Notes

[1] Examples of pilots for shows that were rejected include: Constant Payne, The Modifyers, Diggs Tailwagger, Lehold, Carmen Got Expelled, Jo Minkus, Monsters Abroad, Thom Cat, Werebeast, Magic Children Doing Things, Dungeon Crawlers, IRL Squad, Camp W, and Trick Moon. Pilots of Adventure Bodies (2012), Vileville (2013), Audience! (2014), C Students (2014) (as it was discontinued in 2015 and he discontinued the channel in 2018), Showside (2015), Urbance (2016), Obituary (2016) (after this, all other stories continued in webcomic form), Becky Prim (2016), Film Quest (2016), Rock and Riot (2016) (student film based on webcomic of same name), Bamboo Garden (2017), Salt Kidz (2018), Cliffside (2018) (announced in 2020 it will not be continued), Starship Goldfish (2018) (very slim chance), Bird Town News (2018), SpaceWorld (2019), and Wings of Fire (2020) (cancelled for unstated reasons) will likely not be turned into animated series.

Belle & Tina are Time Travelers had a pilot in 2016, but it may be coming back as hinted in a video clip in April 2020. The same may be the case with Impotents as the pilot premiered in 2016, but the official website lists six episodes, although none are online. On the other hand, the company producing the series last posted tweets in 2016 and the Kickstarter ended the same year. Song of the Sky, the pilot of which premiered in 2018, may be turning into an animated series, according to posts on Patreon.

[2] It is likely that Sechrist’s “How to School,” for those interested in animation, drawing, and the like, will undoubtedly help animators either pitch their own shows, or move into the indie animation space.

[3] In Helluva Boss, Blitzo is pansexual, Moxxie is bisexual, Stolas is gay or bisexual, and Sallie May is a trans woman, while in Hazbin Hotel, Alastor is asexual, Angel Dust is gay, Charlie Magne is bisexual, and Vaggie is a lesbian. In S.A.L.E.M., Salem is a non-binary and pansexual character, Oliver is gay, and Petra is asexual. In Rain, Rain Flaherty is a trans girl, Fara Bryer is bisexual, Maria Stongwell is lesbian, Rudy Strongwell is gay, Emily Caston is pansexual, Vincent Valverde is a trans man, and Jessica Li is a trans woman. In Dirt: The Series, Claire and Ally are a lesbian couple.

In September 2020, Medrano supported two male characters in the animated ZooPhobia short, “Bad Luck Jack,” being shipped together. Other examples include Gadzooks and the Cryptoid Kids (a series by two gay men with LGBTQ themes), Astur’s Rebellion (said to have various LGBTQ characters), C Students (a lesbian, Nicole, who has a crush on the new female student, Penny, jerks off to a woman’s body, and a male student, Drew, is gay), Finding Alyx! (it will feature a non-binary artist), Rock and Riot (a girl, Penny, tries to get another girl, Carla, to like her), Roads to Rome (a supporting character, Mira, has two annoying dads), Cirque Du Monstro (has an asexual main character), Succubus Cop (has an asexual cop), Starmakers (has a bisexual character), Cabiria Intermezzo (one character has a crush on the protagonist), and Long Way From Del’Arte (has bi and gay characters).

There may be LGBTQ characters in the following upcoming series: The Journey for Our Lives, Warlocks of Wrath High, and Tallyho!.

[4] The Indigo pilot was proposed in December 2019 by an animator named Moon. The show’s account was suspended (and soon to be deleted) in preparation for a possible pitching of a short from the series to Cartoon Cartoons, a program restarted in April 2021.

According to a now-deleted tweet, the series' main account was suspended for reasons of personal safety and due to the animation pitching process. Before the account was suspended, the show was going to be open to crowdfunding.

[5] Other series with a pilot include: Bunker City, Bussin, Painquin, and Project Tideaway. Others in development, and without a pilot, include: Crescent Fire, Stellapie, Squabs, Bloop and Friends, Harri’s World, Monkey Wrench, Band of Mythix, The Alyssian, Second Light, Don’t Touch the Props!, Espionage Actors, Dark Pages, Stick-Ers, Crash in the System, Here We Are, Quest Infinite, Harvey Beaks (fan reboot), Foreign Contact, Transformers Alliance (fan animation), Arbor Square, The Crystal Eden, and Aleph Stars.

Sunset Paradise is another example of an indie animated series which ended, is with the finale in July 2021.

Decided to mess around with some character ideas. Still not entirely sure if I’ll keep any of them, yet.

What I love about your Muses and You

A positivity post by me (Lena) with some commentary by my muses

MK:

You do an incredible job with all kinds of characters, and I love that you do a good balance of good and evil, but you also know how to find that gray area. I think working in that gray shady area is a lot of fun and you really pull it off. You come up with some wild plot arcs and you always find a way to keep people guessing (personally am thrilled about the polyamorous relationship. Nice one!)

Louie: yeah Lou’s been a real cool dude. A R T man. I may not be skilled, but he was always fun to learn with. Someday I’ll learn more. Ashley: Belle like is literally saving my ass with this job. Seriously my favorite person at the moment.

Avarick:

man I’ve always loved writing with you. We always clicked well with that, and I’ve loved all the characters you brought into the rp. I was so so so excited to see that you were coming back and that you wanted to bring RIKU! I couldn’t believe it! I loved it when we wrote horse buddies back in the day, and I’ve loved every other opportunity we’ve had to do stuff. I’m so so glad you’re back to writing with us.

Sora: =DDD RIKuUUUUU. I missed him so muuuuch. Roxas: yo who the f is this Riku guy?

Mckala:

You have always been the backstory queen, and I tip my hat to you. You do the level of research that always blows my mind. I just do not have the time or the energy for it, but you have all these lists, giant ass family trees, you know the works. It’s really impressive, and one can see the dedication that you put into your characters.

