Summary
“Yeah,” Steve says, “Yeah. Of course. Yeah,” and then he listens for a while and says, “Sure,” and then he stands up and settles the phone back in its cradle.
When he turns to look at Billy, it’s like he’s been reset. His expression is completely blank. Steve’s so still that Billy wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake him hard, make him move. The silence seems to stretch between them.
Finally, Steve presses his hands together, begins to fiddle with his wedding ring that means nothing in the eyes of god or the state and everything to the two of them.
He twists and twists and twists it.
“I have to go to Hawkins. Something is back.”
~
Or: In the spring of 1988, Steve finally told Billy the truth. In September 1989, Billy finds out exactly how real the monsters in Hawkins are. They did lose the blues in Chicago, but Hawkins pulls them back in.

Summary
"So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.
"Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.
Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.
Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."
"Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.
"Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.
Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.
***
Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)

Summary
"Do you think Grace knows all the people propositioning him are asking him to have sex with them?” She asks, insistent, and Mark chokes on his juice.
“Fucking what?” He gasps out, as Lewis comes over, drawn by the familiar sound of Mark making a fool of himself in public, and pats him long-sufferingly on the back. “They’re what?”Or,
Mark thinks Grace is willfully oblivious, Grace is laughing at Mark, the Ares crew are the world's worst enablers, and Mindy and Rocky are, as usual, sick of everyone's shit

Summary
The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.
But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.
Or: Snippets of Rocky watching Grace sleep during their mission to save their stars
