Summary
"Plant your feet!" Billy Hargrove roars and Steve feels the crunch of his fist on his cheekbone like lightning down his entire skull.
He crumbles to the floor, a haze of pain and flashing lights and punches that won't stop raining down on him.
Max, Dustin, Lucas, and Mike — they're running away.
Billy stands before him, eyes glowing blue.
This isn't how it happens, Steve thinks firmly, blood running down his throat, and tightens his grip on the syringe that materializes in his hand.
Tell me if you've heard this one before: a ragtag group of misfits is spat out on another world in a desperate bid to save their own and rescue a bunch of kids while they're at it. They run into the big bad known for slipping into your head, like a whisper, like a nightmare, and preying into your worst memories.
What happens next will shock and upset you.

Summary
It's just — every time he walks in, a skip to his step like he's still surprised he's allowed to be here — all she can see is his new key-chain jiggling against his keys, a gift he'd shown to anyone willing to look; Tanner made it himself, Abby let him give it to me for my sobriety anniversary. No, he doesn't know that's why, he's five. Isn't it great?
And it is, she'd thought — said — absently. He fought so hard to keep his relationship to his children, to his now ex-wife, even as he went through the motions of rehab and recovery and constant HR meetings and random piss tests everyone conspicuously pretended weren't happening. He'd fought so hard, of course it's great.
Or it would be, Mel thinks, ducking away with lukewarm coffee in hand, if she didn't know the image of that key-chain like the palm of her hand.
Or, rather, like the soulmark on the back of her knee.
[or: soulmateism made literal]

Summary
It was nice that he was glad to be back. She was so glad that he was. Because she liked him, despite the rumors. She liked his - their - stupid jokes. And she knew, already, that she would take just about any orders he gave her, whether they were signed as Dr. Langdon or otherwise. She trusted him. She had only known him for fifteen hours, if you ignored the 10-month gap, and she still trusted him. She didn’t trust a lot of people.
So she took ten minutes. And when she went out onto the floor eleven minutes later, feeling pressure at the back of her head, part of her wished it was still his hand.

Summary
“What happened to your ring?” she asks gently.
He stops, looking at where the ring should be on his finger, and he tucks his hands in his lap instead. “I didn’t want to lose it,” he lies. He can feel the ring in his pocket then, as though burning him through the fabric.
“You were wearing it this morning,” she hums. There’s nothing accusatory about her tone – he isn’t sure she could be malicious if she tried – but his story falls apart in seconds.
He crosses his legs and, after thinking about it for a second, pulls the ring from his pocket.or; Mel and Frank are locked down away from everyone when Liam Sanders comes back and nearly takes Mel hostage.

Summary
“How does it feel to be back?” she asks.
Langdon lets out a laugh and leans back on his palms, looking up at the dingy ceiling. “It feels like I can finally breathe again.”
“Yeah,” Mel says, exhaling. “I can understand that.”
Or, Mel and Frank work together and fall in love along the way
