Summary
“You,” he grinds out, “have ruined more than my day, Miss MacLean. I don't think you understand what this little road trip of ours has cost me. Peace of mind, for one. And Lord knows that was the most precious fuckin’ thing I had.”
He looms over her, so close she can smell the whiskey on his breath. As she stares up at his hat-clad silhouette, a strange feeling shoots through her body, causing a twinge between her legs and a tingle in her spine. She stands rooted to the floor, unable to think, unable to move.
He doesn't move either, except for his gaze. It roams her face, drops down to her neckline, jumps up to her face again. His anger seems to bleed away, and in its place something else creeps in. Something complicated and frightening.

Summary
Post S3. It's been over two months since the Battle of Starcourt. Billy Hargrove survived, but he's not sure he should have. Scarred in body and mind, he has no idea who he is anymore. He spends his days drinking and fighting until Neil, incensed by his son's behavior, throws him out of the house.
Hopper and El come to the rescue, taking Billy home to live with them. Their compassion is unnerving... and exactly what he needed. However, as he adjusts to his newfound "family," he realizes something isn't right. He still feels the Shadow's call, urging him to kill.
Little does he know the Shadow doesn't need him to obey. It has another piece on the board, waiting to strike.

“El,” he huffs. “Jesus. I almost didn’t recognize you.”
--
It's May 1989. After three years in California, Billy returns to Hawkins for Max's high school graduation. He thinks he'll find everything - and everyone - as he left them. Turns out time has moved on in Hawkins, too, and a certain little girl isn't so little anymore. Now that he's back, she's desperate to prove it to him.
Too bad he swore he'll never fall for her. And if he does, there's no way her police chief father won't find out.

Summary
Hank MacLean’s gaze darted back to Lucy where she shifted uncomfortably. “You’ll be safe here. You’ll be happy here, I promise you, Lucy…. Will she be staying another night in medical?”
“No, I believe they’re all done seeing to her. I’ve sent for my husband— he can help her to her room after the doctors clear her. She’ll be perfectly fine with him. Perfectly happy, I bet.” The smile Barb sent Lucy’s way then looked the closest to genuine any had yet, and it was worryingly sharp and calculating.
(Lucy wakes up in a vault. Things go even worse than the last time this happened.)

Summary
Vault-Tec. A mega-corporation, situated above Earth, in the stars. Known for many things: research, innovation, protection. An unusual love of remote space stations.
Not hugely known for travel.
So when Lucy MacLean volunteers to travel to Night City to covertly showcase a cutting-edge piece of addiction support technology, she hires The Ghoul - a local Merc - to help her keep safe. Fly under the rader, so to speak. The less he knows about her reasons for visiting, the better, especially as he's not exactly keen on Vault-Tec...

Summary
“Follow me, now.”
He knew that shadow on the horizon. Recognised the taste, the telltale tang of metallic radiation in the air.
Radiation didn't hurt ghouls, persay, but a man could be too healed. Too... vigorous. It made everything sharper, more overwhelming. Made you angry, sad, but most of all, it made ghouls like him want to fuck.
And the Vaultie? Little Miss Prim and Proper?
Well, an innocent, sheltered virgin like her wasn't going to be interested in helping an old ghoul like him out with the all encompassing, burning, heat-like effects of that radiation... would she?
