    Summary

    Will Byers was a quiet person. His throat cracked when he spoke, the words were formless, and he learned over time that perhaps it was the only way to stay safe.

    Or

    Will's journey has been incredible, especially considering he's been unable to speak due to his trauma with Lonnie. How lucky he is to have found such wonderful friends.

    Summary

    It’s Christmas Eve, and Dennis is in the foulest mood anyone could ever be in.

    Only internally though. Outwardly, he’s acting completely normally because it isn’t anyone else’s fault that he’ll be spending the next day all alone.

    He’s writing up his notes, silently praying for someone to come in with an emergency that takes up so much time that he naturally continues his shift into the next day. It’s probably not good to pray on a tragedy, but Dennis is far past the point of sterling morality this week.

    He imagines it will come back to bite him.

    Summary

    Steve pulled into the driveway and honked his horn, then sat back to wait. It usually took the kid a few minutes to come out no matter how he let him know that he was ready.

    He was not expecting Dustin to immediately come through the door and stop right at his window. Dustin wasn’t quite dressed- he looked like he still had pajama pants on, and he definitely wasn’t wearing any shoes. His hair was more wild than usual, too. Steve gave it a second, but Dustin just stood there and stared at him. With much trepidation, Steve rolled down his window.

    “Mom wants you to come inside,” Dustin told him immediately.

    ~

    AKA: Five times the Party’s actual parents stopped Steve to talk, and one time he started the conversation himself.

    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.
