Summary
What no one understood was that it ate at her. The mystery, the connections, the clues--it wound its way into her mind and took root until she could think of nothing else.

Summary
She sat on their bed with the box in her lap, just staring at the contents. Some pictures, a sweatshirt, ticket stubs. Memorabilia from a lost love. From a lost life.
It broke her heart.

Summary
Los Angeles Shatterdome, 2020. Emily Thorne is the only Jaeger pilot to have lost two co-pilots in action. Nolan Ross wrote the code on the Mark 3 Jaegers and what he doesn't know about them isn't worth knowing. Together, they fight monsters. Or they would do, if they could just get past Emily's trust issues.

Summary
Whitaker tenses up, an inevitable reaction to the ortho shark. Park's got a pack of cigs in one hand, though he drops them to his side in favour of frowning. His eyebrows have always been impressive but even moreso when they're furrowed. Whitaker isn't sure what he's done wrong.
Does he want to be alone? He thinks, helpless, before sniffing and folding his arms. I was here first.
Or: Whitaker and Park at the end of a shift.

Summary
Tashi disliked Patrick’s text, just because it made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. “I told him that yes, I do think he should bring more than three pairs of underwear for a week long trip, and that we are here.”
Art was quiet for a few seconds. And then, voice low – “surely he owns more than three pairs of underwear.”
Tashi rolled her eyes. It was a characteristic and yet unfounded worry. “We’ve seen him in more than three different pairs of underwear.”
“I would really like to stop thinking about Patrick’s underwear, actually.” Art’s uneasy fingers found the steering wheel again. Tashi’s kept tapping against her phone. What a pair, they were. Tashi couldn’t wait to add Patrick’s leg bounce into the equation and then spend three days straight trapped in a car with them all echoing off of one another.

Summary
Nancy stirs her cappuccino. “I just thought—well, it’s been a year since…everything. And since we’re all in New York anyway, I just thought it might be nice to…I don’t know, do something normal together. For once.”
She has the look on her face she always gets when she’s dead-set on something, but beneath that is something imploring—like she truly wants the rest of them to be dead-set on this, too. It's the very expression that has made it impossible for Steve to say no to her all these years, and without meaning to, Steve glances at Jonathan.
He isn’t surprised to find the same recognition he feels reflected on Jonathan’s face, too. But alongside that expression is something resembling what Steve’s pretty sure is...acceptance. As though, just like Steve, Jonathan already knows he’s going to cave.
Or: Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, Robin, and Argyle’s Secret Santa in December 1988.

“Not into the whole superhero thing, then?” Steve asks Nancy.
“Of course she isn’t,” Jonathan mutters. “Nancy cares about real journalism.”
Steve raises his eyebrows. “And Spider-Man isn’t?”
“A man in tights swinging from webs?” Jonathan deadpans. “Definitely not, no.”
In which: Jonathan is the unfortunate Daily Bugle intern tasked with taking pictures of New York's new favorite superhero, Steve struggles with the trials and tribulations of maintaining a secret identity, and Nancy is just trying to do some actual goddamn investigative journalism for once.
Or, an au where Steve is Spider-Man.

Summary
Ever since Steve can remember, Joyce Byers has cut her sons’ hair herself. Which means that since they were kids, both Jonathan and Will have sported nearly identical-looking bangs and a bowl cut, brunette and a little dweeby-looking.
Jonathan’s new haircut, however, is decidedly not dweeby-looking.
Or: Jonathan comes back from California with a new haircut, and Steve is decidedly Not Being Weird about it.

Summary
Nancy glances at Jonathan, then says to Steve, “I’m sorry, let me get this straight: you want to bring both of us home to your parents?”
“Yeah,” Steve says. “I mean. Why not?”
“Does that mean – ” Jonathan starts, then pauses. “Does that mean you want the three of us to…pretend to date each other?”
“We don’t have to,” Steve says far too quickly. “I mean, obviously we don’t have to. C’mon, that would be…”
He had been going to say “weird,” but at the last second, he stops. Not because it would be the wrong thing to say – though he knows it would be – but because for a bizarre moment, Steve finds himself worried that if he did say it, Nancy and Jonathan would agree with him.

Summary
“You can stay in our guesthouse,” Tashi says finally.
Patrick stares. “Your guesthouse?”
“Yes. Temporarily, yes.”
“Why do you have a guesthouse?”
“Because my parents use it when they visit, and because we’re rich as fuck, Patrick.”
“But — ” He doesn’t want to ask. But he’s kind of a glutton for punishment, and besides, he needs to know. “Is Art going to be okay with that?”
For a long moment, Tashi’s narrowed gaze flickers across Patrick’s face. Then she lets out a disbelieving snort and shakes her head. “I’ll send you the address.”
And before Patrick can protest, she turns and walks away from him.

Summary
Their trek to Hawkins Lab starts alright. But after about ten minutes of a—frankly suspicious—lack of Demogorgon sightings, Steve starts not-so-subtly suggesting they pick up the pace, which Jonathan, evidently, takes as a personal attack, so the next thing Nancy knows, the two of them are trying so hard to outpace each other that they end up yards ahead of her and Dustin.
"How do you even put up with them?" Dustin asks, watching Steve and Jonathan from afar with a wrinkled nose.
"Practice," Nancy mutters.
Or: two conversations between Nancy and Dustin and Jonathan and Steve in the Upside Down.

Summary
“Oh, what now?” Dustin snaps, and Steve can just hear the eye-roll. He pointedly does not see it, because if he looks at the kid’s face with its fucking split lip and black eye, he’s just going to get pissed all over again, and that hasn’t exactly been helping with anything so far.
Steve grits his teeth, continues to stare at the ground as they walk, pretending it’s to make sure he doesn’t trip. “Nothing, we’re good.”
“Right,” Dustin says, so dryly that Steve wonders if he’ll ever hear any other tone besides that and anger from him. “We’re so good you won’t even look at me.”
Something snaps in Steve’s gut, that red-hot rage that’s been sitting there since Dustin showed up hours ago looking like a punching bag. “Oh, I’m surprised you care,” he said. “You’ve made it pretty clear you don’t give a shit about what I have to say.”
