Summary
“Why?”
And that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? Why is this different? What makes Eddie different?
“Is it because I’m a lesbian?” Eddie asks, blunt as always, and Stevie’s heart stops. She hasn’t told Eddie about herself yet, is the thing. Shit, Eddie doesn’t even know Robin’s a lesbian too. Jesus, the three of them could form a club. Lesbians With So Much Trauma and Also Great Hair. Based in Hawkins, Indiana. Join today and regret it for the rest of your life!
Or: it’s crazy where a pair of well-manicured hands can get you.

Summary
“I didn’t come up with the name,” Robin says, voice half muffled by the thick fabric of her khaki cargo shorts, “It’s kind of dumb, I know.”
Vickie’s hand settles on her nape, runs a path down the slope of Robin’s shoulder before she tugs, pulling her upright, “I like it,” she says, “It suits you.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah.” Vickie says. Her fingers curl around the baby hairs at the base of Robin’s skull, drawing mindless letters against her neck, patterns undeterminable. Robin doesn’t know how to breathe through the biting, sharp-toothed sensation that closes around her chest - the jaws of a strange beast pressing its canines into her heart, holding it steady. A small part of her wants to scream, to run and run and run - away from Vickie, from her smile, from her honest words and sun-warm touches; from the terrifying desire to kiss her. She thinks she understands, now, why Mr. Hauser left all those years ago. “And, well, I like listening to you talk. It’s silly, but it feels like you’re next to me, sometimes - like it’s just us.”

Or, Robin, Vickie, and time in-between.

Summary
“I called your mom, by the way,” he says. “Told her I was picking you up.”
“Are you taking me back?” Dustin asks, nervously. He didn’t really consider that calling Steve to pick him up might involve Steve dropping him off back to Hawkins. He really doesn’t want to be there right now, he feels too much, everything is too much, too big, the future looming over him feels too intimidating.
“Not yet,” Steve says, and Dustin lets out a relieved breath. “I told her we can put you up for the night and then tomorrow we can figure out what to do, yeah?”
Dustin looks at him, the kind slope of his mouth, the worried lines on his forehead. He suddenly feels bad for upending Steve’s life like this. Surely he had plans for the day, maybe work or school, something he had to do that now has been interrupted by needing to save Dustin, again, but from himself rather than from alternate dimension monsters.
“Sorry, Steve.”
or,
It's senior year, and Dustin is having a hard time coping with everything. He runs away to Indianapolis in search of the comfort only his two best friends can give him, not knowing what he'll find when he gets to the other side.

Summary
Everything's felt a little off since the Fourth of July, and no one's talking about it. Of course, one part of Steve's summer is a bit hard to ignore - he's losing his hearing. As luck would have it, a friend of Dustin's ends up playing a key role in Steve's adjustment to his new normal.
