Summary
NOTICE: I am sorry to say that this fic is on hiatus due to lack of motivation. I will try to continue it at some point, but I'm not sure when that will be. Please don't let this put you off reading it though, as I am still proud of it! :)
AU where Jonathan and Nancy end up dying in that room in 'Escape from Camazotz', dredging up complicated feelings for the entire cast, especially Will and Mike.
DISCLAIMER: I have many problems with the final season of Stranger Things but I should say that Nancy and Jonathan surviving was NOT one of them (as I liked their epilogue scene and I love that Steve and Jonathan finally became friends, kinda lol). Therefore, I'd consider this a sort of 'what-if' fic rather than a full-blown Fix-It fic.
However, this IS a Fix-it fic when it comes to Byler, as I wanted to create a narrative where Will comes out more on his own terms (and also because he thinks it's what his brother would have wanted), rather than that vile plot line where he's basically blackmailed by Vecna into coming out. Also he deserves better than just being shoved with some random guy near the end of the epilogue who he's barely implied to be dating. Him and Mike Wheeler are getting together, damn it!

Trains, Headbands, and The Great Pirate Era of the 2040s by Explodingfrontdoorbell
Fandoms: One Piece (Anime & Manga), Original Work

Summary
It's 2045, and the world has fallen into ruin, having been almost completely taken over by artificial intelligence and greedy aristocrats.
But, more importantly, One Piece has finally ended... on a cliffhanger.
As an act of defiance against the AI overlords who tried to have it cancelled and forgotten, its creator, Eiichiro Oda, hid the real ending in an undisclosed location on the now-dystopian Earth, and all Ethel Williams wants to do is find it.
This fic is based on a post I saw somewhere (can't remember exactly who posted it but credits to them!) That basically said that One Piece should end on a cliffhanger, with the real ending being hidden somewhere like how the one piece is in the manga/anime, thus starting a real-life Great Pirate Era.
I've tagged it as both One Piece and as an original work because, to be honest, it doesn't really have much to do with One Piece lmao. That just kinda acts as the catalyst for the journey the characters go on.
I also don't really know where I'm gonna go with this lol. I kinda want it to start pretty silly and then get progressively more serious, but eventually it might sound as though I'm just kinda making shit up as I go along.

Summary
Jack Shepherd wakes up and tries to prepare himself for another stressful day on Craphole Island (as he and the other Oceanic 815 crash survivors have taken to calling it), only to find that everyone is acting strangely and the laws of reality don't seem to apply anymore.
Literally just a stupid fic about Jack having a weird ass dream bc I love a good funny dream sequence and I needed to get the Lost brainrot out of my system.
I tried to set it just after Kate gave him sleeping pills but it's been a while since I've actually watched the show (haven't been able to access it since it got taken off Netflix rip) so apologies if I get some of the details wrong (I will say that I know I've deviated from the canon MASSIVELY by including both Aaron and Boone, but I didn't realise this until well into writing this fic... whoops ig)
Also this is my first ever Ao3 fic so please be nice lol.

Summary
In which the TARDIS is a very strange house, with a series of very strange owners all called 'Doctor'. The neighbours take care to avoid the House, but there are some, newcomers usually, who are foolish enough to ask about the rooms for rent. The neighbours avoid them too, the tenants, who seem to become stranger and stranger with every moment they spend there.
The House is a fact of life, and it won't be going anywhere anytime soon... or perhaps ever.

Summary
Nacho definitely remembered dying.
He remembered holding a gun to Bolsa’s head, knowing that even if he pulled the trigger, he would be gunned down in an instant.
He hadn’t wanted to give those assholes the satisfaction of shooting him. He did it himself.
He thought he might remember being dead. There was definitely a sense that time had passed. But… his death had been quick. There was no light at the end of a tunnel; his life hadn’t flashed before his eyes. He had pulled the trigger, and then he was gone. He hadn’t even had time to register the sound of the gunshot.
But when he finally managed to claw his way out of the dirt that covered him, he was alone. No Salamancas, no Fring and his goons, no Bolsa.
And there was a sense of… blackness, he supposed. Like when you wake up after sleeping; even when you can’t remember any dreams, your mind knows that time has passed.
It felt a little like that.
(Nacho wakes up in the desert more than four years after his death. With the Salamancas' iron grip on the drug trade gone, he meets Jesse Pinkman and Walter White.)
