    Summary

    It goes like this: Pok Askandi dies young, swallowed down by a dragonborn, and works straight on through his afterlife. He goes on one mission to the mortal plane after his death, and no more.

    It goes like this: Sklonda Gukgak has a one-night stand with a man she can't find afterward, as if he's dropped off the face of the planet. Then her son comes out with celestial markings, and she realizes just why she couldn't find Pok. Now, all she has to do is raise an angel kid. No problem. She's got this, surely. Definitely.

    It goes like this: Riz Gukgak grows up aasimar, and decides he's better off without his magic. It's only ever messed things up. It's only ever made his life harder, and gods know his life was never going to be easy in the first place. He's better off swallowing it. If he never uses it, surely he can't drown in it. He can just not use it. He can be a rogue and push down all the magic and it won't have to matter that there's celestial power in him. No problem. It's a foolproof plan, right up until his freshman year. Then everything starts to go off the rails. But he's got this, surely. Definitely.

    Summary

    Four months after he comes out on the floor of the Family Video bathroom, Robin sits him down on his bed.

    “Okay, I’m gonna suggest something completely insane, but I’ve actually put a lot of thought and research into it and I need you to hear me out.”

    Steve squints suspiciously at her, but shrugs agreeably. “Yeah, okay.”

    “We should get married.”

    Summary

    But Steve is not her quiet Italian father, and Robin is not her patient yet free-spirited mother. Maybe someday Steve will be a good husband who still loves his wife even when their children are grown. But this isn’t a scene she was meant to take part in.

    “If you’re feeling awkward about last night,” and Robin’s a bit impressed with Steve’s awareness on this one. “Don’t. Seriously, like, most people I’ve known have fallen asleep on top of me. Shit, that came out wrong.”

    This is able to draw a laugh out of Robin, and after a drive to work with Steve, going slower than usual so she can apply eyeliner in the car, she’s almost forgotten the shadow that crossed her mind earlier.

    By the time they’ve realized they’d forgotten to return Cabaret and have racked up a late fee at their own place of work, it’s like it never happened.

    ~~~~~~~~~

    Robin and Steve realize there's more than one way to love a person.

    Summary

    Robin probably cries in front of Steve. Nancy can't really picture Robin in tears, but if she and Steve are so close then she must be hiding some vulnerability, something soft and fragile that Nancy just can't see. Steve loves her, understands her more than he ever did Nancy.

    Something is different, and she ignores the taunts of Nancy Dre-ew that rise unbidden from the back of her mind as she once again grips the steering wheel like it's personally offended her, driving a little too fast for Hawkins roads at night and ignoring the rumble of the car in favor of focusing on the facts in front of her.
