i want to love a boy, the way i love the ocean 

wish i was not afraid, of all i have that's broken 

i know i must behave, to contain all my emotion 

but i want to love a boy, the way i love the ocean




Samantha (Sam) Quincey is gay and in 1985, this only makes life difficult. After the horrible realisation and life changing fear that her sexual understanding placed on her, Sam finds herself completely alone without a purpose in life or a goal for her future. 

She tells herself it couldn't possibly be any other way. Her parents had stated this 'choice' would leave her with nothing and although they were wrong about believing that Sam had forced herself into this path of life they did make sense knowing that Sam could never be open with who she was, she could never be who she wanted to be. Therefore it seemed impossible that she would ever find somebody to love. 

However in 1985 Sam finds herself babysitting her half sister, taking her around Starcourt mall and feeding her obsession with ice cream. 

That's how Sam stumbled upon Robin Buckley for the second time in her life, once an insignificant figure in a blurred sea of faces and now absolutely everything to her heart. 

How can Sam possibly hope to hide away and live her life in isolation when such perfection is only minutes away?

Sam may think that getting to know Robin is a perfectly innocent tactic to understanding but in reality, this new friendship is when things start to get strange, very strange.

its late march in 1986. robin buckley is still a mess after last summers endeavor, i mean, damn. would being captured by russians and meeting a child with superpowers not leave a girl in a pretty rough condition? oh, not to mention, the mall she worked at "burnt down." now she was struggling to land a new job. something always felt amiss. over last summer, she grew close with steve. and the kids. and johnathan. but she felt a gap somewhere. that gap, would be nancy wheeler. despite being invited, mikes older -- prissy -- sister denied joining their mission. robin has come to the conclusion she's a bitch. she never even met the girl but always finds her gazing at her with the nastiest face known to mankind. everything changes when robin lands a job at family video towards the end of her senior year, alongside steve harrington. unfortunately for robin, steve would be her only form of transportation. and steve also happened to be close with nancy even though their relationship is long over. and to pile onto robins mountain of issues, she just so happened to be invited to attend prom. with steve. with nancy. (ALL CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME.) - side note : ! spoiler ! this is really angsty, after chapter 5 is generally when i'll be implementing more interactions between robin and nancy so you can skip ahead to that if you'd like. i intend to make this a little bit slow burny.
