dude. dude listen to me. Nerdy Prudes Must Die had no godly involvement. no no I know that sounds whack but hear me out — the igniting incident isn’t Steph cheating on a test, or Peter accepting it, it’s Grace. Grace had one (1) sexual fantasy and decided to do a “prank em john” at the Waylon place. The only place that is related to the lords in black in the entire musical. Then Max dies by accident and Grace is totally chill with hiding the body. Then the other shit happens and at the end she has the Black Book, and THAT’S when the supernatural stuff comes into play for obvious reasons. But Grace is such a prude, and we already know she’s a freak from Abstinence Camp with a murder-y side to her. She WOULD kill a guy if he made her horny. Sad with inklings of future religious trauma but true. Blinky also says that they have been “watching her” and nothing else. This is the only musical whose triggering incident isn’t weird or godly in any way, minus the Waylon place but that was from the 1930s so it doesn’t count. Also it would be admittedly really funny if all that happened because Grace was just Like That.

i didn’t run this time
eddie munson x powered!reader
«warning: angst : spoilers for vol 2 : get your tissues : »
previous chapter - epilogue
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Okay. I wanna run through it one more time.” Nancy says, looking at the others.
“Phase one. We meet Erica at the playground.” She says.
“She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready.” She says.
“Phase two. Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance.” Steve says.
“Phase three? Me and Eddie and Dustin draw the bats away.” (Y/n) says.
“Four. We head into Vecna's newly bat-free lair, and… …flambé.” Nancy says.
Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied.” Steve says, and they others nod.
“Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what.” He says.
“Got it?” And they nod.
“Got it.” Eddie says.
“Here goes nothing.” (Y/n) says, holding her guitar in her hands. “Hey, guys, listen. If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort.” Steve says, looking at them.
“Okay? Draw the attention of the bats.” He says, looking at Eddie, Dustin, and (Y/n).
“Keep 'em busy for a minute or two. We'll take care of Vecna.” He adds.
“Don't try to be cute or be a hero or something.” He says.
“Okay? You guys are just... Decoys.” He says.
“Don't worry. You can be the hero, Steve. Absolutely. I mean, look at us. We are not heroes.” Eddie says, and (Y/n) looks at him.
“Hey, Steve?” He says, and Steve turns too look at him.
“Make him pay.” He says, to Steve who nods. As they got read on top of Eddie’s trailer waiting for the go ahead. “Ready for the best metal concert ever babe?” She asks, looking at Eddie who smile, “Of course my princess.” He says, and she smiles.
“Copy that. Initiating phase three.” Dustin says.
“Let's hope they hear this.” He says.
“Chrissy, this is for you.” Eddie says, ripping off the guitar puck necklace. As both him and (Y/n) start playing their guitar, as they start playing Master of Puppets by Metallica.
‘End of passion play. Crumbling away’
(Y/n) bangs her head along with Eddie, the couple smiling at each other. Finally getting to hear each other play the song they’ve practice for weeks.
‘I’m your source of self-destruction.’
Dustin smiling watching as his brother and sister figure, are jamming it out.
‘Veins that pump with fear.’
‘Sucking darkness clear.’
Eddie and (Y/n) putting all their heart and soul, into this distraction for the others. The best part was that they’re able to shred it out in the upside down together.
‘Taste me, you will see.’
‘More is all you need.’
(Y/n) puckered up her lips and acted like she was blowing a kiss towards her boyfriend. She smiled banging her head to the song.
‘Dedicated to how I’m killing you.’
(Y/n)’s back was against Eddie’s as they continued shredding. ‘Come crawling faster. Obey your master!’
‘Your life burns faster’
‘Obey your master!
‘Master!’
Dustin holding up the binoculars, seeing the demobats getting closer.
‘Where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?’
‘master, master’
‘You promised only lies’
(Y/n) and Eddie playing for Hawkins as well those lost, because of Vecna. Especially Chrissy.
‘Laughter, laughter’
‘All I hear and see is laughter’
Dustin looked back into the binoculars and saw the demobats getting closer.
‘Laughter, laughter’
‘Laughing at my cries’
“Eddie! Y/n!” Dustin shouts, and the two look towards him still playing the guitar.
“We gotta lock down in T-minus 30 seconds!” He shouts, and they nod and look at each other
Smiling ready for the epic finale to their upside down guitar concert, “T-minus 20!” Dustin shouts, and (Y/n) and Eddie both nod.
And the two play the most ferocious guitar riff, “T-minus ten!” He shouts, and Eddie and (Y/n) are almost finished. As they continued to play the guitar.
“Five!”
“One!” He shouts, the two then finally finishing the song. “Move! Move! Move!” Eddie shouts, as they jumped off the trailer as the swarm of demobats flew towards them.
“Let's go!” (Y/n) said.
“Move your asses!” She shouted, as she closed the gate and ran inside the trailer with the others. “Hurry! Eddie, shut it!” She screamed, and shut the door to the trailer.
“Dude!” Dustin says, and the three look at each other. “Most metal ever!” He shouts, and (Y/n) and Eddie jump with excitement and adrenaline. Then the demobats start banging on the trailer, “Hey, dip shits? Give up that easy, huh?” He shouts, and (Y/n) looks down at him.
“Shh!” She says.
“Is that really necessary?” Eddie adds, looking at Dustin. (Y/n) looks up hearing banging and rattling on the roof. “They're on the roof.” She says, looking up.
“Shit. Shit. Shit.” They’ll curse. “Shit. Shit. Shit.” They curse, as they notice the air vent rattling, as the demobats try to break in.
“They can't get in through there, can they?” Dustin asks, and then one breaks the vent and screeches.
“Die! Die!” They’ll shout stabbing, “Die! Die! Die!” They shout. (Y/n) begins looking around, as one breaks through another vent and she stabs it.
“Eddie!” She shouts, as she stabs the bat. “I need you!” She shouts, and they’ll run towards his room which also had a vent.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” Eddie exclaims, he then kills the bat.
“Holy shit. Holy shit.” They both exclaim looking at each other.
“Are there other vents?” She asks, and his face went blank. “Oh, shit.” He exclaimed remembering there’s one in his room, and demobats started pounding on the air vent.
“That's not gonna hold!” She says, looking at the door. Then watches as Dustin climbs up the rope.
“Let's go! Let's go!” Dustin shouts, climbing up the rope and landing on the mattress in the real world.
“Come on! Quickly!” He shouts, and Eddie grabs onto the rope, and looks at (Y/n).
“Eddie, come on!” He shouts, and the moment (Y/n) looked him in the eye she knew what he was about to do.
“Eddie, Y/n, come on! Let's go!” He shouts, and (Y/n). She smiles looking up at Dustin, “I’m sorry baby, but I’m not letting you sacrifice yourself.” She says, knocking Eddie out with the metal rod in her hand.
“Y/n?” She looks up at him, “Take care of him for me.” She says, smiling. Using her powers to the best of her ability to lift her boyfriend up and into the real world, holding the spear in her hand.
Seeing him land safely beside Dustin, “What are you doing? Y/n, no!” Dustin pleaded, and she smile cutting the rope and looking up at him. And moving the mattress outta the way.
“Y/n!” He shouted.
“Y/n, stop! Y/n, stop!” He begs, and she looks up at him one more time.
“Stop! Stop!” He pleads.
“Y/n, what are you doing?” He shouts. “I'm buying more time.” She says.
“No!” He screams. Watching as she left the trailer.
“Come get me, you sons of bitches!” She screams, banging her shield and spears together.
“Eddie!” Dustin shouted, trying to shake him awake. “What? Where’s y/n?” Eddie asked, as he stirred awake.
And the look on Dustin’s face said it all, “No! No! No! Y/n!” He shouted, the two frantically trying to get back to the Upside Down to get to her.
“Y/n!” Eddie screamed, pleading for her to come back. As both him and Dustin land back in the upside down.
“Come on!” She shouted, holding the shield and taking down a couple of demobats at a time. “You little shits!” She screamed, stabbing them with her spear.
“I know you see me! You call yourself a fucking father!” She shouted, stabbing the demobats in the air. They started to swarm her causing her to get overwhelmed.
One bitting down onto her stomach taking a chunk of flesh. She screamed in pain, as more and more took a bite outta her. Causing her to fall into the ground screaming in pain.
“Y/n!” Eddie screamed out for her. She coughed up blood and stumbled her way to her feet, she let out a battle cry as she closed her eyes and ripped every single demobat around her in half.
Blood running down the side of her nose, and she fell back onto the ground. Blood covering her mouth, and seeping through her clothes. “Y/n!” Eddie shouted.
Eddie ran towards (Y/n) reaching out for her as he slid, on the ground towards her body. “Oh God!” He exclaimed. Seeing her blood covered body.
‘Where were you when I was lonesome?’
‘Locked away with freezing cold’
He couldn’t bring himself to even look at the wounds, huge chunks of flesh taken out of her. “Oh God, Y/n.” Dustin whispered, sitting beside Eddie.
‘Someone flying only stolen’
‘I can't tell, this lights so old’
“Bad, huh?” She whispered. Looking up at the two most important people in her life. Both boys shook their head, “No. You're gonna be fine.” Eddie whispered. Soothing the top of her head.
‘I don't wanna swim the ocean’
‘I don't wanna fight the tide’
“Just gotta get you to a hospital, okay?” He says. Holding her hand and planting a kiss on it, “Okay.” She says,
‘I don't wanna swim forever’
‘When it's cold I'd like to die’
Eddie grabs hold of her and tries to help her up, “All right. All right.” Both boys say, but the pain in her side was too much. What was that my sweet, sweet nothing?
‘I can't hear you through the fog’
‘If I holler, let me go’
“I think…” She groans, falling back into Eddie’s arms. “Come on.” He pleads, and she shakes her head.
