    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    "Jon, this isn't—you know you're awake right now, right?"
    Jon laughs, low and mirthless.
    "No, I'm not."
    You—you are, though. This is real, this isn't a dream." Martin gives a small, nervous laugh. "I—I know it feels a bit like one, after everything, but—"
    "Yes, it is," Jon says, with absolute certainty. "This is a dream. It has to be."
    "Why?"
    Jon looks at Martin then, with such sadness and longing in his eyes that Martin can barely stand to hold his gaze. "I wouldn't be here with you otherwise."

    --

    Martin knows that they can't stay here at Upton, that being disconnected from the Eye is affecting Jon. But one more night, he thinks--just one more night can't hurt.

    He's wrong.

    Summary

    Dustin Henderson is, if nothing else, a firm believer in the scientific method. As a bug collector since age 4, an aspiring computer scientist since 5th grade, a member of Hawkins A/V since 6th grade, a science camp attendee since 7th grade, and a boy with a lifelong passion for science, he recognizes its principles: careful observation, study, and peer review.

    So when strange things begin to happen in Hawkins, that fall outside the usual nature of strange things that happen in Hawkins, he returns to his roots to find the answers. After all, the scientific method applies to social science, too. And if any observation ever needed careful dissection, it was this one.

    ~~~

    Or: Dustin Henderson applies the scientific method to figure out why two of his best friends have been acting so strangely.
