Summary
In 1953, the Red Scare is in full effect, sweeping Hollywood like wildfire as the American government persecutes and prosecutes suspected cultural threats to the assumed norm. A congressional summons to Washington can ruin a life, let alone a career. Yelena Belova, a talented up-and-coming actress, needs to hide her Russian roots if she wants to make it big and avoid suspicion. Robert Reynolds, beloved leading man of multiple successful films, needs to hide his true self from the media if he wants to continue his career without his name showing up on a summons letter.
And Valentina DeFontaine, manager and agent to half of Universal's top-billed stars?
Well. She's got a plan that just might work.

Summary
Three months after New York was swallowed by a nightmarish blanket of psychological agony, Robert Reynolds was once again just Bob.
And Just Bob liked boring French New Wave and Depeche Mode and pictures of baby Highland cows. He stacked fries in his burgers like Jenga towers. He liked Jane Kenyon, Allen Ginsberg. Made a mean Lasagna alla Bolognese. Played guitar (kind of). Knew how to jumpstart a car (pretty well, actually). He liked chess.
He’d spent most of his life high, bridging sober gaps with odd jobs and side hustles and jail. He’d stolen from everyone who cared enough to let him into their home.
Robert Reynolds wasn’t Sentry, he wasn’t the Void—but he had been.
Wasn't it only a matter of time before he would be again?
After the Void descended on New York, Yelena adjusts to the life her sister led—dealing with PR managers, government endorsements, and a team she’s only recently learned to tolerate.
And then there’s the Bob thing.
And the Bob thing is super fucking complicated.- Language:

Summary
“The love he feels for Yelena is so big and startling. He is certain life is worth living because he can feel like this about her. And he doesn’t need her to feel the same way, he just notices how nice it is to love her. He’s on therapy session 23. He wonders when he’ll stop counting.“

Everyone claps. Bob claps, too, while Ava rolls her eyes. But as people start getting up, Bucky limps to the podium, and Mel knows what’s going to happen before it does. “Before we go, I, uh. Want to make something clear.”
“Oh no,” Mel groans.

Summary
Sometimes on good days, when his dad wasn’t screaming and shouting at everything that moved, he’d put Bob in the truck and drive out on the 72 and go fishing with him in the evening. Flashlights in the dark, streaking dim across expanses of black water, muggy air, mosquitoes. Little red eyes looking back out of the water. They’d sit and guess how big the gators were from the distance between the eyes. You’d better watch yourself out here, Bobby, his dad would say sometimes, and pretend to start to push him forward over the boardwalk with a big hand splayed on his back. And he’d laugh and laugh, like it was funny.
Bob had never thought it was funny. But he’d learned early on to laugh along.
~~~~~~~
When Bob tries out a new solution for his wellbeing, he's advised by Barnes to keep to a schedule and avoid any variables. But this means pulling away from the New Avengers (and Yelena) for a while, and even though the results are fantastic, all that pent-up need for connection and affection has to go somewhere when the adjustment period is over.

Summary
For Bucky Barnes, choosing to run his term out and join the New Avengers was an easy choice to make.
For Melissa Gold, choosing to put de Fontaine behind her and ally herself with the new team was also an easy choice to make.
But the world they both live in now exists in shades of gray. And many other decisions aren't that simple.

Summary
Silence fell. Alexei lifted his hands up. “Well, what are we waiting for?” he shouted, gesturing at everything: the monitor showing the falling engine in real time, the countdown, the communications from the teams, the images of terror-stricken refugees filing into a temporary neighborhood in New Asgard, in Manitoba, in Ohio and Wakanda and China. Someone had set a fire in protest outside the United Nations. Smoke rose, obscuring the flags. “NOAA said this morning that all of the Eastern Seaboard needs to be evacuated. American refugees are flooding into Canada. Too many tensions, huh? Going to cause a war if we don’t do something. So what are we waiting for?”
“A vote.” Bucky’s voice was sour and quiet as he shoved off from the wall and walked over. “We’re a team. We act like one. So we’ll vote on it.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When a falling hunk of space junk threatens the fate of the planet, the New Avengers (and Bob) must make a choice: risk the Void, or save the world? But the Void has plans of his own, and Yelena is always nearby...

Summary
“Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.
“What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”
Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”
Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.

Summary
He may have died, but there would never be another Chrissy Cunningham looking down on him from the ceiling of his uncle’s trailer. And, as he closed his eyes for the last time, he was not haunted by her eyeless sockets and silently screaming jaw, as he had been every time he blinked since the day he watched her die.
Instead, all he saw was her bright smile and the way her eyes glimmered in the afternoon sun that day in the woods.
And then––
He woke up.or
Eddie Munson dies in the Upside Down. He wakes up in bed.

Summary
He came to you in your dreams, pulling the darkness like a shroud behind him.
The Executioner, the same as in the painting, yet utterly different. Real.
Before him you trembled, but his wrath was not directed to you. His was the righteous weapon of God’s will, and he held it pointed outward.

Summary
"Another character trait of Eddie’s that is perhaps hyperbolized for safety purposes is the fact that she isn’t that nice of a girl. Which she thinks isn’t personally her responsibility. Or any girls’, really. But the social need for any pleasantness really drops when you’re a dyke and don’t need to constantly woo, soothe, and kowtow to men.
Chrissy Cunningham seems to forget this about Eddie often."
