Summary
”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.
He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”
In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.
Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.

Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

Summary
Steve was still adjusting. Definitely not quite back to normal – probably wouldn’t ever be normal again, if he were honest with himself – but he was on his way to something normal adjacent, and that had to count for something.
OR:
As Steve navigates the complicated twists and turns and backslides of recovery, he slowly learns what it's like to have people he can rely on. It's a novel concept.

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.