‘If I falter, let me know’
“Eddie we both know.” She says, and he shakes his head tears threatening to roll down his cheeks.
‘I don't wanna swim the ocean’
‘I don't wanna fight the tide’
Mustering up as much strength as she could. She places her hand on his cheek, “I didn't run away this time, right?” She says, smiling looking up at him.
‘I don't wanna swim forever’
‘When it's cold, I'd like to die’
“No. No. No. No. You didn't run.” Both boys say and she smiles, looking at him.
“Why? Why’d you do that?” Eddie asked, and she smiled. “Because, it’s your year baby your gonna graduate.” She said, and he shook his head.
“It’s our year baby our year.” He said, as he plants another kiss on her hand. “86, Baby.” He says, and she chuckled softly then coughs up blood.
“Dustin?”
“Y-Yeah” Dustin says, between sniffles.
“Promise me you’ll watch over this idiot for me. Make sure he doesn’t get himself killed.” She jokes. Causing a dry chuckle out of Dustin.
“I-I promise.” He cries, and then she turns towards Eddie. “T-Thank you. F-for give me *coughs* a normal life.” She says weakly.
‘I don't wanna swim forever’
‘I don't wanna fight the tide’
Letting out a chocked sob he stares down at her, “I love you guys,” She says, as she choking on her own blood. “I love you too,” They both say, and she smiles. “Your my hero Eddie.” She says, as her body went limp and her hand fell of his cheek.
‘I don't wanna swim the ocean’
‘When it's cold, I'd like to die’
Her eyes stared back at him lifeless, her lips frozen.“Y/n…..” Eddie shook her body, trying to wake her up.
“Y/n?” He said again shaking his head, trying to wake her up.
“Y/n!” He screamed. Tears rolling down his cheeks. Dustin shaking his head, “not my princess anyone but my princess!” He sobbed. Holding her close to his chest.
“Y/n!” Letting out a scream of anguish into the upside down as he held. The lifeless body of his dream girl.

"nothing is going to be okay" sounds like it's gonna hurt... tell me more.
It's meant to hurt. You and me both.
Adler's PiPs ~ Project: Nothing Is Going to Be Okay
Also known as Adler-toys-with-the-Major-Character-Death-tag. This is an exploration of every universe where Kevin, Andrew and/or Neil do not make it out. Sometimes Kevin dies; sometimes it's Andrew; other times it's Neil. Someone always dies. Doesn't matter if it's Kandreil, Andreil, Kandrew, Kevneil. Sometimes it's because of canon going slightly to the left. Sometimes it's because it's a totally different universe. Every variation is always merciless.
The origins of such a fun project? Music. It all stems from my personal playlist of the saddest soundtracks or instrumental pieces i religiously listen to, which i won't share until i finally get to writing this collection of grief. So far i have 96 pieces on that playlist. Will i write the boys dying 96 times? i doubt it, but each piece represents a universe with a specific scene and vision. sometimes if it's a soundtrack, i put the boys in that universe and kill 'em. sometimes it's the title of the piece that awakes something ugly in me. sometimes it's a combination of words and vibes. the possibilities are endless. the grief is infinite, a loop, inescapable. yes i got mental problems. yes i got meds for it. why do u ask.
Why the fun title? Ask Andrew.
"Your parents are dead, you are not fine, and nothing is going to be okay. This is not news to you. But from now until May you are still Neil Josten and I am still the man who said he would keep you alive. I don't care if you use this phone tomorrow. I don't care if you never use it again. But you are going to keep it on you because one day you might need it. On that day you're not going to run. You're going to think about what I promised you and you're going to make the call. Tell me you understand." (TRK)
Now! Some of the wips in the collection:
So This Is Christmas: based on Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by Gabrielle Aplin, i revisit Neil's days at the Nest and add a few more casualties. the boys take their turn kicking the bucket. this one is multi-chaptered.
fun fact: there are only 3 songs in the playlist that have lyrics: one of them is in an Arabic or Persian language that i do not speak/read, the other two are in English (Happy Xmas + my tears ricochet)
i would also like to note that Gabrielle Aplin's Happy Xmas is part of my aftg soundtrack project where i'm trying to imagine the series as a TV show and assemble music for specific scenes in multi-episodes seasons. this one i imagine playing with slow-motion scenes cutting back-and-forth between Neil's torture in the Nest over the holidays and the Foxes celebrating in NYC. my magnum opus if you will. i'm not even kidding. all my self-confidence is in that divine mission.
Andrew's Farewell: Hunger Games AU. a classic. the song? iykyk. the victim? iykyk.
On the Nature of Day(light): based on the piece by Max Richter (all variations and covers, but i do favor the original and the entropy). canon divergence AU where Kevin also intervenes at the end of TKM, when the Foxes win the Championships and there's the Riko-Neil-Andew showdown. establishing then destroying Kandreil.
Tennessee: based on the Hans Zimmer soundtrack for the film Pearl Harbor. i took inspiration from the title and the music, not the movie. totally war-unrelated. excerpt (Andreil, other Baltimore AU):
"We could go... We could go... to Tennessee..." "There's nothing in Tennessee, Abram." "Exactly..." *shaky pained smile*
Thin Orange Line: based on Journey to the Line by Hans Zimmer & Gavin Greenaway, from the film The Thin Red Line. War AU + Kandrew + Soldier Kevin Day carrying injured/unconscious Soldier Andrew Minyard to safety. only one makes it.
Other inspirations come from the soundtracks of The Last of Us (1 + 2 + HBO show), The Haunting of Bly Manor / Hill House, Max Richter, Hannibal (NBC show), House of the Dragon, Dune (Denis Villeneuve/Hans Zimmer), and many other shows, films, video games and original compositions / composers.
this project is my beloved baby. i remember it being the first push to create since a long while. i know it is very very sad, and that MCD is very rarely liked/read. i'm still invested. maybe i'll try out NaNoWriMo for a 3rd time with this project. i'm not giving up!
thank you anon, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the opportunity to info-dump and for allowing me to see that i actually have much more figured out than i thought. i'm glad the hurt/no comfort vibe bewitched you.

I almost hate how conservative (?) i am about miraxus... Lemme explain myself.
To begin with, I'm a classical nalu (x nagray, cuz natsu and gray are a married couple, i don't make the rules), and i love gajevy, and my other (other-other) pairings are hannigram, sns, sterek, destiel, geraskier, draciolus (if you know - you know), eruri, like..im a classical pansexual they/them with classic ass OTPs, and most of them are fuckin' GAY, and ofc i love it ... More gay = good for me, i love gay people, these are my people, my nation. Even the fuckin' Zukka. I love 'em. I think everyone should be gay.
But miraxus?
Heterosexuals.
Hundred percent.
Fucking heterosexuals.
I'm SHAKING abt it, LIKE, DAMN, BOTH OF YOU ARE SO FUCKIN' FRUITY, LIKE, LAXUS, THE FUCK DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT? U GAY MAN. U FUCKIN' BEAR. WHY ARE YOU SO GAY. And I'm looking at Mirajane and you don't know but SHE IS MY WIFE, AND I AM FEMALE, MY SEX IS FEMALE, SHE IS- SHE IS LIKE A DREAM. HAVE YOU SEEN HER? SHE'S. SHE'S. SHE!!!! S H E ! ! ! ! SHOULD I REALLY EXPLAIN MYSELF? MIRAJANE FUCKIN' STRAUSS.
But then.
I prefer to listen to my inner voice.
And my inner voice is saying they're both heterosexuals. MAXIMUM bisexuals. I can't explain it, i seriously cannot, i just genuinely think Mirajane somehow likes men (eeewwwww, ghoooorl, whyyyyyy), and Laxus likes women (understandable. relatable.), and I'm comfortable with it. I just think that's how it is, cuz it's fine - being heterosexual. I love them no matter what. And i know a lot of people ship also Mirajane x Erza, and i think it's wonderful, like, they are wives, c'mon, they are... But 2x.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who can separate canon-canon, fanon-canon, and fanon-fanon. Please. I need to know I'm not alone in this fucking fandom thinking this way. I really need it. I swear.
Canon-canon: we don't know their (miraxus) sexuality, so they can be whatever they want, they don't show any romantic interest in anyone in the PLOT of the anime/manga, in the action, not covers, etc.
Fanon-canon: Mirajane and Laxus are at least bisexuals and are prolly gonna end up together, Mashima said so, i think so, that's understandable and logical for me, i (personally) like it, cuz their personalities suit each other, that's why i wholeheartedly ship miraxus.
Fanon-fanon: they are all gay. All of them. All on them. Not a single person in that fucking guild is even a slightest bit hetero. No one. Literally zero heterosexuality per person. This is THE guild of lesbians and gays. AND I LOVE IT. I truly sincerely absolutely love it (cuz it once again makes Mirajane MY WIFEY, I LOVE MY WIFE!!!!).
And there's a second thing i hate abt myself when i think about miraxus compared to every single other pair i ship: when i think abt eruri or sns or *whoever* i think like yeah, they're gonna have max. two kids. That's all. Three - is unbelievable, but acceptable. But like..more on the unbelievable side, ykwim. Highly likely just two kids.
BUT MIRAXIS? IN MY HEAD? IN MY FANON-FANON HEAD? FIVE. And never less. (In fanon-canon just three).
