Little Known Memories - Marianna's Backstory - Link

One of Our Better Angels - Eddie Munson x Marianna (Female Reader) - Link

"I've been ready to die for a very long time. I don't expect you to understand and part of me doesn't want you to either." Marianna continued to speak into the tape recorder, as she stitched herself back up as she often did in the past. Kolya didn't get hurt nearly as often as she did and she wanted to keep it that way.

"You're sick. Go back to bed and I'll figure it out." Marianna said to Kolya waving as headed back home to get over a cold or possible flu. She had made sure to take extra precautions to keep Kolya safe, determined not to take any chances with his health.

"I thought you two would have stopped talking to each other after everything that happened." Eddie said to her after she hopped in her car.

"He's been there longer than I have, the same mental space and the same mindset. The numb feeling, the void inside yourself after you see death more often than not." Marianna added, "You don't have to be brave all the time. It's not helpful for your health."

Marianna knew that pushing Eddie beyond what he was comfortable with wouldn't do anyone a favor. Not even her. Therefore, she decided to take a step back and gently suggest a different approach.

"Are you sure you're fine with that?" Eddie asked her.

"Why wouldn't I be fine with it?" Marianna answered with another question.

"You know exactly why I think that." Eddie answered.

"I hate to break this to you but I'm fine with risking my life. But I'm not fine with risking your safety or anyone else's. If I can avoid that happening. I most certainly will," Marianna said. She understood the risks associated with her actions, but wanted to do everything she could to ensure that no one else got hurt in the process. She was willing to take risks with her own life but not with anyone else's.

Marianna proceeded to press her forehead against Eddie's to check if he had a fever. Without a moment's hesitation, she took the necessary precautions to ensure his safety. "You're sick, unwell and you also have a fever." Marianna said to him.

Eddie remained silent the whole trip back to her place to recover, the same place she said would keep him from harm. "Concentrate on recovering and I'll do what I can to make a spot in my house to keep you safe in." she said to him.

"Why are you helping me?" Eddie asked her.

"Because I care about you." Marianna answered honestly. "Take this with you. It'll help." She handed him a care package that would help him recover, the one of many he would receive while she worked on her project that would help them in the future.

"I don't give to get Dustin. I don't do that to people I consider to be my friends." Marianna replied confused by his question. By having multiple copies, Marianna would be able to maintain the integrity of her journal, even if one of her friends lost or misplaced it. This way, she could ensure the memories and experiences she had written down would always be accessible, no matter where she or her friends were.

"I told you we should have trusted her sooner." Dustin declared to the rest of them.

"I thought you died." Eddie said.

"I thought I did too. For a brief moment I was sure I was dead." Marianna admitted, confused as to why she didn't die instead. "Although I wouldn't have been surprised if it did happen, I am grateful that it did not," Marianna said with a sigh of relief.

"There was nothing you could've done." Eddie told her, stating that no matter how much she tried she wouldn't have been able to save her friend, Ivan.

"I wish I had known that then, but believe me, I know it now." Marianna had to concentrate on recovering and she felt like it was driving her to insanity. Even though it's only been almost three days since the incident. "Despite the short time since the traumatic event, I can confidently say that I have gained invaluable wisdom and a newfound strength," Marianna thought to herself. "Even though it still hurts to walk with this injury I won't be in bed all the time. Even though they might want me to be."

Marianna had sustained a bear trap injury on her ankle when she had stumbled upon a bear in the forest. She had been walking in the dark, not knowing what lurked in the shadows. She had been so scared, and she felt a sharp pain as the trap clamped down on her ankle. The trap was designed to catch animals by clamping down on their legs or other appendages, and it had done just that to Marianna. The trap had two powerful jaws that closed when it was triggered by the weight of an animal or person stepping on it.

"You get more injuries than he does." Steve pointed out.

"Yeah and he runs just as fast Eddie when he gets spooked. Like a deer getting spooked by a loud sound in the distance." Marianna explained. "Someone had to make sure he didn't do anything stupid or get himself killed."

