Summary
A teddy bear for her teddy bear! It’s perfect; some may say it’s strange to give a grown man such a thing to help him sleep, but as previously stated, Bear needs comfort, and in all honesty, Nikki doesn’t want him to be alone tonight, and if he’s not comfortable with her sleeping on the floor as indicated by his body language, then this is the next best option.
Or: In the aftermath of Bear’s mental breakdown, all Nikki wants to do is make him feel safe again.

It turns out Henry wasn’t lying; there is indeed a fox problem in the woods.
Or: Patty accidentally discovers the existence of Max Mayfield, one of many secrets Henry Creel has hidden from her. There are consequences to every choice, and this is just the beginning.

Summary
There is no extraterrestrial ability within the boy to speak of, but there is something inside of him all the same.
A light, her light.
But Patty Newby is gone. He made sure of that. She’s been rotting unjustly in the ground for decades now. Unless? No, it’s impossible! He’d be a fool to dream such a thing. She was so small. There's no way Patty could’ve survived such a steep drop.
Yet the boy with her face stands here as clear as day.
Or: Henry Creel inexplicably meets Patty’s son in his dreamscape. It’s not the gift he deserves but the gift he needs.

Summary
Patty’s dead. His boyhood foolishness made sure of that. But that doesn’t mean he still cannot dream or hope. Of the life that they could’ve lived so happily together if they had the privilege of luck on their side.
So much was stolen from him. Yet it could be argued Henry stole the most from sweet Patty when push came to shove.
Or: Kali creates a vision of Patty Newby to distract her brother. The outcome is far from happy.

Summary
His heart clenches at the sound of poor Hallie Creel in such extreme emotional distress, to hell with his father! The only worthwhile prayer is that of his friend’s safety and happiness, and Patrick’s pretty certain (if the wobbling in Hallie’s sweet voice is anything to go by) she’s feeling neither.
Let him be the one to light her sorrows. After all, she’s the first person to not outright fear him upon their first encounter, and that openness means a heck of a lot to Patrick.
Or: Patrick and Hallie have a moment together at church, featuring magic, a spider, and the question of if a witch can be truly good or not.

Patrick Newby kisses his girl with the hunger of a dying man, entangling his free hand in her gorgeous hair and the other around her slender waist to pull Hallie ever closer to his thundering heart.

Normally, Hallie Creel would let her familiar guilt at causing yet another scene consume her whole. But someone had stopped that common ritual right in its tracks.
A boy in her grade had come to Hallie’s defense. To save her from her plight. A very handsome boy, with his leather jacket and well-worn jeans that would drive Hallie’s mother completely mad at the mere sight of him.
The kids of Hawkins call him the boy from nowhere, but his actual name is Patrick Newby.
Or: Hallie Creel’s first day of school is anything but predictable.

Summary
He doesn’t have to look down to know he’s shaking like a leaf right now. How pathetic of him. What kind of husband can’t even kiss his wife on the lips? (her lovely lips) How he burns for the sensation, yet can hardly move a muscle.
Henry thinks himself the hero of this story, but really it’s all just a mask, like how his current angelic form is a clever ruse to hide the true rotting carcass underneath.
Or: Henry Creel wants to kiss his wife, but such a tender gesture is far from simple. Perhaps even the most unlikely of allies can help him on his quest.
