Summary
Klaus, Allison, and Diego just wanted to get some ice cream on a hot summer day. Was that too much to ask? Of course Diego's car had to break down, and of course he was too stubborn to let the gang call a tow truck. They end up pushing it to the nearest repair shop they could find. They meet mechanic Dave Katz, AKA the most beautiful man they've ever seen. With the three Hargreeves shamelessly pining after him, there's a race to win his heart. But Dave seems to only have eyes for one...

Summary
Diego’s life was in shambles. He had been booted from the police academy, dumped by his girlfriend and kicked out of their (her) apartment. As he sneaks into his childhood home to try to get his life back on track, he overhears a dangerous secret. Can he get Luther out of the house before it’s too late?
Luther doesn’t trust Diego. Diego had never cared for him before and has no reason to now. But after a few too many coincidences, he starts thinking over Diego’s warning. Could Diego be telling the truth? Why would Dad be trying to hurt him? What is Luther supposed to do?
A story of love, discovery, and learning what it means to be a family.

Summary
When Steve woke up in 1983 after dying in 1986, he had a few goals. Make Nancy Wheeler fall in love with him. Get into college. Save his friends. Save the world. Etc.
All this should have been easy, since he’s lived it before… right? Wrong.
Now, in spring 1984, Nancy Wheeler is very much not in love with him; Steve has been anxiously awaiting an admission decision from Indiana University; Tommy and Barb have been dead for months; and Jonathan Byers has started having bad, bad dreams.
Steve is just as confused as ever. (In more ways than one, thanks to Eddie Munson and whatever it is that they’ve got going on.)
(Sequel to Retry 1983)

Summary
When Steve Harrington began his gradual burning decent from Hawkins High royalty, Eddie thought he would relish the glow from afar. But as the King hurtles ever closer to his fiery demise, Eddie is granted five small windows into the strange world Steve has found himself in, and desperately tries to swallow the awful feeling of empathy clawing its way up his throat. Because Steve Harrington - as much as he loathes to admit it - is changing. For one, he's developed a strange interest in Dungeons and Dragons lore.
Five times Steve Harrington lets the Upside Down slip, and the one time Eddie Munson realises Steve knows nothing about D&D.
