a bunch of tags of this post are about how the girls would react if Billy and Steve got in a fight and LISTEN TO ME. the galaxy brain of it all. y’all are absolutely right. they would rip Steve a new one.
all the kids in Family Video trying to pick something for their weekly movie night. Steve chatting with them because that’s what they always do. it’s normal! it’s casual! but Max and El are all arms crossed, refusing to saying a word, glaring daggers at Steve. the boys don’t even notice but Steve absolutely does.
“what’s up with you?” he asks them, trying to keep things light when in reality he is terrified of them.
and Max tells him, “don’t play dumb.”
but he is not playing! she rolls her eyes when she realizes this, because how is Steve actually this clueless? she looks at El all can you believe this guy? no wonder Lucas and Mike are so hopeless if this is who they go to for advice. El agrees, of course, and she fixes Steve with her patented death stare. it’s unnerving.
“okay, seriously,” he says, “what’s going on?”
“you hurt Billy,” says El.
Steve is flabbergasted. “what? what did he tell you?”
“nothing,” says Max. “but we can tell he’s upset.”
and Dustin, the president and treasurer of the Steve Harrington Fan Club, pipes in, “did it ever occur to you that maybe Billy’s in the wrong?”, only to have the girls turn their wrath on him.
“no,” they say in unison. Mike and Lucas were about to speak up, to defend Steve, but this shuts them right up.
and Will adds, “if it was Billy’s fault, Steve would be upset.” he looks at Steve and says, “clearly you did something.”
and Steve just looks at them all, slack-jawed, because how did Billy, the scariest and most intimidating person he knows, manage to surround himself with a small army of somehow equally scary and intimidating people? it’s just not fair! but he sighs, relents, because Max and El and Will are all intuitive, and if they’re saying that Billy is upset then clearly his little spat with Billy last night affected Billy more than Steve realized.
“fine,” he says, hands up in defeat. “fine. fine! I’ll talk to him, okay? I’ll…I’ll make it up to him.”
“you do that,” says Max in a tone that clearly indicates that if Steve doesn’t patch things up then there will be hell to pay.

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 : Jim Hopper has three children instead of one; You, Vance and Sarah. After the tragic death of your younger sister, Jim Hopper had decided for a fresh start, in Hawkins.
𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 : with Finneys arrival, you and the gang have courage to try and escape, Will things turn out in your favour or not ?
𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 : this is it one more part until this is finished, I forgot what were the numbers on griffins lock, so if you remember please tell me and I’ll change it, I’m sorry about the cliffhanger I have written, hope you guys are okay after this.
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧����𝐧𝐠𝐬 : blood, gore, abuse, violence and much more !
You and the rest of the kids had shown Finney all of the ways you had escaped, or at least tried to catch the grabber, the window above the wall, which had no bars, luckily the grabber hadn’t seen it, Bruce had told Finney about the tile on the floor, they all took turns digging and flushing the dirt, Vance had told everyone about the whole he had made in the wall, that was recently patched back up.
“There’s a refrigerator on the other side, he was so pissed after that, took his time beating me, hurt like a bitch.” Vance had shrugged off nonchalantly like it didn’t bother him but you knew, by the slight shaking of his hand, he was scared of reliving that memory, you held his hand squeezing it in comfort.
They had tried to do that too, but to no use until one night, you were all tired, laying on the squeaky mattress, the grabber had walked in, none of you had noticed, until you felt Finney shake awake from beside you, causing you to squint awake, all the other boys still asleep, Billy and Will on Finneys right then it was you, Robin Vance then Bruce. It was muffled talking since you couldn’t hear the two that well, when the grabber had left, you felt Finney relax slightly.
“Hey, what’s wrong ?” You whispered, gently brushing his shoulder, “He didn’t lock the door.” Finney spoke firmly, your eyes widened, gripping onto his shoulder harshly, shaking your head.
“No, no, no, no, Finney, you are not going up there, do you know what he’ll do if he catches you !?” Finneys face was firm, eyes filled with rage at the sight of your scared figure.
“What. What Will he do ? He’s keeping us alive for a reason, so I’m going up there no matter what.” Finney had argued back, voice slightly wavering trying not to wake the others, “You wanna know so bad Finney, he beats you. He is up there, with a belt, wearing that fucking ma- that stupid fucking mask, he hits you with the belt ‘till your screaming at him to stop, begging for the pain to end, it goes on an infinite amount of times, he wants you to go up there, just so he can do the next part, the next part, it’s his favourite, ‘naughty boy’ and trust me, you don’t want to go through with that fucking game !!” Tears had prickled your eyes, from exhaustion, mental exhaustion, you were tired, bones aching and sore, wounds that couldn’t close up stained your clothes, you were dirty.
