    Summary

    “We haven’t done this since middle school,” Will says, voice barely above a whisper.

    “Huh,” Mike whispers back. “Yeah, guess not.”

    A couple years ago, Mike read a National Geographic article about a phenomenon called the polar night. In the farthest north and south regions of the globe, there are weeks, sometimes months depending on how close you are to the poles, where the sun does not rise above the horizon, plunging the world into a perpetual nighttime. Living in such conditions, the article had explained, can affect one’s circadian rhythm, heighten issues with concentration and energy levels, and cause a spike in depressive symptoms among local populations. Some resort to using light therapy lamps to mimic the daylight.

    It was only after the Byers moved away, all those years ago, that Mike began to understand what the prolonged absence of the sun can do to a person.

    The Upside Down is gone, and everyone has made it out unscathed. In the aftermath of the not-so-end of the world, snowballs turn into avalanches. Sometimes it just takes time.

    or: Mike gets into Brown, Will gets into RISD, and the friends-to-???-to-lovers slowburn that ensues.

    Summary

    After catching his boyfriend cheating, makeup artist Will Byers ends up making out with a stranger in a club who kisses him with more care than anyone ever has.

    Then the stranger turns out to be Mike Wheeler — actor, Hollywood heartthrob, and the lead of the movie Will has just been hired to work on.

    Working together for six months was already a bad idea.

    Hooking up with each other definitely makes it worse.

    Summary

    Ron Weasley was never meant to stand out.
    Sixth son. Hand-me-down wand. Overshadowed brother.

    But one strange summer changes everything. A life saved, a vampire summoned, and whispers of runes long lost to history — all before Ron's even set foot in Hogwarts.

    Now, as he boards the train to begin his magical education, Ron finds himself walking a path no Weasley has before: one lined with secrets, silver, and green. The Sorting Hat pauses. Slytherin chooses. And the world begins to shift.

    Meanwhile, Harry Potter, newly escaped from a cupboard under the stairs, makes his first friend — a boy with nervous hands and quick instincts — and together, they step into a world neither fully understands.

    But the old magic stirs.
    A forgotten prophecy watches.
    And fate has chosen more than one boy.

    A canon-divergent reimagining of Year One, told from Ron’s perspective — where bravery wears darker robes, destiny runs deeper, and being a hero doesn’t always mean being the Chosen One.

    Summary

    TBA is now officially in AO3!

    Year Zero: The Wizarding War

    Just when things appeared to be turning around, an unfortunate turn of events lands Ron from the Hogwarts battlefield to a strange place with only Snape, of all people, for company. Because apparently, he is dead. Or at least, very nearly there.
    But then Ron is given the chance to change his fate: accept death and move to the next great adventure, return to the world of the living at the height of the war, or go further back, for a chance to relive his life and save even more.
    The question is, what will he have to do in exchange?

    Year One: Beginning With A Stone

    Ron wakes up on July 1991 with memories of his old life, and a new sense of purpose. On the first year of his new life, the board is set for sweeping changes, new friends and wild discoveries to teach Ron that, even for a time traveler, there is still always more to learn, and something new to experience.
    Can Ron stay one step ahead of all the surprises awaiting him, and help Harry survive their first encounter with a disembodied but still dangerous Dark Lord?
