feel special, Eddie thought, and hated when they weren’t — and so it had slid to the fringes of society and anyone who might have Sight got swept into the insular embrace of the Priestesses of the Quiet Sisters.” Or: Steve dies at the end. Or: a story about prophecies, love, and loopholes.

    Summary

    “Oh, well if this isn't just the biggest surprise.” 

    Eddie kept his voice as quiet as possible and let himself breathe out an almost silent laugh. 

    “King Steve fucks boys.”

    And the pressure on his throat tripled. 
     

    OR
     

    Steve Harrington fucking hates Eddie Munson. He hates the way he thinks sarcasm is a personality trait and he hates his loud mouth, but most of all he hates just how perfectly Eddie's hands feel wrapped around his jaw as he makes Steve beg.

    Summary

     

    I would say I'm sorry
    If I thought that it would change your mind
    But I know that this time
    I have said too much
    Been too unkind

    Billy gets a second chance at life that he's not quite keen on.

    He tries to make the most of it, anyway.

    Summary

    Eddie Munson isn't very good at puzzles.

    Well.

    He can make them, sure, in the form of weeks-long campaigns for his bandmates and a ragtag group of now sophomores he'd come to adore. He's great at making them. Great at making villains that his party thought they'd had figured out, beaten, only to make a quick 180 and have them come back from the dead for a final, earth-shattering fight. Yeah. He can make them.

    What Eddie Munson can't do when it comes to puzzles, is figure them the fuck out. Especially, it seems, when the puzzle comes in the form of a boy one year younger than him and slightly shorter when you don't count his mass of gorgeous hair that makes him, falsely, look taller than Eddie. This puzzle had saved the world with him, had saved him when he was sure he was a goner.

    The puzzle's name, of course, is Steve Harrington. King Steve, to many, Hawkins High's golden boy, rich and charming and apparently, a fucking badass.

    Eddie never stood a chance.
