“We'll Be Alright, Sweetheart.” by dadpunsandmisery

Summary:

When Steve and Robin came to Hawkins a few months ago, they'd been looking for a job. Something simple, quick, and that would grant them just enough money to survive another month on the road. Steve should've known that hoping for anything 'simple' at this point in their lives was naive.

Now he's in here; trapped in this prison cell by himself, staring at the stone ceiling and hoping at least Robin and the kids are safe somewhere.

That's when he sees him: a strange man being dragged in by the guards with a manic grin on his lips.

This post made me go on a deep dive and I finally found a picture of a naked penguin from an NBC article from 2011

karolzex@dadpunsandmisery· Apr 1

I finally have a snippet I can share on #wip Wednesday (and it also features Wayne!!! So happy Waynesday for those who celebrate 😌) Also… Still I Cling ch 7 coming soon?? Maybe?? 👀

"Spare me the scolding, okay?" Eddie grunts, huffing out a tired breath. "Robin already yelled at me enough today about how much of an inconsiderate prick I am."
Wayne stares at him in silence for a bit. He takes another puff of his cigarette and stares at a fixed point in the distance. "Son, I can't scold you without sounding like a hypocrite. I did the same thing when Benny got married to Darlene."
Eddie's eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "You and Benny-?"
Wayne scoffs. "Only in my dreams, kid. No, no. His heart's been Darlene's from the very first moment he set his eyes on her. I also never told him about — you know, me." He says, rapidly flailing his hands around the more nervous he gets; a habit Eddie absolutely picked up from him over the years.

karolzex@dadpunsandmisery· Mar 18

Oh I love that!!! 🥺 Robin just trying (and failing) so hard not to have a visible reaction and Eddie just starts panicking realizing she can understand him. They both just stare at each other like:

A human’s handprint and a wolf’s pawprint side-by-side in the snow

'Tis The Season (of the wolf), by dadpunsandmisery

Summary:

"There was an attack in the woods." Dustin says. "The victim's flesh has been torn apart. Probably by a mouth full of huge, sharp teeth."

"Dustin, are you talking about that fucking dead deer on the news?" Max replies, her annoyance clear in her tone.

"Listen, we have no idea what killed it!" Dustin shoots back. "This could be serious."

"It's not." Eddie affirms. "I saw a wolf last night. It came near the trailer and sniffed around our trash for a bit. The little guy must've found a better snack than some week-old Cheerios."

"There are no wolves in Indiana." Mike cuts in, matter-of-factly. "You probably saw a coyote."

"Wolf, coyote — whatever." Eddie scoffs. "My point still stands."
