    Summary

    Winter, New York City, 1992.
    Mike Wheeler has always been late. Chronically so. Late to school, late to work, late to realize just how head over heels he was and is for his best friend, Will Byers. During Winter break, Mike visits Will in NYC, excited not only to explore the big city but to explore Will’s version of it. He finds Will brighter, more social, less repressed, and he seems happy with his new boyfriend, Carlton, but things aren’t what they appear.

    The two explore Will’s new life, while Mike battles nostalgia, his heart’s heavy yearning, and his own morals. If Will is happy, that’s all that matters- or at least that’s what he tells himself. The more time they spend, the more the lines seem to blur, and it becomes harder to ignore the feelings between them that maybe never really went away.

    Summary

    Simon died. Eaten and consumed by the Blood Eel. Not until he wakes up in a place called Erid where sentient rocks live and a guy who can’t seem to wear his glasses the right way.

    OR

    Simon gets thrown into Project Hail Mary because he deserves to be taken care of after the ending in Iron Lung. (basically, in other words. Simon and Grace act stupid, made everyone in Erid their spectators of their stupidity)

    Summary

    Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.

    It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
    So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.

    Summary

    People were bumping into Mike, and he was bumping into them, but he didn't even care. He barely noticed their presence as he fled from the theater. All that mattered was getting away. Far, far, away from Hawkins. The only sound his ears could discern was the faint call from who he thought was Will behind him. His chest tightened even more - but it was the good kind of tight this time - accompanied by panic coiling even tighter around his lungs. His step faltered for a fraction of a second, the idea of turning around and running into Will's warm, gentle arms filling his head and captivating him.

    But he knew it was wrong.

    So, so wrong.

    Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have loved each other forever, but neither will admit it to the other. Vecna has been hiding, Mike was kicked out and has been dealing with the consequences. He isn't doing the best, and he ends up being the perfect target. Will Mikes near death experiences force them to address their mutual feelings for each other? Or will it push them farther apart then ever before?

    Or: Mike Wheeler gets Vecna'd. A s5 rewrite.

    *Updates every Friday! Will change back to Monday and Friday eventually!*

    Summary

    Even all these years after the events of the Upside Down, Will never truly moved on from "his Tammy". Now that he's newly single, maybe he will have a chance to change that.

    or

    The Duffer Brothers may be cowards but I certainly am not.

    Summary

    Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.

    After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
    Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.

    Summary

    HEAVILY INSPIRED BY @quackysprouts ART ON X!!

    Claire had just wanted to find her brother. It was supposed to be simple and easy: get to the R.P.D., chew Chris out for losing contact with her, get back to normal life.
    It wasn't that simple. Nothing ever was. Chris is missing. There's a zombie who's weirdly helpful. An abandoned little girl who's way too popular with all sorts of the wrong people.
    Not to mention the big guy in the trenchcoat, the guy actively becoming a monster, and the FBI agent who's suspiciously invested in the virus that had created the monsters.
    She's gonna find a way out of this hellhole, and she'll drag both Leon and Sherry out with her too, even if it kills her.

    Summary

    Richie Tozier has a mouth that gets him into trouble.
    Will Byers has a habit of noticing things he probably shouldn’t.

    A fake relationship sounds harmless enough—just something to get through the summer in Hawkins, explain a few sleeping arrangements, and maybe irritate the right people. It’s not supposed to mean anything. It’s definitely not supposed to make anyone jealous.

    But loud jokes turn into quiet moments, and pretending starts to feel a little too real. And if the plan began just to make two boys squirm, no one is prepared for what happens when it actually works.

    Summary

    In this crossover story, two competitive worlds blend as rising hockey prodigies and figure skaters cross paths on the ice. On the ice, victory matters. Off the ice, everything becomes far more complicated.

    OR; my self indulgent fic because I love both of these fandoms so much. This is the first installment, and it will be a world crossover, while the next two installments will be a story switch (aka Ilya and Shane in Yuri!!! On Ice and Yuuri and Victor in Heated Rivalry).

    Summary

    nine years ago El Hopper died. nine years ago Dustin Henderson felt like he did too.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    1996:

    Dustin is a NASA engineer posted in Iceland, in denial, still mourning, still in love (not that hed ever admit that part). El hopper is now Jane Lovell, owner of a small bakery, trying to parent the little girl she found in the woods and took in because she reminded her far too much of herself, still mourning, still trying to move on, failing.

    And then the universe brings them back together.

    Has too much changed? Has not enough changed? But most importantly, have they left their horror story too find themselves in a romcom instead?

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Maybe Mike would’ve felt brave for once and held Will’s hand. Maybe, Will wouldn’t have minded. Maybe then, he’d ask to go somewhere else, a broom closet or something, and maybe in there, Mike would have had the guts to spill everything out. Tell Will how much he cared for him, how he was the most important thing in Mike’s life, how he would rather his dad die a thousand times over than Will leave him. Tell Will just how much he lov-

    Ding!

    His coffee’s ready.

     

    or: What if Mike was the one to see rovickie kiss at the hospital instead of Will? (this is pretty much a volume 1 rewrite, except I make Mike an actual character with feelings and not a cardboard cutout (yes, im still mad about the finale))
