Summary
In May 1984, Billy is induced to take Max to see "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". He doesn't expect to like it, and he doesn't, but he forms a weird, sentimental attachment to one character anyway: singing, screaming nightclub singer Willie Scott. He'd take the time to unpack this, but his life is pretty quickly uprooted, and their nightmare of a blended family gets transplanted to dusty Hawkins, Indiana (no relation): the Malaise Capital of the Midwest.
The move to Hawkins forces Billy to face some things he'd sooner ignore. Why he's so rankled by swaggering Big Man on Campus "King" Steve Harrington, why his erstwhile sister's new friends put him on edge so much, and why his two-person fanclub...certified gossipy snipe Carol Perkins and freckled pint-sized hellion Tommy Hagan can't seem to get enough of him.
It's slower here, emptier, and with no shortage of time to think about the things that made him what he was and the things keeping him from becoming whoever it is he's supposed to be...whatever those are.
In the words of the Indy Girl herself: "Anything Goes".

Summary
Mentions of past child abuse. Occasional: manhandling, mild slurs. ***WARNING: CH 25 "Goober" Contains Graphic Scenes of Abuse***
Susan and Neil are dead. Billy is 20 at the start and Max is 15. Story covers their lives (eventual Harringrove but more about relationship than sex) over a period of several years, if you read all of it...but if you don't, I understand. :p
The original story is contained in Chapters 2 - 10. Those have more of the original cast, and involve monster hunting, etc.. (Chapter 2 was posted first as a stand alone, which is why it's so long.)
After that there are requests, prompts, etc and just things I wrote because I got an idea.
IF you want to read this giant meandering thing in chronological order, refer to chapter 1 -- and then save Drabbles and Summer nights for after, if you are still wanting more.
Thanks!
