Summary
Mike thought of shy, wide-eyed, twelve-year-old Will Byers—the way he’d looked at him that night, when everything changed. "It was a seven," he’d said, calm and straightforward. "The Demogorgon, it got me." Later, Mike, Lucas, and Dustin would learn that Will had run out to his shed that night, loaded a cartridge in Lonnie’s old gun with trembling fingers, and waited for the real Demogorgon to break through the door. Mike thought of that Will, the young Will: alone, terrified, and poised with a rifle in his hands. Waiting to be taken. Waiting for his childhood to be taken away.
He tried to reconcile that image with his Will. Fifteen-year-old Will Byers, broad-shouldered and all, sitting with him beneath the starlight with reminiscence swimming in his eyes. So much—too much—had changed.
________OR: Years ago, Will's deadbeat father taught him how to shoot a gun. Now, it's Will's turn to teach Mike.

Summary
Seventeen minutes left. In another minute he’ll need to add the dried nettles. Harry searches his desk. No nettles. The rock in his stomach grows heavier. He really doesn’t want to ask Malfoy for his, but he doesn’t want to mess up on the first day either. Harry takes a deep breath and turns to his deskmate.
“Can I use some–” Harry pauses.
Malfoy stares into his cauldron. His eyes are wet. Harry’s mouth goes dry.
“Are you…?”
Malfoy looks up at Harry like a frightened animal.
And this is how it starts.
Harry sees the split second decision being made right before Malfoy shoves him off his chair. He hits the floor hard. The whole class turns to the back of the room, mouths agape. Harry scrambles to sit upright.
“Are you mental?” Harry seethes.
Or: Harry doesn't want to think about the war and turns to fighting Malfoy to deal with it. Their agreement has unintended consequences for the Forbidden Forest.

Summary
James snorts. “I’d rather be murdered by a serial killer than have feelings for one.”
“He’s killed people?”
James doesn’t really know, to be honest. The Black family is a high-rolling crime syndicate at this point, shoddily disguised as a media conglomerate. He's not sure how much of a role Regulus plays since he’s still in university, but as soon as he graduates, he’ll take his rightful place in that den of vipers.
And one day, he will own it.
“The simplest answer is no," he sighs.
***
Nothing brings people together more viscerally than mutual hatred. Regulus Black would know.
Or the fic in which Regulus Black, after two years of estrangement from one meddlesome Sirius Black, agrees to accompany his brother and his brother’s horrible friends on a one-week vacation at a cabin in rural Norway, all in the glorious name of hatred (or is it love?).

Summary
In his grief, Merlin makes a deal with fate. He can save everyone in Camelot---right from day one. He is sent back in time, remembering everything that has happened, in the hopes of rewriting his own story.
-
He looks around, surprised and more than a little lost. No, this is definitely Camelot, despite the fact that he'd been nowhere near mere seconds ago. A voice speaks, and Merlin realizes three things at exactly the same time.
1. This is a much younger, although still very familiar, version of Camelot.
2. Uther Pendragon is alive, and is unfortunately the one talking.
3. Merlin is much shorter. That might just be the worst of the three.- Language:

Summary
“My ancestors used to hunt creatures like you.”
In which Walburga was actually a decent person, thus keeping Sirius from ever turning his back on his family and their ideals.
“There is nothing in common between the two of us. I am a human, and you are not. I am a pureblood, and you are the spawn of Muggle filth. I am a Black, and you are a nobody mutt who has dire need to learn its place in the world. So learn it, Lupin. Tell me where you belong.”
Sirius has been raised all his life to believe he is above everyone else. He bends to the will of no one, not his professors, not his friends, not even to the Dark Lord himself, and most certainly not to nameless, penniless half-breeds.
“On your knees, at my feet. That’s where. Bowing to your superiors is the only way you will ever belong.”
...Until he crosses paths with Remus Lupin, that is.

Summary
In 1965, Voldemort became Minister for Magic. In 1968, the leadership of the Order of the Phoenix was destroyed, the remnants of the terrorist organisation driven underground. By 1970, all was well in Great Britain.
The year is 1984. Sirius Black has just turned 25. He's rich, he's powerful, and most importantly--he's bored.
But all of that is about to change.
