Baskin Robbins is a Certified Jesus Place

Summary:

lucas: just saying dude do you wanna say “giddyup starbaby” or “run like the devil fluffypaws”

OR

The obligatory Stranger Things chatfic filled with a road trip to Utah, Suzie's birthday, Angst + Romance, and a healthy amount of Gay people™ mixed in.

(i did not plan anything, the plot is nowhere to be found, and i love robin buckley a Healthy amount)

Notes:

I was streaming LOONA's new comeback on a plane when I suddenly had the urge to rewatch Stranger Things S4. Then I was so so so fucking bored I started writing a chatfic and continued it until the plane landed. I'm pretty sure I spent more of my time on my vacation writing this thing and watching Umbrella Academy's latest season I forgot to even explore the city SO TRUE!!! I've written a good amount of chapters already so there'll probably be a spike in my posting before I suddenly disappear from the face of the earth again.

Here's some backstory before we start: ted wheeler gets to be 5x the asshole then he usually is, robin loves taylor swift, s1 is described as will getting lost in the woods and el running away from foster care, s2 is will getting sick as hell el gets adopted by hopper and max comes into play, s3 is scoops troops getting kidnapped by some organization under the mall and billy is.. well he's alive 💀, s4 never happened but eddie is here too!!!! el is a sweet summer baby and :D's her way through life, barb is still dead (the wheelers cant have nice things is my go to motto), the party is all fifteen and the rest can have their canonical ages, ronance, byler, and elmax are all dancing around each other and everyone is sick and tired of seeing them pine for the other, eddie uses the 🥺 emoji way too much because he’s just like that, suzie and dustin are probably the only ones who aren't complete losers in a relationship, steve and robin are the emotional support besties who have watched miss americana way too many times. also there's a dog.

My update schedule is like, two chapters a week, probably. Or at least I’ll try to do that. Don't blame me if I leave this fic unfinished 😭

(Also Stranger Things vol.2 is heavily going to decide this fic's fate because if Robin fucking dies you wil see me on the news. MARK MY WORDS DUFFER BROTHERS.)

Chapter 1: so young, but we're on the road to ruin

Summary:

In which The Party tries to teach El what the happy screams meant, Nancy is tired of everyone, and Steve + Robin have a sleepover.