FIVE CHILDREN. FIVE. FIVE FUCKIN' CHILDREN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY. I JUST DO. The older twins (boy and girl, ctrl c & ctrl v, the girl is copied from Laxus, the boy is completely Mirajane's child, except for appearance). Then - the third boy, and now HE'S looking like Mirajane, and calm like adult-her (not when he's pissed off, tho, when he's pissed off he's gonna throw you at a fuckin' wall with his confident soothing smile remaining). Then is the fourth girl with Laxus's hair and she's her grand grandpa's baby, she's like fem!Makarov, my ghorl is a calm clown, you don't know she's high until she opens her mouth. The fifth is also a girl and she's the best. And beast. Have you ever seen a baby capable of killing the whole guilt at the age of two years? She can. Cuz she's just learning how to talk and dad once said 'fairy law' and she repeated it and, well, they're so lucky she doesn't hate anybody........... They're so lucky... And now she's banned from magic. Yeah.
The happy family. One Mirajane, one Laxus, one miraxus mix, one Makarov copie, and one FUCKIN' DISASTER. Lovely, lovely children...
Am I okay? No, I'm not, wtf.

I was reminded of the pure delight that is the work of @shitpostsampler, and got the thought that in a modern AU Dustin would absolutely be into tumblr and shitposting, and he would totally ask his mom to put her crafting skill to good use for a gag gift to a friend.
Claudia is not sure what this stuff exactly makes reference to, but she's a good, supportive mom, and she likes that Dustin seems interested in her cross stitching, so she goes along and embroiders a little, weird sampler for Erica's birthday.
And from there, it's a deluge of personalized cross stitched things, each pattern carefully chosen by Dustin, while Claudia takes care of the rest.
Did I decide which pattern Dustin woul pick for each kid, teen, and Hopper and Joyce, either as a nice gesture or a gentle jab at the people in his life? Yes I did, of course!
(All the links are to the shitpostsampler store where you can buy their patterns, 95% of 'em being sold at pay-what-you-want prices).
Hopper - When I was younger I didn't understand why "may you live in interesting times" was considered a curse in ancient Greece.
Joyce - You will be ok. You have no choice.
Robin - Choose people who choose you
Steve - Patience my ass. I'm gonna kill something
Billy - Guide 4 teens: Tell the cops nothing. The the paramedics everything. Ur eyebrows are fine.
Billy (after he and Steve have been together and out long enough that Dustin had to listen to Steve wax poetics about Billy's ass-ets one too many times) - Be a bad ass with a good ass
Max - BRB, going feral
Mike - Momma didn't raise a quitter but she did raise a fool and it turns out those two things are a terrible combination
Will - If it weren't for the limitations of my corporeal form, I would have killed God and rebirthed the world in love and kindness
The rest is gonna get in a reblog because tumblr is having a hissy fit with 10 links already, it won't save the post if I try to add more... 🤦‍♀️

The Lady and the Lord
Chapter 9
Eddie munson x fem!reader
This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. 🥰
Chapter summary: time to kill the bastard.
Chapter warnings: spoiler season 4, blood, violence, trauma.
Tumblr media
Our first stop is Creel's house.
Erica, Lucas and Max goes to get out of the camper.
"Be careful, okay?" Steve tells them, then turn to Lucas. "I'm counting on you Sinclair. Anything happens, you put those headphones on her head, immediately"
"I will" Lucas replies with determination.
"We got it" Max remarks.
"We know you do" I give her an encouraging smile.
They all nod and go out... to the Creel's house.
"They're gonna be fine" Eddie whispers at me.
"Yeah... yeah, I know" I nod.
Then it's time to drive off to the trailer park.
We manage to find a good spot to leave the camper so...Time to go over the plan one last time.
"Okay. I wanna run through it one more time" Nancy starts "phase one"
"We meet Erica at the playground" Robin says while Nancy nods. "She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready."
"Phase two" Nancy asks.
"Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance." Steve answers.
"Phase three?"
"Me and Eddie draw the bat's away." Dustin answers.
"Four"
"We head into Vecna's lair, and... we kill him" I say.
"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what. Got it?" Nancy firmly instructs.
"Got it" we all say and get up, heading to Eddie's trailer.
We walk, literally, in the dark once again sneaking around the trailer park, careful not to make noise and catch everyone's attention. Finally we arrive at his trailer.
Obviously, Steve's the one to go first and set another mattress under the portal.
"Be careful" Dustin tells him.
"Thanks, buddy" Steve replies before grabbing the rope and climbs up and then down into the Upside Down with, what he thinks, is a cool flip, he even looks up to us with a proud grin.
"Wow.. what does he wants us to do, applaud?" Robin asks sarcastically.
"Yap. I think he misses the attention" I mutter, earning an amused cough from Nancy.
In the meantime Steve brought the mattress.
"Let's go" he tells us.
Nancy goes frist, with Robin's help she climbs to the Upside Down.
After her we throw the weapons through the gate and then we climb up too.
After retrieving weapons, bombs and shields we walk out.
"Hey, guys. Listen" Steve turns to Dusntin and Eddie. "If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort. Okay? Draw the attention of the bats. Keep 'em busy for a minute or two. We'll take care of Vecna. Don't try to be cute or be a hero or something. Okay? You guys are just--"
"Decoys" Dustin says for him. "Don't worry. You can be the hero, Steve"
I let out a small laugh.
"Absolutely. I mean, look at us. We're not heroes." Eddie agrees, showing a nervous smile.
So Steve starts to walk off, but Eddie stops him.
"Hey, Steve?" Steve turns to him and after a small pause Eddie speaks again "make him pay"
Steve nods and walks off, I send both him and Dustin a smile before following the other.
"Y/n?"
I turn around seeing Eddie walking towards me.
"I'll be right behind you guys, give me a minute" I tell them.
They a nod and walk away.
"Yes?" I ask Eddie, who looks back to check Dustin walking back in the trailer
"Uh... listen... since we don't know how this is gonna end... uh... can I kiss you?" He blurts out in a whisper.
That took me completely by surprise.
"I... sorry. I don't want our first kiss to be because something bad might happen. I want you to kiss me properly, when all this is over." I tell him.
"What you mean by 'properly', uh?" He asks.
"Push me against the wall, kinda thing, grab my hips... you know" I say with and embarrassed chuckle.
"Is that so?" He softly laughs.
"Yeah."
"Thought you wanted something sweet and soft" he teases.
"Oh, my lord, you'd be surprised" I wink.
"Is that a promise then? We get out of here and I finally get to kiss you?" He ask with a grin.
"And anything else you want" I smirk.
"Anything? I like the sound of that"
"Better stay alive then, uh?" I hug him and walk backwards before following Robin, Steve and Nancy.
We've been walking for, what feels like, forever. The Creel's house surely is far.
"Uh.. I don't mean to freak anyone out" Robin speaks up, breaking the silence "but I swear we've seen this tree before"
"That's impossible" Nancy immediately says.
"That would suck, right? If Vecna destroyed the world because... 'Cause we got lost on the woods?" Robin replies, rambling nervously.
"We're not lost, don't worry, okay? We'll get there soon enough" I try to reassure her.
She just chuckles and starts to walk faster ahead of us.
"Robin, hey. Watch out for the vines! Hive mind. Remember?" Nancy warns her.
"Ugh... I better catch up with her... before she falls" I say rushing to catch up with her.
"Thank you!" Steve says loudly.
With Robin sometimes it's like... co-parenting... she's cute, but...challenging.
"Robin, wait!" I say.
Once I finally do catch up with her, she grabs my hand and pulls me close to her as we walk.
"You good?" I ask with a chuckle.
"Just... freaked out" she admits.
"Hey.. you know we're gonna make it.. as always" I try once again to assure her.
"Nor even you fully believe that. You really can't sugar-coat things. Like... What if we don't make it? What if we fucked up and everything goes to shit?"
"You're right... I really can't sugar-coat anything...and well... if everything does go to shit. We tried. At least we tried." I squeeze her hand "I don't see anyone else here, do you?"
"No.."
"See? We're trying to do something, we might fail... that possibility has always been there, yet here we are, all of us."
"You're right" she simply says.
"I'm always right" I proudly say.
"Being friends with Steve made you a little too cocky, uh?" She teases.
"Oh.. God yes... please make it stop" I joke making her laugh.
"I will, I promise" she laughs.
Her gaze catch onto something in front of us.
The Creel's house.
"Shit! Told you we weren't lost!" I tell her, who immediately rush back to Steve and Nancy leaving me there.
"Be right back!" She tells me.
She comes back soon after with Nancy and Steve with her.
"There it is" I say pointing at the house "and... there they fucking are" I point at the bats flying over the house. "I think the guys are ready" I nod to the playground in front of the house where a small ball of energy sparks.
"Erica" Steve says and I nod.
So we head to her.
So far, so good.
We warn her we ready.
"Okay, the lovebirds have copied. Max is moving into phase two: distracting Vecna." She informs us.
"So far, so smooth" Robin comments.
"Yeah, we're not even at the hard part yet" Steve replies.
"Take the bait, you son of a bitch" I hear Nancy saying looking straight to the house.
Please Max be careful, I think.
"Hey.. it's okay." Steve whispers to me.
"I know... I know.. I'm just worried. I'm fine, Steve, I promise" I assure him.
"Tell me, though. Please"
"I will" I give him a smile before kneeling down to try and calm my nerves.
We wait and wait and wait.
Finally Erica speaks again.
"Okay, she's in. Initiate phase three"
Robin immediately grabs the walkie and inform Dustin and Eddie.
"She's in. Move on to phase three"
"Copy that. Initiating phase three" Dustin replies.
"Time for the concert of your life, Eddie" I mutter.
After a moment we faintly hear the unmistakable sound of an electric guitar.
Oh my god... that's of the new Metallica songs... fuck! how is it called? Master of Puppets, yes!
"Oh he's good" I comment.
The bats hear it too, they're quickly flying towards the "noise".
"Okay. It's working. Let's go" Nancy says.
We all stand walking to the house.
We enter the house, careful not to step on the vines. It's kind of difficult when the whole place is literally covered in them. Steve goes first, then Nancy, Robin and then me.