Louie: so Elena’s like a sick Crown PrincesS? That’s dope! When you gonna take back the kingdom man? Queen it uuup!

Finn: Adella’s always been nice to me when I would visit Ariel. She’s really talented.

Wilbur: (imagine a happier time) mum’s great! She’s always there if I need her to be, and while she won’t buy me everything I bloody want, she knows what I really need.

 Ashley:

honestly such a great person and great rper. I think the most memorable thing for me lately has been Ashley popping in occasionally when she thought I might be upset or bothered by something and checking in. Talking things out and venting together. She’s honestly such a great listening ear, I think we’re really lucky to have her in this rp. I may be slightly biased toward Ashlee T. and Ollie, but all her babes have nuance and I love them. Ashley: Ashlee!!! One of the only people in this world that matter!!! <3 We made it through some nightmares. Things look up from here babe. Wilbur: duuude Ollie I didn’t realize you were adopted too and it’s the coolest fact I got to know about you. It’s awesome to have someone to relate with.

 Pet:

I feel like we used to have a harder time connecting writing wise and things were awkward, and I’m so happy to say it doesn’t feel that way at all anymore. The things we’ve written have been so fun, and I feel like (correct me if I’m wrong), but I feel like bringing Chickaroo together allowed for us to start having more conversation and plotting and just. It opened doors in some way. I think it’s awesome because I love your writing and I love getting to connect with your babes more. As you know, Al has my heart now because he just does, and Barrel has also managed to steal my heart. But all of your babes are so great, and I’m glad that we’ve managed to connect better. I look forward to more time spent writing hilarious things like Dipper and Roxas at the bar, or Al teaching Arthur about the internet.

Louie: yo Al’s like the chillest boss I’ve ever had. He’s also the only boss I’ve ever had but still! Cool dude!

Roxas: Dipper’s a nice guy. I hope I can get to know him more.

Sora: Dipper is Mabel’s TWIN BROTHER =DDDD that’s SO cool!!!

Wilbur: duuude. Barrel is like the person I didn’t expect to ever care about in a billion years, but if anyone did anything to him...like...die.

Alex:

I feel like we also used to not really vibe and were awkward with each other, and I’m super glad that’s changed because you’re literally so cool and you send such fun stuff and we just have a great time! I love Nyx, you know that I have an appreciation of Arista from afar, and Haley is just...great. All your babes are. I’m so happy we’ve finally made that writing connection because it’s been so fun to talk to you and get your perspective on things. Ahh it’s great. Can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future.

Ashley: Haley was like...almost cool. It’s a shame she’s such a goodie goodie two shoes.

Dot: Haley’s a good dragon? What the hell? She seems okay, but I’m still not sorry I shot her in the foot. She totally deserved it.

Clarion: Nyx has been my constant companion for some time now. I’m so grateful for her presence.

Bee:

Bee my big bro, my wife, my partner in ridiculous here too. You’re such a great joy to write with, and I love the way you tell your stories. I’m still so impressed by your take with Hera, and how she is as a sorceress. That’s so damn cool! And of course you’ve got the lovely Marie who’s charming and vain and I love that about her. Marie is a gift, your writing’s a gift and I’m grateful you’re in the rp. Not to mention you and Chloe are our resident British experts and that’s great. Thank you for joining the rp and for bringing the perspective you bring. Look forward to more crazy storylines with you.

Louie: yo nerd! Just kidding, wassup Huey? You’re the best big bro a guy could have. Keep it real, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

Fflewddur: Marie! My beautiful wife! Love of my life! The world must envy me for having the most amazing wife in the entire world.

Sora: Kristoff! Best roomie ever !!! =DDDD hope you don’t mind if my best pal Riku stays with us. Thnx dude <3 <3 <3

Becky:

I mean where do I begin. We’ve had such great stories and ridiculous teen hijinks and theatrics. It’s been such a good time. And of course, there are few people I’d be sure about doing a big plot like the one we’ve got going with Ashley and Roo, but we’ve managed it, and I think it’s been a really really fun story to tell. So thanks for taking that leap with me and letting us tell a ridiculous story together. It’s been awesome. Glad to have you in the rp.

Ashley: well, you’re an alright guy I guess Roo.

Bryer:

we’ve only really had a little bit of time to write together before with Dash, but it was super fun, and even just observing, I’ve loved seeing your characters on the dash and seeing where they’re at. Hatter’s awesome too. It’s great to have him around in the rp, and especially with such a different take than we’ve had in the past. Love the werewolf storyline, love to see it.

Chloe:

I feel like you’re a person after my own heart. Mitte often makes me think of my old Shego muse, and that just makes me happy because I just love the chaos that she brings. I love all of your babes of course, but that just makes her a bit more #1 in my heart. You’re also so chill to plot with and to come up with these crazy schemes. I mean remember how we sort of pitched Mitte turning on a bit of a whim and now here she is? It’s literally so good and you went with it and I just...ugh. I truly love it and seeing the growth. All your babes tell such awesome stories, and this just tells me I need to find a way to plot with you more when time/work allows. Keep up the good work. You’re kicking ass.

Anthony: what a brat. As long as this girl doesn’t cause me any more trouble though I suppose she’s tolerable. 

Dezi:

We haven’t been able to interact much writing wise, but I hope to change that someday soon/when time/work allows. Charlotte is honestly such a great character, and I think it’s awesome to see her and Tiana around, I think it’s the first time in a long time...if we’ve ever managed that before? I don’t know. It’s seriously so cool and I love reading your stuff together, and just Charlotte’s stuff in general. Keep cool and carry on writing a great babe. 

I wish I had things my muses could say but I don’t think I’ve had the chance to interact with Charlotte. Just Judy before ;-; Forgive me. I still think you’re swell.

