Ballet Ronance au 🩰

The party is accepted into the American Ballet Academy, a prestigious ballet school that feeds directly into the American Ballet Company. The only problem? Openings are sparse, competition is tough, and emotions are high.

They fall apart, and fall in love, all at once.

CHAPTER 8 IS (finally) UP!!!

this ones erica-centric, its mostly fluff, girls night :) i had a lot of trouble characterizing erica though please help

[morganbritton132]

Eddie doesn’t post much over Parents weekend. When he does post, it’s a picture to the Official Corroded Coffin twitter account of Wayne rocking a vintage CC sweatshirt (vintage as in Eddie made it for him before the band even existed).

Overly invested fans don’t have to fret though because whereas Eddie isn’t posting, the kids are.

Every year they fill out bingo cards with Very Specific Things that they think will happen over the course of the weekend and play to see who gets bingo first. This all plays out across their TikTok accounts because the rule is: if you don’t get a video, it didn’t happen (the rule was made after the cheating scandal of 2016).

The game is always centered around whoever is hosting so this round is Steddie-centric. So, no one makes it obvious that Steve’s mom clearly didn’t show up, but if you’re invested enough in his mama drama than you’d pick up on everybody’s effort to keep him engaged enough that he doesn’t really have to think about it.

(1) The first to get a piece on the board are El, Mike, and Lucas. They manage to catch on video Claudia Henderson fully lifting Steve off his feet when she hugs him. You get three different angles of Dustin next to them with the most ‘are you shitting me?’ look on his face because she hugged Steve first.  This is a staple of these events. It happens every time. Everybody had it on their bingo cards but the others didn’t get it on camera. 

(2) Will has ‘Karen says something that would’ve gotten Steve’s neighbor burned at the stake’ on his card. He posts a TikTok of Karen referring to Steve and Eddie’s salt and pepper shakers as ‘kitschy.’ Steve smiles and says, “I know! Eddie picked them out.”

(3) ‘Eddie stands on a table’ was banned from being on the card because it has happened at every single event ever. ‘Eddie falling off a table and being caught by Steve’ however? Very specific. Weird it happened. Lucas gets points, but also a little side eye.

(4)It’s not going to win Erica any points, but she posts a video of her mom talking to Robin about finding her a good man. Now, don’t get her wrong. Sue Sinclair’s LGBT+ ally-ship is only rivaled by Joyce Byers, but she never remembers that Robin is a lesbian and Robin is always too awkward to correct her. It’s like watching two robots have a conversation because Sue mentions that Dustin is single and Robin is just like, “And…short?”

Eddie is not in the video but you can hear his wheezy laugh next to her. Erica’s just like, “Would you use your inhaler or die somewhere else?”

(5)Dustin posts a video of Steve standing by the window, clearly lost in thought as he stares out at the road. You can see Eddie sneaking up from a distance but instead of scaring Steve, he takes him by the hand and spins him around so they’re facing one another. Dustin isn’t close enough to hear what they’re saying but you can hear him mutter ‘gross’ when Eddie presses Steve up against the window to kiss him.

Steve’s the one to pull Eddie towards the stairs going to the studio, but they don’t actually make it down them because Hopper pulls Steve away to talk to him. There’s an argument between the party in the comments of the video of if this counts as ‘Steve and Eddie sneak off to make out like teenagers in the studio’ because they don’t actually succeed in sneaking away.

(6) Every single person playing gets a video of Hopper looking at Eddie and asking if he’s on drugs. Eddie says, “I don’t doOoOo drugs, Dad. It’s just marijuana.”

Dustin gets an extra point for catching Steve’s eye roll. Eddie has repeated that phrase at least a hundred times since Dustin told him about the Russian elevator.

(7) Max and Dustin both score a point with ‘Steve and El pull a “prank” on Eddie’ and it’s just Steve very confidently claiming that he can roll a nat 20 easy-peasy just by rolling the dice in a special way. Eddie obviously calls bullshit and then Steve rolls a 20 three times in a row.

After the fourth time, Eddie narrows his eyes at Steve and then spins around until he spots El on the other side of the room and points at her like “YOU!!!” No one watching understands this video. There are fights in the comments about what the hell is even happening here.

(8) Max is the only one with ‘Eddie says ACAB’ on her card. She posts a video of her handwritten card and then pans the camera up to Eddie. They’re all sitting around a bonfire later in the evening. Steve’s practically in Eddie’s lap as Eddie says, “-exactly what I mean, ACAB! All cops are bastards!”