They start to walking up the stairs when I hear a noise. I stop for a moment to check if it's another creature or not.
"Guys" I whisper-shouts.
They turn to look at me from upstairs, but before I can tell them a big earthquake interrupts me.
"You guys okay?" I ask once the earthquake stops.
They don't have time to answer because a vine tied itself to Robin's ankle, next thing I know she's being held to the wall screaming for help.
I try to get upstairs while Steve and Nancy try to cut the vines and free her, but they're stopped by more tentacles slithering grabbing them, choking them against the wall.
I'm almost on top, almost to them, when I feel something wet crawling my leg. I try to wriggle free from it, but its hold is too tight, wrapped firmly on my leg, pulling.
I fell on the ground, hitting my arm hard, but I don't have enough time to react because I'm being dragged back downstairs and literally thrown back outside.
When I hit the ground I feel my sight darkening until I see nothing at all.
I finally open my eyes again.
It's difficult to breath, I feel vines still crawling over my body and I struggle to get free.
I manage to grab the shotgun and start to shoot at the roots, finally freeing myself.
I immediately stand up and run back to the house, but the door is closed shut.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" I try "Steve! Nancy! Robin!"
Fuck... I hope they're not answering because they can't hear me and not because they're still trapped.
"Y/N!"
Nancy.
"Nancy! I can't get back in!"
"Go back to the trailer then!" She tells me. "We can't open it either. We'll go upstairs and kill Vecna, you go back and find something to open this"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! We got it."
"Be careful, please!"
And then no answer again.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I take a very deep breath as soon as I feel myself shaking.
I'll go back to Dustin and Eddie and with them I can find a way. Yeah.
Another deep breath.
I start to run back to the trailer park.
I run as fast as I can.
All sorts of thought invade my mind.
What if they can't kill him?
What if he kills them first?
I couldn't stand losing any of them.. let alone all of them... I couldn't stand it again
I looked for Hopper when I saw Joyce back at Starcourt.
No signs of him.
Maybe he's talking to someone about this whole situation, I thought.
But then... I saw Joyce's face looking at El.
She wasn't happy, like "we won" kind of happy. No... she was devastated.
That's not possible, I said to myself. It can't be.
I kept looking at Joyce and El talking and then hugging. Joyce trying to comfort her.
When her eyes locked into mine... I fall.
Hopper was gone and I couldn't do anything about it.
I cried, my chest hurt... I couldn't breath.
But then, a hand touched my shoulder.
"Y/n..." Dustin's voice calmed me a little.
"Sweetheart..." Joyce. "I'm so sorry"
She kneeled with me holding me as I sobbed against her.
"I know.. I know."
I've never felt that pain before... not like that...
How can anyone survive that?
How?
"Ma'am?" Someone calls.
"I'll be right back, okay?" Joyce whispered at me.
"I'll stay here" Dustin offered then proceeded to kneel beside me and put his head on my shoulder reassuringly. "You know... uh, my mom always asks about you. Insists you're always too thin, well.. ever if you weighted more than a whale, you'd still be too thin for her..." he let out a small laugh "what I mean is, uh.. you're always welcome, you know"
"Thank you Dustin" I managed to say.
"You're always welcome at my house too" I turned around to see Mike standing up, holding El's hand. "I mean.. my whole family love you more than they love me so.. might as well" he added, with a chuckle.
I hold my hand out for El, who gently accepted it to sit with me as we hugged each other.
"At my house too" Lucas joined.
"Same" Max with him.
"And obviously.. same at mine" Will.
"Thank you guys"
As I approach the trailer park I see something moving... running.
I stop for a moment, trying to understand what's happening there.
Oh my god.
It's Eddie. He's running from the bats.. but why?
I scream as I see the bats knock Eddie over, off of the bike, but he stands up quickly, thankfully.
I get back to running, eyes fixed on him, I don't think he can see me, yet.
He's running away, but stops, turns around and grabs the shield and the spear.
Fuck.
No. No. No.
He manages to fight off a lots of them, but they're still too many and they manage to attack themselves at Eddie's sides.
I stop. Grab the shotgun... and aim.
I'm able to hit a few of them, before Eddie turns around and sees me.
I keep getting closer and closer as I shoot the creatures, until I'm basically by Eddie's side.
"What part of 'don't be heroes' you didn't understand, uh?" I scold him.
"Can't run forever" he simply answers.
I take care of those bats above us while Eddie the ones getting too close.
After what feels like eternity, the demobats, suddenly, fell.
"Maybe they did it..." I breath out.
"You think?" Eddie asks me.
"I hope... fuck..."
I feel Eddie's hand on my shoulder, to keep himself up, but he falls on the ground.
"Eddie?" I kneel down beside him, noticing just now the huge wounds on his body.
"Oh shit.. okay.. " I shakily say.
"That bad, uh?" He asks.
"No. Hey, look at me okay? It's okay. They're... not exactly good, but they're not that bad" I insist.
"Has anyone told you you can't sugar-coat anything?" He asks. Voice tired and weak.
I feel my eyes watering, there's so much blood... too much blood.
I have nothing to help him, except maybe...
I immediately take off the shirt he gave me and start to rip it.
"I'm gonna buy you a new one, I promise" I tell him.
"Hey... hey..." he weakly calls "I know we said after all this, but...seeing the situation..do you think I could get that kiss now?"
He laughs it off, but I can tell he's scared.
"I'm sorry, love" I force myself to smile as I put pressure on his wounds with some ripped tissues "We're gonna get you to the hospital. You're gonna be fine and then... you'll kiss me properly."
"Hey... uh... I didn't run away this time, right?" He asks and I let the tears freely fell.
"You didn't. You're so brave" I caress his cheek with one hand. "And you played amazingly too"
"Yeah?" He asks. "Did you hear it?"
"Definitely. Gotta have to play for me, one of these days" I wink at him.
"I'll play whatever you want, m'lady" he says in a pained whisper.
I keep putting pressure and clean his wounds, trying my best to take deep breaths and keep my hands steady.
"I liked that, you know" he speaks again in a whisper.
"What?"
"You calling me 'love'... I liked it" he admits almost shyly.
"You're getting shy on me now, Munson?" I try to joke, even if my tears disagree.
"With you? Always"
"Eddie!" I look up and see Dustin running to us. He's.. limping towards us.
"Dustin.. what the hell happened?"
"Hey buddy" Eddie says.
"He.. he said he wanted to buy more time and.. and cut the rope and took the mattress off so I had to climb up.." he cries.
"Okay.. Dustin listen. Keep pressure here, I'll run get the others"
"Are they okay? Why are you here?" He asks me.
"They're at the house, but the door closed and we couldn't open it. Now, please, keep pressing there okay?" I tell him, standing up and grabbing a spear, I don't know how helpful it would be but there's nothing much here.
"Hey.. don't leave me." Eddie's weak voice breaks my heart.
"I'll be right back. Okay? I promise" I tell him.
I turn back ready to run back to the Creel's house when I spot Nancy, Steve and Robin in the distance.
I rush to them, they do the same.
We meet halfway.
Steve's quickly to wrap his arms tightly around me, as Nancy and Robin catch up with him.
"Thank god you're okay, honey" he whispers.
"I was so scared" I say back, letting him go and immediately hugging Robin and Nancy.
"You did it?" I ask.
"Perfect flambé" Robin winks.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Eddie... You.. you guys need to help us"
I run with them back to Eddie and Dustin.
"Hey" I say kneeling back down with Dustin "told you I'd be back"
"Hey, m'lady" he weakly smile at me as I grab his hand, feeling more tears coming out.
"Help.. please" I look up to Steve who looks more scared than ever, not sure on what to do "please" I whisper.
Robin gently grabs me to make me stand up as Steve kneels down and with Dustin's help they manage to make Eddie stand.
That's a good sign.. right?
"It's gonna be okay, Y/n" Nancy tells me.
I just nod, eyes focused on Eddie's back as they walk to the trailer.
It's gonna be okay. I keep repeating in my head.
It has to...

The Lost Boys (All)
Are they a cat or dog person?
Grandpa:
dog
Thinks they’re great protection
Lucy:
dog
Loves all animals though
Michael:
used to be dog
after being bitten and some lasting affects from being a half vampire, he now appreciates cats
Sam:
obviously a dog person
Edgar:
dog
Alan:
Nanook has convinced him to switch to dog
Marko:
more of a bird guy
if he had to pick It’d be dogs
Dwayne:
loves a good cat
he actually asked the boys if he could get one and got an empty food container to the head from Marko.
“Are you crazy Dwayne? It’ll kill the pigeons”
Paul:
used to be dogs
due to getting body slammed events, he now doesn’t care for either if he survived he didn’t
except playful kittens
David:
Listen, I know he gives cat vibes
But I saw fan art of him with thorn (I’ll link it if I find the name)
I thought about how they were the last two possible survivors of their coven, so he has to like dogs
Maybe he switched, but he likes em now
After thorn eventually passes he does get a black cat and names it Dwayne junior
He also kept taking care of Marko’s birds
Star:
cat person through and through
maybe a small dog
Big dogs scare her
This became a problem when Nanook started to LOVE her
“You’re girlfriend is stealing my dog Mike! She doesn’t even like him!”