Marianna had taken a liking to Eddie and she couldn't really explain why. She knew how it happened, but she could never really understand the why of it. She started getting in harm's way so that he wouldn't have to and the promise to keep him safe came from an instinct that she had inside her. She was drawn to him in a way that she couldn't explain and her actions were driven by a strong desire to protect him. It seemed like a natural instinct that was beyond her control, and she felt compelled to keep him safe from any harm.

Kolya explained it as falling in love. Like he fell in love with someone after both Ivan and Masha passed on.

"It was love at first sight," he said, "a feeling that I couldn't describe or ignore."

Sleep Specialist's Results

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Marianna (Female Reader)

Genre: Fluff, Horror

Masterlist: LINK

Trigger Warning(s):

Nightmares, Night Terrors, Bad Dreams

Swearing, Cussing, Cursing

Sequel to: Disassembled Creatures

Marianna's Point of View

The waiting room is eerie silence as I anxiously awaited my turn to see the sleep specialist. I fidgeted with the sleeves, wiggling around in my seat and my foot tapping. I couldn't help but feel like I was being swallowed whole by my nervous erratic behaviour. I have this issue for years.

Since I can remember, sleep has always eluded me. The countless nights of tossing, turning and then staring at the ceiling while Eddie slept peacefully beside me. The longing need to have great night's rest, to wake feeling like I didn't need more sleep and to feel like a normal functioning human being. After what it felt like an eternity until my name was finally called, a nurse came over and lead me to the doctor's office.

The sleep specialist's office was dimly lit, with soft ambient music playing in the background. The air felt heavy with anticipation as I took a seat across from the doctor's desk. Dr. Adams, a middle-aged man with kind eyes, greeted me with a warm smile.

"Good morning, Ms. Sokolova," Dr. Adams said, his voice soothing and calming. "I've reviewed your case history and conducted some initial assessments. It seems you've been struggling with sleep-related issues for quite some time."

I nodded, my hands tightly gripping the edge of the chair. "Yes, it's been going on for years. I've tried various remedies and therapies, but nothing has worked so far. It's affecting my daily life, my energy levels, and my relationship with Eddie. I have no trouble falling asleep that's not the issue, I have a sleep schedule which I do each evening before I get ready for bed." I handed him the detailed written form of my sleep schedule to him from my folder.

The schedule has things like exercising on a treadmill for an hour, drinking a herbal tea to help me relax enough to sleep through the night. Then I would have a pleasant warm shower. I have listed the medications I have taken in the past to help with sleep deprivation. Sometimes I even just stick to having three hour naps and just do work stuff I haven't finished yet until I'm tired enough to back to sleep.

"These nightmares also occur when I sleep on my back," I added as he went through the sleep schedule.

Dr. Adams nodded, studying the sleep schedule intently. "Nightmares can certainly contribute to sleep disturbances," he acknowledged. "Sleeping on your back may be triggering them in some way. We'll delve deeper into that aspect during our assessment."

I shifted uncomfortably in my chair, feeling a mix of hope and apprehension. Finally, someone who might be able to understand and help me. Dr. Adams continued, "Based on your sleep schedule and the information you've provided, it seems like you've been doing everything right to promote good sleep hygiene. However, there might be underlying factors at play that we need to explore."

The appointment went better than what I thought it would be and as soon as I got back home I called Eddie to make sure he knew what happened, what the plan was going to be and that he didn't have to worry.

Eddie picked up the phone on the second ring, his voice filled with concern. "Hey, Marianna. How did it go? Are you okay?"

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing thoughts. "Hey, Eddie. Yeah, it went okay. I saw a sleep specialist, Dr. Adams. He seems really knowledgeable and empathetic. He believes there might be some underlying factors causing my sleep issues, so we're going to delve deeper into it. There will be a few more tests run, but it's a lot more complex than just Insomnia like I thought it was. Don't worry you'll be the first person I'll call if anything happens or if anything goes wrong. Once I figure this out, we can talk about whether or not we still want to have kids of our own or go ahead with adoption."

We were talking about whether or not we wanted to adopt or have children of our own three months ago. I didn't know whether or not my sleeping problem would be something genetic and could be passed down, if that was the case we wanted to consider other options. Eddie remained silent on the other end of the line, and I could sense the weight of the decision hanging in the air.

"We'll talk more about this later, don't worry about needing to speak about right now and I know how much you would rather speak about it in person." I added before he said anything else.

