Summary
Steve loves it. He loves watching the band, the way they catch each other’s eyes and smile, all of them moving to the same rhythm–the one they’re creating together. He loves the steady heartbeat of the drummer, the way he bobs his head and grins as all the other musicians follow his lead. He loves the female backup singer with the long, curly red hair, dressed almost like a female Springsteen in tight black jeans and a white tank top. He’s mesmerized by Clarence Clemons, muscular arms gilded with sweat after two hours onstage but still showing no sign of slowing down, blowing his heart out into his gleaming saxophone. But most of all, he loves the Boss himself.
In the summer of 1984, Steve takes Nancy to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the Born in the USA tour. He learns something about himself along the way.

Summary
Eddie wears it like a brand.
Steve’s warmth. He touched me, Eddie thinks. He touched me.
It wasn’t cold.
Somebody touched him and it didn’t feel cold. Didn’t hurt.
Fat lot of good it does, other than add yet another memory to- yearn? pine? despair?- over, but still. It’s something. It’s everything, maybe.
---
eddie comes out of the upside down with a missing nipple, an inability to warm up, and a beginning-to-get-concerning increase in his adverse reaction to touch. worse, still- steve harrington's magic hands appear to be his own personal cure-all.

Summary
In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.
Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.
But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.
He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.
After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

Summary
“You’re telling me Eddie’s uncle was macking on my mom?”
“All I said was there was a spark.”
Dustin looks at him like he’s the most loathsome creature to ever crawl out of the Upside Down.
Steve elaborates, “Y’know? A spark; fireworks; chemistry.”
Childishly, Dustin plugs his ears with his fingers and chants, “Lalalalalalalala."
Or, the summer after the world almost ends, Steve becomes an accidental matchmaker.
