Summary
________________________________________________________
The entire Byers family are the best people he's ever met. Joyce is so warm and kind, yet so strong. Will is kind, he has a calmness and quiet snark to him that's easy to overlook but hard to forget. And Jonathan is just chill, he observes and comes to his own conclusions that are usually so correct that it's freaky, but he's still open to changes to his opinions.
And well, there are freaky things happening around them, he still remembers that night in November. There's also the Police Chief hanging around them along with a weird, unusually dumb but knowledgeable girl who seems to know exactly what you're thinking.
Of course if you hang around them, you're forced to hang with the kiddie squad and their mother hen. And said mother hen's ex.
It was fucking crazy, but what else could he do?
It was better than the cold house he called home.

Summary
No, there's got to be an innocent explanation. She struggles to come up with one, but it must exist. Karen is her friend. Sort of. They went to school together. They've known each other their whole lives. Back when they were teenagers Karen had a bit of a reputation, sure, she was a ditz with lofty romantic notions and a string of boyfriends willing to play along, but she's settled since she got married, and she isn't a predator.
"He was going to. A mo-tel," Jane sounds out the syllables carefully, a child repeating an unfamiliar word.
Joyce's heart drops.

Summary
There’s a migraine inducing crash as a plate slams against Harrington’s head. He stumbles- they both do. Billy grins, licking the blood from his mouth. Then Harrington’s up and rushing and suddenly they’re tumbling sideways. Billy’s got one hand around the other boy’s shoulders, the other desperately grasping at the counter and then the refrigerator next to them. His lower back takes the brunt of the fall, Harrington’s weight knocking the wind out of him.
Then there’s cold- both from the fridge door opening and the cool air seeping out and across the linoleum, and from Harrington’s frenzied scramble off of Billy and towards it.
There’s a wet slopping sound, then several more of them as Billy realizes Harrington is forcefully shoving whatever the fuck plopped out of the fridge back in its place.
______
A fic in which Billy finds out and Steve attempts to make a new friend.Billy tries and Steve obsesses.