Finney had grown sympathetic not realising how bad you all had it down here before him, he had seen Griffin, twice, walking around you, following you, Griffin had also said the Grabber was more tired than usual and doing god knows what, he just didn’t have to courage to tell you, he had seen how broken and drained all of you were before him, he just didn’t want to add more pain.
“I-I’m sorry, s’just we’ve tried everything and nothings working.” Finney heaved out, despair laced in his tone, he held your non injured hand, rubbing circles with his thumb.
You shook your head, lips pursing, “Not everything.” You were hesitant to show Finney, but you had though why not ? And just showed him what Griffin showed you.
“Upstairs, there’s a door it leads out of the house, the Grabber took Griffins bike lock after he took him, he used it on the door, Griff told me he wrote down the code somewhere on that wall.” You had pointed to the wall on Finneys right, the boy had used his rocket with a flashlight, the two of you quickly slipping out of the mattress, trying not to wake the others, you had found the code.
2, 3, 3, 1, 7
“Okay, what’s the actual code ? Is it 02, 33, 17 or 23, 31, 07, or 23, 03, 17 !” Finney had whisper shouted at you, “I don’t fucking know, Griff didn’t tell me, we’ll try all of ‘em !” You had fought back, rubbing your hands over your face, were you really going to do this ? Finney had already walked towards the unlocked door, waiting for you to follow him, you glanced at your brothers sleeping figure, shuffling towards him.
“Hey, V, wake up.” You shook the boy awake, he groggily opened his eyes, his face held curiosity whilst looking at your guilt stricken face, “Finney and I we’re, Uhm, we found a way out, and before you say anything, you’re not coming, too many people will wake him up, if we get out I promise, I swear on everything, we’ll come back and get you.” Vance had seen the determination in your face and voice, so instead of fighting back, he nodded his head, you smiled and kissed his hairline. “Protect the others, okay ?”
You finally walked towards Finney and up the stairs, steady step by step, you held onto the belt loop of Finneys pants, just so you were right behind him, you both got to the top, Finneys back pressed against your chest, he hesitantly opened the door, there the kidnapper sat, ugly old man sweater opened, exposing his fat chest, oily hair on top of his shoulders, belt in hand, and angry mask on, you sucked in a breath, but you noticed he was sleeping, Finney had held your waist, whilst you hand was on his lower back following him, you tried your best not to make a noise.
Walking past the kitchen towards the front door, you guys opened the first door, then it was the locked one, you held the rocket flashlight, whilst Finney had tried the combination, whispering the numbers, looking back and checking if the grabber was still sleeping, you guys were doing really well, trying the third combination since the other two didn’t work, until you heard a dog, barking loudly, your heart pounded into your chest, as Finney clicked the last number and unlocked it, the Grabber was awake and turning towards you two, you both pushed the door open and ran.
“Go, Go, Now !!” Running the the front porch and along the pavement, you had pushed Finney in front of you, looking back to see the Black Van following both you and Finney, the said boy gripped onto your hand, bringing you next to him, you both ran faster than ever before, running past grass, turning corners, even jumping through bushes.
The van had gained speed, turning right in front of you two causing you both to crash into the van, but you quickly got up, screaming help, and so did Finney, you yelped when you felt a force nock you down, you felt a cold metallic feeling on your neck, causing Finney to stop screaming, you had seen a few porch lights turn on, opening your mouth to scream, “Say one more word and I’ll guy you like a fish right here right now, same goes with you Blake.” Finney had looked at you, you shook your head.
“Don’t listen to him Finney just run, run and don’t look back.” You had tears streaming down your face, giving him a watery smile, until you felt a sharp pain stinging your upper thigh, causing you to whimper out a sob, looking down you had noticed the knife was now in your flesh, your grey shorts seeping with crimson.
“Watch it Finney boy, come here.” Finney had obliged, tears falling at the sight of you clutching your thigh, the grabber had brought Finney to his side, covering his mouth and scorching further into the bushes, with you as well, waiting for the lights to turn off, when it did the older male had turned to face in front of you and Finney, the said boy clutching your bloodied hand, squeezing it to make sure you were okay, and the Grabbers fist had collided with both of your guys’ noses, causing you two to black out.
He had brought both you and Finney back to the basement, throwing both your unconscious figures on the concrete angrily, and kicking you for good measure, Vance had seen your sleeping figures and he wanted to scream, but when he saw your thigh all bloody, still having a knife sticking out of it, he couldn’t help but cry as well.
