"I still remember what I told you four years ago..."
Erin's breath catches.
"That I'd wait longer than Penelope waited for Odysseus," he says, more quietly now.
And then, almost to himself, with a soft smile that lights up his eyes: "Still would."
Erin looks up, bright blue eyes locking with his warm green ones, and just for a heartbeat-
She swears she hears the echo of that other promise too:
Thou art to me a delicious torment more divine than ambrosia.
The promise was only four years ago, but the shift between them started long before that. Ten years, to be exact.
And no matter how much time has passed, Erin remembers every moment just as clearly as Dustin does.
Especially the night everything started changing.
Some things change. Some promises don't.

Don't dream it's over - Byler
Will Byers hasn't seen all of his friends in the same room since 1995, and he hasn't spoken to Mike Wheeler since 1996-the year he told him how he felt and watched their friendship fall apart. But when Max and Lucas buy their first house, they throw a Y2K New Year's Eve party, dragging everyone back together for the first time in years. Mike and Will are older now, different now, but when they see each other again-all sharp edges, awkward tension, and a lifetime of unresolved feelings-it's like nothing ever changed. Except everything has. One too many glasses of champagne, one impulsive kiss at midnight, and suddenly, the distance between them feels impossible to ignore. But Will still lives in New York, Mike is still in Chicago, and Will is fresh out of a three-year relationship he never fully gave himself to. They tell themselves they'll take it slow, see where it goes, but Will has loved Mike Wheeler since he was twelve, and Mike has never been the best at waiting. ❤️ART BY 4rt_sgr on instagram ❤️Complete

It's been eight months since Billy Hargrove died, and while the world keeps spinning, Ana's still stuck in place-caught between grief, guilt, and the nagging sense that she should've done something more. In a haze of half-hearted routines and lingering what-ifs, she doesn't expect 𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐍 to come crashing back into her orbit. They were friends once-before everything got messy, before she stopped noticing him. But now, he's back, all loud laughter, inked skin, and that look in his eye like he remembers everything. What starts as a comfort quickly turns complicated. The line between friends and something more begins to blur, and Ana finds herself pulled between the past she can't let go of and the person she's becoming. Grief is messy. So is love.

Demise of Mayfield
Max Mayfield was deemed to never wake up. That's what everyone thought, trapped in the despair of the thought that their friend would never share memories with them again. However, Max isn't quite gone yet, not declared dead. There's still hope. She's just there, lingering in the darkness of her subconscious with fear. But one day, Max's eyes opened - the sign of a miracle and despair. - » cover by @tuzaria - go support her work ! » mature language might be used throughout chapters. » appearance of oc's might occur if they fit in the storyline. their primary purpose is solely for will and robin. this story takes place after season four. » please vote and comment ! - started: july 12, 2022 ended: september 28, 2022Complete

"Hey but at least I'm your doofus, doofus." .... Y/N is Dustin Hendersons cousin, as well as the most treasured party member among the group consisting of Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas. When Will goes missing, you vow yourself that you will find him, no matter the cost. Little do you know that the cost may be putting aside your petty dislike towards Steve 'The King' Harrington in order to find him. Maybe developing a small crush towards him throughout your adventures and shared trauma while you're at it. ..... slow burn. SLOW. BURN. the slowest of burns you've EVER seen. ... maybe not. but still very slow burn, you won't fall in love at first sight that's for sure. just expect one helluva ride ;) s1 ✅ s2 ✅ s3 ✅ s4 in progress... #2 in steveharringtonxreader #2 in dustinhenderson #1 in hawkinsindiana started : 6.15.22 finished : _._._