Eddie sighed on the other end of the line, and I could almost picture the worried expression on his face. "You're right, Marianna. We'll discuss it in person when you're ready. Your health and well-being come first. Just focus on getting the answers and treatment you need."

A sense of relief washed over me as Eddie's words sank in. Despite the uncertainty surrounding my sleep issues and the impact it could have on our plans for the future, Eddie's unwavering support gave me strength. I knew we would face whatever challenges came our way together.

Eddie told me about what they planned to do with the tour and where they were going in America. By the sounds of it, a lot of work has gone into this and I am proud of him. As Eddie shared the details of their upcoming tour, my mind began to wander. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy as he talked about the excitement and adventure that awaited him on the road. While I was grateful for his support, a part of me wished I could join him on this journey, free from the shackles of my sleep issues.

"I'm really proud of you, Eddie," I said, genuine admiration lacing my voice. "It sounds like an incredible opportunity, and I know you'll do amazing things. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself while you're away, okay?"

Eddie's voice softened, and I could tell he understood my unspoken longing to be with him. "Of course, Marianna. I'll make sure to prioritize my well-being too. And hey, maybe someday we'll have the chance to go on an adventure together, without any worries or sleep troubles holding us back."

I smiled, the image of us embarking on an adventure together bringing a glimmer of hope to my tired soul. "That sounds wonderful, Eddie. I look forward to that day."

I smiled, the image of us embarking on an adventure together bringing a glimmer of hope to my tired soul. "That sounds wonderful, Eddie. I look forward to that day." I added. "I certainly hope you've eaten dinner, don't tell me you haven't."

Eddie chuckled on the other end of the line. "Don't worry, Marianna. I just finished dinner before we started talking. I'm taking care of myself, I promise."

"Did you take one of my jackets with you? I know you said you wanted to take one or two of them with you." I asked thinking about it more. "I added an oversized hoodie in case it gets cold."

Eddie laughed. "Yes, I did. I couldn't resist taking one of your jackets with me. It's like having a piece of you with me on the road. And the oversized hoodie sounds perfect for those chilly nights. I'll make sure to wear it and think of you."

"If you need anything else, I find a way to get it to you as soon I as I can." I mentioned thinking about it still. "Just because I can't sleep well, doesn't mean I can't make sure you have what you need." I added rather quickly.

Eddie's voice filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Marianna. I appreciate your support and willingness to help, even with your own struggles. You're incredible, you know that?"

"I can go on and on about how cool you were. I have a feeling one of us is getting rather sleepy and it's not me." I replied stifling a giggle.

Eddie chuckled, his voice filled with warmth. "Yeah, I think you're right. Tour preparations have left me exhausted. But I'll be fine. I'll get a good night's rest before the tour kicks off. You take care of yourself too, Marianna."

"I will. I'll call you tomorrow okay?" I replied sipping my cup of sleep tea.

"Sounds good," Eddie replied, his voice becoming softer. "Sleep well, Marianna. I love you."

"I love you now and forever. Sleep well and don't let the bed bugs bite." I replied with a contented sigh, I hung up the phone and set it aside. The weight of the day's events began to settle, and I knew it was time to take care of myself. Dr. Adams had given me a glimmer of hope, and although there were still uncertainties ahead, I felt a renewed sense of determination.

Disassembled Creatures

Pairing: Eddie Munson x Marianna (Female Reader)

Genre: Fluff, Horror, Angst

Masterlist: Link

Trigger Warning(s):

Nightmares, Night Terrors, bad dreams

Swearing, cursing, cussing

Summary: Marianna (Female reader) has a rather vivid nightmare, the same one occurs each time she tries to fall asleep. Most of the time this occurs when she sleeps in a particular way and whenever she sleeps alone. Eddie and his is also going on tour through America.

Author's Note: Eddie is still alive in this universe. Years after season four. I have to warn you this one is pretty long.

Marianna's Point of View

I tossed and turned, I couldn't sleep and I didn't know why for a very long time. The night heavy, silence broken by distant hums of crickets as I lay in my bed and my mind raced, thoughts about my nightmare, how it never changed and it always ended with me swimming in my own sweat. I could never tell anyone why that was the case and even putting a fan into my room or even opening my window made my nightmares horrible.

