Summary
It is March 1986, eight months since Starcourt. Nancy has buried herself in her work to avoid acknowledging her fading friendship with Jonathan and Robin is hopelessly in love with a girl from band who she can barely build up the courage to talk to. One cannot let go of the past and the other fears an uncertain future.
When students (literally) start dropping dead, they find themselves brought together, still practically strangers. Their personalities clash, Nancy being so serious and Robin being so... Robin, irritation and confusion defining their first moments, but from that tension a spark is born. As the days drag on and they bounce around from Hawkins to Pennhurst to the Upside-Down, they come to find that they relieve the weight of each other's burdens, or maybe they make them heavier; in times like these, another person loved can just as easily be another person lost. Maybe it's best that they keep it all in, for each other's sake and their own.
But the Upside-Down does not wait for teen romance to sort itself out. There is still a killer to catch, a killer who can reach across the dimensional veil and slaughter troubled youths with his mind, and the kids in Hawkins are all on their own this time.

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

Summary
Robin snapped her fingers in front of his face, causing him to startle violently.
"Steve, are you even listening to me?" she asked, her expression twisted in clear annoyance.
Steve sighed, turning in his seat so he could get a better look at her mouth. Honestly, he was trying to drive. Couldn't she wait to talk until they got to work?
Or: Steve Harrington has lost the majority of his hearing. He just forgot to tell people about it.
