Summary
She tastes the same as she did a few months ago, when she’d been home for spring break. She tastes the same as she had over Christmas, beneath the hot chocolate and cinnamon that lingered sweet on her lips.
She tastes the same as she had at the end of last summer, when they’d fallen together into this confusing, temporary break from sanity. Drunk and seeking an escape from the inevitabilities beating at their front doors: her, her imminent departure for college, and him, what it meant to be the person left behind when everyone else has moved on.

Summary
Leaving Hawkins with a promise to stay connected and reunite soon, the group heads to Philadelphia, the midpoint between their four cities. With no looming danger threatening to pull them apart, they begin to see that even as life shifts, some things stay comfortingly the same.

Summary
“Uh, Nance?”
His anxious voice brings her back to reality. This isn’t a proposal to do… anything. Just a trip. With some of the kids.
“That’s… very sweet, Steve,” she starts, and winces because it already sounds like a negative to her own ears. “Won’t, uh, Jennifer mind?”
“Jessica,” he corrects quickly. “And, hum, I don’t think so. We broke it off like three months ago, actually.”
*******
Or: the one where Steve invites Nancy on a summer trip with three nuggets and they try (and fail) to pretend they don’t still have feelings for each other.

Summary
“Fighter, this is Bard. Do you copy? Over.”
“Fighter here. I copy. Over.”
No names or locations or specifics here.
“Alright, Fighter, what’s this about? Over.”
Steve sighs. This is stupid.
******
Or: the one where strange things start happening in Hawkins three years after the Upside Down was destroyed and Steve and the teens just need to make sure it isn’t all happening again.
Spoiler alert: nothing is as it seems.
I just couldn’t get the idea of Steve staying in Hawkins as a watcher in case shit goes down again out of my head. So here we are. Because when you get used to shit coming back again and again and again, what else are you supposed to expect?

Summary
After all, the only option, when the love of your life has turned you down once, twice, and in absentia, is to let her go.
