    Summary

    The Hail Mary has sent off its Beetles and Eva Stratt is the first to dissect them for the data within. If anything, she’s simply glad that Ryland Grace, as odd as he may seem at first glance, is thorough. His logs, both visual and written, go over everything in pretty good detail.

    She’s also come to learn that he has a pretty bad habit of leaving the camera on when it isn’t meant to be.

    Summary

    He stared up at the person above him. No. Not person. The angel above him, lit with stunning white light, brighter than Simon had seen in years, with clean blond hair, the only spot on his entire form the blood on his hands from touching Simon.

    "Is alive!" The mechanical voice chirped the words from beyond Simon's line of sight; all he could see was the brightly lit angel standing above him.

    "Oh god," the angel whispered, "oh god oh god oh god...."

    Summary

    When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."

    or

    Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.

    Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.

    What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

    Summary

    The Upside Down isn't the only alternate universe the party has to worry about it seems. When something inexplainable happens during a game of D&D, Will is replaced by... Will? Will the Wise appears before everyone, confused on why his friends are wearing such strange garbs and what dungeon he has stumbled into. Meanwhile, Will finds himself surrounded by fantastical versions of his friends clad in armor and robes somewhere far, far from Hawkins. The party now has a new mission to figure out how to get their Wills switched back around, and Mike needs to figure out what this feeling in his chest is all about.

    Or

    If Will had a nickel every time he was transported into an alternate reality that had some similarities to his normal reality, he'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice, right?

    Summary

    Desperation sits heavy on Mike's tongue. The taste of it is metallic like blood and nails. Will looks at him, half sat up in bed with sleepily confused eyes. It was as if Mike was waking a child from a deep slumber. But as he sat on his knees, tears streaming down his face because of a dream he can only vaguely remember, he found his hand slowly moving towards Will's and gripping it tightly. The words came out of his mouth before he could stop them and when he watched Will's eyes widen at the words, Mike felt instant regret.

    "Tell me I'm good."

    Logline: When Mike wakes from another vecna-fueled nightmare, he desperately seeks comfort from Will. Will seems just as desperate to give it to him.

    Summary

    “Wait!” Bob lunges forward before Yelena can take so much as a single step, grabbing her by the wrist. “You’re not wearing a parachute!”

    Yelena's eyebrows shoot upward, highly amused. “Not wearing–? Bob, whatever gave you that idea?”

    Bob falters, mouth bobbing around soundless words, suddenly unsure. He squints at her gray sweater, as if he could make out the object out by sheer will alone. “... Are you?”

    “Yes, of course, Bob– what do you take me for? Look, see?” Yelena points to her chest, urging him to lean closer for a better look. “Right here, this spot right here, that little dark bit you see that blends with the light and the dark, that is the—”

    Her hands shoot out without warning, shoving a screaming Bob off the ledge.

    Or: Yelena helps Bob face his fear of heights, among other things.

    Summary

    “You have come to find me predictable, then,” Chaos said. They didn’t sound exactly offended—maybe calculating, or thoughtful, or their voice didn’t reflect any feeling at all, and he was merely projecting it onto them—but Zagreus felt a chill nonetheless. He imagined Poseidon wouldn’t take well to being told he was shallow and calm, or that Aphrodite would enjoy being told she was pretty but Only In A Friend Way.
    “Not, uh, exactly predictable,” said Zagreus, and was cut off as the portal finally extracted the necessary life from him and he was slurped into the abyss.

    “A gift, an incentive to gain Zagreus’s affections, for the longer you dawdle, the greater the pain will become.”

    Aphrodite gives Hypnos a ‘gift,’ which is just a fancy way of saying ‘curse.’
