come take a walk

on the wildside

let me kiss you hard

in the pouring rain

you like your boys insane

so choose your last words,

this is the last time

'cause you and i,

we were born to die

warnings :

trigger warnings : substance abuse, mentions of sexual assault/abuse, mentions and-or depictions of child-napping, homophobia, death, toxic relationships, violence and gore, and mentions of mental illness

this story also features lots of swearing, mature themes, dark humour and is much more mature than basket case for anyone who's coming here from that book - it won't have the same light-hearted feel and the party won't be central, so there's a bit of a different vibe to this one : D

author's note :

the playlist is on the spotify linked in my bio for anyone who wants it

i promised myself i would stop making stranger things fics and here i am on my second, halfway through writing my third ahaHaHaha - help

just so you know, this is a spin-off of basket case, which i reckon most of you are here from anyway, but you don't have to read it to understand this or anything

this book is actually so overdue i-

enjoy, darlings x
