    Summary

    ”The story of the Evil Emperor Geta and the Great Gladiator Stephanos.” That sentence leaves a bitter taste in Eddie's mouth, that he ignores to continue reading: “... One of the strongest tales of betrayal disguised as love. Or love disguised as betrayal, could be? Whaddya think, king?”

    Or: Steve and Eddie do not recall, but they've met way before the 80s and Vecna, way back in ancient Rome, in a past life.

    Summary

    Robin knows no matter how much she wants it to be, that this isn't a dream.

    She knows that even nightmares can't be like this.

    Here, she can smell the tang of dampness and rot, she can feel nothing but the persistent chill that never seems to go away and the dull pain in her body, the numbness of her hands.

    So she knows this is all actually real... and she refuses to admit it.

    Stuck in a paradox. Unwilling to deny that this is happening, but unwilling to accept that it is. Regardless, there is one thing she knows for certain.

    She knows that no one is coming.

    That elevator ride had been a one way trip.

    Summary

    It is 1986 in Hawkins, Indiana. Will Byers is coughing up blood. Steve Harrington wakes to nightmares each night. When Mike Wheeler annoys Nancy Wheeler, she throws pillows at his head with her mind. Dustin Henderson has performed at least one ritual by then. Jane Hopper is not human.

    Sometimes, Robin Buckley has to clean blood from her carpet.

    It is 1986 in Hawkins, Indiana, and a witch moves in to town.

    These things are all intrinsically related.

    Summary

    Steve wants to say he gets it, but he doesn’t think that’s the gentlest way to start this. I get it, Kid. He only fed me eggs. I couldn’t look at them for months. At least he was fed at all. He doesn’t know a thing about what Will survived, just the bits and pieces that float around town like the rumors that usually concern the exponentially more menial. Someone’s grandma died. Some senior turned up pregnant.

    Steve inhales, sharply. Thinks about who he was before and after Denver. Thinks about who everyone expected him to be. His mouth opens before he can consider if he wants to stop it. “You know, my name’s not really Steve.”

    OR

    Two zombie-boys talk some things out in a Hawkins diner.

    Summary

    The phone rang.

     

    Steve shot up, walking toward it, his nerves lit up in memory-old anticipation and dread.

    ***

    Steve Harrington has tried to push the past down, away, to lock it up.

    But he knows better than anyone that you can't keep anything hidden in the dark for long, and skeletons never remain buried.

    When a kid in town goes missing, it awakens his old ghosts, and Steve finds himself trying to balance his past and present selves as he joins in on the search effort.
