  Summary

  In another world, the closed gate isn't the only thing the Russians find under Hawkins.

  In another world, they make a deal with a different kind of monster. In exchange for help with the Key, it asks for a lab.

  In another world, Mike Wheeler goes missing a little over a week before the events of season 3.

  OR

  i've been yapping too much about writing an ANTIHUMAN inspired AU and ol' sixmikes and I wanted more were-creature AUs... so we compromised to do both, together.

  Updates Wednesdays!

  Summary

  Twelve days before Christmas, a freak snowstorm would hit New York. Eight days before Mike Wheeler was set to go back to Hawkins for the holidays, he went missing.

  OR

  mike finds a shadow crystal, starts going insane, and maybe sorta becomes the roaring knight of this timeline

  OR

  it's MY au and i get to decide how shadow crystals work here

  no knowledge of deltarune is required to read this but i'd recommend playing it or at least watching a playthrough first because it's such a peak game

  [i have no idea where this came from. anyways haha isn't it funny that deltarune also has at least 3 mikes isn't that crazy
  and to those who have read the fic that inspired this i say: uh, hey, maybe things took a turning left at the crossroads route right now (imagine the "turning left at the crossroads" in bright yellow obscuring the entire rest of the sentence so you can't even read it)]

  tags may change as i add chapters, i don't wanna promise anything that's not in here yet.

  [on hiatus until probably mid-may]
