Stranger Things

christmasbarakat:
my dad is a cop and i just called him and he was like "hey i have a 17 year old boy in the back of my cop car right now that i'm running him to the station" and i asked if he was cute and my dad said "Hey, my daughter wants to know if you're cute" and the guy said "i want to say yes, sir" and my dad started laughing so hard

Of course I had to go and turn this post into a Fury Road fanfiction. Partly because I wanted to try my hand at a Nux and Slit pairing fanfic, and mostly because I am trash.

Max Rockatansky is a widowed cop, pushing 29, when he almost trips over this kid in a drug bust. Next thing he knows, Max is bleeding from a brand new hole in his knee, and holding the kid, telling him that it's gonna be okay.
Cue one hospital stay, and months of physical therapy later, Max has a brand new knee brace, and a kid. The one from the drug bust. Whose name happens to be Nux. Though, with a last name like Rockatansky, Max is not one to judge on strange names.
Things kind of go back to normal after that. Max legally adopts Nux, and enrolls the boy in the forth grade at the local school. And, he's a parent. Again.
Nux is a bit of a strange kid. Tall and thin as a post, with thick scars on his lips giving him a permanent skeleton grin, and short black hair; he is quick on his feet, and a has a bit of snark to him.
Max loves him with all his heart.

Then, a few months after Nux has turned 18, Max picks up this young man that is stumbling around outside a corner store, thick staples in the sides of his mouth, and blood on his chest.
Just as Max finally gets the boy in the car, Nux calls.
And, after that, Max's carefully constructed world goes to hell.
