Summary
Vecna is dead. Fried crispy, by all accounts. But that doesn't mean the Upside Down is done yet.
Steve, however, has other problems. Now that the Party made it out with everyone alive, his brain has developed the habit of reminding him that Eddie Munson exists. And that Steve might have a capital 'T' thing for him. A thing that is not capital 'P' platonic. Which he can totally handle. It's not like he'll do anything stupid, Steve knows better. Call him: Steve 'Rational' Harrington.
Maybe he should be thankful that they get a few months to figure out life again before it all goes to shit. Until he gets the phone call that drags him into the thick of it again. But maybe this is the last time. God, Steve really hopes this is the last time.
(OR: A 'what if...' Season 5, where Eddie Munson is a little worse for wear but a-okay and Steve Harrington has time to consider a few things)
(OR, OR: Summer is on the way, meaning movies, pool parties, and a few too many beers... At least until the Upside Down claws its way back, because this is Hawkins, Indiana, and stranger things will always happen)
(OR, OR, OR: The (Second) Vanishing of Will Byers)

Summary
There’s a hand, fingers cold, on his elbow – someone trying to get his attention. Usually, usually, his staff would know that just calling his name is enough, that he’s fine-tuned to the sound of it like a dog waiting for a command. But as he looks down and then to the person the chilled digits belong to, he finds Whitaker staring up at him owlishly. A shudder goes through him, senses zeroing in on the point of contact.
“Can I help you?” It comes out bitchier than he intended, caught off-guard as he is. But he doesn’t take it back, not even when the kid bites at his lower lip as if he wants to apologize.
“I just wanted to ask if you liked the chicken parm.”
aka Robby doesn't know he's being wooed by home-cooked meals and big, honest eyes.

Summary
“I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”
“If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.”
There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”
Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance.
In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

Summary
If anyone asked, Robby could easily tell the story with a lovesick smile and eyes focused only on the younger man as if he hung the moon and stars himself. A rough hand caressing his arm before intertwining their fingers.
“It was almost like fate.” He would say, awe in his tone, still surprised at how this man chose to be with him.
If anyone asked Dennis, he would look at you with furrowed eyebrows and a slowly reddening face as he’d reply, “What do you mean? Dr. Robby and I aren’t dating.”
