Summary
He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.
Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.
Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.
She turns the keys.
"Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"
"Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.
-------------------
After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.

Summary
Everything was okay.
It was perfectly fine. Nothing was wrong. There was no reason to be so irrational. He just needed to get a grip, that's all. These dreams, they didn't mean anything. Neither did the numbers on his wrist, or the fact that he couldn't remember anything before he was twelve. His parents were his parents, his life was completely ordinary. It was all in his head.
He was fine.
What he couldn't explain, he just ignored. It was nothing. It was just him being stupid. The pull to these... monsters. The way he felt this overwhelming need to be in their presence. That was all bullshit.
Or that when he first saw them, when they opened up their jaws, showing their teeth.
That he could understand every word they said.
It was all bullshit.
Or
Steve has powers but never realises it, until he finally does. No one notices how not-normal his situation really is, until they finally do.

Under temporary hiatus! Will be continued when I find my missing muse.

Summary
"You just turned fourteen a few weeks ago, right?” Jason whistled. “And I thought I died young.”
Tim shook his head. Took a step back.
No. Nope. No way.
This was not happening.
Or: After Tim dies, his soul remains stuck as a ghost at the Manor. Forced to watch Dick and Bruce grieve him and unable to do anything, the only thing making the afterlife bearable is Jason. Until the day his ghost departs.
Tim assumes that Jason has passed on. But then the Red Hood breaks into the Cave. And for the first time, someone can see Tim.
Note: This fic is an emotional rollercoaster, and if you would like to see if you are tall enough to ride this ride, you can check the a/n at the beginning of ch 1!!
Also, this is technically a sequel to the first fic in this series, but you only need to read the one-shot if you want to experience the night Tim dies. You can 100% start here!!

This Is How For Now We Touch by coloursflyaway

Summary
“I got us something”, Charles answers and pulls a box from the bag he’s been carrying, black and unwieldy, adorned in white scribbles. He’s holding it out like it’s something precious, which Edwin highly doubts it is, considering the look Charles gives him. “Something really really cool.”
Edwin takes a moment to look at the box, the poor quality of the cardboard and the horrible picture of teenagers that are trying to look frightened, and yes, some eye rolling will definitely be necessary here.
“Why on Earth would we need a Ouija board, Charles?”
The grin on Charles’ lips would be obnoxious if Edwin didn’t like him so much.
“To talk to ghosts, of course.”Charles gets them a Ouija board and sometimes, it's easier to talk about feelings when you don't have to say the words out-loud.

Summary
“You don’t have to know how to dance”, Charles says, and he is so close that Edwin can make out the shadows each eyelash paints onto his face. If he had a breath still, the sight would take it. “I never learnt it either. Just move with the music, and I promise that if I spin you ‘round, I won’t drop you.”
_____It doesn't take Charles forever to figure out the rest.
