    Summary

    When Jonathan first hears about the faggot with the death wish, it’s a blustery Tuesday morning in late November. There's no way Indianapolis' up-and-coming gay boxer "Paul Cox" is anyone he knows. He takes the story.

    Steve Harrington is more than happy to pose for a Chicago gay mag for a few hundred dollars. He just wants out of Indianapolis.

    It's December of 1991, and no one has dealt with anything.

    Summary

    “It’s Jonathan Byers,” Eddie continues. “I don’t get it! You, Wheeler—What’s the appeal with this guy? What’s the allure? No offence, Byers.”

    “None taken,” Jonathan says, unfazed.

    “I mean, it’s like being attracted to a piece of paper,” Eddie says.

    Jonathan frowns. “Some taken.”

    Eddie can't wrap his head around Steve dating Jonathan. Jeff is an involuntary witness to, apparently, every single discussion about it.

    Summary

    After breaking up with his long-time partner, Steve Harrington moves in with his best friend, Robin. While he's thrilled to be there, he needs to get back on his feet. Robin has been working at a catalog-- modeling to put herself through college. She gets him a job, hoping he can do this until he gets his ducks in a row. While initially hesitant, Steve is surprised to find that he's good at this-- like really good at it. There's just one catch... he can't fucking stand the photographer. The guy is a total asshole. He's standoffish and rude, and definitely doesn't like Steve much either. Too bad Robin seems to like him and keeps inviting him out with them.

    Summary

    Sometimes Steve remembers that living in a town with a pretty obvious cult just outside it isn’t actually normal. But everyone in Hawkins has sort of gotten used to it.

    Steve doesn’t think about it all that much. It’s a part of life in Hawkins, and high school’s a bitch, and Steve’s busy juggling his relationship with Nancy Wheeler (and the nagging suspicion it’s all falling apart), and the tightness in his chest when spending time with her these days almost always means spending time with her fellow Hawkins Post intern Jonathan, and keeping his grades up enough to graduate this year and keep his father placated, and the weird tension with Tommy and Carol lately, and also how he’s somehow babysitting almost a half dozen kids nowadays, whose newest obsession is ghost hunting and have been bullying Steve into taking them to every abandoned house in Hawkins.

    A prequel to Warm These Bones, but can be read as a standalone
