Summary
November 1984. Steve and Billy discover they are soulmates but to protect them both from Neil, Billy lies and says he doesn’t want Steve, doesn’t need a soulmate, he isn’t gay, Steve had better stay away.
July 1985. The Mind Flayer takes Billy and uses the buried soulmate connection between the boys to force Billy compliant and to distract Steve from investigating with the Party.
Tricked into thinking his soulmate finally wants him, Steve falls head over heels for (Not) Billy, but when the Sauna Test proves ‘possession’, Steve’s entire world collapses.
In the aftermath of Starcourt, Billy’s body and mind are broken, Steve’s heart and soul are fractured and each step towards healing is an uphill battle as Billy desperately tries to make amends and Steve rejects him at every turn.
There aren’t enough stitches in the world to heal the betrayal and heartbreak tearing the soulmates apart, but in the very quiet moments between doctors appointments, nightmares and breakdowns… maybe Steve and Billy can still learn how to love each other.

Summary
Thank you.’ Eddie lays his hand on the back of Steve’s exposed neck, right below his hairline. His skin is cool, it’s soothing.
Something kind of unlocks in Steve’s middle.
Like a bad bone cracking in half.
Like a rotted dam giving way to the weight of the water.
