    Summary

    “Max,” Eleven called out, her voice sounding funny before pushing the doors open and rushing into the gym to her friends’ sides.

    El’s shoes left water along the floor until she slid carefully besides the redhead in need of assistance purely powered by instinct. “Are you okay?!”

    She expected the stubborn girl to tell her she was fine and the impact was no big deal, if not just lay there for a second dramatically before getting to her feet. But the reaction she got damn near made her heart sink and her bewilderment grow.

    Because as soon as Max’s eyes met with Eleven’s, she could see the confusion that colored her features with a dash of worry. And to make matters worse? The first thing Max said to her in between picking herself up was, “Who are you?”

    Basically my self indulgent Fix-it of Stranger Things starring time travel, an omnipotent Eleven, a conflicted Will Byers and Steve is still the same. Lovable.

    Summary

    "You like girls too?" Jane assumes, launching into a sitting position.

    "Um, yeah, but…" Max inhales deeply. This is it. "I like you, Jane. I love you. Romantically. That's what I came here to tell you. I just wanted you to know, even if you don't feel the same w-"

    "Max," Jane interrupts, "I do feel the same way. I realized that instead of wanting to date random boys, or Mike, I want to date you. Will told me not to tell you that, either, but I do not think it applies here."

    "No, it definitely doesn't."

    Summary

    El used to like searching, back in the Rainbow Room with Papa. She liked the quiet and the dark and the way it was just her.
    Now, she hates it. She hates the suffocating blackness, the neverending void and the echo of her voice as she screams herself hoarse for her friends.

    or 5 times el felt alone and 1 time she didn't

    Summary