Star was sitting on the kitchen counter when Sam said this, trying to escape Nanook
She fell when he jumped up
Max
Dog
It’s not the cats of hell protecting him
The only thing that makes him not like being a vampire is that he can’t give Thorn the morning walks he deserves
Laddie
At first he was a cat person
Dogs always scared him
It didn’t help that they growled at him after becoming half
But after everything was over, I think he and Star moved into the Emerson house
He got used to Nanook with Michael and Sam’s help
Years later when he grew up he got a White Shepard
For some reason he just felt like a good name for the dog was Thorn, but couldn’t remember why

now I'm curious, what other opinions abt the dub do you have 👀👀👀 me and my friends think karamatsu sounds like markiplier
RAY CHASE BESTIE I AM SO SORRY but no youre rightJKGHFJGH
THIS GOT LONG IM PUTTING A READMORE
i do actually really really like Ray Chase as kara but the way that Nakamura pitches his voice down for him and then when something karamatsu isnt like. prepared for or whatever happens he goes back up into his regular vocal range or sometimes a bit higher really adds to karamatsu's whole. everything HJGKHFJGH LIKE his whole identity pretty much IS performance so even his voice being part of his front is so fun to me, Ray Chase's voice feels so naturally deep and smooth that its like. his voice is Too Cool for kara yknow like his voice being Actually cool? karamatsu fucking wishes JHKGJFGHD BUT i do think he is one of the better choices that the casting directors made compared to the rest of the brothers
(AGAIN NOT SHITTING ON THESE EXTREMELY PROLIFIC AND TALENTED VA'S this is just my opinion of them as the ososan characters)
like i said before i have Absolutely zero qualms with Max Mittelman as Totty literally thats a match made in heaven I think he was perfect for the role n absolutely killed it hes so funny and from what ive seen the writers actually gave him so many good lines big ups for todo likers
Kyle McCarley as Ichimatsu i honestly havent seen much of his performance but god did he put is whole pussy into the one episode where he INSISTS they have to respect each other, hes honestly really really good at maintaining the monotone voice while also conveying a lot of emotion through his voice its pretty impressive that he can do the yellingscreaming while keeping that up, Fukuyama Jun's like. jump from monotone to YEEEAAGHHK when ichimatsu is At His Limit is really really funny so i think that these two are pretty much on par with each other while putting their own spin on how the character . i dont know. expresses himself i guess. poggers :thumbs up emoji i cant use cus im typing on desktop:
in a ranking id prob put Ray's kara here but i already did him so. just. in case u wanted to know this is where he goes to me lmfao hes pretty on par with Kyle's ichimatsu to me tbh
Billy Kametz as Osomatsu honestly worked pretty well osomatsu is the most some guy ever and when u listen its like. a little over the top(obv bc its an anime dub) but its definitely a voice youd hear and go yeah ive probably walked past someone what talks like that, again Great delivery on some lines, he does sound a lot less SillyGoofy #girl... frat bro vibes in there tbh But i mean if he was american i guess he kinda would be huh GHJFGHDF he kinda lost how cheeky he sounds in jp also like there are moments but for the most part :( also the way they wrote him (again i havent seen much but from what i Have seen) he doesnt have the same I Love My Little Brothers energy idk how to describe it they all feel like they hate each other more rghjbhjgh
Sean Chiplock ouygugh im so sorry king but also not it for Choromatsu...... casting directors, voice directors, whoever else is involved in the process, if youre gonna cast around your initial reactions to how the characters are why doesnt he sound like a fuckin nerd!!! i get that hes initally played as a Straight Man but you didnt have to Just Some Dude him make him sound like the loser he is!! even like a little nasally! i also think he sounds a little too much like Billy's Osomatsu, (which again not the va's faults i feel its a voice direction issue) when they talk at the same time its kinda hard to tell em apart which might be on me for not watching enough and getting used to it but... sorrie... no from me
Michael Sinterniklaas i have so much repect for you but.... i already said in that other post, the voice they okayed..... everything he was made to say....... no. thats not jyushimatsu. that fuckin. companion character in some fantasy anime ass voice, his whole deal in the dub is too childish imo and i get why that was their first impression but oough his character suffers so so much for it moreso than any of the others.... they massacred my guy..... and this is absolutely not a dig at Michael, ive seen his other work hes incredibly talented, just everything they got him to do as jyushimatsu makes me take critical damage in real life my hp bar drops so so much
Also i really like Cassandra Lee Morris as Totoko but I feel like she doesnt capture the flip between teehee totoko chwwaaannn and KILL KILL KILL voices that Aya Endou manages, he voice is very cutesy, but i feel like she doesnt sound mad enough when totoko gets pissed WHERE IS YOUR ANGER? YOUR RAGE??? RISE RISE RISE RISE RI
also also Keith Silverstein as iyami is honestly really good i didnt really know what to expect but i feel like hes p spot on, idk how iyami-likers feel abt him though lol ask telly or sth HJGHJ
SORRY this got long but i probably was never gonna be happy with the dub, im not gonna get too much into the writing in the localisation but ough. it is Just a comedy show to the dub writers and i can respect that, but the show means a lot to people Because of the characters and how they clearly run deeper than they appear thats a huge part of the appeal for ososan imo and i feel like a lot was lost in the translation. But! it can be pretty funny sometimes and thats all it rlly needs to be, funny haha penis anime
im gonna try and give the dub another shot, ill do me best to grit n bear through it GHJFG

Our first stop is Creel's house.
Erica, Lucas and Max goes to get out of the camper.
"Be careful, okay?" Steve tells them, then turn to Lucas. "I'm counting on you Sinclair. Anything happens, you put those headphones on her head, immediately"
"I will" Lucas replies with determination.
"We got it" Max remarks.
"We know you do" I give her an encouraging smile.
They all nod and go out... to the Creel's house.
"They're gonna be fine" Eddie whispers at me.
"Yeah... yeah, I know" I nod.
Then it's time to drive off to the trailer park.
We manage to find a good spot to leave the camper so...Time to go over the plan one last time.
"Okay. I wanna run through it one more time" Nancy starts "phase one"
"We meet Erica at the playground" Robin says while Nancy nods. "She'll signal Max and Lucas when we're ready."
"Phase two" Nancy asks.
"Max baits Vecna. He'll go after her, which'll put him in his trance." Steve answers.
"Phase three?"
"Me and Eddie draw the bat's away." Dustin answers.
"Four"
"We head into Vecna's lair, and... we kill him" I say.
"Nobody moves on to the next phase until we've all copied. Nobody deviates from the plan, no matter what. Got it?" Nancy firmly instructs.
"Got it" we all say and get up, heading to Eddie's trailer.
We walk, literally, in the dark once again sneaking around the trailer park, careful not to make noise and catch everyone's attention. Finally we arrive at his trailer.
Obviously, Steve's the one to go first and set another mattress under the portal.
"Be careful" Dustin tells him.
"Thanks, buddy" Steve replies before grabbing the rope and climbs up and then down into the Upside Down with, what he thinks, is a cool flip, he even looks up to us with a proud grin.
"Wow.. what does he wants us to do, applaud?" Robin asks sarcastically.
"Yap. I think he misses the attention" I mutter, earning an amused cough from Nancy.
In the meantime Steve brought the mattress.
"Let's go" he tells us.
Nancy goes frist, with Robin's help she climbs to the Upside Down.
After her we throw the weapons through the gate and then we climb up too.
After retrieving weapons, bombs and shields we walk out.
"Hey, guys. Listen" Steve turns to Dusntin and Eddie. "If things here start to go south, I mean, at all, you abort. Okay? Draw the attention of the bats. Keep 'em busy for a minute or two. We'll take care of Vecna. Don't try to be cute or be a hero or something. Okay? You guys are just--"
"Decoys" Dustin says for him. "Don't worry. You can be the hero, Steve"
I let out a small laugh.
"Absolutely. I mean, look at us. We're not heroes." Eddie agrees, showing a nervous smile.
So Steve starts to walk off, but Eddie stops him.
"Hey, Steve?" Steve turns to him and after a small pause Eddie speaks again "make him pay"
Steve nods and walks off, I send both him and Dustin a smile before following the other.
"Y/n?"
I turn around seeing Eddie walking towards me.
"I'll be right behind you guys, give me a minute" I tell them.
They a nod and walk away.
"Yes?" I ask Eddie, who looks back to check Dustin walking back in the trailer
"Uh... listen... since we don't know how this is gonna end... uh... can I kiss you?" He blurts out in a whisper.
That took me completely by surprise.
"I... sorry. I don't want our first kiss to be because something bad might happen. I want you to kiss me properly, when all this is over." I tell him.
"What you mean by 'properly', uh?" He asks.
"Push me against the wall, kinda thing, grab my hips... you know" I say with and embarrassed chuckle.
"Is that so?" He softly laughs.
"Yeah."
"Thought you wanted something sweet and soft" he teases.
"Oh, my lord, you'd be surprised" I wink.
"Is that a promise then? We get out of here and I finally get to kiss you?" He ask with a grin.
"And anything else you want" I smirk.
"Anything? I like the sound of that"
"Better stay alive then, uh?" I hug him and walk backwards before following Robin, Steve and Nancy.
We've been walking for, what feels like, forever. The Creel's house surely is far.
"Uh.. I don't mean to freak anyone out" Robin speaks up, breaking the silence "but I swear we've seen this tree before"
"That's impossible" Nancy immediately says.
"That would suck, right? If Vecna destroyed the world because... 'Cause we got lost on the woods?" Robin replies, rambling nervously.
"We're not lost, don't worry, okay? We'll get there soon enough" I try to reassure her.
She just chuckles and starts to walk faster ahead of us.
"Robin, hey. Watch out for the vines! Hive mind. Remember?" Nancy warns her.
"Ugh... I better catch up with her... before she falls" I say rushing to catch up with her.
"Thank you!" Steve says loudly.
With Robin sometimes it's like... co-parenting... she's cute, but...challenging.
"Robin, wait!" I say.
Once I finally do catch up with her, she grabs my hand and pulls me close to her as we walk.
"You good?" I ask with a chuckle.
"Just... freaked out" she admits.
"Hey.. you know we're gonna make it.. as always" I try once again to assure her.
"Nor even you fully believe that. You really can't sugar-coat things. Like... What if we don't make it? What if we fucked up and everything goes to shit?"
