Summary
steve harrington's parents come home and he sends robin away.
-
“Robs.” Steve sighed, hand wiping harshly at the few tears that had slipped. “Just, please cover for me.” He hated asking that of her. Asking her to lie for him. Robin hated that she’d do it.
That she’d lie and cover and bend over backwards to keep Steve’s home life a secret if that was what he wanted. Even if it made her skin crawl because they’d be getting away with it.
“We can both go out of the window- they won’t even know we were here.” She tried anyway, knowing it was a lost cause when Steve ran his hands through his hair and pulled a little too much. Her hands flailed as she climbed off the bed and moved into Steve’s space, always disregarding personal boundaries. “We can both go to work and then hide out at mine- or we can screw Keith and just go home. Okay? They’ll never look for you there because why would you be hiding at a band geek’s, right? And all we do is just wait them out and it’ll be fine- you'll be fine and safe-”
Steve looked like he wanted to cry the more she talked.

Summary
“I need to tell you something,” she says, sounding as if she’d rehearsed that one sentence the whole way here.
Steve almost slams the door in her fucking face. They haven’t spoken since that night when Eleven returned. It was pretty much a given that their relationship was no more.
“Come in,” he says.

Summary
“The Witcher believes you’re under a spell,” Yennefer said, conversationally, drawing a sip from her tea.
“I most certainly am,” said Jaskier to her in a warm drawl that Geralt recognized as the tone of voice he slipped into when flirting and frankly, things needed to start making more sense and fast before he gave into his impulse to do something rash and wholly unhelpful. Namely, chuck himself out the cottage window and into the sea.
--
Or Geralt seeks out Yennefer only to find her, of all unbelievable and ridiculous things, shacking up with his bard.

Summary
For a moment he’s tempted to spill - to tell Hopper that tonight he dreamt about those fucking tunnels, and that the Demodogs that ran past him in reality barelled straight into him in his dreams, and they leapt on to Dustin first and tore into his guts whilst the kids screamed and wailed above him whilst another Demodog charged headlong towards him—
“I’m fine, Chief,” Steve says. In the reflection of the window, he can see Hopper has finally taken off his hat. “You know I’m fine, really.”
Hawkins, Indiana. It's 1985, and it's been four months since they saved the world. But it wasn't enough... closing the Gate wasn't enough. Something's breaching through. Something is fighting to be let loose, and Hawkins - or, more specifically, Steve Harrington - is in some deep shit.
As if he wasn't in enough already.
Basically: How Steve becomes a member of the Party, and how he learns to forgive himself.

Summary
The words "Steve Harrington is sooo strong" had always made Robin Buckley roll her eyes. After all, what did it matter if some stupid jock just so happened to use his muscles a bit more than other people? But when her life comes crashing down inside a secret underground Russian elevator, Robin finds a new appreciation for the strengths of Steve Harrington... at least until she has a startling realization about her best friend and his fleeting mortality as the Party patches up his demo-bat bites.
Post-Season 4, Episode 7: The Massacre At Hawkins Lab, but before volume 2.

Summary
Thanks to a deal struck between her and Hop, El may have the chance to spend the summer outside of the cabin with her friends. The deal? El needs to survive until the summer, with no stupid rule-breaking. And in an attempt to keep her entertained until then, she’ll also be getting two babysitters to keep her company in the cabin.
Nancy is familiar territory, but Steve is someone all but unknown to El. But he’s nice, and very interesting to observe, El can’t help but decide.
[Post-season 2, pre-season 3]

Summary
There’s only Dustin, Mike, and Lucas left now. It will be difficult to recruit new members under the Hellfire banner when the name itself is taboo to utter, forever associated with the murders – and with Eddie, too, though that’s something Dustin will not give up.
There will be no rebranding. The Hellfire Club is Eddie’s legacy, and Dustin will fight to keep it so.
Or: the Hellfire legacy.

Summary
Inside the cage, two men were pounding each other with their fists. There was blood on the floor, both new and old, and the smell of sweat permeated the room.
“Not your usual scene, uh Princess?”
(Or Billy and Steve go to an underground cage fight).

Summary
Ok, so he's no Will Byers, but Steve thinks he can pretty definitively say at this point that he's got shit luck. Sure, he was born with a silver spoon and whatever, and he was loved by the smartest, strongest, bravest girl in the world (however briefly), and he's got a gaggle of preteens who look at him like he's Clark Kent and sometimes act like he's transformed into Superman, but still. Shit luck.
It happens on a Wednesday. His third day back at school since Billy kicked his shit in so badly that Chief Hopper was willing to leave his adopted super-child at the Byers' for three hours to drive him to the ER.

After the bard disappears, Geralt is forced to confront his feelings for Jaskier: namely, what the bard means to him and how he has not done a good job of showing Jaskier that. Will he be able to mend what was broken?

Summary
They’ve all changed since the mountain, Geralt more than most, but he’s known Jaskier since he was a teenager and there’s been more change in him this last year than the nineteen previous.
Whatever happened, whatever is happening still, Geralt needs to know. For Ciri and his brothers, but for Jaskier too. A year is a long time for a human, and if he’s in some kind of trouble, it’s Geralt’s job to get him out of it.
Call it instinct. Call it paranoia. But he’s paying attention now, and Jaskier won’t be able to keep his secrets for long.

Summary
“I’m merely pointing out a fact, Jaskier, that you may not understand the matter of the heart as well as you believe.”
“Wow.” Jaskier licks the honey off his thumb. “I won’t take offense because you’re you, but let it be noted that I always know. Always! If someone is pursuing me, it will be so obvious the words might as well be written across their forehead.”
“Is it though? I reckon someone could be doing it right in your face and you wouldn’t recognize it.”
Or,
Jaskier teaches Geralt the art of courting. It’s all about paying attention to details, really, except he may be missing a few details himself.
