Summary
They care, Steve repeats to himself. They care. People care about him. It’s not ideal, but it’s something. He can work with it. Nobody’s ever been voted Prom King after they had a breakdown in the parking lot during study hall.
-
Robin hates boys. This guy’s voice sounds just as annoying as her crying does, though, so at least it isn’t just her being victimized by the bathroom tiles.
-
Steve and Robin have always had something in common. It just took them a while to figure it out.

Summary
“So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”
Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

watch out now, take care, beware of the thoughts that linger, winding up inside your head, the hopelessness around you, in the dead of night
Beware of sadness; It can hit you, it can hurt you, make you sore and what is more, that is not what you are here for

It's a Long Night When You Do It On Your Own by lunar_years

Summary
The apartment they share together is extremely small, the rent exorbitantly high, and the walls paper thin. Nancy listens half-heartedly as Jonathan answers the phone. “Hello? Oh, hey bud. Look, I’m a little busy right now—” Will. Nancy applauds Jonathan’s effort, but she also recognizes a lost cause when she hears one. Her five-minute warning is all but meaningless; Jonathan will talk to his brother all night if Will needs him to. She half considers picking up the remote and fighting with their horrible, secondhand television to try and flip to a decent channel, but then Jonathan’s voice grows suddenly sharper. “Whoa—what?! Slow down."
// After Jonathan gets a concerning phone call, he and Nancy take an unexpected trip back to Hawkins to pick up the pieces.

Summary
It’s a normal, regular house. No Christmas lights or crazy tunnel-maps of town or holes through the front drywall. On the surface, it’s the nicest place he’s ever lived, but it’s all a façade. They’re just playacting different lives here, trying on being different people. These people, the Californian versions of themselves who live in this big house in a sunny main suburb, have never heard of a place called the Upside Down, have never had to hunt down monsters with no faces and capture them in bear traps. Here they’re just Joyce and Jonathan and Will and Jane. The Byers. Only weird in all the usual ways.
But Jonathan can see the other side of it.
(Or, you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another).

Summary
Jonathan likes New York, mostly because it couldn’t be less like Hawkins. But living across the country does mean that when he finds himself alone and injured, he’ll finally have to learn to accept help—from the most unexpected source.
“Jonathan?” the woman asks, stepping towards him like he’s a frightened animal. “Jonathan Byers?”
He nods, wary, and she must believe him because she quickly closes the distance between them and kneels close, holding out a rag and examining his cut.
“I’m Diane. Your dad—Hopper called me.”

Summary
“It’s a school dance, Hop. That is not the same thing and you know it.” Joyce folds her arms in front of her and reminds herself to be patient. She can do this. “Don’t you remember prom?”
“I wore a suit and spent most of the night outside smoking. How does that help here?”
Well. So much for patience.
(Alternatively: El needs a dress, Hopper needs a cigarette, and Joyce needs a hug.)

Summary
Of the things Ellie could choose to spend her time on as a teenager who has finally recovered enough from playing labrat to be awake for longer than an hour at a time, he supposes there are worse things she could pick.
It doesn’t make the idea of a frog hotel less weird, though.
“And what is the point of this again?” He asks as Ellie carefully rearranges spare bits of pipe she asked him to bring home from his current jobsite for the sake of this project of hers. They’re on arrangement twenty-three by this point, and he’s not entirely sure that these “hotel guests” of hers are going to care about the aesthetic of their accommodation as much as Ellie clearly thinks they will.
Still, it's the most enthusiastic he’s seen her about anything in weeks, so if playing frog preference architect makes her happy, he’ll do his time shifting pipes around at her instruction.
He’s done far worse for her, after all.
(on frog hotels and breaking generational trauma)