"You're right... I really can't sugar-coat anything...and well... if everything does go to shit. We tried. At least we tried." I squeeze her hand "I don't see anyone else here, do you?"
"No.."
"See? We're trying to do something, we might fail... that possibility has always been there, yet here we are, all of us."
"You're right" she simply says.
"I'm always right" I proudly say.
"Being friends with Steve made you a little too cocky, uh?" She teases.
"Oh.. God yes... please make it stop" I joke making her laugh.
"I will, I promise" she laughs.
Her gaze catch onto something in front of us.
The Creel's house.
"Shit! Told you we weren't lost!" I tell her, who immediately rush back to Steve and Nancy leaving me there.
"Be right back!" She tells me.
She comes back soon after with Nancy and Steve with her.
"There it is" I say pointing at the house "and... there they fucking are" I point at the bats flying over the house. "I think the guys are ready" I nod to the playground in front of the house where a small ball of energy sparks.
"Erica" Steve says and I nod.
So we head to her.
So far, so good.
We warn her we ready.
"Okay, the lovebirds have copied. Max is moving into phase two: distracting Vecna." She informs us.
"So far, so smooth" Robin comments.
"Yeah, we're not even at the hard part yet" Steve replies.
"Take the bait, you son of a bitch" I hear Nancy saying looking straight to the house.
Please Max be careful, I think.
"Hey.. it's okay." Steve whispers to me.
"I know... I know.. I'm just worried. I'm fine, Steve, I promise" I assure him.
"Tell me, though. Please"
"I will" I give him a smile before kneeling down to try and calm my nerves.
We wait and wait and wait.
Finally Erica speaks again.
"Okay, she's in. Initiate phase three"
Robin immediately grabs the walkie and inform Dustin and Eddie.
"She's in. Move on to phase three"
"Copy that. Initiating phase three" Dustin replies.
"Time for the concert of your life, Eddie" I mutter.
After a moment we faintly hear the unmistakable sound of an electric guitar.
Oh my god... that's of the new Metallica songs... fuck! how is it called? Master of Puppets, yes!
"Oh he's good" I comment.
The bats hear it too, they're quickly flying towards the "noise".
"Okay. It's working. Let's go" Nancy says.
We all stand walking to the house.
We enter the house, careful not to step on the vines. It's kind of difficult when the whole place is literally covered in them. Steve goes first, then Nancy, Robin and then me.
They start to walking up the stairs when I hear a noise. I stop for a moment to check if it's another creature or not.
"Guys" I whisper-shouts.
They turn to look at me from upstairs, but before I can tell them a big earthquake interrupts me.
"You guys okay?" I ask once the earthquake stops.
They don't have time to answer because a vine tied itself to Robin's ankle, next thing I know she's being held to the wall screaming for help.
I try to get upstairs while Steve and Nancy try to cut the vines and free her, but they're stopped by more tentacles slithering grabbing them, choking them against the wall.
I'm almost on top, almost to them, when I feel something wet crawling my leg. I try to wriggle free from it, but its hold is too tight, wrapped firmly on my leg, pulling.
I fell on the ground, hitting my arm hard, but I don't have enough time to react because I'm being dragged back downstairs and literally thrown back outside.
When I hit the ground I feel my sight darkening until I see nothing at all.
I finally open my eyes again.
It's difficult to breath, I feel vines still crawling over my body and I struggle to get free.
I manage to grab the shotgun and start to shoot at the roots, finally freeing myself.
I immediately stand up and run back to the house, but the door is closed shut.
"Hey! Can you hear me?" I try "Steve! Nancy! Robin!"
Fuck... I hope they're not answering because they can't hear me and not because they're still trapped.
"Y/N!"
Nancy.
"Nancy! I can't get back in!"
"Go back to the trailer then!" She tells me. "We can't open it either. We'll go upstairs and kill Vecna, you go back and find something to open this"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! We got it."
"Be careful, please!"
And then no answer again.
Fuck.
Fuck.
I take a very deep breath as soon as I feel myself shaking.
I'll go back to Dustin and Eddie and with them I can find a way. Yeah.
Another deep breath.
I start to run back to the trailer park.
I run as fast as I can.
All sorts of thought invade my mind.
What if they can't kill him?
What if he kills them first?
I couldn't stand losing any of them.. let alone all of them... I couldn't stand it again
I looked for Hopper when I saw Joyce back at Starcourt.
No signs of him.
Maybe he's talking to someone about this whole situation, I thought.
But then... I saw Joyce's face looking at El.
She wasn't happy, like "we won" kind of happy. No... she was devastated.
That's not possible, I said to myself. It can't be.
I kept looking at Joyce and El talking and then hugging. Joyce trying to comfort her.
When her eyes locked into mine... I fall.
Hopper was gone and I couldn't do anything about it.
I cried, my chest hurt... I couldn't breath.
But then, a hand touched my shoulder.
"Y/n..." Dustin's voice calmed me a little.
"Sweetheart..." Joyce. "I'm so sorry"
She kneeled with me holding me as I sobbed against her.
"I know.. I know."
I've never felt that pain before... not like that...
How can anyone survive that?
How?
"Ma'am?"Someone calls.
"I'll be right back, okay?" Joyce whispered at me.
"I'll stay here" Dustin offered then proceeded to kneel beside me and put his head on my shoulder reassuringly. "You know... uh, my mom always asks about you. Insists you're always too thin, well.. ever if you weighted more than a whale, you'd still be too thin for her..." he let out a small laugh "what I mean is, uh.. you're always welcome, you know"
"Thank you Dustin" I managed to say.
"You're always welcome at my house too" I turned around to see Mike standing up, holding El's hand. "I mean.. my whole family love you more than they love me so.. might as well" he added, with a chuckle.
I hold my hand out for El, who gently accepted it to sit with me as we hugged each other.
"At my house too" Lucas joined.
"Same" Max with him.
"And obviously.. same at mine" Will.
"Thank you guys"
As I approach the trailer park I see something moving... running.
I stop for a moment, trying to understand what's happening there.
Oh my god.
It's Eddie. He's running from the bats.. but why?
I scream as I see the bats knock Eddie over, off of the bike, but he stands up quickly, thankfully.
I get back to running, eyes fixed on him, I don't think he can see me, yet.
He's running away, but stops, turns around and grabs the shield and the spear.
Fuck.
No. No. No.
He manages to fight off a lots of them, but they're still too many and they manage to attack themselves at Eddie's sides.
I stop. Grab the shotgun... and aim.
I'm able to hit a few of them, before Eddie turns around and sees me.
I keep getting closer and closer as I shoot the creatures, until I'm basically by Eddie's side.
"What part of 'don't be heroes' you didn't understand, uh?" I scold him.
"Can't run forever" he simply answers.
I take care of those bats above us while Eddie the ones getting too close.
After what feels like eternity, the demobats, suddenly, fell.
"Maybe they did it..." I breath out.
"You think?" Eddie asks me.
"I hope... fuck..."
I feel Eddie's hand on my shoulder, to keep himself up, but he falls on the ground.
"Eddie?" I kneel down beside him, noticing just now the huge wounds on his body.
"Oh shit.. okay.. " I shakily say.
"That bad, uh?" He asks.
"No. Hey, look at me okay? It's okay. They're... not exactly good, but they're not that bad" I insist.
"Has anyone told you you can't sugar-coat anything?" He asks. Voice tired and weak.
I feel my eyes watering, there's so much blood... too much blood.
I have nothing to help him, except maybe...
I immediately take off the shirt he gave me and start to rip it.
"I'm gonna buy you a new one, I promise" I tell him.
"Hey... hey..." he weakly calls "I know we said after all this, but...seeing the situation..do you think I could get that kiss now?"
He laughs it off, but I can tell he's scared.
"I'm sorry, love" I force myself to smile as I put pressure on his wounds with some ripped tissues "We're gonna get you to the hospital. You're gonna be fine and then... you'll kiss me properly."
"Hey... uh... I didn't run away this time, right?" He asks and I let the tears freely fell.
"You didn't. You're so brave" I caress his cheek with one hand. "And you played amazingly too"
"Yeah?" He asks. "Did you hear it?"
"Definitely. Gotta have to play for me, one of these days" I wink at him.
"I'll play whatever you want, m'lady" he says in a pained whisper.
I keep putting pressure and clean his wounds, trying my best to take deep breaths and keep my hands steady.
"I liked that, you know" he speaks again in a whisper.
"What?"
"You calling me 'love'... I liked it" he admits almost shyly.
"You're getting shy on me now, Munson?" I try to joke, even if my tears disagree.
"With you? Always"
"Eddie!" I look up and see Dustin running to us. He's.. limping towards us.
"Dustin.. what the hell happened?"
"Hey buddy" Eddie says.
"He.. he said he wanted to buy more time and.. and cut the rope and took the mattress off so I had to climb up.." he cries.
"Okay.. Dustin listen. Keep pressure here, I'll run get the others"
"Are they okay? Why are you here?" He asks me.
"They're at the house, but the door closed and we couldn't open it. Now, please, keep pressing there okay?" I tell him, standing up and grabbing a spear, I don't know how helpful it would be but there's nothing much here.
"Hey.. don't leave me." Eddie's weak voice breaks my heart.
"I'll be right back. Okay? I promise" I tell him.
I turn back ready to run back to the Creel's house when I spot Nancy, Steve and Robin in the distance.
I rush to them, they do the same.
We meet halfway.
Steve's quickly to wrap his arms tightly around me, as Nancy and Robin catch up with him.
"Thank god you're okay, honey" he whispers.
"I was so scared" I say back, letting him go and immediately hugging Robin and Nancy.
"You did it?" I ask.
"Perfect flambé" Robin winks.
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Eddie... You.. you guys need to help us"
I run with them back to Eddie and Dustin.
