Summary
Steve Harrington can talk to ghosts. Sometimes. More accurately, ghosts can talk to Steve Harrington, and this fact has already saved his life once. He's really hoping they feel up to helping him a second time around, because it seems like the Upside Down isn't done with Hawkins yet.

Summary
Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.
He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.
(Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

Summary
When Hari Potter is seven years old, the kid from Number 3 Privet Drive is caught with a secret pet snake that sends his mother into a fury. She is incensed by the abomination that he’s hidden in her home for so long, and she promptly releases the beast outside. Hari is outside pruning Aunt Petunia’s rose bushes when this occurs, sweating and half-delirious underneath the sweltering summer sun. He, understandably, thinks that he's hallucinating when a snake comes up to him and starts talking.
This young ball python has felt the call of a speaker’s magic ever since she was brought to Little Whinging. The second that she is freed, she seeks out the young speaker with magic that warms her to her bones, and she refuses to be separated from him no matter what.
She is the first serpent to claim Hari Potter as her own, but she is not the last. And a Hari Potter that is raised by snakes is a very different Hari Potter indeed.

Summary
A ten year old Erik watches as Wilhelm cries.
Their nanny telling him that it’s not fair to eat the carrots but not the broccoli is the source of his tears. To a ten year old crown prince who is being raised to carry a nation, he thinks it’s a stupid thing to be upset over.
Sometimes things are unfair, that’s why you try to make it better.
It’s what he tells himself, anyway. It makes the idea of being king just a little bit better.
But when he watches Wilhelm’s small hands clench into fists as he sniffles, trying to get his eyes to dry, Erik decides that maybe little Wille doesn’t need to be so strong.
—
Or, in which Erik has sort of known all along, but doesn't die. A story over time.
