    Summary

    “Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.

    Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”

    “What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.

    “I—” Neil starts.

    “I mean I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”

    Neil lets a rival goalie take a body shot off him at a bar. Things devolve from there.

    Summary

    1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.

    Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.

    OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

    Summary

    “Age of Consent” by New Order blares out, loud enough for Jonathan to hear across the room.  He had been there when Steve chose it a few months ago during another war room: “‘Age of Consent’ is good, I guess.” 

    “It can’t be I guess, dingus!  It has to be enough to save you from a brutal interdimensional death!” Robin snapped.  

    Steve had rolled his eyes.  “What’s Vecna gonna want with me anyways, Rob?  I’ll do ‘Age of Consent.’” 

    Jonathan had known, that night, that it might be the wrong choice.  But he didn’t say anything because it had been years and he could be wrong and maybe some selfish, petty part of him didn’t want to give Steve the satisfaction of Jonathan still knowing.

    Something lifts Steve off of the couch.

    “It’s not working!” Robin screams.  

    And Jonathan knows why it isn’t working.  He remembers.  Whatever high school bullshit Steve has put him through doesn’t particularly matter in the face of watching him be destroyed and turned inside out.  So Jonathan, calmer than he feels, says, “It’s Hank Williams.  Do you have Hank Williams?”

    Summary

    “Do you think it’s weird that you two never, like…I don’t know. Became friends?” Robin asks.

    Steve blinks. “Me and Jonathan?

    “Yeah,” Robin says. “I mean, didn’t you guys beat up a Demogorgon with Nance that one time? It feels like that kind of experience would forge a bond, you know? Like, it would transcend all the love triangle drama, or something.”

     

    Or: when Nancy breaks things off with Steve and Jonathan and goes to college, Steve accidentally becomes friends with Jonathan.

    Just friends, though. Obviously. Anything other than that would be weird.

    Summary

    In the cave, Regulus doesn’t beg for it to stop. He begs not be left behind, alone.

    Perhaps this is why, when Kreacher gives one last look over his shoulder and sees terrible, pale hands reaching for his master, he appears in a flash at Regulus’ side, clutches him by the elbow, and Apparates them both out of the cave, directly disobeying his master’s last order.
