Summary
But that’s why he avoided it for such an impractically long time, isn’t it?
His feet were lodged to the algid dirt, and a rebellious tear slid forcing its way down his cheek. It was followed by another, and another, until there was no use in wiping them away because this anguish wasn’t going to just cease to exist like so many other things in his life.

Summary
“She doesn’t even know him the way I do,” Romilda said, growing in confidence with each word she spoke. “The way he always runs his hand through his hair when he’s nervous, or how he always has second helpings when there’s treacle tart for dinner. I bet she hasn’t even taken the time to notice the important things. She’s always liked him for his fame.”
“I give them two weeks,” said Petra dismissively.
“I doubt they’ll even make it official, she’ll probably just want him for a hook up,” Leta suggested dryly.
“Really, Romilda,” Genevieve said, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. “This is a good thing. It gives him more time to realize what he really wants, what you’ve got.”
Romilda pulled herself up and threw her long, shiny dark hair over her shoulder, feeling already much better about the whole situation. “He’ll realize it sooner rather than later, I reckon.”Romilda Vane reckons with Harry & Ginny's relationship after The Kiss (TM). Canon compliant, HBP, Romilda Vane POV on Harry & Ginny's relationship.

Summary
"Yeah, Harrington," he heard Hopper say. "Anytime. It's not easy to be a bruiser in this fight."
I'm not a bruiser, Steve thought to himself. I'm a goddamn kamikaze.
He rattled out some mindless reply, one that not even he was able to repeat. Then he slowly loaded the rest of the boxes into his Beamer and drove down to the high school, tailing behind Hopper. When they lulled to a pause at a stop sign, Steve pressed his forehead to the steering wheel, took a breath, and fought back the urge to drive his car off the quarry cliff.
He didn't know when the switch had happened. When I'd be willing to die for them turned into I'm going to die for them turned into I need to die for them. Once it had happened, however it had come to be, he hadn't been able to shake the pledge. It'd been cemented into his mind. He supposed that was why they called suicide a commitment.
or, unable to lose anyone else, Steve writes a list, ranking his friends by how quickly he'd sacrifice himself for them. 5 times someone finds the list but doesn't realize what it is + 1 time they understand it perfectly.

why lucas doesn't cry (and why he does) by some_pomegranate_tea

Summary
Lucas hasn’t cried since that night.
He’s not even sure if he cried that night. It’s just a terrified haze when he looks back on it now. All he remembers is the way the blood rolled down Max’s cheeks like tears. Sometimes it’s all he can see when he looks at her.
There’s no room for him to cry. Not with the weekly crawls. Not with the daily necessity to keep Dustin from getting himself killed. Not with Max lying lifeless in a hospital bed.
~~~
Lucas's refusal to feel pre-Season 5 and the quiet conversation with Steve that helps change that.
