Posting Date: October 5, 2023

Summary: Cas is fifteen. He has nothing except a dead mom, a drunk dad, a new-old hometown where he doesn’t quite fit, and a part-time job at the Winchester Family Pharmacy.

Excerpt: Over the course of four hours, Cas serves up two more milkshakes, a root beer float, and a handful of freshly mixed sodas. He also makes just under three dollars in tips. Mary shows up toward the end of his shift. She doesn’t even drop off her stuff first, just immediately walks up to Cas at the counter, takes a seat, and asks how his first day went. “It was good,” Cas says. He glances over Mary’s shoulder and watches as Dean rings up a customer. “Informative.” “Pretty straightforward, right?” “Yes,” Cas nods, full of conviction. He takes it seriously. This is a place of business after all. Mary smiles at him. “And Dean didn’t give you any trouble?” Cas shakes his head just as quickly and averts his eyes. “He was very helpful.” And just like that, Dean’s standing in front of him. “Course I was. I should be the mascot for all family-owned drug stores.” Mary gives him a look and Dean drops the act, somewhat. “Kid did great. He’ll be running the place by the end of the summer.” Mary looks back at him, proud, and it almost takes Cas out to have someone look at him with that much pride. Even at her best, his mom never looked at him like that. “Let me grab you a uniform,” Mary says. “We keep some extras in the back.” He watches her head into the backroom and looks back at Dean. “By the way, tips are usually shared among the staff,” Dean says. “For future reference.” “Oh,” Cas says, immediately reaching into his pocket to pull out the cash. Dean shakes his head. “Keep it, dude. It’s barely anything. Besides, you did all the work.” “Are you sure?” “Positive.” Cas nods, depositing the cash back in his pocket. He stands there another second wondering if he should say anything, or if he can get away with signing out and then leaving. He wonders what Dean will get up to for the rest of the day. He spent most of his down time during their shift studying. Cas wonders if he was getting his studying out of the way now in case he has plans later. “Hey,” Dean says, grabbing his attention back. “Don’t be offended if I ignore you at school.” “Oh,” Cas says. He shrinks in on himself. Sometimes he feels so young. “Yeah.” Dean shrugs like it’s no big deal. Maybe it isn’t, to him. To Cas, it feels like someone stomped on his heart. “See you around, kid.” Cas watches him leave, like he didn’t leave something shattered in his wake.

Howdy! Could we get a member introduction? I’d love to get to know y’all’s names and pronouns ^^

We actually did an essay and interview for the queer horror zine The Quiet Ones last year where we shared some fun intros! I've included screenshots of our intros here, but if you have a chance, you should check out the zine as well: it's run by a delightful group of queer authors and editors.

Here's the link to the issue with the Forgetmenauts feature: our bit starts on page 47.

(Fun fact: Kit is also an author and has had a couple of their short stories published in other issues of the zine, under their full name of Katharine Gripp. They're here and here if you want to check them out!)

Image text below the cut:

Walker Staples (they/them) Instrument(s): Guitar/Banjo/Vocals

Favorite scary movie or book: Let the Right One In.

Favorite cryptid: Jackalope. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I think it's gonna be Tyler; most resources, best equipped for building booby traps.

Tyler Gary (he/him) Instrument(s): Clarinet, Saxophone, Trombone, Keys. Favorite scary movie or book: Recently I read Mexican Gothic and while it wasn't my all time favorite, it definitely captured some good haunting creepy vibes. Would recommend for the mushroom horror.

Favorite cryptid: The chupacabra. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I'd be the second or third to die. “Quick everybody, I have a plan! All we have to do is...“ *Dies in a horrible dramatic way*. I think Abe would be last to die. He would disappear early on and we would think he's dead but he actually just went on a hike and came back at the end.

Abe Finkelstein (he/him) Instrument(s): Cello, un-mic'd backup vocals and banter, howling. Favorite scary movie or book: Oryx and Crake. And I listened to a great podcast about Midsommar but will probably never have the guts to watch it.