Steve: Not Hopper

Eddie: Especially Hopper! Are you kidding me? Do you know how much weed he stole from me?

(9) Mike catches Steve and Eddie sharing a cigarette on the front porch later that night. It’s only after someone edits the video to remove the sound of the wind that you can kinda hear Steve say ‘It’s just that this is kinda it, right? I opened the door and she slammed it in my face.’

Most of the conversation is inaudible, but Joyce catching them and taking the cigarette from them is not. Neither is her shooing them back inside and finishing the cigarette herself.

(10) The party members all end up staying the night and everybody sleeps in the living room since Hopper and Joyce have Steve and Eddie’s bedroom and Wayne has the guest room. Steve and Eddie sleep on the couch because Eddie’s back can’t handle the floor. Max and Lucas get an air mattress, and Dustin claims the other side of the couch with El since they’re the only single people there. Everybody else is on the floor

Max wins bingo with a one-two punch the following morning with Mike complaining that Steve stepped on him with his big ass sleepwalking feet and Dustin posting a picture to his Instagram of him, Claudia, and Steve with the caption “best moms a guy could have.”

Rating: Gen Relationship: Erica Sinclair & Lucas Sinclair Notes: Post-Season 4, Erica Sinclair centric

“Erica,” says her mom, says her dad, says Lucas, and Erica doesn’t know how to say that it hasn’t occurred to her for a second to do things any other way.

READ ON AO3 HERE

this is a fill for my stranger things fic bingo square 'erica sinclair' - (if you wanna participate in the bingo, check out my pinned post!!)

“Erica!” says her music teacher and Erica doesn’t know why she sounds so surprised.

It’s not like she said anything that wasn’t true. She never does.

“Erica!” says Auntie Patrice and pulls her back by her collar.

Erica’s always thought that honesty is the good thing, the right thing, the thing other people would appreciate.

“Erica!” says Tanya on the playground.

She’s eleven and then she’s twelve and somewhere along the way it’s all changed. Her name become an exclamation she doesn’t get.

“Erica,” says her mom, says her dad, says Lucas, and Erica doesn’t know how to say that it hasn’t occurred to her for a second to do things any other way.

•

Here’s the thing: she isn’t trying to be rude.

Sure, she doesn’t care super care if she is, but it’s pretty much never her goal. Besides, shouldn’t it all be based on truth? Truth, justice, the American way. Erica can’t be the only one who pays attention to this stuff.

Sometimes it bugs her friends and they fight. They always make up in the end, but the days they don’t talk still suck.

She’s good in school, so her teachers don’t complain too much but when they have the time they tell her to be careful about running her mouth. Those days suck, too.

Her mom tells her, though – at night when she tucks Erica into bed even though she’s getting way too old for that – that she shouldn’t be anyone but who she is. That she shouldn’t let the world make her into someone else. (Erica doesn’t totally get it. How would that even work? There’s nothing in the world that she’d allow to change her, she’s sure. She doesn’t know where she’d begin.)

So, despite the chidings her mother doles out, Erica knows that she wants her daughter to be herself.

It’s a good thing, too, because Erica really likes being Erica.

•

The swelling of Lucas’ face still hasn’t gone down. Mom and dad fret over it, but the whole of Hawkins has been plunged into chaos and it’s easy to say that he and Erica and Max were in an accident when the quake hit. It’s not even that much of a lie.

Erica does most of the deflecting because her brother can’t be trusted these days. Not that she can blame him – although she still tries to give him grief. Can’t give up on everything normal.

But Max looks awful in that hospital bed, still and horrible. She’s meant to be her brother’s girlfriend who’s much too cool for him, on her skateboard, moving and teasing and fitting in at their house where she likes to watch TV. At least she used to before she stopped coming around. (Lucas never talked about that, at least not to her which makes sense. He still got those pathetic mooning eyes when she came up, though, so Erica knows it wasn’t his choice to break up. And he had hope the whole time. She could tell. He still has hope now and there’s something warm about it that Erica doesn’t know how to name.)

Yeah, Erica really hates that hospital room. It smells terrible, looks worse and there’s always some machine beeping in the background.