Emma:

Boy do I love that you swooped in with your kids. Phineas, Tiana and Aquata are such dynamic characters. It blows my mind, truly. I love them all. I love how ready you are to plot and to throw out great ideas. Phineas has the kind of chaos energy that I love (obviously, as Louie is my chaos energy). You’re so chill with me trolling your babes on twitter, and a joy to write with. Thank you for coming back as well. I’m glad we’ve gotten the chance to write together. <3

Louie: duuuude we gotta do something crazy again soon? Operation dumbass commence? Jk jk Operation Too Cool For School.

Wilbur: what is with that twitter lady tho? Too old to be arguing with teens on twitter don’t you think?

Ginny:

Ahhh i mean we’ve done so many fun things and continue to do. With so many connections and stuff it’s hard not to! I’m so glad you rejoined as I have and that we got to bring these characters into the rp that vibe (and/or fight each other). To each their own. Our kids have an energy what can you do? I think your characters are all awesome, and I love seeing them on the dash. I love writing with them. Two besties, no wait THREE now with Kairi, isn’t that just wild? I love that best friend energy our babes have. Support it, thanks for writing all kinds of good things with me. You’re a gem.

Finn: I love you Ariel. You’re the best of friends. I’m so lucky to know you =]

Ashley: Ashle B!!! Babe you are a rockstar. You’ve kind of been the glue of our friendship I think. I love you babe. Stay true to you and kick some ass in college!

Wilbur: (in happier times) DADDD!!! Best dad to ever dad, person that gets me cool things. Coolest of dads. You rock.

Sora: ????!!! KAIRI???!!???

Hannah:

Hannah Hannah Bo Bannah Fee Fi Fo Fannah HANNAH...I couldn’t resist. You’ve been so great to talk to and write with and honestly it’s been so great to love our babes together and talk about BTS together and talk kpop in general. I’m so so so glad that we’ve gotten to know each other more over these last few months and stuff. You’ve really been so great, and our plots and characters are such a good time. So glad you got my brother, and my best friend. It’s awesome to have and to write with you.

Louie: DEWEEEEEEEEEEY. DEWFORD. DEWEYYYYY….hi.

Louie: TAEEEEEEE. Bro. my dude. Sorry I make memes outta you all the time. But in my defense...your face is kinda funny. Love u dude =]

Sora: Mabel!!! My GIRLFRIEND =DDDD you’re great! I love spending time with you and looking at hot boys! Speaking of...I have a friend you might think is hot…

Finn: Tae! Thanks for being so nice to me and allowing me to open myself up and get to know you. I’m so lucky that Nemo introduced us. You’re a really great friend =]

Jaby:

JABYYYYYYYYYY. Man we always had muses that vibed and our writing just clicked and that always brought me joy. I’m so glad you came back, because your characters are great, the stories you tell are great, and I really really missed having you around. I know we’ve both been busy lately with our own work stuff, but I definitely want the chance to connect some muses again, because I love your babes and you and I’ve been so happy to see you. Let’s figure something out someday when my schedule stuff evens out a bit better.

Jean:

you haven’t been in the rp long, but boy have you made an impact already. Lachlan is amazing!! Truly an icon and I’m so glad that you brought him in. And so glad that you’re here. We’re all lucky to have you. I really think you’re bringing in such a unique take and writing and it’s just awesome to see and to see Launchpad driving around, and driving people a little wild on twitter. It’s beautiful.

Louie: soooooo did you really nearly kill my bro?

Kiara:

We also don’t really have any interactions right now but that is a-okay because you are living a life doing the real life hero work. Truly I’m amazed by you, and I think we’re all lucky you’re around. I hope you take care of yourself and that you do get to enjoy that time to just write and love your characters. They’re all truly fantastic and I love seeing where you take them. Especially Georgette. I think her journey has absolutely captivated me.

Kit:

man you are awesome to plot with. The pirate au was such a good time, just brainstorming some ridiculous ideas. And your ladies are so truly dynamic and powerful and I am so excited to see where you take them. I don’t think we really have had much interaction besides the au, but I look forward to a day where life is less stressful and we can do some more stuff. That’d be great. <3 Keep doing you, you’re killing it.

Lauren:

Man I love your characters so much. Greg is such an icon on the board and otherwise. And I love pushing your characters buttons almost as much as I love agreeing with them. They’re just such joys to have around. Lol well I’m sure Roscoe would argue about that and be all Roscoe, but I’m glad to have him around. It’s been great talking to you and having debates over milk being a capitalist scam. I am glad you’re in the rp, and I continue to look forward to seeing what new things you and your characters bring.

Lauryl:

This go around of me rejoining the rp I feel like we’ve gotten a lot closer and that makes me really happy. =] It all started with a Jimin, how did it end up like this? It was only a...just kidding. I know exactly why. Nemo and your brilliant writing and his connecting with Louie drew me into this BTS zone and then before I knew it there was Finn and Lunch Squad and and and. The list really does go on because we’ve just come up with some really ridiculous and fun stories and it’s been great. Thank you for bringing Olaf and teaching me a lot more about aromanticism, for Atta and that sister bond that I am stoked about (reminds me we gotta do another thing for them that yes). I’m so glad we’ve connected more and that you are in the rp <3

Louie: Neeeeeeeeeeemo I have a crisis of boy things! CRISIS. WEE OO WEE OO chop chop and help me out. Also I’ve got cookies.

Finn: Nemo, I can’t believe how close we’ve gotten in so short a time. You’re one of my very best friends. I love you lots.

Finn: Hyung, you’re so warm and kind. I’m so lucky I know you.

Dot: did you drink water today Atta? You better not be going anywhere crazy without ME.

