   Summary

   4 months after the Gate is closed the team struggles to return to normal, one day at a time-- especially Steve.

   Steve is lost and confused. What else is new? Maybe it's the loss of Nancy, and making their awkward way back to friendship again. Maybe it's how he somehow acquired four children that have imprinted on him like goddamn ducklings. Maybe it's fucking college, or his lack of parents, or the Upside Down that can't fucking STAY DOWN. It's definitely Billy Hargrove, though. And Steve can't tell if he's helping him or hurting him.

   Whatever it is, it only gets worse when Steve starts waking up with injuries from demodogs no one can see and everyone gets roped back into saving his ass and banishing the Upside Down for good.
