A loss, a vex, or you by mykingdomforakissuponhershoulder

Summary
Mike and Will deal with the aftermath of everything together. Mike deals with his feelings solo.
Takes place after most of the events of s5e8 but before the epilogue. Still canon-compliant with all of it, though.
Tags/rating will update as chapters are posted.
Title from ‘Jonathan’ by Adrianne Lenker and Buck Meek.
Songs at the beginning of each chapter are loosely lyrically relevant and/or fit what I imagine the feeling of the chapter to be. Read with or without. -

Summary
There was something strange about this world. Something in the air. Ed wasn't quite sure what it was, but he was going to get to the bottom of this.
When Edward Elric travels through the portal after defeating Father, Truth refuses to accept Ed's alchemy in exchange for Alphonse. He is faced with three choices, none appealing. Either return empty-handed, sacrifice his own life for Alphonse's, or do a favor for Truth. He picks option three, and finds himself waking up on a trash-covered beach in a strange world, one where every man, woman, and child have some strange power. In order to get home, he must accomplish whatever it is that Truth wants from him, and unfortunately, the being is not exactly inclined to provide thorough explanations.

Summary
“Oi, nerd. What’re you doing next week?” Katsuki asks, no preamble.
“Uh.” Izuku blinks wide eyes up at him. “Hi, Kacchan. What am I – wait, what? When?”
“Next week,” Katsuki repeats, and oddly, Izuku seems to go pink across the bridge of his nose. “Over break? You got plans or what?”
“I mean. Not really? I guess I’ll probably just be at home. If you…” He pauses, swallowing, then plows on determinedly, “If you want to come over or anything. I know you haven’t really been to my place in years, but – well, you know. If you’re bored.”
“So you’re free,” Katsuki confirms.
Izuku squints at him. “Yes…?”
“Okay.” Katsuki falls silent, trying to work out a not-stupid way to ask, and then decides that asking at all is actually the stupid part. Why let him say no? “Come skiing with me,” he demands.
Featuring snowy hills and private hot springs, a little healing, lots of talking, nosy parents, and Katsuki & Izuku remembering what it's like to be friends.
And then learning how to become more.

Summary
"You’re going home for your brother’s graduation, right?” Nancy asks. “How are you getting there?”
His quick laugh rang through the phone. “Well this is New York City. I don’t have a car, so I was going to fly.”
“Well it just so happens that I have a car. And I’m driving down. So what do you say to me picking you up on the way? I mean, I’ll be passing through there anyway. Then you wouldn’t have to pay for a plane ticket.” Nancy explained.
Jonathan was quiet for a moment. “Yeah, that’s uh … that’s fine. Yeah, that works.”
Nancy decides to pick up Jonathan on their way back to Hawkins for their brothers' high school graduation.

It's always Robin.

The Wand Chooses the Wizard: A New Era of Wand Lore by TIGERSAGE

Summary
Mid‑May 1998. The war is over, but Garrick Ollivander has no intention of returning quietly to Diagon Alley. At the Burrow, he unveils a secret that could shatter centuries of tradition: Dual Core Wands.
What begins as a quiet visit becomes a lore‑rich revelation — pureblood customs, the economics of wandmaking, the politics of blood status, and the eccentric brilliance of a wandmaker who dares to expand the old rule: the wand chooses the wizard.
Fanservice, philosophy, and wandlore collide in a story of magic evolving with its wielders. Consider it a Gift Freely Given.

Summary
Soooooooooo that finale was really bad - mostly cause they made rovickie bones :(
Therefore here is this fic! It’s focused on rovickie and how Robin has tried to “change” to fit in with everyone (i.e. fixing what the duffer brothers did to my androgynous/masc presenting queen) and how Vickie has noticed this.