Lins:

You’ve just joined but I’m so stoked we’re already talking and talking about TORTALL of all things. Like WOW! I didn’t think anyone out there appreciated those books the way I did. It is so nice to be wrong, and to have a source to discuss my fave childhood books. It’s also exciting to have Eilonwy, and I’m excited to interact with her. <3 

Sav:

I know life keeps you pretty busy, but you push through and you bring your babes and keep steady with all of that and I think that’s really admirable. You’ve got the older gentleman muse energy and I respect that. I think it’s great that you have your niche. I myself have the teens as we know. I’m sorry we haven’t had much chance to interact, but I hope to improve that in the future. Especially with Seamus. That’s my rich uncle. I wanna do something about that when life gets less hectic. Either way, you’ve got great babes and you’re doing a great job. Take care of yourself lovely.

Louie: soooooo gonna buy me a motorcycle Uncle Seamus?

Sid:

man you’ve got a great bunch of characters and they’re all so different and dynamic and I love that. Ratigan is complex, and he was especially good fun in the pirate event I have to say. Truly loved the take we had on the ship and everything. He’s so great. I also love seeing Eric on the dash, and am excited to interact more with him cause I think he’s just groovy. They’re all groovy. I can’t think of any whimsical things to say but you’re doing awesome and your babes are great. Take care lovely.

Sierra:

I have not had a chance to interact with you or your Tod yet, but I look forward to the day where I can. Tod’s a great character, and it’s exciting to see that he’s come back. I know I saw him connecting with some of the other Swynlakers and I think that’s even better. Love a character with history, and Tod definitely has that. I hope you take care of yourself, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of Tod in the future.

Cold as Ice

A/N: Alight here you go folks, a story nobody asked for but I hope you all enjoy. Thanks @bucksies and @rohirrimanduril for all your help you’re the best

pairing: Steve Harrington x Reader

Word count: 5K

Imagine you’re picking up your brother from school when you come across a creature that sends you running for your life and right into the arms of the boy who doesn’t seem to be bothered at all by the whole thing, to him it’s just another Tuesday.

It was a typical Tuesday morning for the Henderson household as everyone prepares for their day. Their mother fretted over the cat, making sure the new kitten was well cared for and knew how loved it was. She hadn’t let the little thing out of her sight since she received it that Christmas, courtesy of you and your brother, Dustin. You swear she loved that thing more than you sometimes. Your brother, on the other hand, was scrounging around the kitchen looking for food, while you tried to finish the little bit of homework you had left.

“You kids have everything?” Their mother asked for the hundredth time that morning.

“I do, not sure about princess over there though.” Dustin teased.  

“Bite me Dustin,” you snap not in the mood to deal with your annoying little brother with the science test you had that morning looming before you.

Your mom let out an exhausted sigh. “Come on you two, be nice.” She glances out the window, frowning.  “You don’t mind driving your brother to school, do you (Y/N)?”

You glance up from the notes you were hastily scribbling and sent your mother a pleading look. You didn’t have time to drop him off at school, you were already running late meeting Steve and still had some last minute notes you wanted to take.

“I thought I would bike today.” Dustin said as he secured his red and blue baseball cap over his unruly curls.

Your mother shook her head. “It’s cold outside and looks like snow, I don’t want you out in that. Your sister will drive you.”

“Really mom-”  You complain.

“That’s not-“ Dustin said over you.

“I won't hear it.” She says interrupting you two and glances at her watch. “I have to get to work,” She kisses Dustins forehead and pats your arm on her way to the door. “Have a good day at school.” And then she was gone.

You gather up your textbooks strewn around the table, shoving them into your backpack, before making your way around the house to gather the rest of your materials. If you were required to take your brother to school you had to leave in the next few minutes if you didn’t want to be late.

“I can still bike you know, mom doesn’t have to know.” Dustin offered as he watched you run around the house in a frenzy.

You grab the last textbook from the living room giving a triumphant cheer before depositing it in your backpack. “Not happening squirt. We may argue, but I’m not having you freeze to death on my watch.”

“Aww she cares.”

“Watch it buster, or you’ll walk the last mile.”

Dustin held up his hands in surrender before grabbing his things with you following closely behind. The minute you stepped outside you understood your mother's concerns about Dustin getting to school. This wasn’t biking weather, this was freeze your ass off by staying outside longer than required. You quickly shuffled to the car and opened the passenger door for your brother before heading to the driver side.

“You still want to bike?” You tease.

“Hell no.”

You laugh as you turn your car on, the radio blasting the newest hit by Starship.

Dustin quickly covered his ear as you spun the dial to a more suitable volume. “Geez loud enough for you?”

“I like to rock out, sue me.” You say as you carefully backed out of your driveway, careful not to hit the neighbor's flowerbed.

You're as cold as ice You're willing to sacrifice our love You want paradise But someday you'll pay the price, I know

“What is this shit anyway?”

You shot Dustin a horrified look. “Bite your tongue. First of all, this isn’t shit, second of all, you haven’t heard of Foreigner? Where have you been hiding, under a rock?”

“Last time I checked you need a radio for that, and the music I do hear is from Will, and he gets it from Jonathan, and all they listen to is the Clash.”

“That’s not all they listen to, I believe he listens to Pink Floyd too.”

“No, I’m pretty sure that’s all they listen to.” Your brother said matter of factly.

“Well one of these days I’m going to make you a tape, expand your horizons.”

“I expand my horizons everyday, just last week Mr. Clark was talking about photosynthesis, which is how plants eat. It’s really cool how they take sunlight and turn it into the sugar they need to survive.”

“Oh really, is that how it works?”

“Well there’s a whole process, but I don’t want to bore you with the details.”

You glance at Dustin from the corner of your eye frowning. “I do care Dustin, I may seem like I don’t, but I do care. I’m not freakishly smart like you, you know, I have to work really hard to get here.”

“No, no, it’s cool. So uhh… what’s another cool song?”

You smile as you pull into the parking lot.

“Unfortunately we are all out of time, but I promise I will think of some songs for the drive home.”

Dustin flashed you a smile and grabbed his things. “I’ll hold you too that,” he said as he exited the car.

