Summary
She came into this knowing opening a restaurant was a total nightmare and how Carmy-like Carmy was. She had also thought they were doing this together. It was all I don’t even want to do this without you until he ignored all of her ideas and you’re not alone, Syd but she felt pretty fucking alone.

After the end of season three: Sydney and Carmy talk, for real.

Summary
If you asked her approximately thirty six hours ago, she would have said her and Steve Harrington were co-workers. Co-workers, in the light-hearted bickering yet stay-on-your-side-of-the-freezer-while-stocking sort of way, even if Robin had grown to not mind his presence so much as the summer progressed. At the very least, his attempt to pick up chicks while slinging ice cream was pretty entertaining. So, yeah, they were co-workers, which was a step above the apparently one-sided acquaintanceship they had before, given Steve introduced himself on their first day like they didn’t share a row in Mrs. Click’s class for a whole year.
Maybe, if you held her at gunpoint, she might even admit they were friends.

It's the night after the almost-end of Hawkins, Indiana - Robin doesn't think she will ever get used to this. (Weirdly, she does. Even weirder? She does it along side Steve Harrington.)

Summary
“I’m not telling you to upset you.” They’ve only been on the phone for six minutes and thirty seven seconds, and Maddie was already pacing the length of her apartment. “I am calling you because Evan is sick and he’s upset.”
This was well-treaded territory: anytime she even remotely suggested they could do more parenting, Maddie was apparently throwing the their greatest tragedy in their face. Instead of any effort on their part, she only ever received we tried or it’s always an accident or he needs to grow up. Which meant it was always up to Maddie, and Maddie had to figure out how to deal with her own problems and emotions on her own.
“No, I didn’t tell him,” she snapped, the accusation rolling over her in a wave of anger. Her parents certainly trusted her to handle herself and Evan in nearly all capacities growing up, but never with this situation, “but maybe we should.”

Following his pulmonary embolism, Maddie tells Buck about Daniel. It goes about as well as you would expect.

Summary
“Yeah, sorry about that, I was just tired, you know. But I’m good, yeah,” Maddie said, trying to shake herself out of that doomed one-way train of thought. Athena’s tone may have been casual, but they were edging towards things Maddie would rather avoid. Suddenly feeling like she might as well have been in an interrogation room with all of the impending scrutiny, Maddie began looking for a way out. “Do you want some coffee, or something else to drink?“
- or -
A conversation between Maddie and Athena between seasons four and five.

Summary
If Buck was capable of forming coherent thoughts at the moment, he thinks he would have said something along the lines of a very mature you’re not my boss anymore. As it was, though, making any amount of eye contact with Eddie and later calling Maddie back to convince her to stay at dispatch managed to use any remaining cognitive capacity he had for the day. And that was with Chim doing most of the talking. So he said nothing, and sat.

Buck and Bobby, in the aftermath of the tsunami.

Summary
“That’s not-” Shane starts, but he stops himself. Ilya tilts his head slightly in question, but Shane bites the inside of his cheek and then shakes his head slightly, cheeks flushing. “I do trust you,” Shane says.
“But not with your car?” Ilya asks. “You are afraid I will drive all the boring out of it?”
Shane rolls his eyes.
“It’s a good car-” He starts in another refrain of one of his favorite summer songs.
Ilya rolls them and pins his boyfriend under him before he has to hear about four wheel drive and gas mileage again.
There are far better uses for Shane’s mouth, after all.
(in which ilya learns that being a passenger in the car knocks shane tf out)

Summary
“I was in the water with you last night!”
“You did one teeny lap around me! And then dragged me inside! You never play with me.”
And Shane is a little baffled by the blunt, exasperated hurt he can still hear in his boyfriend’s voice. It’s being masked with a teasing playfulness, but Shane takes the fucking Ray Bans off and sees that it’s real. Ilya is genuinely upset that Shane is saying no to playing mermaids right now.

Summary
Svetlana Vetrova is cursed. She is a folk tale. A myth. A wretched creature doomed to wander the earth alone, learning and re-learning the same invaluable lesson, the one she refuses to take to heart.
The lesson is this: what a treacherous thing it is to be a man’s soft place to land.
---
Svetlana's relationship with Ilya is changing. And change is good.
But when she visits the cottage and meets Shane for the first time, Svetlana is forced to confront her quiet, long-neglected desire for the kind of soft, domestic love they have - and why she can't seem to find it for herself.
