Summary
“You don’t touch her,” Tommy says. “You don’t fuckin’ touch her!”
“Not really in a place to be making demands, old man.” The man's hand leaves Ellie's hair, coming up to her chin instead. He moves the gun from her temple to the back of her head. She resists the urge to bite him, her teeth clenched. “Gotta be from a settlement. No one who’s been out for long is this clean. No girl stays out long either. Always hiding ‘em behind walls. Don’t leave much for the rest of us.”
Joel’s told her about people like this. People who wander around the country alone or in pairs. Usually very young men who don’t fit into even hunter groups for one reason or another.
“Sometimes they’re even worse than the groups," he'd said. "They don’t got anyone holding them back.”
When Ellie and Tommy are attacked, Tommy is forced to put his own potential for brutality on full display. They deal with the aftermath.

Summary
Robin was going to die. She was going to die here, in the middle of the Starcourt Mall, because she couldn’t leave well enough alone. All she wanted was a not terrible summer job to start putting some money aside for college, and instead she was going to die with Steve The Hair Harrington.
At least she got to come out to someone before she died, even if he was the straightest man in Hawkins. Because Steve was straight, right?
Right?

Summary
At the beginning of his rant, lecture, whatever, Hottie stares right at him. He has a really intense stare. Pretty brown eyes set in a prettier face with even prettier hair on top of his head. Eddie gets distracted by all that pretty and by trying to make his point.
And he doesn’t notice until halfway through that Hottie isn’t looking at him anymore. He’s looking at his friend.
Eddie looks at her, too. Looks at her confused and focused expression. Looks at her hands moving rapidly.
Oh. G-d.
Hottie’s deaf, isn’t he?
OR
It's the first time Corroded Coffin goes on tour, and a well-intentioned Eddie Munson puts his foot straight into his mouth when he tries to talk to a light tech. God bless the power of stupid apology songs, shared experience, and twenty four hour diners for giving him a second, better chance.
OR
A Deaf guy and an amputee walk into a twenty four hour diner for a combination first date and apology meal.

Summary
"Steve?" Nancy grabs him by the shoulders, the same way he did not too long ago. Not now. Not here. Please, it's too soon. We just got out of the last one. "Steve!"
His eyes find her, glassy but present.
Silence has fallen across the bedroom all of the sudden. She can feel everyone's eyes burning into her and Steve, who is gapping like he can't find the air to speak.
The next one strikes close, light and sound mixed almost as one, making her window tremble. He shakes too, inside her grasp, and suddenly Steve —who barely breaks a sweat while running across forests and dark deserted lands— is hyperventilating.
"I-" he tries. "I don't- I can't-"
Breathe. He can't breathe.
or
Steve has a panic attack. And everyone else panics over it.

Summary
Steve Harrington is secretly a nerd. He's also, in Eddie's opinion, a massive dick. (Or: five times nobody but Eddie believes that Steve is a giant nerd, and one time he tells everyone else.)
“Oh, you’re kidding, I love that book,” says Steve Harrington.
Eddie wonders, for about half a second, if he’s somehow fallen into a different dimension. He stares down at the battered copy of 'The Silmarillion' just in case he’s accidentally been reading like… whatever jocks read, a basketball like — handbook, or whatever. He isn’t. It’s still 'The Silmarillion'. Eddie looks up at Steve Harrington, who is standing at the bottom of the stairs Eddie is sitting on, sunlight in his hair, sneakers shifting awkwardly on the tarmac of the school yard. “Uh-huh,” Eddie says, sort of dumbly.
