Summary
Robin waves at Steve as he starts making the drink, pointing her thumb over her shoulder vaguely in the direction of the library. “I gotta go, but I’ll see you later, you’re getting the table, yeah?”
“Don’t be late, okay? They always start with a music question!” he yells after her, pumping caramel into the bottom of a cup.
“That’s okay, Eddie’s coming too!” she says, choosing that exact second to push through the double doors out of the lecture hall.
[or, a fruity four college AU, where Robin is determined to finally have a winning trivia team, to make her best friend and her new roommate bond, and maybe kiss her new editor on the school paper.]

Summary
Everyone preaches, 'Don't judge a book by its cover'. In reality, it should be 'don't judge a person by their home'. Sierra Nightingale's father is one of the richest men in Hawkins. She lives in a beautiful house, drives a top of the range car and is best friends with The King Of Hawkins High, Steve Harrington. Her fellow students envy her. They all think she has the perfect life. But they don't see what lies beyond the image - bruises, absent parents, a caregiver for her little brother who has to babysit a group of D&D lovers to earn money for groceries. This is just the routine for Sierra. Keep the secrets safe and the front on. As for Billy Hargrove - the newbie at Hawkins High - he thinks he can breeze through the corridors in his tight jeans and win over every girl he sets his eyes on. So when he meets Sierra, he expects to immediately win her over. What he doesn't expect is to have the walls he's built all his life to come crumbling down. Add a world of monsters to the mix and life as they both knew it was going to change forever.
(The chapters will either be written from Sierra's PoV, Billy's PoV or both).

Summary
“Hawkins Elementary. 1976. First day of school.” The girl says, chest rising and falling haphazardly. “The swings. The seats were green, the metal was so rusted it might as well have been red. You approached him first. Said his notebook had-had pretty drawings in it.”
Mike’s breath catches at the same time Joyce’s does. They know this story like the back of their hands.
“‘I’m Michael. Do you want to be friends with me?’ You said.” She swallows thickly, running a hand through her greasy hair. Word for word. Mike thinks he doesn’t have the ability to forget that day.
“He said yes.” Mike continues, hands shaking and voice quivering.
She meets his eyes in a hard stare. His skin flares with goosebumps.
“He said yes.”
(or, alternatively, dead people don't always stay dead)

Summary
Steve Harrington is bullshit.
Everything Steve knows about himself is bullshit.
Robin Buckley isn't an idiot.
She may not be smart but she's smart enough to know when things are off.
Eddie Munson is a freak.
Maybe he isn't the only one in Hawkins High who is one too.
Nancy Wheeler won't be ignored.
If she can just get them to listen, maybe she can help.

Now he has to face down ‘84, and boy.Steve’s fucking tired already.
