    Summary

    Being sent to the Rito in the dead of winter is a punishment. Link is ostensibly relieving the longtime Hylian military attaché, so this could be construed a promotion—but for the timing.

    Another birthday has come and gone, and still he has not presented. And even though everyone expects him to be appointed the Princess’s knight, one thing is for sure—the King will never select anyone but an alpha. And he certainly won’t trust his only child with someone who hasn’t even presented yet. Maybe it would be different if Link had the sword that seals the darkness, but he doesn’t.

    Summary

    She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.

    (Intimidating word count, but it’s 4 manageable arcs.)

    Summary

    Steve is incapable of not taking care of the people he cares about. And against all odds, he cares about Eddie.

    Eddie has never been taken care of. Not like that.

    Or: Eddie & Steve fall in love, before Christmas but not too fast.

    Summary

    "Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.

    "Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."

    "What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.

    "You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.

    Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"

    "No."

    Summary

    Robin challenges Eddie to prove his theory that Steve isn’t straight. She also bets Steve that his famous charm won’t work on a guy like Eddie.

    What ensues from her meddling is a battle of flirtation the likes of which Hawkins has never seen… and maybe, just maybe, a spark of something more.

    Summary

    “You think Munson did it?” Robin asked in a whisper, turning around again. It was a taboo subject, to talk about if someone really was guilty of killing a poor cheerleader. Yet, Steve found, everyone did it anyway.

    There is no such thing as the Upside Down. The curse on Hawkins is very real, and it's very human. After all, how many deaths can be attributed to bad luck when the reality is a serial killer has made their home in small-town Indiana?

    Summary

    Robin Hosts a Horror Movie Podcast with her Co-Host and show editor Steve. Their friend Dustin soon making his directorial debut in the genre fills a guest spot and talks up his screen writer, a reclusive horror buff Edgemont Munroe.

    The writer holds an air of mystery themselves- they don't do press, or book tours, but are the biggest mastermind in the horror genre of recent times.

    Robin is frothing at the mouth to get the elusive writer to be a guest on the show.

    Little do she and Steve know Edgemont is a Hawkins transplant in Chicago like the rest of them.

    Mistaken identities and new beginnings with old friendships unwind for the group along the way.

    Summary

    “I didn’t know you smoked.” Eddie looks at him tentatively.

    “Didn’t until ‘86,” Steve answers, letting the feeling of the cigarette between his fingers anchor him into reality.

    “I see a lot has changed for you in ‘86.” Steve snorts, still not returning Eddie’s fixed gaze.

    “Are you just going to ignore me for the rest of the night?”

    -

    or: It's 1991, Joyce and Hop are finally getting married. Steve owns a flower shop, Eddie's a rockstar and everyone's tired of their bullshit.

    Summary

    "The most puzzling addition to their entourage, worse than his ex-girlfriend and the guy she ditched him for, weirder than a child star fresh out of rehab with a brand-new social security number, and more frustrating than a bus-full of teen pop sensations, is Eddie Munson."

    It's the summer of 1988 and Steve is sweating his way through the boys' third (and biggest) national tour, all the while dealing with Robin's new career, Max's creative heel-turn, and also, inexplicably, Eddie Munson.
