Summary
Why did his body bring him here? What did it think he was going to do? He knows, of course. Even if he doesn't want to admit it. That if he hadn't stopped himself, he would've walked right up and knocked on their door, soaked and cold from the rain, like a pathetic stray dog on their doorstep, and begged them, please, tell me, why don’t you like me anymore?
Peter is obsessive. He's not the only one.

Peter's first kiss had been very spur of the moment. It had also been with Ned.

Summary
Ever since that day, almost two years ago, he has thought only one thing.
He should’ve gone with her.

Summary
He could go home tomorrow and pretend this never happened. Invite Lucas and Max and Dustin over, play cards at the dining table and drink eggnog. None of them even know he's here.
But he’d look at the empty seat beside him, over and over, a tongue poking at the gap where a tooth used to be. But he’d toss and turn all night, not letting her slip from his mind in the hopes that she’d at least appear in his dreams.
But his heart pounds, insistent, as he stumbles around the town, like it knows something.
Four years ago, El vanished with the Upside Down. Now, Mike's heart pulls him to Iceland, desperate to find her.

Summary
Pope can see his mother study him.
“You two boys look out for each other, don’t you?” she says, and she looks like she’s comforted by the thought. Pope, on the other hand, is not, because this feels like it could head into dangerous territory very quickly.
(or, Pope is pining, JJ is hurt, and they're both kind of stupid). -

Summary
“And what about you?”
“I don’t know,” Pope said. But he did. He breathed in. Out. Held JJ’s gaze – which felt both like it was pinning him in place and too scared to touch him all at once. And his voice was softer when he spoke again. “I want to go to college, man.”John B is alive and in the Bahamas. The pogues figure out where they want to be.

Summary
The sympathy in Bev’s voice is also written all over her face. She parts her lips, trying to find the right words, one eye slightly pinched. And even worse than the pity is the fucking knowing. This overwhelming sense that she has some idea of what’s going on right now. And Richie absolutely hates it because he, himself, does not.
Like, he just fucking threw up and he has no idea why.
(Eddie dates someone. Richie is sure his sudden bout of sickness is unrelated).

Summary
The one where Peter and Michelle are the dumb youth the media always warned you about, and get engaged while in college.

Summary
Now, Scott claps his hands together, remembering why Peter had burst through his door. “Girl advice,” he says. And then he’s grinning, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “That’s right. 'Course you'd come to me for that. Because you know I must have done something right to...you know...” He nods at a picture frame sat on a shelf near Peter, of Scott and Hope together, and then keeps nodding, looking proud of himself. “I don’t know what I did exactly, but it must’ve been right.”
Or, Peter is, like, really in love with MJ, and goes to Scott for advice.

Summary
"Right." Eddie's not sure what to think. "Well, thanks, for sticking up for me." Eddie's also not sure if he means that, but it feels like something he should say.
"Yeah, 'course," Richie replies. "You're my sister's best friend."

Summary
"We could leave this place, Eddie," Richie says. "God, imagine that? Not having to live in this trash dump anymore. We could go wherever we wanted. A different place every night."

Summary
On Monday, Flash catches Michelle's gaze in the hall and Michelle catches his, turns it into something dark and scathing, and throws it back. The incline of his eyebrow is asking, have you sorted Peter's shit out yet? Michelle doesn't even bother schooling into her features into an expression that could read as an answer. He's not worth her time.
And, plus, the answer is no.
She's given up all her recent opportunities to question Peter. She doesn't want to interrogate him about his life. She doesn't want him to think she cares.
Because she doesn't. Not really. The thought of caring, of being actively involved in someone else's life seems messy. Complicated. Especially if that someone is Peter Parker.
This is why she sticks to observing people quietly from the sidelines.
(Peter has been acting weird and Michelle tries not to care).
(And fails).

Summary
To think of Spider-Man is to think of crime fighting, life saving, justice serving. To think of Spider-Man is to think of web slinging, wall climbing, avenging. To think of Spider-Man, really, is to think of the farthest thing from ordinary.
But here he is. Red-and-blue wonder, buying groceries at the store.
(Michelle gets sick and Peter helps out). -

Peter gets hurt, Michelle patches him up; nail painting and poetry are also involved.

Summary
He leaves the news channel on long enough for her to comment, "Must be fun, swinging from buildings like that. Well, either fun or completely terrifying."
"Yeah," Peter says. And then, because he's an idiot, adds, "He's cool."
Michelle shifts, kicks her feet up onto the coffee table. "Hm. I'm more into The Winter Soldier type. Dark, mysterious, dangerous. That's cool"
Peter is about to reply through a steadily deepening frown - The Winter Soldier??? Cooler than Spider-Man??? Really??? - but when Michelle had shifted on the couch, she had somehow ended up with her shoulder bumping his, their arms almost pressed together, and for some reason the warmth of her body so close is really distracting. So he doesn't say anything.
(Peter is a dumb teenage boy who just wants Michelle to think he's cool).