I have tried drinking warm milk, herbal tea, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and I have even tried just exercising an hour or two before bed. Nothing seemed to work and things that worked, they were hugging pillows while I slept. Hugging people while I went to sleep too.

I peaked at the clock on the bedside table near me, it was 3:00am. sleep wouldn't come easily tonight. Darkness engulfed my room, amplifying the weight of my restless thoughts and the cricket sounds outside felt like they were mocking me with their rhythmic chorus, their incessant hum accentuating my insomnia.

Nightmares had plagued me for as long as I could remember. Each night, I found myself trapped in a terrifying world, a realm of twisted horrors that left me gasping for air and drenched in perspiration. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the clutches of these relentless terrors.

Sleep had always remained elusive as the creatures of the Upside Down, with their disassembled forms and haunting eyes, invaded my dreams. They lurked in the shadows, their grotesque shapes contorting and shifting with an eerie fluidity. Their presence was suffocating, their whispers echoing through the darkness, filling my mind with a paralyzing fear.

"What are you doing awake this early?" Eddie said one morning walking into the kitchen, as I sipped my third cup of coffee.

"I haven't slept, I tried sleeping for three hours and I stayed awake for the rest of the night." I replied rather bluntly. "Don't ask about whether or not I have tried anything because the answer is yes." I added.

Eddie looked at me with concern in his eyes. He was my closest friend, always there to lend a listening ear and offer support. We started dating two years ago, and despite the challenges we faced individually and as a couple, our bond only grew stronger over time.

Before he could say anything else, I pointed out the medication I have been taking for a month and explained the side effects and the lack of improvement it had brought. "I thought this would help, Eddie. It's not working like I thought it would. I'm tired of these nightmares, of feeling exhausted all the time."

"I hate seeing you like this," he said softly.

"I have an appointment with a sleep specialist this afternoon. Fingers crossed I get it worked out." I continued. "Don't worry about me and go on tour, you earned that."

Eddie sighed and reached across the table, taking my hand in his. "Marianna, you know I would never prioritize a tour over your well-being. We're in this together, remember?"

"And I won't have you delay something you've worked on for over a year. Your music is your passion, Eddie. I don't want my struggles to hold you back. I'll figure this out, I promise," I said, trying to reassure him.

Eddie looked into my eyes, searching for any signs of hesitation or doubt. After a moment, he nodded, his grip on my hand tightening slightly.

"Okay," he said softly. "But promise me one thing."

"What?" I asked, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Promise me that you'll keep me updated, that you won't face this alone," he said earnestly. "No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

"Don't worry about it, once I figure it out and I will finally sleep like a baby."

Autumn’s Farewell, Winter’s Arrival

Pairing: Unknown

Genre: Slight Angst, Fluff

Trigger Warning(s): N/A

Author’s Note: This is is the start of a mini series, based on 16 year old Marianna and I haven't decided what kind of pairing to go with just yet. So expect at least three more season based one before I figure it out.

You would think I would be used to moving around frequently, the amount of it done while I was younger should have been enough to hammer it down that we could not stay in one place for too long. I still got attached to places, I still fell in love with the general vibe of the place and I was heartbroken every time I had to leave.

Like the changing of seasons, nothing lasts forever and nothing is meant to stay the same. The end of autumn came creeping in, with each passing day of the month of May and the leaves came falling, leaving a brown murky mush on the ground. The trees shed their autumn colour coats, getting ready for the air and chill of winter. As I watched the leaves fall from the trees and the wind take them away. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness. As I knew we would have to leave again soon.

“Come on, we have to get this packed up and ready for us to leave before the end of the month Marianna!” Ivan yelled out from the kitchen.

I groaned, knowing I wouldn’t be able to come back to this place and feel the same way about it again. I walked into my closet and went back to packing my things so we could leave again soon. The familiar feeling of sadness and longing to stay, just for a little while longer lingered as my things were packed into the truck.

We drove away, leaving the places barren of the beautiful Autumn leaves and somehow it would never be the same again. I would never be there again and feel the same way about it.

