    Summary

    “No one remembers being that little.” Dad said once, when Ollie was smaller and younger, four years old and staring teary eyed at her photo albums, not a single baby picture to be found.

    “What’s stopping us from remembering whatever we want?” Dad had grinned, like he did when he was telling Pops about an idea he had for his next story.

    Summary

    Steve has already devoured a family sized bag of sour cream and onion chips when it occurs to him to go check the calendar.

    “Ah, shit.” He mumbles around the finger he’s sucking clean. There’s so many calls he’s gonna have to make and emails he’ll have to send, things he’s gonna have to move around and all together miss out on.

    “What’s up, buttercup?” Eddie asks, wandering into the kitchen, pencil stuck at the top of his pony tail and red ink smeared on the side of his hand.

    “I’m early.” Steve grumbles, not bothering to sound anything other than dejected, stabbing an accusatory finger at the calendar. “I’m gonna miss Erica’s volleyball game.”

    [Or: it would be a hundred times easier for everyone if Steve's heat was just about the sex.]

    Summary

    “You need to go.” Steve says, pushing Eddie away with a bloody hand. It’s not much of a shove, leaves a bloody handprint on the grey fabric of Eddie’s t-shirt.

    “You keep saying that, Ozzy and I’m gonna start thinking you don’t want me around."

    [Or: Steve gets hurt on a supply run. Eddie tries, and fails, and tries again to keep things together.]

    Summary

    There’s almost an entire decade between Steve and the kid sitting on his parents’ couch. It’s weird because Steve doesn’t really feel old most days.

    He’s grown up, sure, moved out of his parents' house and left Hawkins and pays rent and utilities and, like, votes. He has a job and he gets coffee with Robin and shares a bed with Eddie and they go grocery shopping on Sundays.

    And not a day goes by when Steve doesn’t feel like he has no idea what the hell he’s doing.

    But right now he’s staring at the baby-faced kid he used to be, hair styled back and big, neat polo shirt and Levi’s, a sharply defensive glint in his eyes. He’s Steve but Steve hasn’t been that guy in a long time.

    [Or: Sometimes the real demogorgan is the friends you make along the way.]

    Summary

    The ring feels inappropriately light considering what it’s supposed to mean. 

    What it will mean if Steve lets Eddie put it on his finger. If he wears it. Steve and Robin never really wear their rings. Robin doesn’t really do gold and Steve doesn’t wear jewelry. Maybe Steve doesn’t want a ring at all.

    “You don’t have to wear it.” Eddie says quickly, words leap frogging out of his mouth, “I mean. If you don’t want to—”

    Steve gets a little furrow between his eye brows, “Dude, you didn’t even let me answer.” 

    Eddie snaps his mouth shut. Right. An answer. That’s usually how questions work. 

    [Or: Eddie, for maybe the first time in his life, wants to follow social conventions.]
