    Summary

    It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.

    Steve fails. They lose.

    “Steve, how many loops have you been through?”

    His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.

    “I lost count.”

    AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

    Summary

    "...You're not gonna make fun of me for this, are you?"

    Natasha shook her head. "Never. Not this."

    Steve nodded again, continuing with renewed confidence. "It's like pieces of your soul. You leave them places. With people. There's a part of me that's still in Brooklyn, always. There's a part of me I left at my mother's grave. There's a part of me that never left Peggy's side. There's a part of me that got on that train and never got off."

    Summary

    Lance, after the Rover explosion, lost two things.

    First was almost the entirety of the skin of his back. Ripped to shreds, it was. His head, by some miracle, had remained largely unscathed — except for the concussion that went untreated for too long, that affected his brain in more ways than he was willing to admit, that made memory recall a lot harder than it used to be — and his jeans had done a pretty good job of protecting the backs of his legs.

    But his thin t-shirt did nothing to protect his back. And there was only so much the pod could do.
    Along with the skin of his back, the explosion had stolen his hearing.

    Not completely. He wasn’t completely deaf. But he was no Altean superhuman, and the delicate hairs in his ears that allowed his brain to pick up sound waves have shattered so close to the explosion. Broken. He’d taken some sort of magnifying device himself to assess the damage, the night he fell out of the healing pod, panicked because his fucking ears weren’t working and dreading what he would find: hundreds of little hairs, much smaller than they were supposed to be. Too small to hear words, to hear people speak.
    ---
    OR: The Rover explosion impacted Lance more than he lets on.

    Summary

    “…are you tired?”

    “No.”

    “You should sleep, Lance.”

    “No,” he repeats again, the fogginess in his mind loosening his tongue, his distress plain to hear and see as he grasps for Keith’s shoulder, the other staring down at him with a baffled expression. “If I sleep, you won’t be there when I wake up.”

    Or alternatively, half a year is a long time to be missing someone. Lance isn’t surprised at all to see Keith there within the confines of his dream.

    It’s just a dream, after all.

    Or so he thinks.
