Summary
“I’m Steve’s friend,” Billy said, pulling out into the road. “I’m Billy.”
“I’ve never met you,” Erica said, scowling.
“Yeah well, we don’t travel in the same social circles.” Billy wanted a cigarette.
“You look like a criminal,” Erica said. -

Summary
Panic tastes like metal.
It's thick and suffocating.
It lives in Steve’s mouth, his lungs, his memories—cold Russian steel, demo-bats, red lightning and hands that had beaten him relentlessly. The nightmare don’t stay in the past. This trauma follows him, making him wake into breathless fear and a body that forgets how to breath.
But safety smells like Billy.
Who's carries the heat of the California sun and who holds him with steady hands through the worst of it. And coaxes air back into his lung with patience and quiet praise, all while Eddie sleeps beside them, heavily medicated, bandaged, healing, and breathing.
And when the morning comes, the proof of their warmth and love will always chase away the cold of the Upside Down and the fear of its darkness taking those he cares about with it.
——
(Also Billy calling Steve every pet name he can.)

Summary
“Where’d you hear it,” Harrington says, finally.
Eddie gestures up. Around in a circle. Then just watches his hand travel in the air, distracted by his own rings. “Thanks man, yeah, that helps so much,” Harrington says, meanly, when the pause stretches on. “Great fucking talking to you.”
“Does it matter where?”
“Kind of why I asked,” Harrington says.
Eddie pushes himself upright.
“Your—young squire,” he says. “Has a lot of—biology homework. Of late.”
“Fuck,” Harrington says.