"Hey" I say kneeling back down with Dustin "told you I'd be back"
"Hey, m'lady" he weakly smile at me as I grab his hand, feeling more tears coming out.
"Help.. please" I look up to Steve who looks more scared than ever, not sure on what to do "please" I whisper.
Robin gently grabs me to make me stand up as Steve kneels down and with Dustin's help they manage to make Eddie stand.
That's a good sign.. right?
"It's gonna be okay, Y/n" Nancy tells me.
I just nod, eyes focused on Eddie's back as they walk to the trailer.
It's gonna be okay. I keep repeating in my head.
It has to...

Okay, here's some more The Quarry head canons while i wait for my computer to update (i love writing these):
After Ryan's third year coming back to be a counsellor after the re-opening of Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp, Caleb decides to make him co-owner alongside Max instead of just a counsellor. Caleb quits, and decides to become a cop like his Uncle Travis. Travis deserves a load off his shoulders once in a while.
Its complicated, and Ryan remembers a Bizarre Yet Bonafide episode on people who take ownership of generational family land without being apart of the bloodline being cursed and has some superstitions about becoming co-owner — but Caleb tells him Chris would've wanted it, and that gets Ryan to ease up.
Ryan still tells ghost stories to the kids.
He moves to Night Kill, much like Laura and Max.
He manages to convince Kaitlyn to visit, but she never stays longer than three days and never on a week with a full moon.
Max is the least organised camp owner ever. Never wears the uniform (most because he doesn't want to look stupid.), doesn't know the schedules, etc. Laura is pretty sure he wasn't ready for the responsibility but took it anyway. She helps him on most nights to get things in order.
Ryan wears the uniform that Chris used to wear (not the...exact one. Chris had a lot of spares being a werewolf and all) for the first week of summer before deciding it was uncomfortable and goes back to his regular clothes. Being a camp mentor wasn't about the looks, after all.
He manages to convince Dylan to come down, after an entire spring of begging for some company besides Laura and Max. "Listen, I love em'. I bled with Laura, man, i let her bite me, but come on. I'm going crazy."
Laura is the camp nurse, but otherwise spends time hunting with Bobby. This time, regular hunting.
Speaking of Bobby, Ryan is iffy around him — considering he was literally stabbed by him, but they get over their differences and Ryan realises that Bobby was only doing as he saw/was told.
When Dylan finally does come down to Hackett's Quarry, things are awkward. He and Ryan never really talked face-to-face after their trial in court, especially not about what they were.
Despite this, when they first see each other, they hug for a solid three minutes. Ryan is almost afraid if he lets go, Dylan wont really be there, and Dylan is afraid that if he lets go that Ryan will see how much has changed and will regret asking him to come.
"I was listening to that stupid podcast during the ride here."
"And?"
"How are you still sane? I wanted to climb through my phone and strangle everyone involved in making something so stupid. Several times."
"They cleared our names, Dylan."
"Yeah, yeah. We all know who sent them that stupid package."
Flirting ensues.
Emma sees an ad for Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp in the paper and tells all of her subscribers about Ryan being the new face of the camp, and shares some stories about him. She also sees Max, is confused for a moment, then remembers him as Laura's boyfriend.
"You guys see this stupid face? This is that bitch i tased. I mean... it was a very different looking face, but it was this face behind all of the whole ugly...furless werewolf thing."
She doesnt know if her subscribers actually believe the whole werewolf thing, but regardless, she tells everything as she remembers.
Jacob starts a tiktok about his experience as a summer camp counsellor, but also for his love of peanut butter butter pops. In his bio it says,
He/him yes I'm that guy that brought back the best snack under the sun.
He almost goes back to Hacketts quarry, just for a tiktok video, but changes his mind mostly because he doesn't want to run around the forest naked again by accident somehow.
Abigail sees the same ad in the paper and texts Emma about considering going back.
Emma gives her a psychological evaluation - which is literally just a BuzzFeed quiz of "would YOU get murdered in a horror movie?"
Abigail got traumatised but lived, and takes that as a sign to go back. She really enjoyed her time at the camp as a counsellor, besides the whole...almost dying to her almost summer boyfriend.
Ryan is pleased to see her, and Dylan is happy to see her too. One more person to hear his jokes.
Dylan gives the announcements every morning like usual, but every night he makes an announcement now too, "stay in your cabins during the night, kids, or a bear will get you and eat off your hand like they did to mine!"
He gets more and more creative every night. Every one of the nightly announcements are about bears, maybe sometimes he makes a remark about a boar to tease Abigail.
One of the kids, during bonfire night, asks Ryan about the supposed werewolves.
Ryan brings a flashlight up to his face, illuminating him in the dark and starts telling some stereotypical horror story about werewolves he saw on the internet a while back, but changes the location to Hacketts Quarry.
"And thats why you never wanna talk about them. Cause they'll hear you. And they'll.. eat. You. Right. Up."
Dylan walks into the circle coincidentally just as he says that and is met with screams.
He screams back.
Max scolds Ryan for telling scary stories to the kids, and Ryan remembers that Chris had said something similar and withdraws a little with the scary stories.
Nick makes a short film about turning into a werewolf (totally not based on reality.)
Emma finds it funny, and reacts/reviews it on her youtube channel.
Abigail, always supportive and sweet, helps with some of the concept art for the (animated) werewolves. Nick wonders if any of the designs are reminiscent of what he looked like as one, but picks blindly.
Laura finds what she was looking for in coming back to Hacketts Quarry and Night Kill, eventually. Peace with what happened.
The nightmares might stay, the memories wont go away, but she manages to sleep a little easier after one long night talking to Travis about that fateful day.
Laura makes a headstone for Silas near the quarry. That weight on her shoulders is a little lighter.
Dylan and Ryan sit together on the last day of the summer, after all the new counsellors plus Abigail have left once more, and talk.
Dylan removes his prosthetic, allows himself to be vulnerable near Ryan, and asks about Kaitlyn. The jokes are gone and the awkwardness and flirting are too. They'd been avoiding this all summer.
Ryan tells him that he hadnt been ready for a relationship with neither of them when he was 18 and going to college. Now almost 25, and having spent another whole summer with Dylan, its different.
(Before this conversation Ryan talked to Abigail, got some advice, also talked to Kaitlyn and got some firmer advice and some scolding for being stupid and avoiding talking like adults do)
Dylan and Ryan figure out whats different, and its how they feel about each other. They establish they like each other, romantically, and Dylan talks about how disappointed he was when they reconnected after that last night long ago and Ryan acted like they hadnt gotten closer - like they hadnt kissed, protect and bled for each other, etc.
Ryan feels like an asshole.
Ryan isnt an asshole, so he apologises and offers an explanation.
Its not the best explanation, and not what Dylan wanted to hear, but its the truth and Dylan is happy with it.
Everyone, after that summer in Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp, had been traumatised and came out different than when they went in. Changed. Ryan had needed time, and Dylan was patient enough.
Max steps out just as they kiss, holding four mugs of hot cocoa he'd made in celebration, swiftly does a three sixty and heads back to Laura in the kitchen grabbing some snacks (they'd planned to watch that stupid short film before Dylan had to go, and share some stories or whatever)
"You owe me fifty bucks." He tells Laura.
Re-upload as a separate post instead of a reblog. Might add more later :)

depressing ass stranger things headcanons of mine:
Tumblr media
-You know that scene where Max is sitting on Billy’s bed after he’s gone? Yeah, she went through his closet and picked out a couple shirts to keep. Kept a jacket that she never wears. I like to think she even went through his cassette tapes, shaking her head at some of them, but wiping tears all the same, and took a Metallica one (presumably Kill ‘Em All) that she used to see him pop in repeatedly in the Camaro. It’s under her bed in a box, as she hasn’t been able to bring herself to listen to it yet.
-El laying on the couch with Joyce after the move, watching Miami Vice on Friday nights. sometimes tearing up without Hopper to make jokes or pick on things.
-Maybe Max has a mechanic friend, similar to that “really good lawyer” (Sorry but I hear lawyer and immediately assume Matt Murdock) that she knows, and begged to keep the Camaro safe, promising she’d save up to fix it and keep it for herself when she learned to drive officially. Even though she hated it sometimes, she can’t just have it disappear.
The above is partially because I worry myself sick over what happened to the Camaro, and the idea of it being taken to a junk yard makes me overwhelmingly sad. and I can’t imagine Neil giving two shits about it and wanting to pay to fix it.
-The Party members that remain in Hawkins riding their bikes by the Byers’ old house because they miss it. Miss the walls that once had a goddamn alphabet painted on them, or running up and down the hallway, or playing D&D on Will’s bedroom floor. Mike, more specifically, does it most often, more often than he’d ever admit, and usually doesn’t tell anyone when he goes alone.
-After Eddie, Dustin starts listening to Metallica, or Black Sabbath, sometimes branching out to Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. He wants to feel closer to the brother figure he lost, and after the “most metal ever” performance, he realizes he’s been missing out on good shit. He only listens to the music when he’s alone, and adopts Max’s headphones-on-hand-at-all-times method. sometimes the others ask him what he’s humming, but he just keeps it to himself.
-Dustin wears his Weird-Al shirt more often, (“You were wearing a Weird Al shirt, which I thought was brave”) as a reminder of Eddie. But he did ask his mom to buy him a Metallica one, and he wears it pretty often.
-Lucas really is a Kate Bush fan now. He sits in the hospital beside Max, listening and thinking about how Max has felt recently, and wanting to feel closer to her. Promising himself to never let her slip out of his grip again.
-Steve and Robin get a copy of that Eddie picture that Wayne puts up (the Dio shirt one) and put it up in the Family Video, and get a name tag made with “hero” emblazoned on it. Steve scolds anyone who says a fucking thing about it. Steve also tells Eddie about new movies when they come out. Think of it as an unofficial Eddie Munson shrine.
