Summary
“Hey,” Verso tilts his head chidingly. “I may not be the creator of this world, but I’m more or less sure that you’re not supposed to be sad here. We even found a list of rules, look,” he waves a crumpled piece of paper. Reads, “‘Feeling whooo allowed only in designated areas. Inside the house whooo is prohibited’! See?”
“I’m not inside the house,” Gustave objects, just to be an ass — he can feel a smile forming on his lips. “And I’m not ‘whooo’. More like, ‘hmmm’.”
“‘Hmmm’. Is that the official term?”
“Yup,” Gustave lowers his head, examining the wrist connections of the prosthesis.
Or: Gustave finds out that “Barbapapa” is not really compatible with intricate mechanisms. Luckily, Verso is there to help.

Summary
The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:
Maelle.
OR
Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.
He's definitely not prepared for their children.

Summary
Four years after the end of his last long term relationship, university professor Gustave Auclair's life has turned into a monotonous cycle on repeat. His dating life is non existent, his sex life is six feet under, and his younger days as a dominant are long behind him--that is, until he finds himself in a dominant/submissive arrangement with Verso Dessendre, one of the most highly sought after men in all of Lumieré.
It works just fine for them. They're extremely compatible, the sex is great, and the paycheck Gustave gets is even better.
It works just fine for them--until Gustave just *had* to go and catch feelings for him.
Because of course he did.

Summary
Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.
“I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.
Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."
or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.

It’s some backwater village named Lumière.

Summary
Argyle wasn't sure what he was expecting when he jumped into a strange portal to save Jonathan, a boy whom he'd been in love with for months, a boy he'd followed into the literal apocalypse. A boy forever in love with Nancy Wheeler. He had hoped for something painless, but when he wakes, he finds himself in California in November 1983, a full 3 years in the past and in a world that has no idea what's about to hit it in a few years and Will Byers has just vanished into thin air.
Yeah, not what he was imagining. But, since he's here, he might as well make the most of it.
He hops in his van and does what he's always done for the past year. He goes to Jonathan.
He's determined to stop the disaster before it starts and save Will while he's at it. But, considering that no one in Hawkins even knows that the Upside Down is a thing, never mind any understanding of Vecna's whole deal, AND no one in Hawkins has any clue who he is, including the boy his heart belongs to, he has his work cut out for him.

Summary
When Astarion awakens on that bright sunny beach, he meets Tav. Tav is a druid, fiercely devoted to protecting nature. But in Tav's mind, "protecting nature" is a bit more intense than what other druids tend to believe.
It means that if Astarion wishes to stay with the group, his vampiric hunger must be sated on the barest of blood.
But that should be no problem. After all, Astarion is used to the hunger.
***
"And what have you fed on?" Tav demands. His eyes are sharp as flint. It is as if this is the question that matters most to him.
"What have I fed on—well, no one you care about, I assure you," Astarion promises with a giggle just this side of manic. "Merely some woodland creatures, you see. Just enough to keep me standing and able to fight!"
It's the wrong answer.

Summary
The Wraith had always thought that he was doing the right thing serving as Reaper for the Spirit who'd found him, but when his prey begins acting in ways which make him question that, things in The Entity's realm start to go in directions it won't allow. Any time those barely surviving choose to take a stand, there is always a price to pay, and in a cyclical living nightmare like this, how much can the survivors really afford to believe in?
Is it truly possible for there to be any good end when you're already in hell?
