It's Linda here, 

You may not know my story, but I'm here to tell it in a way that might shock you. I've lived in Hawkins, Indiana, before, but in a hidden gem where many people didn't know I existed. My parents did not have the best relationship, which led to the decision to divorce. I had to say goodbye to my home of Hawkins and left with my mom to start a new life in Chicago, where I've been living for the past 18 months.


Until recently, when I received an anonymous phone call stating that my father was in critical condition. He needed his daughter by his side.... as far as I know, I was his only daughter, but then I  remembered all the letters my father wrote to me about having a new family in Hawkins, and I should meet my half-sister Robin who he tells stories to about me all the time. Without hesitation, I said the news about Dad to Mom, and she wasn't pleased; as much as he was my father, she never denied the feeling of hatred and betrayal that he caused her when they were together, and she never wanted to see him again. Still, I decided to go to say my goodbyes if need be.

❝I WANT TO DRIVE AWAY WITH YOU I WANT YOUR COMPLICATIONS TO I WANT YOUR DREARY MONDAYS WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND ME BABY BOY❞ Sabrina Hargrove had always been the calm after the storm - or at least, she tried to be. Born just three minutes before her twin brother Billy, she was the light to his thunder. Where Billy burned hot with anger, Sabrina burned quietly, her fire hidden behind soft smiles and steady eyes. The two had grown up inseparable once, but years in the Hargrove household had a way of breaking even the closest bonds. Their mother, Laura, had been the only warmth in a home built on sharp words and slammed doors. When she died, something in Billy shattered completely - and Sabrina had been left trying to pick up pieces that refused to fit anymore. Neil Hargrove remarried quickly, bringing Susan and her young daughter Max into their lives. Billy resented them. However Sabrina didn't. Max reminded Sabrina of herself - stubborn, funny, full of fight. And from the moment she met her, Sabrina decided she'd protect her. Mostly from Neil's temper. From Billy's rage. From everything that came with being a Hargrove. When Neil's job dragged them across the country to a small, forgettable town called Hawkins, Indiana, Sabrina told herself she'd make it work. She'd keep Max safe, keep Billy calm, keep herself together. But Hawkins had a way of pulling people into its secrets - the kind that changed everything. And then there was Steve Harrington

17 parts Complete Mature
Sequel to "You Really Screwed Up This Time, Carver!" - Everything was going great for the Munsons; Arwen was thriving as a big sister to Ronnie, just in time for the arrival of her second brother in February 1993. Eddie and his wife, Y/N were settled happily in their perfect family life. Eddie was making great progress in the auto shop with Corroded Coffin gaining more and more exposure and Y/N was working flat out at the Music Store whilst helping Corroded Coffin with their tours and exposure opportunities. The kids loved touring with their daddy. After the birth of their third baby, Y/N handed over management of Corroded Coffin to a new manager and stayed at the music store until it shut down. Steve gave her new employment as a senior manager at Family Video which was a blessing as Corroded Coffin got scouted by a label while touring in Chicago, propelling them to stardom. Eddie started touring the states for months at a time, adding dates overseas meant he was gone for up to a year without seeing his wife and kids properly. Phone calls got fewer and letters dried up due to constantly being on the move or busy writing, recording and performing - creating a strain on the Munson marriage. In March 1994, the Munson marriage collapsed. Filing for divorce and Eddie leaving the family home for his own apartment in Hawkins. It wasn't an easy decision for either of them to make, but the distance and fights were more than they or the kids could bare. It's the Summer of 1995 and Eddie is currently on a break from touring. Here we follow the Munsons through their tedious custody exchanges over the summer vacation. Despite having new lives without each other, they just can't stay away. - TW: Swearing, Fighting, Alcohol, Weed, Smoking, Smut, Complex Family Dynamics e.g. divorce and separation.