Favorite cryptid: The Baba Yaga house. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Definitely Emma. She lives on a sailboat and is a great problem solver, and good at engineering. You might think I was on a hike but I was actually dead the WHOLE time.

Danielle (she/her) Instrument(s): Drums!

Favorite scary movie or book: I am scared easily and don't really watch horror movies! You

didn't ask about this, but my favorite scary-ish video games are The Last of Us and Dead Space.

Favorite cryptid: Loveland frog. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Walker, they would out-maneuver the attacker/swarm/ pathogen/whatever the horror of the horror movie is.

Kit Gripp (they/she) Instrument(s): Mandolin, vocals.

Favorite scary movie or book: Sunshine by Robin McKinley (ok so it’s not that scary but there’s lots of blood and vampires, so it counts).

Favorite cryptid: Nessie. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Probably Collin. If it were something corporeal, he'd knock it out with a baseball bat. If it were an angry ghost, he'd talk to it and de-escalate the situation.

Emma Williams Instrument(s): Bass.

Favorite scary movie or book: House of Leaves.

Favorite cryptid: Selkie. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: I think Walker would be the most likely to survive because they are very nimble and quick.

Collin (he/him) Instrument(s): Drums!

Favorite scary movie or book: Hard to pick a favorite scary movie! Maybe Let the Right One In (the original one). It's rare that horror films are at once so beautiful, disturbing, and sympathetic to the villain.

Favorite cryptid: Michigan Dogman. Who in the band is most likely to survive a horror movie, and why?: Kit survives the horror movie, for sure. Zombie flick? Kit decapitates the shambling hordes with lethal pirouettes. Teen slasher film? Kit distracts the villain with some concocted-on-the- spot YA fiction just long enough that he doesn't even notice he's walking right into his own poetic and ironic death. Vampire horror show? Please. Kit was the vampire. Kit was always the vampire.

Perfect To Love Part 13

Pairing: Steve Harrington x FemReader!PlusSize

Warnings: fluff, mentions of bullying, body image issues, fat shaming, angst, trust issues, language.

Summary: Beth Walker was used to living in the shadows. She had only one friend and anyone else who paid her mind usually bullied her for her size. So she learned to keep her mouth shut, her head down, and her heart closed because she had to accept the fact that she would be nothing more than the fat girl to people. That is until Robin decides Beth needs more in life and that might just include a boy who she never would’ve thought could see her for who she truly was.

word count: 2,223

Part 12 ←→ Part 14

Masterlist

Beth hated when the corvette went away. It meant dreadful cold months, slush, mud, freezing temperatures, and driving her beat up Ford Escort. There were only two things that were magical about this time of year, one being her December Birthday, and two being the first snowfall. That just so happened to be today, feather light but clear white flakes fluttering to the ground. In just a week it would be Thanksgiving but the snow had her mind fully set on Christmas. Now that she had friends she was excited to buy them presents, spend her birthday and holiday with someone who mattered.

So when she saw that snowfall outside the window at work she knew the minute she was done she had to rush over to Family Video to see Robin and Steve. Once she finished the last car she had been helping her Dad with she barely washed the grease from her hands before rushing to her Escort and starting the engine which stuttered in the chilly weather. A wide smile was painted across her face as she went through town, the thinnest layer of snow covering all the local stores. She pulled into employee parking behind Family Video, used to letting herself in now that she had been spending so much time there.

“I can’t believe how well this all worked out with Beth” Beth froze before she shoved through the back room door, curious about the sentence she heard come from Robins mouth.

“It really did” Steves raspy voice agreed and she heard Robins all familiar chuckle through the door.

“Like all I asked of you was to hang out with her a few times, raise her popularity status, but this is even better” Robin said and Beth felt her heart drop into her stomach. It would’ve been better off falling to the floor and shattering in a million pieces.

“She seems happy, it was a good plan Rob. It worked out for everyone” Steve agreed and somehow this hurt even more, squeezing the rest of the life out of her heart. Tears burned at the back of her eyes as she realized something.

