(Oh, and I’ve got an ao3 now, so…)

I personally really miss the magical trio of Murray, Joyce and Hopper. I would love a story about a typical bar outing between them. Like Murray as a drunk singing ABBA at karaoke! The diamond trio to the rescue!

Yes, I agree! I’ve got some asks about this trio waiting in my inbox but I don’t really know how to write Murray tbh. He’s got a certain kind of humour I’ve not yet tried to embody in any piece of writing. If there are any Murray experts out there, feel free to enlighten me.

✨✨✨

Joyce Byers 🎵

Well as you know perfectly well, I/we have several playlists featuring Joyce-themed songs, but I'll go with a few from our general Stranger Things mega-playlist.

I was born tough, torn up And hardened by time I've been let down, all around Discouraged by life And it gets hard not to cry So I have a thousand times

She ain't got no money Her clothes are kinda funny Her hair is kinda wild and free Oh, but Love grows where my Rosemary goes And nobody knows like me

Although you see the world Different than me Sometimes I can touch upon The wonders that you see And all the new colors And pictures you've designed Oh, yes, sweet darling So glad you are a child of mine

can you maybe write about hopper comforting joyce after an argument with lonnie or another partner when they were younger?

Sure ✨ here we go

This is a prelude to this ficlet here: pregnant joyce 1

_______________________________

She sits on a bench in front of his house, or rather in front of his parents‘ house. He had come back from the army and been trying to find a decent job, thinking about moving to the city one day, making little effort to find our buy a home. The air was fresh and cold, early spring.

That’s when she sees him walking down the road, his tall figure just a shadow in the dark night. She doesn’t say a word as he comes closer, only whispers „Hi, Jim.“ the moment he’s about to enter his parents‘ property.

„Joyce!“, he says and looks surprised. „You? here?“

„yeah, I…“, she stutters, trying to find her words, but it’s not as easy as this. She didn’t even understand it herself, couldn’t really explain why she had left her flat and walked half the town just to sit in front of Jim Hopper‘s childhood home for over an hour.

„Do you wanna come in?“, he just asks. „Want a beer?“

She doesn’t answer the questions but follows him slowly as they cross his parents‘ frontyard and enter the house. They sneak through the hallway and into the empty and dark kitchen. He doesn’t switch on the lights. They sit down at the old, wooden kitchen table together.

„Where’s Lonnie?“, he asks, assuming she should be with her boyfriend instead of him. Ever since that one, complicated night six weeks ago he had always just seen her with him, at the grocery store, the pub, the gas station. Always Lonnie Byers, except for that one single night.

„Bar.“, she says with a sigh.

„And you?“, he keeps asking. He hasn’t been much of a talker lately, not since he’d been at war. But he still wants to find out.

„I’m here. Wasn’t feeling too well, so I left.“

„What is it?“

„Nausea.“

„Did Byers try to get you drunk?“

„Nah. I… didn’t drink. But he did. You know him.“

Hopper just shrugs his shoulders and looks at her. The room is dark but she looks pale.

„So just nausea.“, she repeats, and there was a tone in her voice that tried to tell more, that wanted to talk, even if she wasn’t really sure about what.

„Hm.“

„Probably some bad chicken or something.“, she mumbles, more to herself than to Hopper.

Chicken. Who was she trying to fool?

One topic I'd like to read more are two: Hop jealous but tries hard to deny it, but badly. And a confrontation between Hop and Lonnie. Because it is right that he is punished by our sheriff!

Okay, I’m back. Please leave some love! I need motivation, input, random chats, whatever.. I mean, just in case anyone is still following my page and writing. I haven’t written in so long! Also sorry - I’m out of writing practice! Currently rewatching stranger things!

This is the second part to this pregnancy ficlet here!

The light at Melvald‘s general store is bright, too bright, stinging. Joyce hasn‘t felt like herself for the past few weeks, the feeling of joy and curiosity, the little secret inside of her - it has all turned into some kind of nervous anxiety about what the future holds. She stands in front of a shelf packed with baby supplies, a million kinds of pacifiers staring at her as her thoughts wander off. Will she be able to do this?

„Come here, babe!“, a voice yells through the store and that’s it - she‘s back to reality, back from her inside to the outside world, a world full of bright neon lights, grocieries and the rough voice of a man.

„What is it?“ she asks as she crosses the aisles to meet the man, dressed in jeans and a black leather jacket, his hair greasy and his shoes dirty.

„Can you carry this?“, he asks as he looks down on her. He‘s not tall for a man, but she‘s small and has not been eating well or been able to keep in any decent food those past four and a half months. In fact, she‘s skinnier than ever - except for her belly that keeps growing, a vicious circle. In the beginning, when it had just been between herself and the little creature inside of her, it had felt powerful, but now she often found herself thinking that it was taking something away from her, energy, sleep, weight, her whole fucking self.

„Uhm, yeah.“, she says and is not even sure if she‘s able to as the man is handing her a sixpack of beer.

„I don‘t think she should, Byers.“, says another, much darker voice from the other end of the aisle. The store is not even empty, there are a few customers walking around and still she immediately sees him, turns her head around before Lonnie Byers can push the sixpack into her arms. He knows.

Well, she thinks, of course he knows. For a second her thoughts trail off to that one moment last month when she bumped into him in front of the store they were just standing in. Joyce feels a strange kind of nausea creeping up on her and she cannot really tell the reason - her sudden disgust for Lonnie Byers, the presence of Jim Hopper or the baby inside of her.

„Don‘t think that‘s any of your business, Hopper.“, Lonnie snaps, his voice low as Jim Hopper walks over to them. Jim is much taller than Lonnie, wearing jeans and a white shirt and Joyce can even see his muscles underneath. Suddenly, she feels safe because she knows that Lonnie‘s aggression is bubbling up but here, in public, in front of Jim Hopper he‘d never dare to fight because he knows all too well that he‘s got no chance, no chance against a man so much taller, a man with true self confidence. Lonnie was a different kind of man, out of control on the inside and put together in public, at least enough to keep some kind of normal appearences.

„Carry it yourself or put it away, Byers.“, Hopper says and he has not yet taken a single look at Joyce. It makes her even more nervous as she starts to feel like a bystander, a bystander in her own life. Joyce can‘t know it‘s not because he does not want to, does not know that he‘d love to look at her in all ways possible, but that he just can‘t because he would not bear to really see her again, so small and beautiful, carrying the traces of another life under her shirt. Summer was slowly beginning and by now, it was too warm for sweaters, pullovers or jackets, so Joyce was wearing a plain blue shirt and damn, she really could not hide it anymore. She could not hide it and he could not stand that.

Moments pass as the three of them just stand there, Jim staring at Lonnie, Lonnie staring at Jim and Joyce staring at the two of them. Then suddenly, Lonnie breaks the silence. „Alright, Sheriff.“, he whispers ironically, a scoff in his voice as he moves and walks past Jim. Joyce still stands there, it takes her a few seconds to react. „Bye, Jim. Gotta go.“, she whispers, raises her head and looks him in the eyes for less than a second.

„See you.“, he answers as she walks down the aisle, steps behind Lonnie. He can‘t stand it.