As we continued the drive away from this small town, I saw the first signs of winter’s arrival. Trees were bare, branches reaching out like boney fingers against the gray sky. Air crisp, cold and gentle like a soft kiss on the cheek. The seasons change from Autumn to Winter. Like the changing of the ocean’s tides, as life will continue to ebb and flow with the currents of time.

As much as I hate the changing of seasons and the move from one place to another. I wanted to also know what kind of change could come from it and I was eager to know it. I just hated having to leave behind so many people I have learned to admire and adore.

As the falling leaves and the bare trees, I knew that everything has its time and place. New beginnings are waiting for me, I just need to learn to adapt to its changes and embrace them, like the changing of seasons.

Marianna's Estate (Part 1)

Author's Note: This is what Marianna's Estate looks like. This description won't fit one single post. So this one will be Series of posts of a description of this estate, so in future the estate will be more clear to you guys.

Part 2 / Masterlist

The fence had brick on the bottom and black metal fence on the top of it. It also surrounded Marianna's estate as they approached. A lovely hedge trims around the inside and outside of the fencing. The roof of the house was blood red, and the house was light gray. A pond was in the centre surrounded by sweet pea flowers. Red Snapdragons and Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic' flowers were along the outside of the inside hedges.

The white gravel driveway stands out against the grass and hedges, and it also wraps around the pond. The pond had an extremely detailed mermaid statue looking into the pond from the front. They had access to a garage while they were there. There were two garden sheds, one for the front yard and one for the backyard. White garden urns were on each side of the front door with Black Baccara roses in them. Chocolate Cosmos in the window planters on the front of the mansion. Mystic Dreamer Dahlia flowers are the ones she usually gives to her friends. This was primarily a sign of trust, and she didn't like pink as much as the darker shades like Black, Purple, etc.

In her backyard, the large estate blended into the forest after a few yards. The estate could have continued for many years if she had kept up with maintenance. Her father was wealthy, and he had invested a lot of money in maintaining it. Therefore, she was the only one living there despite her father's disappearance and her mother's death.

The heavy dark wooden, bronze edged double doors had a gold lion's head knocker on both doors. The floor of the mansion are dark red mahogany wood, the mansion also had high ceilings and burgundy red with gold trimmed walls except for the bedrooms. The guest bedrooms had pastel pink, blue and green with clouds. As soon as they walked inside the mansion, a huge painting of Kronos eating one of his children hung in the entry foyer. The bust of Marianna’s father on the table underneath it.

The kitchen is open, large and gothic to match the rest of the mansions theme. The black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances give the kitchen a modern touch. There is a large island in the center of the kitchen with bar stools on one side. The cabinets are made from a dark wood and they have intricate details carved into them. The center of the ceiling of the kitchen had a lovely black iron chandelier with dripping crystal accents that added a touch of elegance to the room.

The kitchen also had a large pantry with glass doors, showcasing Marianna's collection of antique plates and silverware. A large gas stove with six burners and a griddle was against one wall, and a double oven was on the opposite wall. The refrigerator and freezer were built into the cabinetry, making them look like they were part of the wall.

The corner of the kitchen, there is a cozy little breakfast nook with a round wooden table and dark cushioned chairs. Windows surrounded the nook let in plenty of natural light and provided the view of the front yard.

Adjacent to the kitchen was a formal dining room with a large, rectangular mahogany table and elegant chairs. The room was adorned with dark red curtains and a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. The walls were painted a cream color with gold accents, giving the room a warm and inviting feel.

The dining room had a large table that could seat up to at least ten people, the chairs were burgundy velvet and the table is wooden with a red colour. A black and white Russian rug underneath the table. The room also had a large painting she did a few months ago, in the same style as Bob Ross. The painting depicted a peaceful forest scene with a small stream running through it. It was placed on the wall opposite the entrance, making it a focal point of the room. A wooden cabinet was against one wall, filled with Marianna's collection of antique dinnerware and silverware.

The dining room was attached to the Main Lounge room. The walls were still a burgundy red with gold trimmings like the rest of the house. Floor is still the mahogany red wood. It also had black velvet couches, the large ones were against the walls and there was a small on top of the tv unit. Fireplace near the second couch, only ever used during the winter. The curtains in the Lounge room matched the couches and the dining room curtains were matching the walls. They were also a Burgundy red.
