Summary
The end of the world shouldn’t be like this. It should be ending with a loud bang or a big, sad wave of applause.
Not like this.
Shallow and unsatisfying.
But it‘s reality - well the reality of William Byers, still living in god forsaken Hawkins Indiana, that had been declared a war zone countless months ago.
Mysterious migraines and old feelings are stretching out the last weeks of Oktober and might be prophetic for the actual end.Or
The apocalypse brings two boys closer together than they could possibly imagine.
(This fic is an alternative for season five & for that awful ending we got. Since the duffers can’t write shit I’m taking matters into my own hands and create you guys the most heartbreaking, gut wrenching and touching story YOU’VE EVER WITNESSED)

Genetics: The Story of It by ATCopyright

Summary
Once upon a time, there was genetics. Just a quiet field in a monastery garden, counting peas and waiting for someone to notice. That was a long time ago.
"Genetics: The Story of It" follows them from those small beginnings to becoming something too big to hold. They grew up in biology’s house, gathered twelve chaotic kids, and eventually had to move out on their own. The story is about what happens after you leave home: the mess, the freedom, the fear, and realizing your children have their own ideas about everything.
It’s a character study of a scientific field as a person: how knowledge evolves, how revolutions start small, and what independence actually costs. Also, there’s a lot of arguing about server racks and who gets the room with good ventilation.
The fic explores their daily lives, because independence is made of small moments. Genetics trying to establish a morning routine while CRISPR has already been awake for six hours "optimizing" the coffee maker.
Genetics thought independence meant freedom. Instead it means responsibility, doubt, and doing it anyway.
This is their life now. Chaotic, theirs, and just beginning.

Summary
"Copper-9 is company property," they said. It was never meant to be a nation, just an asset. A frozen rock owned on paper by JCJenson [IN SPAAAACEE!!!], used for nothing more than mining and extraction. Who cared what the colonists thought?
Well... those very colonists disagreed. In just under a year, the colonial government declared independence and emancipated the entire worker drone population, granting them full citizenship in the Republic of Coppernia.
Too bad the megacorporation refused to let billions of credits walk away. Now orbital fleets darken the sky, corporate security forces drop from the stars, and what follows has been a slow, brutal insurgency fought in scrapyards, mines, and frozen wastelands.
20 million humans. 10 million drones. One planet. No reinforcements.
Welcome to the War for Copper-9.
