mama said you can't hurry love

by andiwriteordie

Before Mike is out of an earshot, she calls, “Mike!”The young teenager turns back around. “Yeah?”“Thank you,” Joyce says, suddenly feeling choked up. “For being Will’s best friend.”Mike’s expression softens, and a familiar sort of fondness—something she’s seen more than once on Will’s face—forms on his face. “Like I said,” he says quietly, “it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” Or:Will and Mike over the years, as seen through the eyes of Joyce Byers.

The Favor

by ReginaNocis

“Hey, Harrington?” Robin called, smirking. Steve wanted to sigh, or maybe run away, but he straightened his back and gave her the flattest look he could manage. “Remember that favor you owe me?” “I don’t owe you a favor,” he replied immediately, although he had a sinking feeling that he did. It sounded familiar. “I recall you agreeing to the bet a while back that you didn’t think the kids considered you a part of their group,” she reminded him. The smirk hadn’t left her face. “And after the whole… moving in with the Byers thing, it’s definitely been proven that you’re a part of their group. I dare you to say that you’re not in front of them.”   (AKA 3 times Steve was coerced into being Robin's "boyfriend", + 1 time he did it without being prompted.)

it's (not) just food

by wolfish_willow

Everyone is together for a big not-quite-Thanksgiving meal a month after the Gate is closed. When the main dish is ruined, Joyce is worried there won't be enough food to go around. Steve is worried he's never going to live down that he's got a turkey ready to go in his trunk.He brings it in anyway.   ...his trunk has more containers than he could probably fit on the Byers' countertop. The main thing taking up space is a carefully wrapped roasting pan with the turkey he made and brought over before realizing that was ridiculous.

the thing about dads

by blanketcocoon

Off the bat, Hopper just assumed that Mike coming along was one big plot to get back together with El. That’s what he’d been bracing for, at least; having El post up in he and Joyce’s room on an air mattress, keeping the door open three inches when she was hanging out with the boys in their room. But that’s not what happens. Not what he thinks happens, at least.Or, Hopper has a feeling about Will and Mike.

Locker Notes

by sugared_strawberriez

Will Byers starts being left notes by a secret admirer. Is it a prank? Is it real? Strangely enough, he's also noticed how recently, one of Hawkins star players on the basketball team has been giving him looks. Or It's Sophomore year for the teens, Lucas is Wills best friend, Vecna is dead, Joyce and Hopper are married, the older kids are off doing their own things, and there is a junior who has a crush on Will. (I'm losing my mind and bychance is saving me, maybe.) (This series was created before season 5 and I am not defending CANON Chances actions.)(FANON CHANCE X WILL)*Writing starts out bad and gets better as the story continues as i got better at writing* NOT BETA READ !

They Built You A Temple And Locked You Away

by fangirlandtheories

Parentified children are not given the time, care, love, emotional support, grounding, or security needed to develop and thrive. Without a role model, they are deprived of the opportunity to learn through observation and guardianship. For the most part, they are expected to keep it together and never show signs of distress. If they were to be needy or vulnerable, they are either ignored or sometimes punished. Eventually, they internalize the message that having needs and desires is not acceptable. They become ashamed of their vulnerabilities, and eventually, emotional numbness and self-denial become their second nature***Or: 5 times Steve was the adult + 1 time everyone remembered that he's barely one.

leave the children behind

by greatunironic

She catches sight of Hop first, of course. He’s who she’s looking for after all; or, perhaps more accurately, she will think later, he’s the only one she thinks she’s supposed to be looking for in this moment. The way Robin Buckley had talked about what had happened beneath Starcourt that night — well, it had all just seemed so final, she’d thought, and truly she’s never been so happy to be wrong in her life. Meanwhile, in the Soviet Union, Joyce finds not one ghost but two.