Steve never noticed her on his own, and if Robin never asked he never would have. He had been doing things with her to help his friend Robin, and all Beth was, was an experiment. A way to take the sad fat girl and give her some life. Robins intentions may have been kind but finding out that all of this meant nothing was the worst heart break of all.

‘I ended up with Steve because he got to know me without someone asking him too, and that makes all the difference’

The words she had yelled to Colin rung through her ears and finally she let the tears fall, rushing from the door before she heard anymore and back out to her car. Her stupid old beater car with rusty wheel wells and creaking brakes. Tears searing her skin in the cold weather, and she felt a months worth of pain over being the unwanted fat girl hit her all at once. She could barely see through blurred vision as she fought with the car to start and when the engine finally rumbled to life she drove as fast and far away from the dreaded video store as she could.

“I know Steve, I’ve never seen you this happy” Robin told the boy once he finished rewinding the last tape on his stack.

“I don’t think I ever have been this happy, she’s the best. If you had never asked me to meet her then I’m not sure where I would be right now” Steve told Robin earnestly and she smiled.

“It’s good to have my two best friends so happy and in love. Sure as hell makes my life easier” Robin teased and Steve rolled his eyes at the girl.

“Yeah, now maybe if you ask Vickie out we can all be happy” Robin glared at the boy but didn’t take it much to heart. She knew he wanted her happy too. When she had asked him to get to know Beth she expected maybe a month of faking it but he really came to like her on his own and now he was happy as could be. He just wanted that for her too.

“I’m perfectly fine Harrington, I’m just where I need to be right now” Robin told him truthfully and he nodded, accepting this answer.

"I think we all are" Robin knew his words carried some weight, the mall fight only a mere four months ago. For the first time in those four months they had all been content, no threat of other world monsters impending their doom upon them. They were in the calm, all of them stable for the first time. They knew it wouldn't be long until the next threat, Hawkins wasn't that forgiving, but for now they were happy and things were normal. That made all the difference.

"You ever think about telling Beth everything?" Robin questioned, the secrets and monsters of Hawkins ont he forefront of her mind.

"Sometimes but then I think as long as there is no impending doom maybe this time we'll be lucky. Maybe the monsters won't come back and there is no use letting her think we're crazy if we end up lucky enough to avoid the fight forever" Steve said, clearly having this thought before. He had a lot of trauma over the years but he had learned to live with it. He hoped Beth would never have to. That he could tell her the nightmares of Hawkins years from now and laugh, he saw no point in scaring her. Telling her the truth behind the endless local deaths.

"That's true, I always worry though. Sometimes I feel like that part of us can never be understood by someone who didn't expereince it. If that's the case does that mean we can never fully connect with someone for the rest of our lives?" Robin questioned into the quiet night air. The lonely thursday night making for a silent shift surrounding them.

"Maybe, maybe not. I think it depends on how much we let those things haunt us" Steve answered, having those same thoughts himself. He was so sick of trauma bonding with everyone, Nancy, Dustin, Robin. The person he spent the rest of his life with he wanted to bond with normally and then be strong enough to face the trauma together.

"I think about it once a day" Robin answered honestly and Steve gave her a thin lipped smile.

"Me too, but it's only been four months. Give it time" he told her, a comforting hand landing on her shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze. Robin smiled back, content with his answer before hopping off the counter to go put away the tapes Steve had finished rewinding. She hoped it would be another year until anything crazy happened again but somewhere deep inside she knew they wouldn't be that lucky. They'd be lucky if they got another four months.

When Beth got home she was rushing through the door seconds after the engine cut, the door slamming behind her pushing back the gust of first snow wind. Her mother startled from the couch, eyeing the girl with rosy cheeks, runny nose, and teary eyes. Before she could say anything Beth was running up the stairs, shoes still on her feet. She locked the door behind her before kicking off her shoes and jacket and flopping into her bed. She hadn't bothered with the light, it was dark but she still could feel for her Kermit stuffed animal that she hugged tightly to her body the minute she was wraped in the covers. Her eyes settled on the window where she could see the street lamp illuminating the soft flurry of snow that came down outside. It was beautiful but she could care less because everything hurt.