But there’s nowhere else to be. Lucas spends every possible moment in that room. The others come to visit when they can. They can only spare so many party members. Sometimes Max’s mother’s there but more often than not it’s just them, Max and Erica and Lucas.

A sick inverse of Saturday mornings spent on the couch where Lucas pretended not to be interested in her cartoons. Where Max would pretend like she didn’t enjoy her mother’s valiant efforts to feed her. Being a teenager involves a lot of pretending, Erica’s learned. It seems beyond exhausting.

Now it’s them playing checkers over Max’s hospital bed, commentating the whole way, before Lucas gets out Tolkien. They finished up The Talisman two days ago.

Today he hesitates. Doesn’t open his stupid Hobbit book and launches into reading.

There’s a heavy silence and when he speaks his voice is all torn up.

“I didn’t save her.” His fingers scratch at the cover, but his eyes are glued to Max’s still, waxy face. “We promised her we wouldn’t miss our shot but we didn’t—” He makes a choking sound like a sob.

There’s a twist in Erica’s chest, sour or like a burn.

“When she wakes up… I don’t know how she could forgive me.”

It’s the rawest Erica thinks she’s ever seen him. It’s unsettling and makes the biting feeling behind her ribs worse. She doesn’t want this to happen. Lucas is the big brother and big brothers aren’t supposed to fall apart.

They can be poked and prodded and provoked and they’ll yell and take their He-Man dolls back and they’ll lie for their sisters about the stain on the good carpet once threatened.

This isn’t right.

The helplessness in his eyes is contagious. It crawls up her arms, immobilizing her inch by inch. If Lucas doesn’t know what to do in this room, how is she supposed to know what to do in this room?

Her brother is broken in this moment, much like Hawkins. They have the same scars. Like he was torn apart with it.

So, she tells him the only thing she ever tells anyone: the truth.

“Well, that’s stupid.”

His head shoots up. He frowns but he doesn’t say anything. He’s listening to her, Erica realizes, like she has an answer he wants to hear.

Everything gets so weird when the world ends.

“That’s what Max would say, and you know it. Stop being stupid.” She’s standing on the opposite side of the bed from where he’s sitting. They bring their own water bottles because the hospital is overflowing still and can’t spare the glasses. Erica puts her bottle (pink to Lucas’ green, mom bought them together) back into their backpack. “You did everything you could. I don’t know how you guys survived ‘til high school. We all knew the risk. Max was never gonna let other people take the fall. It was a dangerous plan, but who else was gonna do anything?”

It's bitter in the back of her throat. She’d looked at the group of them, in that van, before they got to Creel House, and she’d felt cold inside. Everyone they had, everyone willing to fight, had looked so young. Unqualified. Inexperienced.

Child endangerment, she’d told Dustin and Robin an eternity ago. That’s all this town really is now. The evidence lies with them right here in this room.

There’s still something in her that’s constricted. Those words were all she had. She doesn’t know what she’ll do if Lucas pushes back, if it’s not enough.

Slowly, she tears her eyes away from the lonely backpack by the side of Max’s bed.

Lucas has the tiniest smile on his face.

“Erica,” he says, and it sounds like thank you.

Though, not one was good enough for that man. But Susan…Susan had been the one that married that man the longest. Not that Billy had stuck around to find out if they stayed together or if Neil threw her out like the rest of the other “hussies” as he called them. He finally ran away at the age of 16, having had enough. And Susan? Susan watched every time Neil laid a hand on him. Her eyes were emotionless when Neil screamed at him, calling him a sodomite and the son of a whore. When she wasn’t watching, she pretended that he had never existed. ​

Find the Word

Find the words from the list in your WIPs and post the paragraphs they belong to.

I was tagged by @musicalchaos07 to find the following words: choose, shy, think, glance, night.

Choose

(from Tomorrow's a Long Way Off)

“No,” Robin admitted. Who wouldn’t choose Gail's warm embrace over being called a freakishly long-fingered sex murderer? “Hey, what are your five favorite movies?”

Shy

(from Tomorrow's a Long Way Off)

It was such a small thing to find out: that Jonathan’s younger brother—a person she’d already heard of—was a shy little kid with a favorite candy and nice (if loud) friends. Most kids had friends and liked candy, and not all of them were pains in the ass. Yet the picture she had of Jonathan in her head was shifting. The easy affection in his voice when he spoke about his brother—the fact that he cared about something as small as the kid getting to pick out the kind of candy he wanted. And they both lived in a house where the police sometimes had to be called, in a town that talked about them for sport. 

