    Summary

    Three years ago, William and Est signed a treaty of silence. They were too young, too tired, and too afraid of breaking each other further to stay. They walked away from a life they had barely finished building, leaving behind a half-furnished nursery and a mountain of things unsaid.

    Now, Wesley is five, and the only bridge left between them is a series of precisely timed custody handoffs and a polite distance that is starting to feel like a lie. When a series of small moments—a lost shoe, a school craft day, and a summer storm—forces the walls to crumble, William and Est are forced to face a terrifying truth:

    They never stopped loving each other. They just didn't know how to survive it the first time.

    Summary

    But time passes as it always does, and Mike finds that the answers to all his questions have always been right in front of him in the form of one Will Byers.

    Summary

    It's been 25 months since the Upside Down was destroyed.

    Both Will Byers and Mike Wheeler are trying to move on with their lives. But, as it turns out, the Upside Down isn't done with them.

    And perhaps more importantly, Will and Mike aren't quite as done with each other as they thought.

    Summary

    When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.

     

    OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)

    Summary

    You’d never quite anticipated yourself being transmigrated into a game you poured countless hours into, but here you were. A mere NPC with an already there life, and a minimum wage job at the most infamous café in the game. You essentially had a front row seat to the very plot you used to watch unfurl through a screen.

    However, despite the close proximity and no matter how hard you try, destiny keeps dragging you in by a string and tying you to the very thing you wanted to avoid. But hey, you’re just a simple café employee with a little more information than the average person—what harm could come from a little interaction?

    Summary

    When time begins to unravel, gods and demigods from across eras are pulled into a timeless realm. Their only hope of saving Olympus lies in reading the stories of the past, beginning with The Lightning Thief.

    But as each page turns, secrets are exposed, loyalties shift, and fate itself starts to bend. And at the center of it all is Percy Jackson — a boy whose story is far from finished.

    This story will look similar to Who Knows, Maybe Fate Can Change. It was the original to this but I took it down. Tags will be added as it goes and posts will probably be monthly with at least one chapter posted by the last Sunday of the month. Also, I will be altering some things of cannon in the books. They will be bolded and underlined.

    Summary

    Katsuki never expected to be taken by a dragon.
    And he definitely didn’t expect the dragon to keep him.

    Locked in a mountain den by a massive red beast that watches him like a treasure, Katsuki fights tooth and nail to escape. But the dragon doesn’t hurt him—it brings him things. Watches him. Listens when he yells. And when it finally shifts into a scarred, red-eyed man with sharp teeth and a voice like molten stone… the fire in Katsuki’s chest begins to burn in ways he doesn’t understand.

    He learns the truth too late: dragons don’t choose their bonds. The bond chooses them.

    Now it’s crawling under his skin, threading between his ribs, whispering that maybe he doesn’t want to run after all.
    Not when the dragon is looking at him like he’s already his.
    Not when part of him… wants to be.

    Summary

    Summary

    Steve pivoted back to his original demand. “You can’t tell anyone.” Munson scoffed. “I mean it. You cannot tell anyone about this.”

     

    “What’s in it for me if I don’t?” Eddie said as he stood up to his full height and crossed his arms.

     

    +++

    In a last-ditch attempt to live and create a new leader for their hive mind, the vines in the tunnel released a (probably) toxic goop right into Steve’s face. Getting powers from the Upside Down was the cherry on the shit sundae Steve had been served since Halloween.

    All he wanted to do was graduate in peace, left alone to lick his wounds and mourn the loss of his relationship with Nancy and the loss of his popularity in private. It turns out the Spring of ‘85 might be when he finally finds a family, real friends, and a very unexpected romance.

    Summary

    Troy Barrett comes to Ottawa wanting stability. He tells himself he wants the team, the routine, the structure, the safety of fitting in without needing too much from anyone. This is his clean start, and he needs to do whatever it takes to keep it.

    What he finds instead is Shane Hollander, amazing perfect Shane Hollander, and the uncomfortable realisation that the thing he’s been trying hardest not to want might be the only thing that actually feels like what he needs.

    As lines blur and tempers rise, Troy learns the hard way that wanting to belong can turn into wanting to keep, and that some things aren’t up for negotiation, especially when there’s a Russian captain who’s already decided what’s not on offer.

    or

    “Hey, Ilya?” Troy asks, already regretting it. “I was actually going to ask you about someone.”

    The moment he says Shane Hollander’s name, the locker room goes quiet, and Troy knows he’s crossed a line he didn’t fully understand.

    Or

    Troy’s POV of the events best called ‘Ilya’s worst nightmare’

    Summary
