Summary
In the next ten minutes before Randy is set to clock out, he learns more about Benson than he has in the last year of them working together.
Benson’s ‘ma’ is moving out of his house today; he explains to Donnie. Her sister (my Aunt Marnie, that bitch) is getting divorced from her deadbeat husband and wants “Ma” to move with her back to Florida. Benson is not just relieved by this news; he’s transcendently ecstatic.
Only problem is, Benson can’t swing the bills and rent on his own.

Summary
A few minutes can make all the difference.
Benson wasn’t sure what it was. Maybe he spent a little too long on his cigarette, or maybe he took his sweet time loading up his shotgun, but nothing was going the way he planned.
Now it was just him and his fucking pathetic, moldy burger eating, tear soaked, blue-eyed coworker.
All Benson had to do was pull the trigger. His whole life had built up to this moment, and he was fucking hesitating.
Bradley was ruining everything.

Summary
He took a step forward before he could talk himself out of it. The sound of his voice coming out made him want to bury his head in his hands. “B—Benson?”
The man who looked exactly like the Benson who manned the grill when Burger’s rush hour hit turned his head slowly. The smile that spread across his face was not the quick, weary thing he begrudgingly offered to customers.
He licked his lips and studied Randy with an amusement that made Randy want to turn on his heel and bolt. When Randy closed the distance, his sneakers scuffing slightly against concrete, the man set his cup down and grinned.
“You know my brother?”

Randy meets Benson's twin brother and somehow, it brings Benson and Randy closer than ever.

Summary
After locking up, the question bubbles out of Benson’s chest like a belch, bleach flavored. The store key’s still in the lock and for once the exhaustion in his bones has beaten out the shrieking air raid sirens that've been howling in Benson's skull since his childhood. So Benson just does, no forethought or deeper examination involved. Allows himself the mercy of not looking too closely at why he’d ever think getting Bradley liquor loose and pliable would end up well for either of them.
“You wanna go get a beer?” A pause, the store key halfway turned into the locking position. He flicks it over the rest of the way to avoid having to go back inside and rearm the security system. “You old enough to even fuckin’ drink?”

Summary
Benson walks slowly, like he’s not about to drag Randy into the worst day of his life, like he’s not about to set off a chain of events which will lead to Benson lying still and bloody in a dirty parking lot.
Randy wants to vomit. It feels so real.
(Or: the Time Loop fic.)

Summary
It's not late, but it's late enough that when his phone rings, Benson raises an eyebrow. People don't call him. Or, the people who do call him don't have any business calling him right now.
Benson unplugs his phone from the charger by the dresser, and squints at the screen. The scrolling letters say, Bradley (work). He sighs. Maybe he dialed by accident, meant to call someone else and hit Benson's name instead. Who is Bradley trying to call on a Friday night?
When he picks up, Bradley says, "Hi, um. Sorry for calling. I was wondering if I could ask for a favor? I'm sort of stuck, and I need a ride, and I didn't know who else to call."

Summary
Randy almost doesn’t understand how it happened, even though he’s the one who started it. Three weeks ago he’d never had sex with anyone, never thought about doing it with a guy, didn’t think much about doing it at all. And maybe that means there’s something wrong with him, but he’s not stupid—he understands that Benson wants this from him. And if Randy can use that to keep them on track for a little while, maybe Benson will come back to himself. Will shake off the shock, and tell Randy what the plan is.

Summary
Benson works his hand over his own face, fingers shaking as they smooth his mustache down. “I– if you get in that car, it’s– we’ll have to keep running,” he says hoarsely. “They’re gonna keep looking for me.”
“For us.” Randy nods, his heart in his throat. He doesn’t think he’s ever felt the wind so keenly against his skin, doesn’t think the wet pavement has ever smelled so sweet, doesn’t think Benson’s eyes have ever been so blue. Everything feels electric, like the air before a thunderstorm. “I know. I don’t care. I don’t want to stay in this town any longer, anyway.”
“You mean it?”
“Yeah.” He’s never meant anything before, he thinks. He means this.
Benson starts to smile, then, wild and sharp. “Alright. Let’s get out of here.”

They leave together. They get ten months, two weeks, and four days.Bookmarked by mollymawk

Summary
Despite how it seems, the storm chasing community is actually pretty small. So, when someone new shows up, it's worth taking note.
At least, Steve Harrington thinks so.
Sometimes it's a newly trained expert. Someone fresh out of school that's spent years studying meteorology before finally getting out into the field for some hands-on experience. Other times, it's some video live streamer, looking for a bunch of views and an influx of cash in trade for being a little too reckless.
Of course, Steve's just the wheel man, so what the fuck does he know? That's what Henderson would say, anyway. Steve's supposed to drive, not get them killed, and follow the little dickhead's directions. That's it.

“And what about you? Are you in safe hands?”
Robby runs a hand through his beard. He thinks about Whitaker clinging on behind him on the bike. He’d hold on so tight that it was like he was trying to pull Robby into his chest rather than himself into Robby’s back.
“I don’t know about that either.”

Summary
As Robby lifts his shirt up, Dennis is overcome with the need to bury his face in his armpit until he passes out. The gold chain with its Star of David that he always wears rests just below his collar. As Robby strips off, Dennis allows himself a longing look.
Yeah, Dennis admits to himself, he’s down pretty bad.
He’s certain that the fishing trips his brothers took with their dad didn’t have this additional complication – that of the man taking them being so hot they’d want to cry. Trinity’s comment, ‘daddy wants to take you to the woodshed,’ bounces around in Dennis’s head.
-Robby takes Dennis out on a fishing trip. Neither of them expected it to end this way.
