    Summary

    Dreams have not been kind to her after Byroden, even less so after the tomb. Nightmares are commonplace. She should be used to this. She isn't. It’s terrifying now in the same way it was terrifying last week.

    Then there comes the sound of knocking, followed by a voice. Percy’s light accent on the other side of the door is the most familiar, comforting, and frightening sound she’s ever heard. “Vex? Dear, are you alright?”

    She inhales sharply and tries to make her voice sound more like itself. “Yes, darling, I’m fine.”

    Percy has always been good at seeing through her, so it’s no surprise that he sees through the facade immediately. “Can I come in?”

    Vex wants to deny him, but she’s never been good at that. Even with the door between them, she can just imagine his pleading blue eyes, and maybe she wants to drown herself in them. So her shaky voice whispers allowance and the door swings open, and there in the doorframe is the cause of her recent nightmares and subject of her kinder dreams.

    (Percy comforts Vex after a nightmare after the whole Raven Queen tomb incident)

    Summary

    Percy’s late for dinner again. This isn’t uncommon - honestly, before they’d gotten together, Vex is pretty sure the only reason Percy ate regularly was that he would be dragged (down from his room, or up from his workshop as the case may be) to eat with them: left to his own devices his timekeeping goes out the window.

    So- she knows to expect this. She’d known to expect this from before they’d gotten together - this is standard Percy behaviour, losing track of time. But… it’s one thing to know and another thing to experience. It’s one thing to know his terrible timekeeping but also to have the evidence of how readily he makes time for her and projects for her and for her worries. It’s one thing to be aware it might happen, it’s another for it to happen three days in a row and god but she wishes she could rely on him to be there.

    There are days, especially recently, when she’d really like for him to be there.

    Summary

    “Maybe it’s best if we’re not… if we…” Percy’s eyes are rimmed with red, the forge’s fire doing no favors in hiding the fact his face is tortured. He won’t look at her. Not when he’s effectively ending it. He’s too much of a coward.

    A hushed, choked question she already knows the answer to bubbles from Vex, “If we what, Percy?”

    Stop. Us.”

    or

    2 fools are miserable for 5 days.

    Summary

    “What? It’s an emergency, she’s stranded. Plus you guys broke up forever ago. You’ve gotta be over it by now.”

    Jonathan places a preemptive hand on his forehead, soothing away the headache he knows is coming. “Of course I’m over it, but that’s not the point.”

    “Jonathan.” Will’s voice is serious. “She is stuck. In the city you live in. You want her sleeping on the floor of a bus station?”

    “Tomorrow,” Jonathan says, hesitantly. “If I don’t believe you right away. We should have a code word, or something.”

    “It won’t . . . ” Nancy sighs, and shrugs a little. “That won’t work. You won’t remember this at all.” She gives him a rueful smile. “I’m the only one who will.”

    Summary

    It started with something Karen said to her in the kitchen.

    Well, not really. It actually started a few weeks beforehand, when Joyce first confided in Hopper that she thought Jonathan was acting strangely. They were in the tunnels, testing the network out against the map of Hawkins they’d spent the past month and a half drafting. Hop came to a full stop. When he turned to meet her gaze, he looked almost amused. “Well yeah,” he said, fond in the way that meant he was humoring her, “All that pot he’s been smoking will do that to a kid. I gotta say Joyce, I'm a little surprised you let him—"

    But Joyce didn't hear the rest of the sentence. Pot? The word seemed to land with a clunk on the floor of the tunnel, where it sat heavily between them, impossible to ignore.

    Now that the Byers are back in Hawkins, Joyce has started slowly putting the pieces together about her firstborn. On the eve of the end of the world, she wants to talk to her son about college.

    Or, Jonathan and Joyce have a long overdue conversation.

    Hey. Can we talk?

    Scott’s text message came in the middle of the night. Kip discovered it in the morning, when he was still blinking sleep out of his eyes, feeling instantly awake as he stared at the words.

    Hey. Of course. Where and when? He typed frantically.

    Scott didn’t read the message. He wasn’t online for quite a while.

    And then Kip got the call.

    ~

    Scott hits his head. Kip was waiting for a text message. They're not okay.

    Jonathan waited until they were safe to propose, and Nancy said yes without hesitation. But life kept getting in the way—school, apartments, stability—and their simple “yes” stretched into years of postponing, much to the frustration of their families, especially her mother.

    Summary

    Out of the two of them, she’s not sure who wins when it comes to lack of sleep.

    It’s better when they’re together, by far, but some nights they’re thankful to get a few hours. Some nights they’ll curl into each other and stare blankly at the ceiling until their bodies pass out from sheer exhaustion.

    Some nights they’re not even that lucky.

    And that’s how Nancy finds herself in Jonathan’s t-shirt, riding shotgun in his Ford at two in the morning.

    Summary

    "Your mom," he starts, rubbing a hand over his beard. "I, uh— If I asked her to marry me, would you be okay with that?"

    For the second time in only five minutes, Jonathan's expectations of how his day would go are thrown completely out the window. On his long list of questions he thought he might ask him, this one was certainly not on there. His blessing, Hopper is asking for his blessing. And he has absolutely no idea how to respond.

    or

    Hopper asks Jonathan for his blessing and a favor (based on the theory that the ring Jonathan got from Murray is actually for Jopper)
