Summary
It’s a chorus of confusion. Mike does not move. No one approaches him.
And Will barely reacts. That alone, in Mike’s opinion, is damning.
Mike holds tight to his gun, index finger on the trigger, and does not look away from Will’s face, not for a second. He does not explain himself, despite Hopper and Nancy and El and Mrs. Byers closing in on them, hovering as if a bomb was going to go off.
Instead, the edge of a growl emerging, Mike speaks only to the monster: “Get out of Will now.”

Summary
Will’s voice unravels, a rolling carpet, “I don’t see a way out of this where no one gets hurt, Mike.”
Mike knows that’s true. But he presses his lips together for a long second, then releases, “you’re not getting hurt again.”
Flashes of Mike’s life back when Will went missing fly by, all of them carrying a bone-deep sadness. Mike doesn’t want to go through that to a worse degree. Mike shifts his focus up to Will, his best friend’s expression conflicted. It means Will is listening, truly listening, and Mike yanks forward the truth shouting from the back of his mind to the forefront of his tongue.
“If Vecna wants to hurt someone,” Mike says, “he can have me.”

Summary
As he tries to lift his feet, he finds he cannot. A square of light binds his feet to their current position. Inching his eyes down and ahead, he identifies a pathway of these very same bright tiles. His aching neck pain dulling in intensity, Jim’s gaze follows the pathway to the end.
A thick glass box, tall and rectangular, contains an energy shield on all sides for confinement. Jim squints to see what’s behind the wall.
Spock’s face reflects back at him, slashed with green blood on one cheek and covered in grime. Jim’s knees wobble.

Summary
Zahra studies his expression, seems to find something there, or something missing, and frowns.
“Hey, kid,” she says, a melancholy and carefulness in her tone, “have you seen the news?”
Alex’s heart seizes, then climbs up into his throat. His mind races with thoughts of Henry, Henry, Henry. “No?”
Zahra’s eyes hold no hint of humor or happiness, only pity. “Come on,” she nudges her head inside, “let’s turn on the TV.”
Pursing his lips, Alex nods dumbly and lets her in, shutting the door. Zahra steps into the sitting room, finds the remote where he left it, and switches the flat screen on.
A weight presses into Alex’s brain as he approaches the room, notes Zahra patting the cushion next to her, and plops down, taking in the CNN headline.

Summary
Johnny is falling asleep next to Daniel when his phone rings.
Leaning over the side of the bed, Johnny picks up his pair of pants where they dropped on the floor. Searching a pant leg up until he reaches the clinking metal of his belt buckle, he procures his smartphone from his pocket. As he tosses the dress pants away in favor of the device, Daniel shifts and looks over at him blearily, turning on the light.
Robby’s name flashes on the front of Johnny’s screen. He sits up in bed and answers. “Robby?”
“Dad,” the relief and breathlessness of Robby’s voice confuses Johnny, “oh, thank god. Cobra Kai is back and we were so blindsided that we couldn’t-”
“Whoa,” Johnny’s legs curl under the covers as he prepares to exit the bed, his heart pounding in his dry throat, “say that one part again.”

Summary
Originally a standalone fic, the first installment has now spawned a trilogy because I've lost control of my life! Part 1 is a season 4 era slow burn; parts 2 and 3 explore AU versions of s5 and s6, respectively, where spuffy are in an established relationship throughout.
Parts 2 and 3 are planned/mostly written! Other fics in this universe, including missing scenes, bonus content, and possibly an AU s7 (but don't hold me to it) may be to come.

Summary
Steve’s body kicks into adrenaline overload and there are a few long seconds of panic before he registers something foreign lodged against his heart. He looks down and finds a glowing blue circle in the center of his chest with a bright white triangle of light in it, and when he reaches to touch it, his hands aren’t his hands. Tan and calloused. Marred with little scars, like a mechanic or welder might have.
