Summary:

A collection of short fic for the 2023 whumptober challenge.

It's that time of year again! And after falling briefly behind, I'm now caught up on the first week. So far, it is all Stranger Things, all the time. The brainrot is real, friends. I didn't plan it this way, but then, I don't plan this at all.

Much more focused on emotional whump this year, as compared to last. It's just, well, canon already beats the everloving shit out of Steve. Feels like that base is kind of covered. But I want to make that man so sad. Just the saddest poofy-haired puppy ever.
