Summary
“When's Grandma coming then? So I can like, shower first.”
“Thursday, man,” Danny said, handing over the joint, “Thanksgiving, you know? Tends to be on Thursdays.”Thanksgiving with his family goes as well as you'd expect, so Simon goes and gets fucked up. He loses track of things a bit, and it's not without consequences...
Now with part 2! Including: Patty, complicated discussions, Simon being Soft™ and conflicted about it, and a healthy dose of porn :)
This is part of a series because in my head it comes after the previous one, but it can definitely be read on its own.

Summary
It went like this. At first there'd been the pictures, weirdly hot shots of a hand down basic cotton underwear, a soft belly and cream white thighs. Simon hadn't known her then but the lyrics that came with the pics had convinced him she was a genius, a weird wild girl with a thing for polaroids. He'd liked that too, the polaroids. It meant his were the only copies of the pictures she sent, that no other asshole had access to her in quite the same way, and he'd enjoyed that.
From the polaroids to an actual life together, Simon attempts to learn how to say the things he feels. He doesn't like the process much, but he actually likes Patty a lot, so that helps.

Summary
She'd left only three weeks ago, to see her parents and take part in a coming of age festival she liked, something that seemed to involve an excessive amount of flowers but could not possibly justify her turning up in his bed wearing her Menagerie silks.
Except Inej did, and this is how it went.

Summary
“Come oooooon, Jonny, please?” Argyle pleads on their third morning sleeping in the van. “I'm telling you my dude, no one will care! They're gone alright? They packed all of their pretty little things and they drove the fuck away from here, and they're not coming back! We can just pick one, any one, even the Chief agrees.”
Jon turns on his back and speaks at the ceiling. “Hopper's not even chief anymore dude, and we can't just up and walk into someone's house and settle there.”
“Why not my dude? They'll never even know.”
“Cause it's illegal! Immoral? It would be weird? I don't know man, we just can't!”
“Immoral? Illegal? Jonny my man, you call yourself a punk? What would Bowie do, man? What would Bowie do!?”
This is an Argyle-centric fic, set in Hawkins post-rift.
This is a tale of survival.
The army quarantines the town, but of course they've got to stay, got to try and save the world.
Argyle is there for most of it, helps where he can, mostly by providing comfort (food) and relief (Purple Palm Tree Delight) to the good people of Hawkins, army included.
Jonathan's there too, of course, and it takes them a while, but they get there. -

Summary
“Touch me,” she said, and Kaz said,
“I'll try.”
He took her hand and he set her free.“Kiss me?” she asked when she came back, and Kaz said,
“How?”
“Like this, Kaz, with your eyes closed and your hands in mine, your lips against my lips, light like a feather.”
“Like an acrobat?”In which Kaz and Inej learn to trust, and touch.
Title from Pink FLoyd's Learning to Fly

Summary
“You know, when you start to think about it, it really is quite concerning that Kaz makes all our coffee,” Nina muses, but accepts a plateful of brownies just the same. “I mean, there’s nothing to say he doesn’t keep a bottle of arsenic beside the honey on the top shelf.”
The inevitable coffeeshop AU, featuring hijinks, angst, and one deeply cynical barista.

Summary
“I think I’ll have a sable trim on my coat,” Kaz said.
“Is it worth it to upset the Ravkans, do you think?”
“What was it you said to me once?” Kaz asked. “It’s perfectly acceptable for one country to exercise its sovereign right to get rich by undermining the sovereign laws and rules of other countries?” He leaned back and crossed his legs, bad over good, and brought his cigarette to his mouth. “And it’s not even the country getting rich. It’s me.”
After the success of his first international escapade, Kaz Brekker takes up a few easier ones in the interest of supplementary earnings. The food trade is stable, reliably profitable, and gives him far less trouble than some of his business in the city. Until someone threatens the wrong ship.