You watched him run over to his friends, the boys he grew up with and the two new girls, El and Max. It was nice to see that they were making new friends and being there for each other with everything that was happening in Hawkins.

The small town had seen a lot these last two year than it did in the last fifty, and it all seemed to revolve around the Bryers family, more specifically the youngest son, Will. You remember when Will went missing, how desperate his mother was to find him and how your own brother and his friends snuck out hoping to help with the search. It was a crazy month of kids being on lockdown, required to check in with their parents than they ever did in the past, but it still didn’t help Barbra from going missing. Your own mother was constantly on edge putting a curfew in place after your brothers stunt and the young woman's disappearance.

Everything went back to normal when they found Will, or as normal as Hawkins could be after such a thing. It didn’t help that a year after Will's disappearance the Department of Energy was drawing more attention with a chemical leak. It was thanks Nancy and Jonathan that the government was exposed before anyone else got hurt. It was only after the news reported the story about Hawkins that the twin finally got closer about Barbs disappearance. She wasn’t coming home.  You didn’t know how Hawkins had become a magnet for trouble, it had always been a quiet, uneventful, little town.

What had changed?

The clock on your dash caught your eye and you knew if you didn’t hurry you would be late, the last thing you needed right now.

The warning bell rang as you hurried into the school mumbling curses under your breath as you raced toward your locker. Today was not the day to be late, not with the test you were about to have in Mr.Williams class. Oh you were so screwed if you were late.

Your books were quickly exchanged and you were down the hall in seconds, not bothering to check where you were going, figuring everyone was already in class, when you collided with Steve Harrington. Your papers slide across the hall as your folder burst open while your binder sat on its side, the rings broken from the impact.

“Shit. Shit. Shit.” You exclaim as you quickly dove after the papers, grabbing as many as you could before shoving them in your folder.

“Whoa,” you heard Steve say as he handed you the pages you had missed before offering you his hand, helping you to your feet. “I missed you this morning.”

You had been tutoring Steve the last few months as a last ditch effort to raise his grades, hoping by doing so he could graduate with the rest of his classmates. It was a lot of hard work just getting him to meet with you, there was always some sort of sports activity interfering with the tutoring times you normally worked with. Steve was the one who offered meeting with you an hour before school started knowing that was the only time he was busy with one activity or another. You instantly agreed and the two of you got to work raising his grades.

Contrary to the facade Steve portrayed to the student body, he was rather smart, not brilliant, but not dumb enough to be failing. It was all a matter of time and he didn’t have a lot of it to spend doing homework or studying, and it was up to you to help him find it. The only subject that he truly struggled in was English and even then it was with writing, something you loved, and not reading comprehension which you found harder to teach.

The two of you were suppose to meet before school today to take a look at his latest essay and provide him with the necessary changes that would help strengthen the paper. You of course couldn’t make it and you felt terrible for ditching him.

“I know and I’m sorry, but I had to take my brother to school, and now I’m running late.”

As if on cue the final bell rang through the already empty hallways and you knew there was no way Mr. Williams would allow you to take the test now.

“It’s no big deal, I just wanted to make sure you were okay, it’s not like you to be late.”

That caught your attention. “Are you checking up on my Harrington?”

“What? No” Steve ran his hands through his hair before shoving them into his pockets and giving you a shrug. “Maybe, do you blame me though with everything that’s happened in Hawkins?”

“My knight in shining armor, I didn’t realize you cared.”

“I care about graduating and I need your help to do so.”

You shook your head. “You really don’t,”

“Since you bailed on me this morning how about we reschedule for this afternoon?”

“I can’t, I have to pick Dustin up from school.”

You swear your saw Steve’s face fall for a second before a smile graced his face. “No worries, I’ll just catch up with you tomorrow. ”

“Why wait, you’re more than welcome to come over, my mom won’t mind.”

“You sure?”

“Of course I’m sure, it’s my fault we couldn’t meet this morning anyway, it’s the least I could do.”

“It’s a date.”

You glanced at your watch and groan.

“Mr.Williams class right?” Steve asks

You nod your head.

“I’m pretty sure I can get you in.”

“What?”

“Come on,”

You follow Steve down the hall, confused and worried about what he was about to do. Steve stopped you at the corner before the classroom and gave you a wink before knocking on the door. You watched as Mr.Williams exited the classroom to talk with Steve, his back to you, giving you the perfect opportunity to slip into the classroom unnoticed.

“Hey Mr. Williams, I’m sorry to disturb you, but do you have a minute?”

“Can this wait, Mr.Harrington, I’m about to give an exam.”

“Uhh, no. No, it can not, you see my friends and I have this question, you see and you’re the only one who can answer it.”

Steve slowly slid his hands behind his back and waves you forward. You mouth thank you to Steve for saving you before slipping into the room. You owe him.

You sat in your car outside the junior high school waiting for Dustin to walk out with his friends like he always did after school. The minutes slowly ticked by, five turned to ten, ten turned to fifteen and you knew Dustin forgot you were picking him up which meant you had to fo get him.

“Really Dustin?” You grumble as you got out of the car and made your way up the school steps. “Why is it you always forget the time.”

You figured he’d be in the AV room with the new radio Mr. Clark had just received. Dustin hadn’t stopped talking about it for weeks after it arrived, going on and on another how far they could travel since the range was far superior to their little two way radios.

“Dustin?” You ask knocking on the door marked AV. “Hey, it’s time to go.” You slowly open the door, after no response, only to find it empty. “Damn it.”

“Dustin?” You called, your voice echoing around the empty school. “Seriously this isn’t funny.”

It was eerily silent in Hawkins Junior high, too quiet for a school to be during after school hours. You hadn’t stumbled upon a single teacher or student the entire time you stepped through the door. There had to be someone left in this school who knew where your brother could be.

A crash from the corner classroom caught your attention as you slowly made your way toward the room.

“I swear to God Dustin, if that’s you trying to scare me, you are so dead.”

