"You any idea where-"
"Goddammit, why are you asking me?!" Billy yelled. Tommy's eyes widened and Carol, loyally on his arm, gasped.
"I dunno man," Tommy said, shrugging his shoulders. "Thought you'd know."
"Why the Hell does everyone think I know here Harrington is?!" Billy snapped.What starts off as a weird coincidence turns into the biggest annoyance of Billy's high school career when he becomes the 'go to' man for Steve Harrington's whereabouts.
[[Sort of a Billy character study really but with a healthy spoonful of fluff]]

Summary
“What?” Billy sits up, blearily rubbing his eyes with the fingers of one hand.
“Downstairs.” Steve grips Billy’s bicep. “I heard something.”
Sure enough, the sound of glass smashing on the hardwood floors downstairs makes them both freeze.
Billy waits a moment before reacting. “Where’s your baseball bat?”
“Under the bed.”
Billy scrambles out of bed and pulls on his underwear. “Stay here, ok?” He fumbles under the bed and retrieves the bat with the nails, giving it a practise swing.
“I’m not letting you go alone,” Steve snorts, pulling a t-shirt over his head (Billy’s t-shirt, he realises as he smells the cigarette smoke). He’s fought monsters more terrifying than any intruder they could come across and there’s no way in hell he’s letting Billy go without backup.
“Stay behind me, Princess,” is all Billy says in reply; a whispered compromise.

Summary
“Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”
He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”
That’s the first thing Wayne notices.

Summary
Every date Steve has gone to lately has been horrible. It’s impossible that there’s something wrong with the entire female population of Hawkins, so surely there must be something wrong with him.
“Why don’t you take me on a date then?”
“Wh— what?”
“Take me on a date, pretend, of course, and then I’ll tell you if there’s something wrong with you or not.”
Or: Eddie proposes a crazy idea to see if there's something wrong with him, Steve finds the fact that it works is even crazier.

Summary
One night in November of 1983, a boy goes missing from Hawkins, Indiana.
He is just a body, a thick cuff locked around his ankle, chained with iron to a bolt on the hardwood floor. He is just a body, locked inside of a bedroom with an empty closet, a bed, a nightstand, and a cage. He doesn’t look at the cage if he can help it. He looks outside. He is just a body, staring out at a backyard he’s never been allowed to enter, where the grass is starting to brown from the heat of the sun. All he can see is dusty grass and tall trees, and a little shed at what must mark the edge of the property.
Only there is a body. Another body. A real human body—only, that can’t be right. Steve hasn’t seen anyone in … he doesn’t know how long it’s been, since the blonde man took him here. The blonde man doesn’t want him to see anyone, to be seen by anyone. All he wants is for Steve to be his, and to turn Steve into a body.
The other body is in the yard, moving on clever legs with slow graceful steps. His head swivels from side to side quickly as if he is looking for something. It makes his long curls sweep across his shoulders.

Summary
‘So,’ Tommy says around a mouthful of fries, ‘what the fuck is the deal with you and Hargrove?’
And that’s really the goddamn question, isn’t it?
He wants to know Billy. Wants to know why he is the way he is. Wants to be able to figure out what the fuck he’s thinking when he looks at Steve like that, when he touches him like it doesn’t mean shit and like it means everything all at once. Wants to know why he talks so much shit, why he needs to fight, where all that fire comes from. Why he’s so volatile, why he’s such an asshole, how he can be so fucking mean and so fucking sweet in the span of seconds, at the same time, even.

Summary
“No, it’s not that I’ve had nothing to draw, it's just…” John trailed off, tearing his eyes away from his computer and scowling at his recycling bin across the room, filled to the brim with crumpled papers, abandoned ideas. “I don’t know. Maybe I’m trying to find a beauty that doesn’t exist.”
—After almost thirty years of art being a massive part of his life, John is stumped with the longest bout of art block he's ever experienced. Worried that the lack of motivation may begin to really fuck him over, his friends suggest that he approaches art from a new angle and tries a new style.
So his first attempts at realism prove to be almost uncomfortable. However, when John’s best friend, Smitty, jokes that he should be John's muse for his next attempt, John ends up tumbling down a rabbit hole of realizations, and finds a new beauty he didn't think was even possible in his art, (or his heart).
