    Summary

    The hand removed itself from his forehead. “Temperature is normal,” Gale announced, before using its fingers to gather some stray drool that had trailed down Astarion’s jaw. Before Astarion could register the pitiful jolt of arousal at the sudden skin contact or the sheer absurdity of what Gale was doing, Gale had stuck its fingers in its mouth.

    “What the —”

    “No new bacteria detected,” Gale went on, “Ruling out food poisoning.”

    “Oh, Gods,” Astarion groaned. “And to think that these things are what’s sending our workforce into a tizzy. What next, 'droid? Are you about to give me a rectal examination too?”

    “There is no need for one at the moment,” Gale said, confused. “Unless you are seeking prostate stimulation—”

    “No!”

    Amidst the softly thrumming melancholy of a dystopian, cyber-punk city, former corporate-rat Astarion Ancunín, who has long since lost the will to live, finds himself in possession of a G-413 or "Gale" - an amnesiac android who, strangely enough, enjoys living.

    Summary

    On Friday, November 26th, 1976, Steve's brother died.

    He doesn't remember much about the day itself. It was cold and foggy, he thinks, but so is every day in November in Hawkins. He was in school, and then he wasn't. He was in the car, and then he wasn't. He was at home, and then he was in the car again, and then he was at Grandma's house watching TV on her soft pink carpet.

    Summary

    Together, they turned to stare at Harrington, who had hunched further into himself now that Eddie was gone from the table.

    “If he turns on us I’m blaming you.” Gareth grumbled finally, and tried not to let the smile that broke out on Eddie’s face effect him.

    “Glad to hear you’re on board, Garebear.” Eddie said, patting his shoulder hard.

    AKA the entirety of Hellfire, prompted by one Eddie, “herder of misfits, freaks and geeks” decide to expand their circle to adopt a jock instead.

    Summary

    November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.

    / or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.