"Bethany, are you okay?" her mothers knocks sounded at the door and Beth curled up into her bed even more.

"Leave me alone Mom" Beth yelled back, trying to keep her voice steady and hide the misery she was in.

"Do you need me to call Robin? Maybe Steve?" her Mom questioned and Beth felt more tears fall from her eyes, the warmth of them stinging her chill bitten cheeks.

"I don't want to talk to either of them ever again!" Beth's voice was sharp, angry, and Allie stumbled back from the door shocked and a little scared. Beth had been doing so well, had so many friends, and if she was upset with Robin and Steve what would she do then? Allie took the message and scurried away from the door, not wanting to bother her anymore.

Allie kept calm when Alan showed up from work, she was in the middle of making dinnfer she assumed Beth wasn't about to attend and when he asked where she was he accepted the answer of doing homework in her room. It was all avoidable until the phone rang on the kitchen wall and Allie rushed to it before Alan could, him giving her a confused look but allowing it nonetheless. "Mrs. Walker, is Beth home?"

"Sorry Steve, she uh..." Allie thought for a moment, unsure of what to say. She wanted to protect her daughter but she didn't want her to go back to the sad lonely girl she once was. "She doesn't want to talk to you"

"What?" Steve's heart stuttered and Allie clenched her eyes shut as she heard the pain come from the boys mouth.

"I dont know Steve, she came home upset and when I asked that was what she told me" Steve replayed all his moments with her this past week, he hadn't seen her since yesterday night and she had given him about a hundred goodbye kisses before finally leaving. What could have possibly hapened between now and then?

"Could I come over?" he started to ask and Allie sighed as she looked at Alan who now wore an angry look.

"I don't think it's a good idea, catch her after school tomorrow" Allie told him and Steve nodded even though she couldn’t see him.

"Thanks Mrs. Walker. Have a nice night" Steve finally said and her heart ached for the boy.

"You too Steve" and then she was hanging up the phone and turning to her husband who sat at the kitchen table, arms crossed over his chest.

"She came home upset?" Alan asked, a hundred ways of torturing Steve crossing his mind.

"Yes" Allie whispered and Alan felt his entire head turn hot with anger, she had left the shop, told him she was going to see Steve before kissing his cheek goodbye. Now she was upstairs, upset, and claiming she didn't want to talk to Steve. He could kill him for whatever it was he tried with his daughter.

"Why that-" and Alan was angrily standing and Allie was grabbing his arm, pulling him back from running off and making things worse.

“Look we don’t know what happened, he sounded confused on the phone. Like he had no idea why” Allie pleaded, keeping her husband from bothering Beth or murdering Steve.

“I’m sure he knows why, that’s what guys like him do. They mess with girls just because they think they’re so much better than them!” Alan’s voice boomed and Beth flinched from upstairs, hearing her fathers every word and it bringing more tears to her eyes. She should have known, he had already hurt her once. He didn’t change.

“You don’t know that Alan! Not for sure” Allie said and he finally stopped, his shoulders slumping. He used to be that guy, so popular in high school that he figured the rest of life would come along so much easier.

“Yes I do” he said and then he was shaking his wife off his arm and heading towards the living room. He wanted to watch some TV and not think about this for a little while.

Allies shoulders dropped as she realized she lost both of them for dinner. Finishing it up before putting it in a container and setting it in the fridge. At some point they’d both be hungry and need a home cooked meal. She ate by herself and hoped soon enough things could go back to happy because they had been doing really well around here. Ever since Robin, Nancy, and Steve showed up. She hadn’t seen Beth that happy in at least two years.

Beth decided that night she wasn’t going to school the next day. She couldn’t face Robin and pretend she didn’t know what she did to her. Robin may have meant no harm but finding out she made Steve hang out with her, that Steve was faking it all was the worst heart break she could’ve ever experienced. Even though it wasn’t true, she didn’t know that Steve came into his own feelings about her, even if Robin did ask him to get to know her. How could she when she was pretty sure she never fully trusted him after that one day? The one day that ruined the rest of her days forever. She should’ve figured he was bound to do it again.