Vance hated how weak he had been lately, he would always hide in a corner and watch as you protected everyone, that wasn’t how it was supposed to be, he was supposed to protect you, how could he call himself strong if his own fucking twin had done more than him in these past couple months, Finney had awoken but you were still off in dreamland, Both Vance and Finney had panicked about the literal knife sticking out of you, by then all the other boys were already awake, also adding on to the panic, but by a miracle Will was the only one that was head steady, calmly asking for Robins bandana, taking the knife out, whispering multiple sorry’s to your knocked out figure, then quickly wrapping the bandana securely around your thigh, handing Vance the knife to hide somewhere, to which he had hid it in the hole they made which lead to the freezer filled with meat, tucking it securely underneath the meat.
After that all the boys were more determined to escape and to kill that motherfucker for hurting you, using the screws from the back of the freezer, screwing them each to the side of the hole They all had dug up, using the wire Billy had tucked under the gap of the wall, they wrapped the wire around both bolts making it into a tripwire, covering up the hole with the matt, Robin, You and Vance had taught Finney how to throw a deadly punch at the grabber, using the black phone as a weapon.
“You raise the phone, take a fast step back, step forward, step back, swing !” Robin had critiqued Finney on his swings and stance.
“You just go strait for their necks, and fuckin’ murder ‘em !!” Vance had kicked Bruce’s back, Finney had stared wide eyes at Vance’s wildness.
“You got this Finney, just trust yourself, they know you’re cool, but show them you’re a badass.” You gripped his hand, moving it slightly, untucking his thumb from his fist, you giggled at Finneys face, he looked like a fish out of water, nodding quickly and practicing his swings with Robin.
As they finished the trip wire an placing the Matt atop the hole again, jumping over it to get to you again, Billy again placed his jacket on top of you, your head on Vance’s lap, Finney holding your hand, Robin and Bruce rubbing your back, whilst Will had checked the wound again.
You all fell into a dreamless sleep cuddling close together, arms tangled together, breath fanning on skin, hair on someone’s face, until the lights of the basement had turned on, you all woke up, including yourself, scurrying to the corner of the mattress, Finney held the phone in his hands, Bruce, Vance, Robin and yourself had gotten into a stance, raising your fists, you had placed Will behind you, making Billy grip onto your shoulder, helping you steady yourself.
The stairs were creaking, the door had squeaked open, until you could see a skinnier figure behind the door, you all still kept your guard up.
“Okay guys we attack on three.” You had whispered, all the other boys nodded.
“Holy shit, you’re all the missing kids, I knew Al had some weird thing with this basement, hey you wanna know how I figured this out ?!” The male with the moustache had started rambling and all of youse had simultaneously begged him to get you out or to shut the hell up, until an axe went through his head, making you all scream and take a couple steps backwards, the now dead male had taken a few steps forward then falling to the ground, the person behind the dead male, with blood all over his mask was the Grabber, although you could only see the bottom part of his face, since he wasn’t wearing the mouth part of his mask, wiping the blood from his cheeks.
“Holy shit !”
“What the fuck !?”
“Oh my gosh !”
“Oh crap !”
“Oh my fucking god !”
“Jesus, what the fuck !?”
“¡Qué mierda de verdad!”
“Look what you made me do.”

BYLER FICS
ayo its been a while but we got a new hyperfixation + covid is kicking my ass so lets fucking do this also this was supposed to be general stranger things fics but i have byler brainrot lol youve been warned
let’s hear it for the boys by andiwriteordie
mama said you can’t hurry love - Will and Mike throughout the years, told through the eyes of Joyce Byers
the winner takes it all - Robin and Steve start a betting pool on when Will and Mike will finally get together, and it eventually spreads to the entire party
rule of threes - Four times the members of the Party realized they were Mike and Will's third wheel, and one time Mike and Will realized it for themselves.
a very murray mistletoe - The one in which Murray finally has a chat with Will and Mike.
don’t you forget about me - The members of the party go to college, and Mike struggles with change, being away from everything he's ever known, and the fear of losing the people he loves.
and i get the joy of rediscovering you - how Mike falls in love with Will over the years.
so i showed up at your party - Mike throws Will a birthday party while their friends are home on spring break. Naturally, drunken shenanigans occur.
The Red Envelope by midnighteverlark
When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything. He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?
The Unmarked Mixtape by midnighteverlark
The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes. That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part. Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face. It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.

Is his fear of telling others rooted in a closeted mindset, or does it come from something far deeper than that?
