Summary
“Please don’t take her,” Steve begs, even as it falls on deaf ears. They keep walking, unrelenting.
“Steve!” Robin’s voice cracks, fear breaking through it as she scuffles with her captors. He can’t stop them. There’s nothing he can do.
“I’ll find you!” Steve yells, hoping she knows he means it. Hoping that she knows he’ll do everything he can to get her home safe. “I promise I’ll come find you!”
The door slams shut.
Robin is gone.
Steve isn't the only one who gets tortured by the Russians.
Or: a slight role reversal AU.

Summary
Wordlessly, Dennis opens his arms to her. She falls forward, leaving her forehead to rest against his shoulder. They don’t hug. They never really do. But for them, this is enough: Trinity’s breathing evening out as the silence stretches out between them, Dennis looping one arm around her shoulders and patting her head gently. It’s a comfortable dance they do around their pasts, of memories they’d prefer to only allude to. Dennis thinks of it less of avoidance, but more of leaving things in the past in favour of making brighter futures, of living days that aren’t entwined with the existences of their ghosts. Maybe one of his brothers would call him unrealistic. Maybe they’d say that all roads eventually lead back to Broken Bow. Dennis has dreams of being a dreamer, though.
Dennis comes back from a night shift to find Trinity crying in her room. He's still not entirely sure on how to approach the whole comforting people when they're crying thing, but he'd like to think that he's doing the best he can.

Summary
“He was such a prick,” Max whispers. “And I hate that I feel bad, and I hate that I don’t feel bad.”
Eddie sits back down across from Max and tries to wrack his brain for an intelligent thing to say.
He settles on, “You’re allowed to feel however you feel.”
Max snorts. “But isn’t it fucked up either way?”
“Welcome to Hawkins, Red,” Eddie says dryly. “We’re all fucked up here.”
OR
On a Sunday morning, Eddie and Max talk about survivor's guilt, cycles of abuse, and good ways to feel big.
