Summary
Steve tumbles out of the gate, but instead of the dried out lake, he finds himself in Eddie's trailer. Dazed, upset and confused, he ventures into the upside-down, and instead of finding the three friends he'd last seen in the boat, he comes across another familiar face - Billy Hargrove, who appears to be a little less-than-human and looking for a good time and a ticket out of the hellhole he'd found himself in following his death.

Summary
“So you’re the Grinch,” Max says matter-of-factly as she shoves a handful of fries into her mouth.
“I’m the what? I am not the Grinch.” Billy scoffs, food half-chewed in his cheek. He takes a sip of his root beer float.
“You’re literally the Grinch, dude. And Steve is Cindy Lou Who. And you’re stealing Christmas, you Scrooge.”

Summary
"Are you pretty?"
"I'm a boy," 7-year-old Steve wrote out, chewing on the pen tip as he waited for an answer.
It was much quicker this time, coming in neat scrawl, "I bet you're a pretty boy then."
The response flooded Steve’s chest with a brilliant warmth, the kind that came from drinking hot cocoa after playing outside in the snow. So boys could be pretty, and his soulmate thought that he was as such. It seemed almost like a miracle, something he’d have to tell his mom about when they were done talking. "You've never seen me, how do you know?"
Or, every mark on your skin also appears on your soulmate.

Summary
Vampires were not on Steve Harrington's bingo card for finishing out his last year at Hawkins High, but when a rogue lab experiment murders Barbara Holland, bites him, and leaves him with the kind of hunger that only illicit body fluids can satisfy, he just has to make the best of what he's given.

Summary
In which Steve Harrington and Billy Hargrove fight their way through France in 1943 with their squadron and eventually separated from them, where they must survive the wilderness on their own. They’ve been in Europe for five months and hold each other’s lives in their hands as a team, friends, and something else that blooms vibrant, quick and powerful.
But war is unpredictable, unfair and cruel, and Steve tastes the bitterness of it. He holds it like an open wound, but Billy always knows how to make things right.
