Heyyy!! I was just wondering if it's okay with you if you could write something for little! Eleven and Cg! Hopper. I was thinking if it's okay with you if maybe she's regressing and not aware of it and Hopper finds out and helps her through it maybe some hurt/comfort/angst???
If that's not okay that's totally fine I just thought it would be a cool idea
My Girl | Jim Hopper x El Hopper
Genre: hurt, comfort
Warnings: crying, El being insecure about her regression
~
Hopper swears he hears sniffling as he creeps through the small cabin him and his daughter El have come to share, he knows it’s different from the house she was staying in while in California but Eleven has never complained of the space.
Maybe she’s missing living with the Byers? Hopper can’t blame the girl, they are both of their family’s, Joyce still lives down the street though so El could easily walk or bike there if she was that worked up.
“El? Can I come in?” There’s not a verbal response but the door creaks open enough for Jim to see his crying daughter on the floor. She’s holding the vans Max bought her while staring down at the laces.
“Sweet girl, what’s wrong?” Hopper approaches hesitantly, kneeling himself on the floor beside the curly haired girl.
“I- I can’t get it!” She exclaims as more tears drip down her blotchy cheeks.
“Cant get what? Your shoes?” She nods shyly, dropping the maroon red items into Hoppers hands. He’s a bit confused as he knows Eleven is very capable of tying her own shoes, although there is a youngness to her state that Hoppers never seen.
“Let me help.” He slides the left shoe onto her already socked foot then the other, smiling when Els eyes light up when Hopper wraps the laces around the backs of her ankles before tying them into bows. He’s seen Max do it a few times, figures El would like them tied like that.
“That better?” She nods eagerly, stumbling to her feet, having Hopper catch her arm before she topples over and making the man’s heart do a quick jump in worry.
“Mm, thank you! You did them just like Maxie!” The high pitched mumble of Elevens words makes Hopper pause, she sounds so young, so much more naive than how she normally is. At least in the childlike aspect.
“Of course, anytime kid.” Hopper ruffles Elevens hair, laughing at her falling into his chest to put her arms around his waist.
“Can I tell you something?” She presses herself farther into Hoppers hold.
“Anything.”
“Sometimes, I feel younger. Like- like a little kid and Maxie says it’s healthy and a coping mechanism, but I don’t know, I don’t want you to be upset at me.” Hoppers pulling away in an instant, kneeling to put his hands on Elevens shoulders and be down at her level.
“I will never be upset with you El, if you ever feel like that and need help I am always here. You’re my girl, that never changes.” Hopper assures, El’s eyes well up with tears at the words but she’s quick at stuffing her head into Hoppers neck.
Flying fish are an awesome kind of fish that can soar and skip above the water! They fly to escape from predators like tuna, swordfish and marlin, as their "wings" let them glide.
It is really cool that their fins let them do this, but it makes them an easy target for sea birds, like Frigate Birds. They can't escape bullying either way. Rude.
hi jj! me again :)) could you possibly write something with little!eleven and little!max? ive seen some of berrymoos hcs for both of them and they’d be so cute with el all quiet and curious and Max yelling all the time shdhhdhdh - 🐝
Swings | Max Mayfield x El Hopper
a/n: 🐝 you are a dote for requesting this, it’s adorable, I included Cg Lucas so I hope that’s okay. Also I should be answering some more asks throughout this week, hopefully, so bear with me a bit if I spam <3
genre: fluff
warnings: none

“El come on, we gotta get to the park faster than Lucas!” Max tugs Els hand behind her, running towards the empty playground, ignoring Lucas’ calls for them to slow down before they trip.
“Maxie, Lucas is telling us to slow down.” The brunette tries to slow them both down, looking over her shoulder where Lucas is in a light jog to try and keep up.
“It’s fine! C’mon we’re almost there.” Well they are only a few feet away, Eleven let’s her legs carry herself just as fast as Max is going, and soon enough they’re stopped in front of the slides.
“Girls, I- jeez you two are fast- you need to wait up for me more.” Lucas talks breathless, putting his hands on his knees to try to catch his breath, it has Max giggling.
“Thought you played sports?” She teases, making El go red in the face to not giggle right along with the red head.
“Haha, okay you two, go play. I’ll be on the bench.” Max is pulling El over to the swings before she can go to answer Lucas.
~
“I bet I can go higher than you!” While Max is already getting some air on her swing, El is just sitting there looking at Max in awe.
“Why aren’t you going?” Max’s brows knit together, her feet skidding against the sand to slow down.
“I don’t know how, never been on swings.” That has Mayfield’s mouth falling ajar, she quickly jumps off her swing to go stand in front of El, tapping a finger at her chin in thought.
“You gotta pump your legs, like this.” Max moves to take hold of Els legs, moving them up and down as the swing stays still to demonstrate the motion.
“But I’m not moving?”
“You will when you back up a bit. I’ll push you to help!” Max checks to make sure Els holding onto the chains of the swing before she gives her the first push. El’s squealing in excitement already, barely off the ground, but Max grins widely as she gets El higher and listens to the pure joy she lets out.

🌻 note: i saw this walkman gif and immediately needed to do a max board!! i personally head canon man as a middle regressor who uses younger gear to regulate - i feel like she regresses to deal with all the trauma from her family life as well as all the upside down drama. steve is her caregiver an they have a father-daughter dynamic but it originally started as a older brother situation before they found this to be more comfortable (steve helps her eventually tell lucas an he becomes her babysitter - steve still has the main roll of cg!!)
