Summary
‘I’m sorry’ will never be in Billy’s vocabulary. They are just two dirty words that liars and cowards use. But he knows what it means to be sorry.
Billy picks up a butterfly bandage, holds it between his fingers for Steve to see. Waits for Steve to drop his chin in a nod, and then presses it into place against Steve’s busted eyebrow. It’s the best Billy has to give.
This probably isn’t going to work out. This thing Billy’s been trying to have with Steve since he got to Hawkins. Steve’s got these soft edges where Billy’s all blunt and sharp.
Billy drags his fingertips down the side of Steve’s face, presses his thumb against the scar he didn’t leave, and lifts a brow. “How many fights do you lose, Harrington?”
Steve grins, a half-formed thing that is sharp and sad at the same time. “All of them.”

Summary
‘We’re good together,’ Harrington says to the darkness above. Not a question. Matter of fact. He turns to Billy, a smile sweet enough to make Billy want to do something reckless. Something stupid. ‘I’m telling you, heartbreaker. We’re gonna be unstoppable.’
Billy wants to ask. If he means tomorrow. If he means just for the game.
Wants to ask if he means forever.
He’s never wanted anyone to mean forever before.
or; falling (in love), the hard way

Summary
"Something is still in Hawkins, he thinks, lurking down the sides of houses, between the trees, in the undergrowth. Something dark and festering. And he is the only person in the world who knows that it’s there."
A year and a half after the battle of Starcourt, Billy Hargrove is back in Hawkins for the holidays. United by loneliness, he and Steve form an uneasy alliance, which slowly begins to blossom into more during Billy’s subsequent holiday visits. But whilst Billy seems to have moved on from his encounter with the Upside Down, Steve remains rattled, convinced that the apparent peace Hawkins seems to be experiencing is merely the calm before the storm. Something, he knows, is not right, and the danger may be closer to home than even he had expected.

Summary
How do you tell a dog from an SAS sergeant?
Soap's been trying to think of a punchline, but so far, all he's got is a dog’s gotta shit in the woods and bury it slightly more often than an SAS Sergeant.

Summary
Simon "Ghost" Riley was torture for Soap. Beautiful, sharp-jawed, devastatingly handsome-and completely uninterested.
Soap knew that. He really did. So when a break rolls around and his favorite band comes to town, running into an ex seems like the perfect distraction. A way to get Simon Riley out of his head for good.
What he doesn’t realize?
The devil on his shoulder is never far behind.
or
“Then don’t waste it on someone trying to mark you like a prize,” Simon said, his voice a growl now, teeth scraping along the shell of Soap’s ear. “Let me show you the difference between getting touched and being wanted.”
Soap let out a low, broken sound, already half gone.
