Summary
Sometimes you meet the girl of your dreams at 13- that's the fairy tale. The thing about fairy tales, though, is that by the time kids read them, they're sanitized, made over.
Sometimes you meet the girl you want to spend the rest of your life with at 13, sure- but sometimes you lose sight of her, try to win her back, then watch helpless while a monster worse than any hell you ever imagined crushes her body in front of you. You can't pick and choose which parts of the fairy tale you get; it doesn't work that way.
You want the girl? You take the pain, too.

Summary
“I don’t care if you talk to other girls,” Max says. “Really, I don’t. It’s just – I don’t know. You’re popular now, you’re one of the cool kids. And I’m not.”
Max doesn’t think of herself as the jealous type, until she sees a cheerleader flirting with Lucas.

Summary
“There’s no room left for me to sign,” he says, trying not to pout.
“Don’t pout,” Max says, tangling her free hand with his. Her face is flushed with laughter, hair half-tied in a messy braid (Robin’s work, ostensibly), and half-spilling around her shoulders, a sun-strand halo. “You can just—I don’t know, you can write over whatever Eddie’s doing.”
“Hey.” Eddie draws a hand over his heart, eyes wide with mock offense. “I put my blood, sweat, and tears into drawing this masterpiece for you, Red.”
“I don’t know if I’d go that far,” Robin says, idly adding spots to a ladybug. “It’s, well. It’s a piece, for sure.”

Summary
The hitch of her laugh can’t be contained, it reverbates up her chest and trips clumsily out of her mouth, and it feels too good watching Lucas lean toward her like he’s trying to soak up every last sound for her to put a stop to it. “You're not funny,” she tells him.
“Then why are you laughing?” He quips.
She scoffs, “I’m not laughing, I'm ridiculing you”
Or; They defeat Vecna, they return home and life moves on.

Summary
Lucas has always liked reading. As a child, he devoured books: anything from Fantastic Mr. Fox to Ray Charles to Where The Sidewalk Ends. It was a habit, but he likes habits. While he hasn’t read this consistently since the first time the world turned upside down, he picks it back up easily, like a fish to water.
Or, Lucas reads to Max. He hopes she’s listening.

“I think,” El says slowly. “Max is making up new rules. She cannot tell me where she is, but she is trying to show me.”
“She’s… leaving us… clues?” Lucas says, his voice unsure, but his eyes glimmering with what El recognises as hope.
“Yes,” El says. “I think.”Max is in a coma, but that's not going to stop her from leaving clues for her friends to help them get her back.

Summary
He’d read the expression somewhere; a heart skipping its beat. He never knew how to quite imagine it, until that moment, when he felt it. He didn’t know warmth would swarm his stomach and his entire body afterwards, he didn’t remember ever reading it. Then again, Max Mayfield was fire itself, so how was the rest of the world, all the writers and the poets, to know how warm it felt to earn her smile?
(Five times Lucas almost said 'I love you' and the one time he did.)
