Summary
The day he faced a monster at the Byers' house, that should have been the end of it. That's how stories are supposed to go, right?
It's October 1984, and Demogorgons are still coming to Hawkins from the Upside Down, opening gates around Hawkins Lab. Every night, Steve patrols the woods, hoping to stop them before they kill anyone else.
Hawkins has had a hard year.
When the new guy that's been giving him shit in gym class is attacked by a Demogorgon, Steve saves his life. Now if only he would stop turning up in dangerous places in various states of injury... Because Demogorgons are attracted to blood.

Summary
Billy’s a tactile guy. He lies down with his head on Steve’s lap sometimes, and Steve loses track of his textbook watching the shadows cast by his eyelashes, but, like, they’ve been doing that since freshman year. And Billy always has a hand on Steve’s back when they’re in line at the dining hall, or when they’re out for drinks, because Steve has a tendency to wander off if he gets distracted. Billy always leans on Steve to catch himself when he trips, with a hand on his bicep or his chest, but it’s not like it’s Billy’s fault he trips a lot for a guy who’s otherwise well coordinated.
Steve doesn’t mind that Billy touches him so much, of course not. They’ve been friends for years at this point, and it’s honestly the strongest friendship Steve’s ever had.
It’s just that, if Billy starts dating Heather and she sees him hanging all over Steve, she might get the wrong idea, and it could make things awkward.
(Billy is pining, Steve is oblivious, and Heather doesn't want anything to do with this. Steve and Billy touch each other all the time, because that's what friends do.)

Summary
Daryl was leaving. It was senseless to stay. If he had ever had a reason to think about settling down, that reason was gone now, along with all his hopes and dreams. They didn’t need him here – Rick didn’t need him here. He had Michonne.
She was by his side now. She had his back and protected him against any possible danger out there. She had Carl’s love and confidence and took care of Judith. She was the person Rick asked for advice and to whom he turned when he needed company and someone to listen. She was everything Daryl used to be to Rick – and more.
After all of this time, Daryl had been replaced and rendered redundant. Slowly, silently, without a word, without a reason Rick had chosen to turn away from him and rely on her instead. Why stay another day?
There was nothing … no one for him here any longer.Bookmarked by thissortofsorcery

Or the one where Daryl's got some lessons to learn and the prison feels inclined to teach him.

Summary
Rick was bone tired.
He was heading to his cell without showering tonight, even if the opportunity would have been perfect. Nowadays, the showers were rarely empty, and he would be sure to find them lacking of curious people at this hour of the night. That was why he was so surprised when he approached his cell quietly to see that he wasn't going to be alone in the small space.
Daryl was standing there, back to him, and seemed completely unaware of his presence for the time being. His shoulders where hunched a little and Rick noticed that he was holding something; or rather someone.