Think

(from Tomorrow's a Long Way Off)

But the next song was “Let’s Dance.” And, all right, Jonathan would fully admit to being shocked when an actually good song became very, very popular, given the general preference for annoying arena rock and cheesy love ballads by washed-up pop stars from the sixties, but he wasn’t so pretentious that he’d stop liking the song. The bass line was just way too good, and David Bowie’s voice was way too—there was no other way he could think to put it—sexy. 

Glance

(from Tonight, Tonight, the Highway's Bright)

Nancy glanced out the window. Another figure had joined Lucas outside: a redheaded girl on a skateboard, wearing jeans and a yellow hooded sweatshirt. Lucas was making lazy circles around her, and she was laughing. She looked like Billy Hargrove’s little sister, although from a distance it was hard to say for sure. Then again, not many girls in Hawkins skateboarded. 

Night

(from Save the Last Dance for Me, my Lucas-centric one-shot)

He wondered if she had nightmares, too, and then turned over his pillow. He couldn’t think about that tonight. Erica was fine and Steve’s face had healed and Billy Hargrove was dead in the ground. And he, Lucas Sinclair, was alive.

[weirdo09]

baby sinclair

a erica sinclair-centric fic

when erica heard the news of a new sibling, she didn’t really know how to feel about it. inside, she was ecstatic, secretly hoping that it would be a girl so they could both torment lucas. but on the other hand, it would be disappointing that she would no longer be the youngest. besides that, erica didn’t let the ruin her happy mood…yet.

a few weeks after, her mom told her and lucas to go out and get some things for her from the convenient store. the both of them groaned not wanting to leave the house on a saturday of all days but as soon as mrs. sinclair shot them a look, they were off. erica replayed what her mom said about the trip in her head, ‘it’ll be fun, some quality time with your brother won’t hurt, besides you are gonna be a big sister soon.’ she scoffed at the memory, of course she knew that it was just that she didn’t really want to think of that yet. her and lucas walked in silence until lucas said something. “hey, erica you remember this place?” erica turned her head to the direction of where lucas was pointing and surely, she did remember. it was a ma and pa shop that they used to go to all the time, they had the best snacks and it always smelt like peach cobbler.

“oh yeah, i do.” erica replied, reminiscing. lucas smiled then she smiled back and they continued walking. “so, how do you feel about being a big sister?” lucas asked curiously. erica scoffed before saying “wow, i didn’t think you wanted my opinion on it.” lucas gasped and playfully placed a hand on his chest. “wow, erica you really hurt me, you know that?” he said before bursting in fits of laughter, erica soon followed suit. “you know, i really missed hanging out with you.” lucas said after eventually calming down. erica looked up at him and smiled. “i did too.” “ i guess mom was right when she said us spending quality time together wouldn’t hurt.” lucas admitted, erica chuckled. “mom woulda got you if she heard you say that, you know she’s always right.” erica said, playfully rolling her eyes. lucas guffawed “she would, wouldn’t she?” he said.

soon after that conversation, they made it to their destination. “why would she send us here?” erica asked, confused. “well, looking at this list it should have everything we need.” lucas said, looking down at the list then the sign. they walked in, some people glancing at them. “stay close to me.” lucas whispered, grabbing erica’s hand. erica wanted to let go in fear of the people inside thinking that she was a little kid but she didn’t try when lucas tighten his grip. they walked over to certain aisles, getting the stuff on the list. as they were heading to the checkout, a man stopped them. “what are you kids doing here?” he bellowed, anger searing from his tone. erica looked at lucas and he looked at her. “just shopping, sir, like everyone else here.” lucas said in a firm voice, standing his ground. the man looked them up and down, sneering at them before leaving to do who knows what. they didn’t speak until they were outside.

