    Summary

    “It’s some young guy,” she said. “Or, like, not super young. Our age, I think. Maybe a little older? From out of town. Or he is now, but used to be from here.”

    “What? Who is?”

    “That bought the Radioshack. Turning it into a bookstore? Some guy,” Robin continued. “That’s why Vickie even knows. They were trying to keep it all hush-hush because he didn’t want to buy it without, like, zoning permissions so he could do a full scale remodel to turn it into a bookstore. Otherwise he didn’t see a point, or so Vickie said Mrs Wheeler said.”

    Or: Steve owns a movie theater, and a bookstore moves in across the street.

    Summary

    “'I’m in love with you,' Eddie says, so casual, like it isn’t 3PM on a Tuesday in the middle of a Family Video in Bumfuck, Indiana. Like they’re somewhere else, like he’s someone else. Like it’s nothing extraordinary."

    Or:

    Five times Eddie tells Steve he loves him, and one time Steve lets himself say it back.

    Summary

    So when Hop asks, when Murray asks, when Owens asks, when the doctors ask, when the specialist asks, he says: fall of ‘84, Billy Hargrove, in the Byers’ living room, with the dinner plate. He says: that’s when the static started in both ears, worse in the left than the right, but both weren’t great. He says: some mornings I woke up and it was like I heard everything like I was under water, but it would get better as the day wore on. He says: yeah, sometimes I got headaches too, and that made the static more. He says: after Starcourt, but just before, it did get worse, yeah. He says: I’d been practicing lip reading for a while, because I think some part of me always knew. He says: it was just gone, after that: no static, nothing blurry, just silence with the occasional whine when Hop got that whistle right.

    Steve Harrington, and life after death.

    Summary

    He’s upright, at least. Leaned up against something, head tipped back and sort of sitting, with his hands bound, and he almost wants to laugh, on account of how much it reminds him of that first November, handcuffed in the bowels of Hawkins National Lab and that white haired son of a bitch framed in the doorway. Jim squeezes his eyes shut, shakes his head a bit, and opens them again, looking straight ahead then, and would you look at that, he thinks. This is the worst day.

    Across from him, Steve Harrington sits flanked by two Soviet soldiers, beefy mother fuckers too, and he looks exactly as terrible as when they went beneath Starcourt and Jim only had time to think, Kid, what the fuck, I’m putting your ass in a bubble after this, so not that much time has passed, he thinks, he hopes. He’s handcuffed too, hands in his lap, and he smirks at Jim, all teenaged boy bravado that he can see through in a heartbeat.

    “Hey, Chief,” says Harrington.

    Hopper, Steve, and the art of survival.

    Summary

    The Hawkins Public Pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 8AM to 8PM, seven days a week. It employs three lifeguards, two of whom work each day: one from 8 to 2, and one from 2 to 8.

    Objectively, Eddie knows that it’s weird for him to know this. Why should a guy who Does Not Swim concern himself with the work roster of a public pool he Does Not Swim at?

    Or: Lifeguard Steve and Eddie meet up at the pool after hours.
