new to small town life, steve harrington, who has been cut off from his family, told to make something of himself for once, yelled at about how easy his life is, how little they ask of him and how ungrateful he is, exiled to hawkins (the town his dad bought drunk one night as a gag).
there he meets robin, the sarcastic, mean, and wonderful owner of the motel steve is staying at (ew.)
and eventually eddie, the patronizing, unaware of personal space, and lovely (god, so lovely) guy who is going to help steve acquire the permits and grants to renovate the motel with robin, bit by bit who has big brown eyes and wild hair and wears basically the same tight, ripped jeans and loose button down with rolled sleeves everyday, while steve primps and styles and steams.
they fall in love, obvi, but not without a healthy dose of reality check for steve, family drama (boo, harringtons!), the best friendship (with a couple moments of shudderworthy attempts at more), steve cringing at eddie’s musical inclinations, meeting the rest of the town (mayor hopper, his wife, joyce, the gang of children steve is unsure of which parent they each belong to, and who make sure he never eats at benny’s alone (though he would maybe like to, just once!), the workers of the town-staple that is benny’s, jonathan (cook, high always) and argyle (waiter, high always, slightly more functional, but with more insane storytelling where you can’t tell if he’s making it up or telling the truth), the editor in chief of the hawkins paper, nancy, who has taken over the paper and declared that serious journalism must prevail in hawkins (think rory gilmore taking over the gazette and everyone going crazy because she took out the poem (i know, too many AUs at once))), an open mic, demolition in the motel with sweaty, gorgeous, hairy steve, lots of skin car routines, mental health crises, full blown disownment, happiness, love, friendship, joy, community, and small-town loving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(steddie, ronance (robin helps nancy learn to love the mundane, nancy helps robin deal with change) (😭), lowkey jargyle (ive only heard of the drama of FoH and BoH star crossed loving and i live, but this would be decidedly less drama, they would simply be dating, like no labels but they love each other and kiss and hang out), lesbian eleven (she’s everything), a flirtation with byler (why not!), steve finding family, gayness, etc.)

Haha whoops I seem to be writing Vorkosigan saga fic
I'm supposed to be editing my novel
Ah well, if fic wants to happen it's going to happen
There are two and I think I can keep them each to one conversation between two characters which tends to go pretty quickly for me once I have the basics down
One of them was threatening to be plotty but I think I am getting some useful info out of my storytelling theory that will help me make things feel cool and plotty without actually inventing the entire plot
We'll see how that goes!

If talking about it helped at all
I would never shut the fuck up
I would tell everyone about
her weak body
falling apart in three days
the way her paws crossed
and struggled to walk straight
how her eyes were confused
the entire time
with the fatigue
she felt
winning out against
the memory
of who she always was.
I'd tell you how much it hurt
when she kept getting up painfully
uncurling from my chest
to lay further away from me
and just stare at me
wanting to know I was there
I'd tell you about the nurse
who looked at me and somehow thought
I've never been around death
and talked too much the entire time
who stood in the way of my privacy and grief
I'd tell you how the tears
felt like blood from an open wound
the way I couldn't do anything to stop them
and they just spilled from me
drop by drop
I’d tell you how scared I am to hold anyone now
to touch anyone living
the way her weight felt in my arms when she was gone
how I knew better
that air escapes
muscles spasms
but I still jumped with hope
she someone was still alive
I'd ask you how many times can someone hold death
and still be okay holding the living?
I'd ask you if it's okay to wait until I fall asleep first
so I won't think you're dead next to me
If talking helped at all
I'd tell you about the suicide
how he took the gun from his wife's car
that he made her keep there for her protection
in case of an emergency
and drove off
to shoot himself in the heart
and crash the car into a ditch
I'd ask you if God is so great
what's so good about making men unable to wait to meet them?
Where's the good in salvation that you can't wait any longer for?
I'd demand answers on why God made so many people in my family
take their own life.
I'd ask you if you've read Death of A Salesman
I'd ask you how much grief do you think the wife felt
having the gun she never wanted or asked for
having not seen in coming
living the rest of her life with that oversight.
If talking helped at all
I'd ask why the ones with the most love for life
always die young
why my school reunions are just funerals
where I don't recognize anyone anymore
except the dead.
If talking helped at all
you’d know my silence as the chasm it is
the childhood friend who spent more time growing than aging.
the family tree that only withers or holds nooses
the heartbeat I held until it was only a heart

The only writing I have done this weekend is on ANOTHER new Loki show fic. That's okay! It's fun and keeps me sane and I made progress on editing my book on Wednesday. It will get done eventually!

Can you do fangans other than sdra2? If so which ones
Heya! I can do others as long as the sprites are within the DR style. I have a feeling this is relating to Eden's Garden, and to that, I can say that I can work with it, I just don't want spoilers! The only one I've ever played for myself is SDRA2!!
