    Summary

    It’s been one month since the events at the Starcourt Mall. Billy’s still adjusting to having a seemingly-permanent Mind Flayer inside his head, not to mention navigating this still-new relationship he finds himself in with Steve, and the sudden overabundance of fourteen year olds in his life. But ultimately things aren’t so bad. Maybe he could be happy like this.

    If only he could figure out where exactly he fits into this weird family group he finds himself rapidly becoming a part of.

    Or: Billy slowly learns that yes, a family can be two dads, their six adopted kids, a cool aunt, his new mom and dad, and the inter-dimensional Mind Flayer in his head.

    Summary

    Season 3 spoilers!

    The mind flayer enters Billy Hargrove, but instead of breaking people down to make his own body, he decides Billy’s suits him just fine. Billy, surprising even himself, finds he doesn’t entirely hate that; there are certain benefits to sharing a body with some kind of trans-dimensional monster, and maybe, maybe, some of them wear stupid sailor outfits.

    The whole thing might not be so bad after all, except Billy’s mind flayer isn’t the only one.

    Summary

    “There anything I can do for you, man?” he asked, and Billy could see slow recognition fill Steve's eyes, the second he put Billy’s face together with the man who stood in front of him, taller and possibly broader than he was as a teenager, with hair cut short and shoulders squared. But Billy’s grin was the same. His leather jacket was the same. When Billy ran his tongue over his teeth, stared Steve down, he felt some of that fire he had felt then, wasn’t sure if he liked it.

    “No,” Steve said.

    “What?” Billy asked. “I haven’t even said anything yet.”

    “Exactly,” Steve said, snapping the laptop shut. If Billy looked closely, he could make out a scar creeping out of Harrington’s hairline, the exact kind of scar a kitchen plate would leave.

    “Isn’t this a tattoo shop?” Billy waved his hand around. “Don’t you take walk-ins?”

    Summary

    After failing his fifth year twice, Eddie is ready to buckle down and have just one, relatively normal year at Hawkins’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

    But then famous professional Quidditch player, Durmstrang golden-boy Steve Harrington just has to enter the Triwizard Tournament.

    (And Eddie can’t be one-upped by him and his flouncy hair—no way. Not when Dustin’s respect is on the line.)

    But maybe he’ll finally prove to Gryffindor House that he belongs there after all.

    Summary

    Alastor doesn't know how to ask for what he wants. The solution, it seems, is to orchestrate things such that what he wants doesn't matter at all.
