Summary
Birch looked at The Count. He saw the fangs, the purple skin, the features no mortal puppet would have. He saw them all, but that never changed what he saw The Count as. “No. You changed for the better, while I stayed behind in my stubbornness. I became a monster.”
He felt The Count tighten his grip on Birch’s hands, “Whatever you’ve done, I’ll understand, my dear.”
Birch met The Count’s eyes. A conversation from lifetimes ago replayed in his mind—a moment of vulnerability in a castle, a home vastly different from this one, where he had spilled secrets as easily as he spilled blood. There was a world’s worth of agony in The Count’s stare, a burden only understood by someone who truly cared.

The sun was setting over the valley.

Summary
“Are they like you?” Ford asked, unsure of the answer he was waiting for. “Those kids.”
Stan let out an exasperated laugh. “I’d fucking hope not. I wouldn't want that fate on my worst enemy, especially not these kids.” His hands tightened around the bars of the rail. “They're better. They're everything you all wished I was. Well, except my youngest. Kid’s a little shit, you know how I was.”
Ford hadn't had the chance to read the name plastered on the boat. No longer did Stan name it what he thought he would. The Worthwhile. “These kids,” Stan continued, seeming to give no heed to Ford’s realization. “After that happened, it's like I put on glasses. Except I couldn't figure out whether everything was blurry or clear. Now?” They heard the distant laughter of Stan's family on the boat, surely a future memory they'll look back on fondly.
“I think I’m finally seeing things clearly for once.”

Summary
Have you ever looked at an old man in a cartoon show targeted for kids and wondered “Hm… I wonder how many times this guy (who only has 5 fingers {LAME!!}) almost died?”
Well, WONDER NO MORE!!! Here in [Dumb Ways To (Almost) Die] you will find most of Grunkle Stan’s NDEs!! But what is an ‘NDE’ you may ask- why, it’s short for [Near Death Expirience(s)] Of course!!This fanfiction is centred over what would happen if the elder twins weren’t such little ***** and actually ******* held hands!! WOW!! Crazy! It is also based on the fandom’s dire need to see this old man in pain! Constantly! And needing to see this old man’s brother see his brother in pain! For guilt! It’s yummy!!
As the setting is the [Bill-Cipher Zodiac] the characters involved in this series (written by various writers in the fandom) may consist of: Shooting Star, Pine Tree, ?, Ice Ice Babyy and other characters only very specific people care about!“I'm a very relentless individual and have a lot more insanity coming”

Summary
"I'm tired of feeling so angry, all the time, I mean, sometimes it feels like it'll never go away. Like that's all there is now, is just anger, and I'm not even scared anymore, which scares me a little, but I guess I know how you feel because I want to throw myself at something until it hurts-" He hears the slight intake of breath that Steve takes when he says that.
"Dustin-"
"And I'm sorry," his voice breaks, just slightly on that word, sorry, with how loaded it is.
OR
Dustin realizes with certainty, at the end of the world, that if Steve dies, it'll still be his fault, because no matter how much he pushes Steve away, it'll never be far enough to protect him.

Summary
"Yeah, Harrington," he heard Hopper say. "Anytime. It's not easy to be a bruiser in this fight."
I'm not a bruiser, Steve thought to himself. I'm a goddamn kamikaze.
He rattled out some mindless reply, one that not even he was able to repeat. Then he slowly loaded the rest of the boxes into his Beamer and drove down to the high school, tailing behind Hopper. When they lulled to a pause at a stop sign, Steve pressed his forehead to the steering wheel, took a breath, and fought back the urge to drive his car off the quarry cliff.
He didn't know when the switch had happened. When I'd be willing to die for them turned into I'm going to die for them turned into I need to die for them. Once it had happened, however it had come to be, he hadn't been able to shake the pledge. It'd been cemented into his mind. He supposed that was why they called suicide a commitment.
or, unable to lose anyone else, Steve writes a list, ranking his friends by how quickly he'd sacrifice himself for them. 5 times someone finds the list but doesn't realize what it is + 1 time they understand it perfectly.

Summary
Ford stops in the living room, and by now the concern is spiking a little higher.
It’s like Stan has just vanished, like the moment he was out of sight he was just gone. It’s been over an hour since-
Ford sucks in a sharp breath.
The elevator.
