    Summary

    Ever since he was six years old and ducked into the cupboard beneath the sink to avoid his father’s fury, Will Byers has known he’s good at hiding. Mom and Jonathan used to hate it, used to fuss and worry. Over the years, Will has only gotten better, crafted the skill into something of an art.

    He hid when his dad screamed and broke things. He hid the truth when bullies at school slung terrifyingly accurate, harsh words. He hid when the Demogorgon stalked him through the Upside Down for a week.

    Will Byers is good at hiding. It’s what’s kept him alive this long.

    (or the one where vecna is dead and will is trying to enjoy the normalcy of growing up, while also wrestling some important, decidedly not-normal discoveries. and his relationship with mike. there’s that, too.)

    Summary

    Lucas is the man of the group, he knows this. He's got to be the man, like Steve, and wear polos and khakis and come between evil and the weak and be a lady killer and a charming, funny, sweet guy. Like Steve who has started hanging out with Eddie Munson and getting piercings and wearing eyeliner and not being the man Lucas thought he was.

    “Steve is that an earring?” says Dustin, at one of his highest pitches, slap bang in the middle of one of Eddie’s tirades.

    Everyone pauses. Number one, you never interrupt Eddie, especially not during D&D. Number two, what? (Lucas has strong suspicions he can’t let Max ever find out about this, or she’s going to break-up with him and become a full-time Steve admirer.)

    They all lean forwards.

    Steve shifts slightly uncomfortably, but he looks amused. “Yeah.” He shrugs. And there it is, a single tiny silver hoop in his left ear. Lucas stares, amazed.

    “You’re a guy,” says Lucas, without thinking about it.

    Steve only laughs. “I am aware, Lucas, thank you.”

    There’s a long lapse of silence, and then – 

    “Can you come up here?” 

    In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

    Summary

    “So,” Mom says one weekend afternoon as she and Robin stare down the Sunday Times crossword, huddled together on the porch swing, “you and Steve Harrington sure have been living in each other’s pockets lately.” She puts down the pen and gives Robin a carefully-probing smile disguised as a teasing one. “Anything you wanna tell me?”

    Yeah; I’m gay, Robin thinks. Her throat constricts painfully. “I—you’d know if I were dating someone,” she says instead.

    [Or: Robin, through the ages.]
