Rated E | 60k - 16 chapters | Romantic Steddie | Background Lumax | Platonic Stobin | the Henderfam and its Henderdads (Steve & Eddie & Dustin)

And... it's out! It's live after an entire year and eight months with this story living inside my head, I can finally say that the first chapter is already on Ao3. This story means so much to me as it was there in the best and worst times of my life simultaneously. So proud of how this baby is shaping up to be. Every chapter will feature a cassette tape with the song title & artist used for the 80's chapters, and same will be done for the 90s, but a CD this time around.

Mel really stayed true to herself through it all. That's so rare for a character with this kind of arc. She never let go of her compassion, even with being kidnapped and tortured. It didn't harden her into someone unrecognizable. I did joke about a villain arc because that's what a character like that usually gets when it's time to be calculated and kill the thing that needs killing.

But Mel didn't need that to be badass, embrace her powers, and cut off the head of the dragon even though it happened to be her mother - her mother who thought she was so weak just because she wasn't brutal.

She is the wolf but only out of necessity. She can make the hard calls. She can even deliver death, but she won't without trying everything else first.

That's a leader. She's a leader her mother could never fathom, and now she has her army.

Arcane man... good shit.
