Love Will Tear Us Apart (A Glimmer Of Hope Refusing to Fade) by MagicSchoolbusDropout08
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Feb 2026

Summary
After the events of 'A Glimmer of Light Refusing to Fade,' Will, Mike, and the Party are all battle-worn, exhausted, and half-grown-up - not to mention ready for their NDA deals to carry them into an easy life of peace, luxury, and recovery.
...but, of course, that doesn't happen. Whether it's the Upside Down following them and haunting whatever city they live in the same as it haunted Hawkins or just trying to survive after what they have, it's never going to be easy.
(It's worth a shot anyway. And they'll be damned if they don't try.)

Summary
In a galaxy ruled by tradition and colonization, Mike Wheeler of the Solokovs has always been the misfit - a bookworm and a bit of a loser who's been forced into warrior training on the frozen planet of Denorax because he's the backup heir. But when he's appointed to being a diplomat for Denorax instead of a fighter, everything changes, especially when he meets Dhuri.
Dhuri, going by Will behind closed doors, is the first diplomat for his planet Thorara and the native tribe ruling it as well as the youngest diplomat in centuries. He comes bearing warnings of war and threats, but when Mike chooses to align Denorax with Thorara and himself with Will, it begins an alliance like nothing ever seen before - and Mike makes a friend (or perhaps more), which becomes even more important when galactic tensions rise and the two boys and two planets have to rely on each other to survive the storm coming.

Ground Control & Major Tom by MagicSchoolbusDropout08

Summary
Byler astronaut AU. Mike’s just started working at Mission Control for NASA in Houston, and things are… fine. He’s not nervous at all about screwing something up the way that he screwed his life up before.
(But you know what helps? The fact that one of the astronauts on the ISS is actually really sweet and talks Mike through a panic attack he has on call with the ship. His name is Will, and he hums the ‘Star Trek’ theme song enough that half the people on that station want to kill him but don’t because he’s genuinely lovely. As time goes on, Mike looks forward to talking to Will more than anything else in his life and starts falling for the disembodied voice. And then he realizes that he knows Will. That he has for a very long time.)

Chou's Marvel Ficlets by MagicSchoolbusDropout08
Fandom Marvel, Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
A series of oneshots about Marvel, most involving Marvel's Peter Parker and Tony Stark being our favorite father-son duo.
Some are fluffy, some will rip out your heart, some are an unholy mix. It's a grab-bag of feels, and I hope you enjoy.

Summary
The whole concept is stupid. In her opinion, anyway.
They've only been in Jackson for about a month and a half when Ellie learns the significance of the third Sunday in June. A specific day of the year chosen just to celebrate fathers. But she doesn't have one of those, so she's not sure exactly what that has to do with her.

Summary
a Nimona Secret Santa gift for singusasongchousthepigeonman
Nimona honestly doesn't even register the arrow, but Ballister does, and he wants it out.
Normally, she'd just sparkle and reform into a new shape, hiding all signs of injury. Key word: hiding. There'd be a new ache — the magic connective tissue or whatever that keeps her together doesn't like being forcibly stretched — but that's nothing new. The people of this Kingdom have hated her for a millennium — she's picked up some nicks and scratches over the years. And lucky her — she can feel echoes of all of them. All the time.
