Summary
"Shit," he says. Small trembles clings to Eddie's fingers, lingering there, ever-shaking, as if the earthquake that tore through Hawkins continues on through him. "How do you do it, man?" his voice shakes.
"I slept with the nailed bat and the light in my bedroom and hallway on for months, before I was able to get through a night without reaching for a weapon at least once," he says. "When I was finally able to sleep without the bat by my bedside, I kept it in the trunk of my car. I literally couldn't go anywhere without it," he says everything in a steady voice, but his expression is haunted. "I still can't sleep with the light off, and I jump when the electricity blips and the lights flicker."Turning his head, Steve looks at Eddie and meets his eyes. A small smile quirks crookedly from his lips. "What I mean to say is, I don't."
In the days after their battle against Vecna, Eddie slowly comes to terms with everything that's happened and finds a deeper bond with Hawkins resident monster hunters than he ever expected to find. And maybe, just maybe, he can find his way back to shore.

Summary
After Vecna is dead and gone for good, Steve has trouble sleeping at night. Instead of lying in bed and waiting for the nightmares to find him again, he goes to the one place that was once a source of pain.
Or, Steve has nightmares and finds that the piano is just as good at chasing the shadows away, as music ever was in freeing their minds from Vecna himself.

Summary
She wore a red dress. It was not the frayed one she had died in. This one draped across her shoulders and down her body like a waterfall. The fabric was silky and smooth, rippling like waves of water as her chest rose and fell with her every breath.
"This place was beautiful once," Nimueh said, her voice curling softly in the air, softer yet than Merlin had ever heard it. "You would not know this, of course. It was before your time," sadness entered her voice and tinged her words heavy. "I think you would have found it quite spectacular."Two dreams (that are not dreams) Merlin has on the Isle of the Blessed and the two conversations he has with two very different people, who should be dead and on the other side of the Veil, beyond the reaches of mortal men and the words they might have to say. Impossible, yet, Merlin have always been more than a simple man and a simple warlock, and with a power such as the one of life and death, who knows what truly is and is not possible.

Summary
Steve has amnesia after a "house fire" when he was ten. All he knows is what his parents have told him. He doesn't realize that the kids don't know about it, and has some explaining to do.
About a month later, they're doing some digging and Steve discovers that he's been lied to--he was actually one of the numbers, discarded with a wiped memory after the experiment failed. Obviously he freaks out.
They go through the process of getting his powers back, and learn why his experiment was deemed a "failure" in the first place.

Summary
Nowhere in their brilliant plan did they ever think Vecna would get tired of waiting for Max to turn off her music… fortunately, they always were better at winging it than following a well thought out strategy.

Summary
Maybe Robin doesn’t suck with children. Maybe she has something to offer that Steve doesn’t, like cunning wit or general knowledge of the world or—
Max is looking at the display again. She’s staring at the blonde bikini babe with a fixed fascination, an innocent but intentional gaze.
Or an ability to detect her own species.

Summary
The first time Robin noticed it, Steve was helping a customer at Family Video.
He was in the middle of a sentence, i the middle of a transaction behind the register when his eyes drifted up towards the ceiling and his voice trailed off. His jaw shifted around and he chewed on his tongue.
It was like he was completely vacant.
It lasted a few seconds, and he snapped back in, finishing his sentence and continuing the transaction like nothing happened.-
Steve's been having seizures.