You jumped into the room, half expecting to see your brothers curly head, only to find it empty.

“What?” You mumble.

What was going on, you swear your brother was still in the school, but you had yet to come across him or any of his friends.

You hear the faint squeak and then nothing, only silence. Something was clearly not right here, for one the cage on the table near the window sil was empty and second there was growling coming from the room. You slowly edged farther into the room, peeking under the teacher's desk before turning toward the room. You saw the tail before you saw the reptile sitting in the corner, making it hard to get a good look at it. It was definitely too big to be a lizard, maybe it was the class iguana. “What the hell are you?” You exclaim looking at the creature in the corner of the room. It looked like a reptile, but not one who had ever since before. “What are you?”

The creature turned from his meal, the class rabbit from the looks of it, and you knew that you had to get out of there. The hairs on the back of your neck were telling you to run, but your legs remained glued to the spot. It wasn’t till the creature let out a scream that you found your legs moving again.

You pushed the nearest desk over, hoping it might slow it down and continued running. Your sneakers slid against the tile as you quickly rounded the corner colliding with the last person you thought you would see that day and sending you both crashing to the floor.

“That’s twice in one day Henderson, if you seriously wanted to talk with me, all you had to do was ask.” Steve groaned.

You quickly scramble to your feet pulling Steve up with you. “Run.”

“What?”

“Run!” You scream as the creature rounded the corner causing Steve to stare at it in surprise.

“Oh shit,” Steve said grabbing your hand as he pulled you after him as he ran through the school, duckin down one hallway before emerge down another. You went left before going right and it took you a second to realize you had double backed, heading for cafeteria, trying to get it off your trail, but there was only so many places you could hide in a school. You slid into the kitchen, pausing to catch your breath as Steve thought if the best route.

“In here,” Steve said opening up the freezer door.

You shook your head and gestured to the hall that lead to the gym. “We need to get to the gym, they have a set of doors that leads to the fields. We need to get to the car.”

“There’s no way we are outrunning it, now come on.” He exclaimed pulling you into the freezer before closing the door. You squeezed as far back as you could go, with frozen lunches taking up most of the space, it wasn’t far. It didn’t help that you almost slipped on the ice and if it wasn’t for Steve’s arms around you, you were sure you would have fallen on your ass by now.

“How long do you think we have to be in here?” You whisper.

Steve presses his ear against the door and you couldn’t help but hold your breath. “I think we lost them.”

You let out a sigh of relief and reached for the door, finding that the knob wouldn’t turn.

“Uhh, Harrington we have a problem.”

Steve looked at the door and let out a curse. He tried the door, but was met with the same results.

“You locked us in here.” You screeched,

“If I wanted to get you alone, believe me, I wouldn’t need a locked room.”

“What kind of plan ends with us locked in the freezer?” You demand.

“At the moment it seemed like a good plan, obviously it was not.”

You shot Steve your best stink eye, the one that always sent your brother scrambling to his room, and reached around Steve for the door again.

“In my defense, you didn’t have any better ideas.” Steve shot back.

“Are you serious right now, running away was my idea, yours was to drag me into the freezer and look where that got us.”

“We escaped didn’t we?”

You gesture around the freezer, almost smacking Steve in the face in process by the small size of the storage room. “Except we are now locked in said freezer and nobody knows we are here.”

“I told you it seemed like a good idea at the time, how was I supposed to know the door would lock behind us?”

You slowly massage your temple trying to calm yourself. It really wasn’t Steve’s fault that the door locked behind you, nobody couldn’t have anticipated that happening. It wasn’t just the freezer though, that was putting you on edge, it was the creature with no eyes that had driven you here in the first place. You had never seen something like that before, some sort of reptile, salamander hybrid with a mouth that looked like it could swallow you hole with its rows and rows of teeth. Just the thought of it had you shaking all over again and you didn’t know how Steve was remaining so calm over the entire situation. It didn’t help you were about to freeze to death and if that didn’t kill you than the creature outside sure would.

“Why did you drag me in here in the first place?” You asked

“What? Are you seriously asking me why I saved you?”

“Is that what you call this?” You snap.

“I mean it’s not that bad.”

“How do you figure Harrington?”

“Well, for one, you’re stuck in here with me.”

You groan. “Oh great, I’m going to die.”

“Come on (Y/N), don’t be like that.”

“Like what Steve, like we aren’t about to freeze to death or that.. that, that thing isn’t going to get us.”

You felt the stress bubbling up inside of you, a weight that seemed to press against your chest making it hard to breath. You felt your breathing quicken as the fear set in, you were going to die. You clutched your chest, feeling your heart pound against your hand as dots started to dance in front of your eyes.

“Hey,hey, hey,” Steve said noticing your hitch in breathing. “It’s going to be okay.”

You felt Steve gently take your face in his hands, his palms cupping both your cheeks so all you saw was Steve kind brown eyes.

“I’m not going to let anything hurt you.”

You felt your heart rate slow as you felt your body mirror Steve's breathing. You wanted to believe what Steve was telling you, that you would get out of the freezer, that nothing would hurt you, but there was no guarantees that either would happen. For all you knew, the creature was waiting for you guys to escape just so it could eat you.

“You can’t promise that.” You whisper.

“I promise you that I will do everything in my power to protect you.” He vowed, determination burning in his eyes. He wouldn’t allow anything to hurt, not as long as there was breath in his body.

You gave Steve a small smile, realizing what he was offering you. He was offering you hope, something you didn’t think possible. You watched as Steve slowly lowered his hands and wished more than anything that he kept them there, allowing you to pretend that he cared for you as much as you cared for him.

You felt the icy tendril of the cold for the first time and realized, no longer in Steve's embrace, just how cold it was. It didn’t help that the cotton blouse you were wearing did nothing to protect you from the cold and you couldn’t help but shiver, you body’s way of trying to get warm.

