Summary
In 1983, Mike Wheeler jumps off the Quarry and survives.
In 1987, Mike is in the Upside Down, caught in the thrall of Vecna's torment, and he falls again, this time, without Eleven to catch him, and with his friends and family too late to save him.
Will jumps after him, wraps him in his arms, and makes peace with his death if it means he dies with the boy he loves. The Quarry, barren of water in this realm, is just rocks and dirt, and as the floor rises up to crush them, the world goes black.
They open their eyes in 1985.

Summary
Jonathan Harker wakes up the day before he is due to visit Castle Dracula with a head full of memories about what is supposed to happen next. He's not exactly happy about this, but on the other hand, it does provide a wonderful opportunity to kill the vampire before he gets anywhere near Mina.

Summary
"I think... I think they're all wrong. I think Merlin-- uh, wizard-Merlin was Arthur's advisor, sure, but... they must have been friends, too. I mean, Merlin would need to actually like Arthur to stick around a bunch of meathead knights, shitty love triangles, and deadly quests. More than just believing in the king, they’d need to be friends. So, yeah. I think they probably got on.”
--
The new year has just rolled over into 1985 and closet-Arthurian-legend-nerd Steve Harrington is already so overwhelmed by the new gaggle of children hanging off of him and wheedling him into being their personal chauffeur that he’s entirely unprepared for the chaos the new student would bring into his life.
Merlin just wants to know why this guy feels so familiar. And why his magic drew him to Hawkins, Indiana of all places.
(Post-Season 2 AU for ST, modern reincarnation style for Merlin)

Summary
“How do two grown men not have eight hundred double dollars between them?!”
“Wha—” Vash was averting Meryl’s eyes, which was frankly ridiculous considering he had sought her out for help in the first place, “Meryl! The economy is in shambles!”
The economy was decidedly not in shambles.
