Summary
At least Steve can just close his eyes and pretend Billy isn't spouting bullshit. Or he can deliberately not read his lips and just stare at how pink they are and nod when Billy expects him to."Are you even listening to me?" Billy asks him. He must have stopped talking at some point but Steve really isn't paying attention.
"I couldn't listen to you even if I wanted to."
Or, Steve has a hearing impairment and somehow Billy doesn't see it as a problem and fits himself into Steve's life anyway.

Summary
“This is a baby,” Dustin said, hoisting the car seat in the air.
Steve gaped. “Who the fuck trusted you with a baby?”
“They didn’t, Steven. Who the fuck would trust me with a baby? It was just here!”
“Jesus Christ,” Steve said, snatching the seat from Dustin’s grubby fingers. “Don’t fucking shake it, you’ll hurt it.”
“It’s obviously a wishbaby,” Dustin said. Which was, in fact, not obvious.
Or, Steve finds a baby on his porch and Billy Hargrove is real fucking weird about it.

Summary
“Chief?”
“Yeah?” Hopper responded. It was barely eight o’clock; he’d just made it to the office.
“Principal Wallace needs you down at the high school. The Hargrove kid’s sleeping in his car again, and they can’t get him to wake up.”- Language:

Summary
They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.
It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.
(Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

Summary
About 30 in the street, at least 10 more in the building. One woman with a single GSW to the leg, none other critically injured. Four police chargers and six officers, all armed, more inbound.
One suspect. Male. Small caliber handgun and a hostage.
There was no time for Buck to think when his reactions needed to be faster than his brain. His body knew what to do, how to take a man down efficiently.
In which Buck joined the 118 after transferring to the Navy Reserves and struggled with becoming a civilian. Eddie showed him how to feel worthy again.