“what was that guy’s problem?” erica asked, lucas just stared ahead. “he probably had a stick up his ass.” lucas replied, that earned a slight chuckle from erica. they walked all the way home without speaking which was good because erica had a lot to think about. once they got inside, mrs. sinclair asked, “how was the trip?” erica and lucas looked at each other. “it was fine, mom.” erica replied, walking to her room. mrs. sinclair pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips. “lucas, baby, what really happened?” mrs. sinclair asked with one of her ‘boy, you better tell me the truth’ looks. lucas sighed, “some guy has bothering us at store, it’s fine, ma-.” lucas began to say until she sent him an even harder glare. he gulped then continued “really, it was fine, i handled it.” ‘god, who knew my mama was so scary?’ lucas thought as mrs. sinclair said “ok, good, did you get everything?” lucas nodded “thanks, baby, now run along.” mrs. sinclair said, kissing lucas’ cheek and patting his back.

while erica was in her room, she thought about her baby sibling. ‘maybe they would like d&d?’ she thought and got up from her bed. erica didn’t think that she’d have to give the baby a gift or anything but she felt like doing it. so, erica decided to paint a d&d character for the baby. first, she felt like discussing it with lucas which was weird because she never really thought about him unless with thoughts of annoying him. but whatever, erica got up from her desk and walked to lucas’ room. she just barged in like usual and heard lucas fall off his bed. “shit!” erica heard lucas curse which cause mr. sinclair to yell “language!” she rolled her eyes then thought if life would still be the same when the baby comes.

“hey, erica, what’s up?” lucas asked, leaning on the doorframe. “nothin, what was you doing with the door closed?” erica said then she added “were you radioing mike?” lucas looked confused but then realized what she was saying. “wait, what? no…” lucas said. erica gave him a look and he sighed. “what do you want?” lucas asked. “oh i just wanted to know if you wanted to help with something for the baby.” erica said, looking around lucas’ room. “ok.” lucas said as he pushed erica out of the doorway and closed his door. “ok, secretive much..” erica muttered before heading to her room with lucas close behind.

erica sat at her desk and lucas pulled out another chair, sitting down. “so, what is this something you’re making?” lucas asked as erica got out a character and some paint. “i’m thinking of making the baby a d&d character.” erica said as she got out her paint brushes. lucas hummed “you know that the baby ain’t gon be able to play for a few years, right?” lucas asked, erica shot her an irritated glare. “aye, aye, i was just joking, you gettin more like momma every day!” lucas said panicked. erica chuckled and lucas did too. as they were working on the baby’s d&d character, mrs. sinclair passed by the door and smiled, lightly rubbing her belly.

seven months later, erica and lucas had the baby’s character and character sheet all planned out. they were proud of their handiwork all they had to do now was wait for the baby to arrive. luckily,(if you even call it that) mrs. sinclair went into labor later that day. the sinclairs and the rest of the party’s families were sitting in the waiting room, waiting for news. turns out, she’d still be in labor overnight so the rest left, will told the siblings to tell him everything when they get home.

march 10th, 1986 at 7:14 am, nia zuri sinclair was born. a few minutes later, mr. sinclair went to get his kids from the waiting room. “she’s here.” he said and the two perked up, running towards their dad. he let them to their mom’s room, there they saw mrs. sinclair holding nia close in her arms. erica felt a change in atmosphere in the room, warm and welcoming like her mom. she stood in the doorway as the rest of her family went to met nia. mrs. sinclair noticed that erica was standing away from them so she called her over. “come here, honey, come met your baby sister.” mrs. sinclair called softly. with that, erica walked over to her mom.

“do you wanna hold her?” mrs. sinclair said, erica nodded and she carefully handed nia to her. “careful with her head.” mrs. sinclair warned, erica smiled at the little bundle in her arms. nia had sweet dark caramel skin and a head full of dark brown hair. “she’s beautiful, what’s her name?” erica asked, looking at her parents. “nia after your great grandma.” mrs. sinclair replied, erica smiled remembering how her great grandma was always sweet like honey. nia made grabby hands towards her sister and erica held her closer to her.

“nice to meet you, nia.”

no, i’m not afraid to disappear

[stranger things, Erica Sinclair-centric, Erica&Lucas, Erica&El, Erica&Eddie, character study/fix it. 10.5k]

Erica wants to tell them about the sick move she pulled last night—leaping out of the shadows to stab her poison-tipped kukri through the eye of a giant rat that Max’s character had pinned against the wall. She’d used her Cunning Action on the previous turn to hide, and so she dealt sneak attack damage, killing the monster with one well-placed stab. Eddie let her preserve its tail in the Party’s Bag of Holding, to be brought back to the city and turned in for a bounty.

But that’s not exactly lunch table conversation.

(or: Erica strives for normalcy, after the not-end of the world. Lady Applejack wins the day.)
