    Summary

    “Nancy, we gotta go, we can’t save him,” he hears Jonathan say, and just as he watches Nancy raise her gun, something tears through his back.

    It’s heat and pain and blackness ripping through his chest, it’s tears on Jonathan’s face, it’s Nancy pulling the trigger, and they need to move they need to move they need to move and he can’t move and everything is going black and breathing doesn’t exist anymore so with whatever breath his lungs can gather, he yells.

    “Run,” he gasps out, more wheeze than word, and he feels warm blood soaking his abdomen. The thing in his chest is holding him up now, his body limp, every nerve screaming as his vision blurs. He can feel its body pulsing inside him.

    Nancy’s wide eyes narrow. Steve hears a bang, and he’s dead.

    -

    Steve never really thought he'd get a second chance.

    Summary

    Nami smirks. “Mr. ‘I Had One Friend’, I bet you’ve never kissed anyone in your life.”

    Zoro takes a swig of his beer and sets the mug back down on the bar. “...I’ve kissed someone.”

    “Really? Who was it?”

    “Did the lady dab her nose with posies after?” Sanji calls from two stools down.

    It’s convenient when they talk at the same time. Makes it easier to ignore them both, even when there are easy answers to their questions.

    Not a lady. And not just one.

    Ten snapshots of Zoro’s history with sex, violence, power, and all the complicated intersections thereof.

    Summary

    Steve is in a bit of a crisis. Everyone around him is moving forward with their lives, they have moved out, met new people, and he is still in Hawkins, going on date after date and looking for a connection that he just can't find. After one too many dreams about a dead boy he takes his truck and RV and hits the road, trying to run away from ghosts and expectations.
    He never planned for his truck to break down in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania.
    He never expected to go look for a mechanic and meet a ghost.

    Summary

    Knowing one’s place in the world is important for one’s survival.

    -

    In this journey to accompany the Luminary in saving the world, everyone has a role to play. Those who were appointed by destiny, those with deep connection with the Luminary himself, and those who held their own merit in strength and resourcefulness.

    If Erik's role in all of this is to simply provide the Luminary a warm body to have at night, then so be it.

    (Or, Erik comes with tons of issues, Eleven followed the adage 'Love is blind' in the worst way possible, and Veronica literally just want to sleep without the sound of porn coming from the next room over, thanks)
