    Summary

    A series following Steve Harrington as he unknowingly, unwillingly, loops time to save the ones he loves (and maybe realises that he can ask for help, is deserving of love, before, after, and during).

    The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. [COMPLETE, CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE]
    When anything and everything goes wrong in 1986, Steve realises that he can fix things, and maybe falls in love, along the way.

    Steve Harrington's Deaths (And The Times He Maybe Saved The World). [COMPLETE]
    After the events of '86, after everything has settled down, and everything is calm, people start to remember. The pieces start to slot together, and nobody likes the picture it creates.

    There’s Something In The Woods, And We’re No Longer Children. [COMPLETE]
    Steve Harrington is equal parts elusive and unobtainable, and all Eddie Munson wants to know is what's making those sounds in the woods.

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Harry wasn’t supposed to disappear. But he did.
    And he didn’t go alone.

    Now three runaways are rebuilding something old and powerful, tucked behind ancient wards and crumbling stone of a much too sentient manor.
    There is hope in the walls, truths in the shadows, and a war still waiting for them just beyond the gates. But here, in this half-ruined corner of the world, they are choosing something different. Peace, power, and each other.

    This is a story about found family, quiet healing, unexpected love, and what it means to stop surviving and start living. Even if the cost is everything they left behind.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Absolutely devastatingly beautiful. Will definitely read again at some point. As I read this it was if my soul had been laid bare. I believe there are a lot of lessons to be learned from this story.

    “Even if we love someone we should never change who we are in hopes of earning their love back.”

    Summary

    “Bingo!” Scar cheers triumphantly, standing up from his seat and lifting his card up to the sky, showing it off to the whole room with pride. “Haha! Take that, ladies! Oh yeah, third time in a row!” he laughs, making everyone in the room groan as they proceed to clean their tables.

    Grian sits in the corner of the room, arms crossed and eyebrows furrowed. Looking at Scar, still flaunting his victory with a scowl on his face. His own collection of six Bingo cards on the table discarded pathetically, not even anything remotely close to a line in any of them.

    Grian leans to the right conspirationally, whispering to the old lady beside him.

    “I don’t know how he does it, but I know that he’s a dirty, dirty little cheater.”

    OR

    Scar cheats in Bingo so Grian decides to also cheat in Bingo in retaliation

    I have no reason for bookmarking this except for the fact that I woke up my RA from laughing so loud and got in trouble