“Are you cold?” Steve asked. 

“I’m fine.” You lied

“Sure you are, but we both know you’re lying, so let’s cut the shit and admit your cold.”

You scowl at Steve crossing your arms. “Yes, I’m cold, happy now?”

Steve shook his head and started shrugging off his jacket. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” You demand.

“What does it look like, I’m giving you my jacket.” He said like it was obvious.

“Why?”

“Because you’re cold,”

“So are you.” You point out.

Steve scuffed. “I don’t get cold that easily, trust me.” He said extending the jacket toward you.

You shook your head and pushed it back toward him. “I’m not taking your coat.”

“(Y/n) please, take the jacket.”

“No.”

“Why are you being so stubborn?”

“Why are you being so stupid?”

You both glare at each other, not wanting to back down and admit that the other one may be right. 

“Clearly the logical course of action is for you to keep the jacket.” You say. Steve opened his mouth to argue but you quickly cut him off. 

“And you... allow me to... wrap my arms around you,” you mumble. 

“What now?”

“Wrap your arms around me. You’re clearly taller than me, allowing us to share body heat easily.”

“What?”

“Hold me Steve, I need you to hold me.” You say. It was simple. There was nothing behind it merely survival. You didn’t have butterflies in your stomach being so close to him, and you weren’t enjoying the way the the smell of his cologne and soap seemed to put you at ease. This was all to survive, until someone found them.

Steve slowly took a step toward you, as if waiting for you to change your mind, before pulling your body against his until you were nestled in his arms. You could hear his heartbeat, feel his hands against your back as his fingers ran up and down your spine, the movement soothing you as well as warming you. 

“Hey if there’s one thing I remember from science class is that the cold makes us sleepy, so don’t go falling asleep on me.”

“You remember science,” you tease. 

“I remember any class we share.”

“That can’t be true.”

“Okay you’re right, I don’t remember anything from the classes we share because you are too damn distracting.”

“I’m... what?”

“Do you know you bite your lip each time you take notes?”

“Do you know when you smile it reaches your eyes and they smile too?”

“Whenever you laugh your face lights up and I can’t look away.”

“You know you run your fingers through your hair when you’re flustered?” You shot back.

You felt his lips collide with yours, your back hitting the freezer wall from the force of the kiss.  His hands moved from your back to your face as he pulled you lips closer, trying to get as close to you as possible. Your fingers slipped into his hair helping him in his quest to get to you. The shelf dug into your back, but for the first time that night you didn’t care about anything but the boy in front of you.

Steve and you slowly separated as he gave you quick pecks on the lips and nose before resting his forehead against yours, trying to catch his breath. You felt a smile make it’s way to your lips, and quickly ducked your head so Steve couldn’t  see.

“God you're beautiful,” Steve whispered noticing the smile on your face, the same one that was on his.

His lips found yours again and you suddenly didn’t care if anybody found you or not. You were with Steve, you were safe, what more was there?

The door opened with a bang and suddenly you were a tangle of limbs as you both fell from the freezer. You don’t know how you ended up on top of Steve but you were encased in his arms as he held you to his chest, protecting you against the fall.

“Dude, what the hell?” Dustin asked looking between you two.

Steve gave your brother a half smile and slowly made his way to his feet before helping you up since he wasn’t about to let you go anytime soon.

“Go.” You heard El say before the group bolted for the nearest door that would take you outside. You watched as Steve took charge, watching everyone file out before slamming the door shut behind them. The kids headed toward the parking lot, trying to put as much distance between them and the school as possible.

“Hey, thanks for the rescue, looks like I owe you guys.” Steve said slowly rubbing his hands up and down your arms, trying to warm you.

You reluctantly stepped out of Steve's embrace and took a few steps away from him, hoping to put some distance between you two before your brother and his friends got the wrong idea. You were sure your cheeks were pink, maybe even red from being caught making out with Steve. The last thing you didn’t need right now was your brother asking you if you and Steve were a thing now when you didn’t even know what was going on.

Steve watched you with a frown as you left his arms to avoid further question from the boys. He understood why you did it, but didn’t agree in the slightest. You needed to get warm before you caught a cold and staying in his arms was the best way of doing so. Steve shrugged out of his jacket and draped it across your shoulders, watching you as you quickly slid your arms down the sleeves and pulling it around you.

“How uhh, how did you guys find us?” Steve asked running his hands through his hair.

You bite your lip to keep from laughing, you could see the slight flush to his cheeks and knew Steve was just as flustered as you were to be caught by a group of fourteen year olds.

“Well when we couldn’t find you we assumed the worst, you know with everything happening we thought the demadog got you.��� Dustin said.

“El found you,” Mike exclaimed interrupting Dustin.

“Dema what?” You asked looking between the kids who were shooting each other looks, and shaking their heads, trying to silently come to an agreement amongst themselves.

“The creature that had us hiding in a freezer,” Steve exclaimed.

“Steve!” Lucas shrieked. “Come on man.”

“What I want to know is why my sister is doing here?” Dustin asked ignoring his friend's outburst.

“What I’m doing here, what about you, what are you doing running around Hawkins chasing monsters, are you trying to get yourself killed?” You hollered.

“Uhhh...no?” Dustin looked toward his friends for backup but found none.

“Then somebody please, tell me what’s going on.”

“Dude, you can’t tell her,” Lucas said.

“Come on, she already knows.” Max cut in.

“What the hell is going on?” You demanded.

Steve held up his hands, silencing the group. “Alright, Alright. I know we all have questions, but they are going to have to wait.”

The kids started to protest, talking over each other as they tried to be heard, but Steve cut them off.

“I’m not hearing it, come on guys, (Y/N) and I were just stuck in a freezer and need to warm up.”

You felt your cheeks heat up at the idea of warming up with Steve; his hands on you, his lips trailing kisses down your neck and over your shoulder- You shook your head and mistakenly met Steve’s knowing gaze and playful smile.

