    Summary

    Doc asked about writing, I said it's going good, she said can I see, I said no it’s a journal it’s private, she said so you haven’t been writing, I said I’ve been writing, she said okay I don’t have to read it just flip through the pages, I didn't say anything, she said that’s what I thought James.
     
    A sporadically maintained journal of wanting to die and not dying anyway, and also how hot it is to move to Louisiana in the summer.

    Friends don’t lie to each other and Steve wasn’t being bullied but that wasn’t what she was asking. He tried to make the smile reach his eyes, “It's nothing I can’t handle.”

    Summary

    Steve & Robin have a plan.

    It's probably shitty, really, but it's theirs.

    OR: Steve & Robin make a bucket list, jump off a cliff, and try to get a handle just how much they love each other.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington thinks he might be dead. He stares at the complexion of the boy in the mirror and thinks that maybe he didn't make it out of the upside down after all. The For list is certainly longer than the Against list. The idea doesn't seem so unlikely after everything he's seen these last few years. Adds himself to the pile of bodies that has been steadily growing in his periphery. A fly lands on the mirror and he thinks of the moniker that got thrown around the middle school before it was tossed around the high school. Little Will Byers. Zombie boy. Says it aloud to the fly.

    "Zombie Boy."

    The words sit too comfortably on his tongue to be anything but true. Steve Harrington is dead and he is so incredibly fucked.

    Summary

    In 1983, Nancy tells Steve to run. He does. In 1986, he follows Jason Carver, but when he finds Eddie in the boathouse and he tells him of something impossible, Steve believes him.

    Steve squints at him. He’s a drunk who forgets the name of the girl of the day. “What’re you going to do? Hand him in to the cops?”

    Jason narrows his eyes. “I’m going to make him pay. He’s killed another. On the news, did you see? I need to stop him before —”

    “— Jason,” he cuts him off, “man, this is…”

    Bitterly, Steve thinks he’s beautiful, rotten and beautiful and Steve’s perfect mirror if maybe he were braver. He would have revenge against his mother; against the monster; against his father. Revenge against the line where parent and monster blurs, where wombs and umbilical cords knot into this unnameable terror. If only Steve were braver. “Harrington,” says Jason, “it’s Chrissy.” And he says it like Steve might once have said Nancy and it stings like something old and foreign and he chases that escape from the numbness, something that isn’t numb but sharp and painful. “It’s Chrissy.”
