Summary
Neither one of them was willing to mar his memory with petty life affirmations. But Joyce needed Hopper’s comfort, his strength, his easy way with her boys. Bob had patched over the holes Lonnie punched in their lives, but Jim Hopper? Jim Hopper completed their matched set, holes and scars and all. He fit into their lives so seamlessly that no one questioned it.
But he still wouldn’t touch her.
Or, that time when El called bullshit on everybody.

Summary
Joyce smiles fondly, amused by his sudden new interest, but her brows furrow all the same. “Hop, I love that you’re showing an interest in all of this, but… since when are you a camera guy?” The tips of his ears pinken, and she presses on, sensing something more is beneath his new hobby. “What?”
“Since I realized that we could make a movie. Together.” His voice drops low and husky.
Or; the one where Joyce and Hopper make a sex tape.

"Hop," she said after a moment. "You know you're allowed to cry, and that we go through whatever grief we need to go through before going back to work or wherever, right?"
Hopper opened his eyes, looking at her with surprise.
"What?"
"That you're allowed to cry," Joyce repeated. "For everything you saw, for everything you felt and for Eleven. You're allowed to feel all of that. As long as in the end you realize it's not your fault, Hop. None of this is your fault, you're not a curse. A curse would never make me this happy."or
