Summary
The truth is, Will wouldn't know what an actual normal person does, not really. The word normal has become a thing of the past, an outdated word that's been permanently torn from his vocabulary.
Will Byers hasn't known normal for years. Not since that damn spider bit him.
And just when Will thinks he's finally figured out this whole superhero life, here comes Mike Wheeler, ready to prove him wrong.

Summary
Everyone has a secret. Including Mike Wheeler, who finds himself stuck reliving his best friend Will Byers' coming out. Why does his chest feel so tight when he thinks about it? Why couldn't he just get over himself? The party begins their climb to the Abyss and while the threat of Vecna and the evils above loom over them, so does Mike's secret.
While Will Byers grapples with his newfound powers and the responsibility of defending the party, he's still left with the guilt of letting Vecna take those kids, and the knowledge that he created those tunnels in Hawkins. And on top of that, he's trying to get over his best friend (who is definitely his Tammy. Right?) while protecting his friends and family from the demos that come for them in the endless tunnel system that is the Abyss.
Or: a finale rewrite that reimagines the Abyss, the mind flayer, and the final battle while leaving room for my favorite ship.

okay so are the curtains blue for a reason or what (this is a metaphor) by sunflower_J

Summary
Now, someone walked into the room. A boy, awkwardly standing at the side of his bed, looking over him worriedly. His hair was brown and scruffy, and he had big baby doe eyes and a yellow-and-blue horizontally-striped shirt like a cartoon character. The window was lighting him up like he was important to Mike’s narrative. The curtains are blue, thought Mike, this boy is light. I love metaphors. Maybe he was high on the pain meds. Upon seeing him, Mike felt a great affection, a great peace. Plus, he had long eyelashes. Mike almost giggled to himself. He was definitely a little high.
“Hi.” breathed Mike.
“Hi.” he said, hesitating.
“We’re friends?” Mike asked hopefully.
Or: During the Party's final battle with Vecna, Mike is gravely injured and loses his memories. He wakes up in a hospital only remembering a handful of inconsequential little things, like how much he loves a boy who seems like light.

Summary
It was a matter of minutes. Minutes that could have changed his fate, that could have averted the fast-approaching disaster that was coming straight at Mike Wheeler.
Minutes that were wasted because no one noticed his disappearance.
And so he was left alone, with something new and dangerous in his veins, a scream in his head, and only one goal: to get out of here.
─┉─ • ─┉─
Or: Mike Wheeler is dragged to the Soviet Union by the Russians, gains powers, and does everything it takes to survive. Everything.

Summary
Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.
Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.
With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

Summary
“And you cared about nothing,” Neil fills in the blanks by himself, forging the unbreakable image of Kevin and Andrew before Neil even knew them. “You wanted to be more like him.”
When Andrew doesn’t answer, Neil continues, “His left hand. He always let you take care of it, too. He trusted you like that. Kevin— Kevin never doubted your ability to be gentle.”
“He was naive,” Andrew grinds his teeth, “and stupid.”
Neil’s response is so automatic he couldn’t have taken it back if he wanted to. “And you loved him for it.”
Alternatively: Kevin's graduation confirms what they already knew — it's always easier to realize you love something after you lose it.

Summary
The ‘Vampire Killer,’ reporters had almost lovingly dubbed the culprit. It made her sick to her stomach. The media would say anything if it gave them a good story. How horrible it must be to the grieving families to see people’s interest in this ‘vampire.’
Detective Carson followed her gaze. “Looks like Nightwing is having as much trouble with this case as we are.”
Amy sent him a sharp look. “We don’t rely on criminals to solve our cases for us, Detective.”
“Right…”
[AKA: A recent string of murders has the team sent to Blüdhaven to bring the culprit to justice. The mysterious Nightwing, longtime vigilante of the Haven works to deal with his own thoughts catching up to him after the return of Batman from the time stream, and realizes he no longer wants to work in isolation like his predecessor did. And if one of the people he wants to work with is a cute redhead? Well, it's a good thing he has a type.]

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.
