    Summary

    JD was their manager and their leader. He was the one that got them gigs and a record deal and answered the fanmail. He made sure they got paid and made them famous in every corner of the troll tree.

    20 years later the brothers slowly realize that JD was much more than that. He made sure they still went to school and to bed at a reasonable hour. He made them eat their vegetables and settled their petty fights and dried their tears. First and foremost, JD has always been their big brother.

    And in an ideal world, that’s all he would have been.

    or

    JD and the pitfalls of parentification.

    or

    Four times the brothers realize JD was more of a parent than a brother and one time JD has to admit that it wasn't fair.

    Summary

    It’s the middle of December 1989, and everyone is finishing up their first semester at college. They’re all returning back to Hawkins for the break, excited for a few weeks of rest, relaxation, and catching up with old friends.
    Mike should be excited; he hasn’t spoken to many of his friends since he started college, the losses of the last few years still weighing heavily on his mind. But instead of excitement, his stomach is filled with dread. Dread of being back in his shitty hometown. Dread of all the memories that still haunt each corner of Hawkins.

    Dread of seeing Will again for the first time in months.

    Summary

    After Will Byers returns to Hawkins after living in California for five years, his life turns upside down. Going back to his past life — a life he thought was long gone — comes with great struggle Will tries to convince everyone (himself included) it’s just some seasonal depression that’s going to wear off once fall is over.

    Turns out it’s anything but a seasonal depression, as Will begins to feel like he’s going insane — feeling like he’s haunted by the ghost of his past, struggling to eat anything as food looks like poison, and with a good night’s sleep becoming a thing of the past.

    And it certainly doesn’t help that Mike Wheeler keeps staring at him from across the hallway like a creep. He keeps staring instead of talking to Will, instead of making things right after ghosting him years ago.

    Because despite once being inseparable, now Will sees Mike as nothing but a cowardly stranger, who didn’t have the guts to write him one last letter saying he didn’t want to keep in touch anymore. Or at least that’s Will’s point of view.

    TW. viewer discretion is advised, this work is a tough read that gets emotional and violent at times. please stop reading if it is too much for you.

    Summary

    An attempt to kidnap a child led to the mishap of three powerful gods trapped inside the weapons of the three most traumatized children.

    A jester trapped in the staff of the shortest kid.

    A knight sealed within the giant lollipop of the shy hooded sister.

    And a harbinger constantly setting aflame the imprisonment of a cane of the most ordinary yet courageous boy among the siblings with a knack to get into dangerous situations.

     

    Yet, this does not deter the upcoming storm looming over their heads.

    But it does give the adults, especially the Ancient Heroes, early gray hair.

    Summary

    Returning to the Kingdom has never felt so relieving to the trio, only now they have to babysit their newest resident, the crazed Jester himself, Shadow Milk, who seems to pry much more then they’d like.

    (Basically, Pure Vanilla manages to take Shadow Milk and his minions with him before they escape (reluctantly on the Deceit trios end) and now has them living in the Vanilla Kingdom for a while before moving him to the Cookie Kingdom for safety purposes due to the other Ancients returning from their trips to Beast-Yeast)

    Also! Small Headcanon: Each of the kiddos have scars they got from the Witches castle

    GingerBrave: Scars and Claw marks on his body, mainly his torso shoulders and legs, scar on his cheek, on on his neck and burn marks on his arms (I like to think one of his Skull Buttons are Enchanted by Wizard to hide them)

    Wizard: Half Blind and missing an eye, lost it after he stole the Wand from the Witch but got caught and and slight burns at his fingertips he got when he first used his staff (He covers it with his hair)

    Strawberry: large claw mark on her back and some scars on her arms from falling from the Window, she is missing a chunk of the dough around her mouth (Hidden by Hoodie)

    Summary

    “Shadow Milk Cookie…” Pure Vanilla Cookie leaned in closer, to the point where Shadow Milk’s surroundings began to fade away due to Pure Vanilla’s own golden spectacle. “Please. Cease this fighting between us… You don’t need to follow a script.”

    SHADOW MILK stared.
    “...what?”

    This was the role Shadow Milk was always meant to play.

    Summary

    Satoshi was called back to the Alola region to finally take up his responsibilities as the regional champion - he was now going to be the face of Alola, their protector, their guide. It didn't matter that he ended up losing the Pokemon World Championship, or that he's been stagnant in Kanto for the past couple of months - he is now an adult in the eyes of Alolan laws, and the region still saw him as a powerful and worthy trainer.

    Little did he know that stepping up to the plate was going to forcibly kickstart the next chapter of his life. Nothing was ever quite normal for the Chosen One, after all.

    Though he is still yet to learn that he should reach out for help before it's too late.

    ~~~

    What originally started as a "What if there was a Team Rainbow Rocket arc in the anime?" has turned into a self-indulgent future AU that I have been working on for months now.

    Summary

    Ever since he could hold a crayon, Louie wrote. Beyond that he held onto every single piece of writing, when Donald smiled, took a picture and discreetly threw any of his works out, Louie would fish them out of the trashcan as soon as the coast was clear. He was proud of what he could do, how he could spin the smallest of thoughts into sentences. Now he has to find words out of something brand new.
