    Summary

    Steve is having a hard time adjusting to the new normal, after everything that went down. He doesn't want to bother his friends with his problems, though, when they've got so much weight on their shoulders already.

    Steve stumbles on an alternate version of Hawkins, where none of it ever happened. Everyone’s alive, his headaches are gone, his friends actually want to hang out with him, and he’s… happy.

     

    (The party has to fight another monster. But this one doesn't prey on people's fears. It preys on their deepest desires.)

    Summary


    “If I so much as catch a whiff of you around this lab before three weeks after the surgery —“ (three weeks! Viktor sputters incredulously, but Jayce powers on) “— I’m dragging you back to…” he blinks. “Who am I dragging you back to? Who do you have looking after you?”

     

    “I do not need a babysitter,” Viktor scoffs. “I have been through worse. I will be fine. I will pay someone to deliver some meals and take the week off work.”

     

    Jayce looks at him like Viktor’s just said something incredibly and unbearably sad.

     

    “So,” Viktor continues, “are you going to do the laundry, or not? If not, I will find someone else.”

     

    Jayce is silent for a long moment. Then:

     

    “Yeah,” he says. “I can do that.”


    Viktor resigns himself to recover from spinal fusion surgery alone. He fails to account for Jayce's fervent desire to serve him.

    Summary

    “Don’t let me go.” In his head it sounds like a plea, but he thinks it comes out as something more frantic, and therefore with more of a bite than he’d want; a stray dog refusing to give up a bone with a scrap of meat still left on it.
    “Easy, easy,” Jayce soothes, then quickly- “I won’t. Don’t worry. Just breathe.”

    Summary

    There are two things every Zaunite knows.

    One: You deserve nothing.

    Two: You will take it anyway.

    So when Viktor realizes he wants Jayce, the difference in their stations is entirely irrelevant. He's never wasted time in going after what he wants.

    Summary

    It’s been half a year now since his marriage to Mel fell apart and Jayce became a stay-at-home dad. A little less than that, since he offered Viktor the empty guest room, just to make juggling work and child-rearing overall easier.

    It’s a question of convenience, really. Jayce gets to take care of his daughter, but he also has someone to watch her when he needs to run errands, to play with her next door while Jayce is in a conference call with their sponsors.

    And if Mae gets a little confused about how many daddies she has… or if Jayce is in denial about what kind of partner he wants Viktor to be… Well. They’re going to figure it out eventually.
