Summary
“As long-time viewers may know,” Dustin says, picking up from Mike, “‘Eddie the Damned’ is the one who inspired us to start Upside Down Ghost Hunting and make videos out of our paranormal investigation hobby. It absolutely kills us to see the end of a legendary era, and we want to wish Eddie all the best with his future endeavors.”
“Which,” Eddie says, leaning into the frame, “Are gonna be right here.”
Dustin, Lucas, and Mike finally break, unable to maintain their serious masks anymore, beaming.
Eddie grins manically at the camera. “Hope none of you freaks, geeks, and ghouls are tired of me just yet, because I’m a permanent fixture now.”
Dustin whoops from behind him.
“Now, let’s go find ourselves some ghosts.”

Summary
Steve made his choice, hiding behind his too-big Letterman jacket and later that overpriced Members Only while his friends went out of their way to make Jonathan’s life hell; or what he thought, in the ninth grade, was hell.
Hell actually came two years later, when they dragged Will’s body out of the quarry. When Lonnie came home. When his mother sat him down like he was three years old again and said, smiling tightly, I’m going to have a baby.
Benjamin, the magnificent life-fixing-grief-resolving-replacement-baby, was born nine months later.

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
Steve Harrington is undoubtedly lonely. After the kids start high school things suddenly become quiet and distant, not that it's a bad thing! It means they're safe. It doesn't mean he doesn't miss the days he'd have to haul them up to bed or he was needed, maybe he just needs to be needed again and maybe his original little duck needs him more than he'd ever be willing to admit sober.

Summary
Face blank, Alec steps forward without a moment of hesitation to stand in front of the Inquisitor, his people parting respectfully before him to clear his path as he goes. He comes to a halt a few paces in front of the Clave representative and the guardsmen she’d brought from Alicante. A coiled leather whip hangs from the belt of the man at her left shoulder.
Shoulders drawn back and hands clasped behind his waist, Alec meets Imogen Herondale’s steel gaze. The words are ritual and although Alec has said them many times before, never before has he meant them less.
“That it may please the Angel to bring back into the way of righteousness all such as have erred, I place myself before you for Discipline.”
Imogen Herondale smiles.
