Summary
“Billy.” She repeated smartly. “I imagine this is a lot, to suddenly see your father in an hospital bed. It can be quite shocking.”
“You said somethin’ ‘bout an illness.” He interrupted her.
“He was diagnosed with Alzheimer five years ago.” Layla looked confused. “You didn’t know?”
Billy shook his head. “Haven’t talked to him in eight years.” He revealed to her.
Her eyes widened slightly. Looked at Billy’s expression, then at the man lying down on the hospital bed. “I feel like you had a good reason not to.” Layla added. “But at this time even specialized care won’t take him. He’s too far gone his illness and needs a familiar face around to help him settle at the bad times.” She paused, looked at him. “We are as of now discharging him into your care. You are legally obligated to take him, honey.”
He felt fear as an electrical shock from the floor up through his whole body, inside every single one of his bones. “Is he going to recognize me?”
Layla pondered. “Maybe. Maybe not. It varies. He may also recognize you in one minute and remember nothing on the other.” Was her answer. “Alzheimer is a very fickle thing.”
Billy just nodded, turning to her. “Where do I sign?”Bookmarked by Midnight_kafe

Summary
In which Billy Hargrove has people on his side. What would have happened if a few people had decided to take a closer look at Billy and see that what he needed was a little help. With lots of found family and Neil bashing.
Also the Upside Down is conveniently forgotten and never really mentioned after the first chapter. I am well aware of the gaping plot hole, and I have chosen to ignore it.
A hand landed on his window sill and Billy cursed at himself for flinching. Hopper peered down at him, giving Billy and the car a once-over, an eyebrow raising at the smell of alcohol. “You know how fast you were going son?”
Billy’s done this dance before, knows the question is hypothetical and that there’s nothing he can say to convince the cop otherwise. So he smirked, the corners of his mouth pulling at the bruise on his jaw. “Real damn fast I hope.”

Summary
Dove has belonged to Master Beren for some time now, after being given to the man as a gift and, miraculously, not thrown away again even when Beren expressed that he had no need or want for a young brothel slave. He's beginning to trust the kindness that Beren shows him, and truly believe that this house might be safer than anywhere else.
He gathers his courage to ask Beren to buy Fox--his friend and one-time protector, a fellow slave at the brothel. Beren brings a second boy into his home--a deeply suspicious, frightened boy who's absolutely certain that this apparent kindness and safety isn't going to last.

Summary
The Vicomte and Vicomtesse will be good to him so long as he entertains them. When they grow bored, or when they see him for the devil he is, they will do to him as all the others have before them. He will be lucky if they show him the mercy of simply casting him out their door.
The Living Corpse may be a beast, but he is far from mindless. He knows the human race well, and he knows he is not part of it. The worst thing a creature like him can do is fall for their tricks. It will be less painful, less humiliating if he denies them the pleasure of taking him for a fool.
After being abused and violated for as long as he can remember, Erik can’t recognise kindness even when it’s staring him straight in the face.
Or, the AU where Christine and Raoul save a man in a cage. He doesn’t want their help, but they’re either too kind or too stupid to care.
