    Summary

    With Lonnie chronically absent, bills piling up, and her boys to feed, Joyce takes a desperate, last-minute waitressing job at a seedy bar on the outskirts of Indianapolis. When she calls Hopper to babysit for the night, she doesn’t expect it to stir up everything they’ve been pretending not to feel.

    Pre-canon. Part I of the Edge of Night series. Set in 1980... before the fallout between them, before all the fights, before the world turned upside down.

    Summary

    One evening, on a whim, he tugs up his shirt in front of the mirror and is pleasantly surprised that his gut isn’t hanging over the waistband of his jeans, not a bit. Belatedly, he realizes that he hasn’t smoked a cigarette in months, and hasn’t wanted to.

    He feels… stronger, more awake, like he could actually pass the physical exam for the force, if he had to.

    He finally got the girl he’s been in love with since he was a stupid teenage boy—and now he can’t even really be with her. Of course, the day they finally kissed was the exact same day Vecna decided to split the town open.

    Or, Joyce comes over a day in April ‘87 to spend some time with her boyfriend and daughter.

    Summary

    This is a sequel to my first fic: Feel Like There’s Oceans Between You and Me.

    After confessing their feelings for each other, Hopper prepares a special night at the cabin: flowers, dinner, wine, and more than one dessert. More confessions are shared, and a few fantasies come to light. Neither of them is about to miss the new chance that life is finally giving them.
