Summary
It was 2023 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Steve Harrington didn't know what he was doing with his life. Home from college with a barely passing GPA, recently dumped, and drunkenly careening down a dark country road to the tune of his own misery, Steve was aware that he might be depressed. Therapy would've been the sane solution. But before he could turn around and make that choice, a glowing red hole cracked open in the middle of the road, and he was sent flying through time and space.
It was also 1985 in boring Hawkins, Indiana, and Eddie Munson had a five step plan on how to fix his life. First, graduate high school. Second, provide a kickass D&D campaign for the nosy little freshman that joined Hellfire. And finally, write more music and go on tour with his band. Okay, three step plan. Absolutely nothing about his plan-in-progress included stumbling across the hottest man he'd ever seen stranded on the side of the road. Or the glowing red portal to hell parked next to him.

Summary
After Markus obtains equal rights for all Androids, Cyberlife is pressured to release all the prototype androids deemed unready for public use before the Revolution. In a diplomatic effort, Cyberlife offers all prototypes a chance of a paid job in the sector they were intended to work in or otherwise, in order to not waste the money gone into programming their specific skillsets. Among them is Connor, an RK Prototype, who is offered a training period at the Detroit Police Department under the condition that he reports his progress via email to the man assigned to be his mentor. A man that Connor has never met, who will never reply, and who will remain anonymous for the duration of his training; bar the pseudonym "Lt. H."
A man that, having only ever seen his shadow in a hallway, Connor affectionally names after the Pholcidae spider, more commonly known as Daddy Long Legs.Lieutenant Hank Anderson just wanted to get Fowler off his ass and deal with this mentoring crap as quickly and easily as possible. Instead, he has to deal with an android calling him "Daddy" in every email he sends. It's not what he wanted or expected, but it somehow ends well.

Summary
"I'm just saying. You haven't shut up about wanting to fuck a stranger since you left Myra,” Bev says. “He's a stranger who is down to fuck. What are you twiddling your thumbs for?"
Eddie sighs. He chews on a bit of soggy bell pepper and considers it. Finally he says, "I just worry it'll be bad."
Bev laughs. "Sex with strangers often is."
"Oh, great! That's just what I wanted to hear!"
"C'mon, Eddie," she says. "What's the worst that could happen?"
OR:
Eddie and Richie try to have a one-night stand and get snowed in together.

Summary
"She risked her relationship," Richard says, finally looking up at Jared. "I risked our deal. I risked the company and it was bad?!" His voice has gone a little high pitched. It makes Jared want to touch him: a reassuring hand on his knee, a fist tight in the curl of his hair.
Richard goes almost-quiet, head in his hands again, mumbling incoherently.
"I could help you," Jared says finally, slowly. "If you'd like."

Summary
When it comes to doing the deed, Richie thinks they should take it slow, but Eddie thinks twenty-seven years is slow enough, thank you.
“Richie.” Eddie says slowly, as if he’s talking to the most stupid person on the planet, which is y’know, fair. “Richie, I’m nearly forty. I’ve been married for a pretty huge chunk of that. Do you…Do you think I’m a virgin?”
“I don’t think that.” Richie says quickly but he doesn’t really sound convincing, even to himself.

Summary
The Losers reunite to spend New Years in a cabin up in the Rockies. Richie attempts to bird watch and Eddie is bad at making gingerbread houses but surprisingly okay at skiing. But even far away from Derry, the past is a tricky thing to outrun.
"They really are in the middle of nowhere. He can’t see any signs of human life in the mountainside below, not even another cabin. They could be the last people on earth, just the five on them inside by the fireplace and Eddie out here in the snow and rather than being disturbing the thought is weirdly calming. He wouldn’t mind it really, if the apocalypse had happened somehow; just as long as they were all together. "

Summary
After three years of screwing around with Eddie behind everyone’s backs, Richie decides to put a stop to the with-benefits part of their friendship. It’s the smart thing to do, the logical thing to do and has NOTHING to do with the Eddie nearly dying in a car crash at work.
Three months later, he gets blackmailed by a scuzzy L.A gossip hound and everything gets fucked up all over again.
“And it had all been great, easy breezy and what the kids called no-strings-attached except for that one string, the huge tangled string of Richie being desperately in love, the same string that had eventually wrapped around his neck and was half choking him to death by the time he called it off.
Because Richie had been the one to call it off in the end. So, this is all his fault really, and if his heart is a little bit broken then hey, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. “Bookmarked by DesertStill

Summary
Deacon mentally ticked off the life events that warranted 'congratulations' from random acquaintances and the bad feeling got worse. "Let me see that note."
MacCready glanced down at his hand as if surprised to see it there. "Sure, here," he said, handing it back. "Want some light?" He stretched and put on the little lamp on the table next to the bed. Part of Deacon was getting very distracted at having a warm, sleepy-smelling MacCready that was nearly naked pressed so close to him.
But even that was secondary to what was written on the paper. Well, crap. He didn't realize that he'd said it aloud until MacCready looked over at him, eyebrows raised. "What? It can't be that bad, the guard didn't kick us out?"
He handed it over silently and watched him read it. In Blue's neat writing: RJ MacCready will be occupying Home Plate for an unspecified period of time with my blessing, accompanied by his husband, for his honeymoon. Please extend the same courtesy to him that you would to me, blah, blah.

Summary
The memory of the compound washes over him. He remembers bullets raining over him, the smell of blood, the feeling of choking Todd to death, of finally being freed from that compound by Mr. White - and then, screaming down the road away, it turns black. And now he’s here.
Like the snake eating its own tail, the story of Jesse Pinkman and Walter White never seems to end itself. Post-Felina, the two find themselves returning to the fateful days just prior to their initial meeting two years ago, and struggle to find their footing after everything that happened has simply been washed away.
