    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    "Munson residence," he answers absently, pinching the phone between his shoulder and ear, freeing up his hands even though he hasn’t yet decided what to grab. Is any of the salsa even good still?
    He doesn't even entertain the notion that someone might be calling for him; anyone wanting to talk to him would be using his shiny new-old radio. (A well-loved heirloom of Dustin's, apparently thitherto relegated to a desk drawer since it didn't have enough juice to handle all of the Cerebro updates the little nerdling had wanted to install. Eddie is Gollum-precious about the thing, and none of the little shits can ever know.)
    But, contrary to all his expectations, on the phone a voice says: "Eddie! What's up?"

    Summary

    “Hate to break it to ya Eds,” He says, and Eddie wishes he’d call him freak or anything else. “But once you fight the monsters, you’re part of us.”

    “What if I don’t wanna be?”

    Steve shrugs. "Too bad."

    Summary

    “What’s wrong with what I wrote?” Steve whines, running his fingers through his hair until it’s all mussed up and falling into his face.

    Chrissy snorts. “It sounds like you’re telling him his hair is frizzy and dry.”

    “I said it was pretty!” He throws his hands in the air before crossing them and pouting his lower lip out.

    Chrissy can’t help but laugh. She’s always liked Steve. He’s nicer than most of his friends, and he’s easy to talk to. But this is a side she’s never seen of him. She’s not sure anyone has; can’t imagine Carol or Tommy seeing him put his whole heart into something and not tearing it to shreds.

    “Do you use conditioner?” she asks, throwing finger quotations around it as she reads it off the crumpled page.

    Steve’s blushing again, cheeks all blotchy and red, rather unbecoming for the shoo-in for this year’s prom king. “Well, I thought you said you’d help!” he says, a little too loud for the library.

     

    Or: a secret admirer au.