Imagine, if you will. It’s 1987, and the first trailer for The Lost Boys has come out. Steve watches it with Dustin one day when they’re together, and they both know that Eddie would’ve been so down to see it, so they tell his picture about it, and then go see it together.
-Max sends El a letter that has a couple polaroids of the Spring flowers in Hawkins in it. She knows how much she loved those, and wants to bring a little comfort to El what with everything going on. Also, Max signs her letters “Love, Max.” (Yes Mike, I’m talking to you.)
okay, i will stop now that i have hurt my own feelings.

also we finally played the quarry! we did 'wolf pack mode' which was p cool, would probably be more dramatic with more than 2 players lol
spoilers ofc
hands down their best effort since until dawn. leagues ahead of any of the others. wow. it was immediately apparent.
really liked the little tutorial videos in concept, they were super fun and added to the theming. although i found the actual UI for the QTEs not very good, lol, and you have to rewatch the ENTIRE tutorial video every time you wanna practice, even when you fail em
most of the cast is soooo obnoxious and mean for no reason... just like until dawn <3
i loved p much all the women except abi who never passed out of her bland origins. laura was the surprise fave lmao when she turned up w her eyepatch we were floored
i warmed up to dylan as the game went on, and max, but none of the other guys really grew on me. i badly wanted to like ryan since he was such a major character but he was so monotone and his characterization was all over the place
ryan/laura was terrible and hilarious lmao
unfortunately we got ryan, laura, kaitlyn and jacob killed, so we got a really abrupt ending. then we watched the 'everybody lives' ending and it was still... pretty abrupt? it really feels like they planted the evidence collection thing as a collectible mechanic, which is a great idea imo, but then ran out of dev time to properly implement it in the ending
the podcast in the credits was absolutely unbearable. the wannabe Shane and Ryan schtick was bad enough just to listen to the podcast eps, but when you know players are sitting there hoping for resolution on the cast and you're making us listen to these two assholes riff about dulling keys for 20 mins... lmao. we couldn't finish it
plus why in god's name would the kids send their evidence to the podcast ..............
also, some of the maps had too much "wander around and be scared just because it's spooky but nothing is actually happening" segments. like at least let me find clues or something while i'm doing that. the scrapyard segment was awful!
overall though i had a lot of fun and enjoyed my time with this game much more than any of the dark pictures anthology games. hope supermassive takes their time with the next one to do it properly as well

hi there!!!!! movie night with the main four would be cool :D
Hello it's my turn a lot of these sound negative but i genuinely think chilling with these guys watching garbage would be fun and also idk if these are supposed to be like romantic or not. But i hope they're good
>Snack spit polycule basically I doubt any of these men would care about double dipping except matt who gets really fucking upset and isnt allowed to eat anything unless he stops being a little bitch about it. Edd actively likes it because he feels like he's consuming a part of them forever but he's fucking weird. Tom thinks it's funny if you're grossed out but tord is literally true neutral on the matter. Anyway if you want to eat anything you have to be fully up for this.
>Tord eats 1 pack of sour patch kids per movie (max he's allowed). He likes sour and bitter stuff. But if he's allowed to truly enjoy himself he gets too powerful
>*Crunch sound effect* *crunch sound effect* *you look over your shoulder* *it's tom* *he's chewing on your hair*
>if it's not INSANE ZOMBIE PIRATES FROM HELL it'll take 6 hours to decide on a single movie. So you're looking at like, a movie week probably
>So yeah you better be ok with grown men licking their fingers and sticking their hands in a communal bowl or youll starve to death
>Speaking of which Edd owns cute bowls specifically for this kind of thing. Like party trays and shit but they're not fucking hosting parties. Anyway matt always tries to use em but everyone complains about how he didn't fill it with what they specifically happened to want in that moment until finally matt flips the tray and storms off.
>If one doesnt like the film choice he will be talking very loudly over it for the majority of it. Or if he really likes it. They're all like this (autistic, also bitchy)
>Tord in particular. He doesnt talk much until he's not supposed to. #girl
>Toms more on the bitchy side. Regardless of his opinions on it he'll also riff on the movie
>Matt bitches occasionally but also doesnt shut up when it's a movie he likes.
>Edd riffs w tom half the time and the other half he's listening to tord nitpick plot holes obediently and responding with "it's gay af to care about a plot hole…what are you so interested in hole for?"
>It's all quite…how do you say…annoying?
>You sure you want to go when they invite u?
>Okay…
>Tord WILL try to deceive you into watching gore or softcore porn. Or hardcore porn he's not against that. He thinks it's funny when everyone storms off in disgust.
>Tom will goad you into watching morbius. That or he'll put on old indie horror and claim it's the best ever or experimental surrealist artsy fartsy stuff. Where'd he even get that tape? When you ask he says it was made by a couple who lived at the end of the street for three years and gave it to him immediately before the birth of their first child. A year later, they abandoned the house, which is still empty (he breaks into it sometimes to hear the family's voices carry thru the air in there). He doesnt know where it was filmed, and when you watch, it doesn't quite look of this earth. Oh, this one he got at a garage sale he happened to spot in atlantis–
>matt likes documentary movies but no one watches those on movie night. So he says he'll watch whatever…but really he'll reject most of the things anyone else suggests. Also if you put on a franchise he'll want to watch the whole thing in one sitting regardless of how many movies there are unless he doesn't, in which case if you try to put on more than two seconds of a sequel he will kill you.
>edd is passive aggressive about the whole thing. He wants you to KNOW what he wants to watch, even when he doesn't. Also when what he wants to watch is the goofy movie.
>The room is EXTREMELY warm. Tanktop and shorts warm. Air conditioner in the middle of winter warm.
>Idk if this is a romantic request but if you offer or request buttered popcorn you will not be in that relationship when the night is over

for: @xanwritesx who: fletcher + aiden + leon + ren au: endure and survive
he’d been a fool to doubt her, he thinks.
one by one, the men had fallen like toy soldier’s in her wake, inspiring panic within the hunters stationed outside to guard their lair. leon watched from the cover of a wall, listening to the shouts between men. someone had breached their watch; and the hunters had become the hunted.
he only sees her for the briefest of seconds. every time her hand covered a poor man’s mouth and her knife sliced through his throat. not once did a hunter shoot his weapon, and never did he get the chance to. max moved through the half a dozen hunters like the wind swept through the trees. easily, gracefully, like nothing stood in her way. when she returns, he doesn’t recognise her. she is smeared with blood and cares nothing for it. 
she’d lived in the dark long before anyone else. this much, he no longer doubted.
without a word shared between them, max and leon creep through the grounds into the old building. he assumes now it used to be filled with offices for the everyday business man. now,it housed all sorts of horrors he had no intention of thinking about. they’re past the gates and through the parking lot without a whisper or a sound, and when they enter through the front, he sees the bodies max left behind. clean kills, he notes. 
she’s far too good at this for his liking.
“you’re on your own from here out,” max whispers finally, nodding towards the stairs leading up. “third floor up. don’ know how many are up there wit’ ‘em. man’s said a handful, mais, could be lyin’.”
“makes no difference to me,” leon murmurs, gripping his gun tighter. “i’ll think of somethin’.”
“the less noise the better, you understandin’?”
leon nods.
“find him. find him an’ bring him home.”
“you too.”
“i mean it, leon. i–”
“i’ll find him, max. trust me. concentrate on finn. i’ve got this.”
she nods, but he sees it in her eyes. how she doesn’t trust him, how it tears her in two to have to choose. but she can see it in him, too. how there isn’t a choice. how the moment they walked in here, leon had no intention of looking for finn. at least, not at first. maybe he’d give it a go once he’d found fletcher, or maybe he’d be lucky enough to find them together. but as much as he’d have tried eventually to find the other boy; leon had come for fletcher. and that, was something max needed to rely on now.
the shadow leaves him first, taking another set of stairs further down the corridor. they’d agreed heading in different directions to climb to their targets would be the better option, and while leon would’ve preferred a partner at his back; he understood. they couldn’t chance being caught together, and if one happened to fall into trouble, at least the other would be able to continue forth. 
it isn’t long, however, before he runs into his own trouble. the third floor isn’t swarming with hunters like he’d assumed, but the ones left to guard the very door he wants into make his skin crawl. all of them were laughing and smiling, raising drinks like they’d won something wonderful. all of them with bruised knuckles, and pride on their faces. “can’t believe the little runt still has some fight in him,” one of them cackles, knocking his drink back in one gulp. 
“for now,” another says, sipping his drink far more casually than the others. he runs hand back over his greasy hair, pushing back the stray strands from his rat like face.
“gettin’ impatient, are you?” the one man says. “you can’t touch them yet, weasel. boss isn’t finished with them yet.”
the greasy smothered man sniffs and stands, tossing his empty bottle aside. “soon,” he tells them, turning on heel to walk away. “soon.”
with a twist of disgust in his stomach turning into rage, leon forces himself to be patient. to let the bastard go and reduce his numbers for this fight. he’s no max, this much he can acknowledge. there’s no sulking around in the shadows for him. only brute force and violence and the trust in his aim. and so he waits for as many minutes as he can spare before he’s sure no one else is to return and make the pair a trio again before he takes a breath and rolls out from around the corner and aims his gun.
max’s homemade silencer does him proud for only one shot, the bottle on the end of his gun sheltering the sound of his bullet, but falling away in time with his target. ‘good for one shot,’ she’d told him. ‘make it count’. he rushes forth, knocking his surprised victim to the ground before he can register the death of his friend, and leon shoves the head of the still hot gun past the hunter’s teeth.
“where are the boys?” he snarls, putting all of his weight onto the man’s chest. “they in there? tell me.”