“Dude!” Dustin exclaimed. 

“Dude, your sister is frozen, now you’re all more than happy to crash at my place, my -“

Steve couldn’t even finish his sentence before the kids excitedly started talking over one another about all the things they were gonna do that night. Steve could only shake his head at the idea of them sprawled out in his living room floor, he was the one who offered in the first place. 

Steve rolled his eyes and opened the back passenger door. “Alright guys, hop in.”

You watched the kids filed into the car and made a move to your own when you felt Steve’s arms wrap around you before he buried his head into your neck. 

“Where do you think you’re going?” He whispers. 

“To my car?” You answer like it obvious. You let out a shriek as he spins you around so he can gaze at you. 

Steve shook his head. “Didn’t you hear, slumber party at my house.”

“I may have been there for that,” you say slipping your hands into his back pockets.

“Good, because I’m not letting you out of my sight.” Steve said placing a kiss to your lips, the sound of disgust and groans sounding behind you, but you didn’t care. 

You were with Steve. You were safe.

GRIMPEE DU PILAT

A Pélussin, le 28 septembre 2019

    Samedi dernier c’est déroulé la 6eme édition de la grimpée du Pilat organisée par l’Ecole des Grimpeurs chère à Nicolas Buisson. Petit changement de date cette année puisque plusieurs éléments contraires fin juin ont obligé de décaler l’épreuve et c’est finalement ce 28/09 qui avait été logiquement retenu car nous sommes en pleine période de grimpées chronos. Autre modification à signaler, c’est le format de la course : exit le CLM individuel et bonjour la Mass Start, départ groupé donc, et c’est très rare dans le coin !

    Vainqueur de la 1ere et 5eme édition de cette course c’est avec plaisir que j’y reviens d’autant que la date colle parfaitement avec mon calendrier ! Toujours en bonne condition j’aborde l’épreuve en confiance sans négliger un bon échauffement d’une petite heure sur les routes de la course du Prix du Pavé d’Affinois autour de Pélussin. Après avoir laissé le superflu à la voiture me voilà allégé au maximum pour rejoindre la ligne de départ où je retrouve Nicolas, Antony Cheytion, Claude Costechareyre ou Alexandre Perier.

La grimpée du Pilat est une des plus difficile montée du secteur : nous aurons 10 km @ 7% de moyenne pour nous départager. La montée est très régulière avec juste 2km plus pentus sur la fin et les 800 derniers mètres en faux plat pour atteindre le col de l’Oeillon à 1233m d’altitude.

Segment strava de la montée

A 10h30 le départ est donné pile à l’heure ; en première ligne je lance la course sans attendre. A 30km/h dans les 1ers hectomètres, je me calme un peu pour prendre un rythme très soutenu comme pour un contre la montre. Je souhaite durcir la course de suite car 10km et moins de 30’ d’effort ce n’est pas forcément assez long pour temporiser. Sans me retourner je sens que du monde suit (plus ou moins péniblement) derrière et après le 1er km je lance une violente attaque : une bonne trentaine de seconde à 26km/h et tout explose. Quand je me retourne seul un coureur à pris ma roue (le jeune Maxime Richard) alors qu’Antony fait l’effort. Malgré une nouvelle accélération il parvient à rentrer et nous voilà 3.

J’imprime toujours seul le rythme avec encore une ou deux accélérations jusqu’à atteindre l’entrée dans la forêt après 3km. Un peu plus loin je tente une nouvelle attaque assez franche mais me fait contrer par Maxime ! Alors que j’attends la réaction d’Antony, je vois qu’il lâche prise alors que j’ai repris un bon tempo : après 4km nous voilà dans la configuration que j’espérai ; tous seul face à la pente, à la différence que j’aurai aimé être celui qui ouvre la route ! Maxime à vite pris 15’’ mais l’écart se stabilise ; très efficace, bien assis sur ma selle et en cadence je me pointe qu’à 10’’ à la Croix du Collet. Il reste alors 4 bons km avec la partie la plus pentue et je me dis que mon adversaire peut flancher s’il a trop donné ! Me sachant capable de garder mon allure, je ne regarde plus derrière et grignote mètre après mètre. Aux 3km alors qu’on atteint les % les plus rudes je suis à 5’’ et ça ne fait plus aucun doute que je vais revenir ; c’est chose faite un peu plus loin où je n’ai pas d’autre choix que d’attaquer !

Un bon passage tout en forte vélocité ne décroche pas mon homonyme : bien qu’encore jeune il a très bien géré en ne se mettant pas dans le rouge coute que coute pour rester en tête. Pour moi ça devient difficile et je redoute une arrivée à deux. Je tente bien de hausser le ton dans le dernier km difficile mais mon rival tient bon. Aussitôt le replat atteint, il me surprend en attaquant de très loin ; mon petit temps de réaction ajouté à mon punch final légendaire fait le reste et je me retrouve vite à 50m. Même si je rivalise ensuite, je ne comblerai pas ce petit écart sur les 500 derniers mètres en faut plat et passe la ligne 2eme à 7’’ du vainqueur et avec une bonne marge sur Antony qui finit 3eme à 1’30.

Avec un chrono de 27’22 je réalise une performance que je pensai impossible : avec les 27’15 de Maxime on bat tous les deux assez nettement le record de la montée d’un certain Mickael Gallego (27’40 en 2015). Personnellement c’est 1’15 de mieux que l’an dernier où j’avais établi mon meilleur chrono : cela confirme ma très belle année où j’ai passé un cap ! Aucun regret donc à avoir : j’ai tout tenté pour la victoire et ce fut une belle bagarre. Peut être qu’en CLM individuel ça aurait pu passer car j’aurai pu établir le même temps puisque je n’ai jamais profité du train d’un coureur ou d’un abri lors de la montée, mais ça on ne le saura jamais !
