    Summary

    “What do you mean what happened?”

    “I just…” Jonathan’s eyes flicked up past Steve at the sound of the backdoor creaking open. “Mom.”

    Steve turned to see Mrs. Byers’ in the doorway with a glass of water and a bottle of something. Probably the painkillers she’d promised. She gave him a matching look of concern and confusion, although she was quicker to conceal it.

    He started to feel hot and embarrassed with the reaction he was getting. It hadn’t been meant to slow anything down, let alone draw everyone’s eyes to his bare chest. He leaned down to grab his soaking wet shirt off the back steps, although it was really just an excuse to look down and away from everyone’s gazes.

    Mrs. Byers’ put out a hand as if to tap him on the shoulder and then drew it back like she was worried about hurting him.

    “Steve, honey, you can borrow one of Jonathan’s shirts."

    Summary

    Fate has a funny way of flipping everything on its head. It has a way of calling back to moments that felt so… nothing at the time, so utterly insignificant, yet brought a whole entire person into being.

    Steve gets a mandatory blood test following exposure to the demobats. It changes everything and nothing at all.

    Summary

    So he phones his shit in too if they’re not going to care. He spends a lot of time tracing the words carved into his desk absently, or staring out the windows now. He tries to get a seat closer to them, the windows, when he can, which is most classes except his English one. Mrs Woodcliff assigns seats alphabetically, and probably always has, far as Dustin can tell  —  there’s an SH WAS HERE!! carved into his desk in that class. He puts his notebook over that one, sits on his hands to stop reaching.

     

    One afternoon, in December, Dustin and Erica work on their character sheets.

    [podfic of so this is what the volume knob's for]
