    Summary

    They’re only scared, broken children when they’re alone, Katniss thinks. Damaged and weak and unsteady.
    Together, though...together, they are unstoppable.

    When Peeta returns to District 12, Katniss resolves to help him in the only way she knows how: by answering his real-not-real questions. Together, they play a game piecing their pasts together, but this time, maybe there can actually be two victors without any bloodshed. This time, maybe they can find their way to each other once and for all. (A Growing Back Together story because you can apparently never have too many)

    Summary

    When Nancy tells Steve about Eleven, he starts searching the woods every single day to find her. He doesn’t know if she’ll recognize him- it’s been years since he escaped the lab- but the thought that his little sister could still be out there, cold and alone and starving, hurts more than he can say.

    He finds the cabin by accident.

    OR

    How Hopper ends up adopting two super-powered kids who wind up saving the world at least once every year.

    Summary

    ”It is in my mind to go alone.”

    ”No, you–” Marcus says, cutting himself off when he hears the command in his argument even before speaking it out loud.

    ”I will leave in the morning,” Esca says. He is crouched in front of Marcus, hands idly pulling at the unkept weeds at his feet. Marcus wants to slip off the bench and lower himself to his knees, touch Esca’s cheek the way Esca had touched his on the bank of the river where he thought he would die. Tell him what Esca had told him then. Not a command, but an unshakeable truth.

    ”I would come with you,” he says instead, knowing that Esca’s mind will not be changed.

     

    Esca leaves in search of his family with a promise to return. He doesn’t. Another post-movie fic.

    Summary

    Above the motel, the streetlights bathed the parking lot in a warm yellow hue, dulling the wind's bite blowing off the prairie. This wasn't the first time Dean had ended up in the middle of buttfuck nowhere responsible for more that could be asked of him; the sign leading into town read 'A Great Place to Live' in weather-worn paint. Looking at the greasy tinted glass of the front office, Dean had a hard time believing that.

     

    Or- Going back to live with his father after spending time at Sonny's Boys' Home, Dean realizes that he and Sam need to get away from John's care. In an attempt to run away from their dad's abusive house, Dean takes Sam across the state of South Dakota to find refuge with their family friend, Bobby.

    Summary

    After a narrow escape from the Upside Down, it's hard to find your footing.

    Or: Steve Harrington deals with his terrible parents, Robin Buckley refuses to leave her best friend to fend for himself, and Eddie Munson simply will not stop lending Steve his clothes for no reason Steve can see.

    (Or: Steve cares too hard and too deeply to not have someone else care the same way about him. Everyone knows this except, apparently, for Steve.)

    Summary

    Everything was okay.

    It was perfectly fine. Nothing was wrong. There was no reason to be so irrational. He just needed to get a grip, that's all. These dreams, they didn't mean anything. Neither did the numbers on his wrist, or the fact that he couldn't remember anything before he was twelve. His parents were his parents, his life was completely ordinary. It was all in his head.

    He was fine.

    What he couldn't explain, he just ignored. It was nothing. It was just him being stupid. The pull to these... monsters. The way he felt this overwhelming need to be in their presence. That was all bullshit.

    Or that when he first saw them, when they opened up their jaws, showing their teeth.

    That he could understand every word they said.

    It was all bullshit.

    Or

    Steve has powers but never realises it, until he finally does. No one notices how not-normal his situation really is, until they finally do.

    Summary

    “Steve,” Nancy asked quietly, so quietly, “what year is it?”
    Fissures spreading. Growing. Cracking.
    Steve looked around for a moment, confusion overriding the brief panic, but Eddie could see he found no familiar comfort in his or Robin’s face before he turned back to Nancy. Oh, god, no, please. “1983.”

    or

    After Vecna, Steve gets amnesia and forgets everything before (and including) the Demogorgon bursting out of the wall at the Byers' house.

    Summary

    Every Friday Night, Eddie and Steve meet in their local McDonald's parking lot after Hellfire Club. They're just supposed to be swapping Dustin and making sure he gets dinner; yet, their conversations regularly devolve past civility. Like two Barbies have their faces smashed together, Steve and Eddie continue to collide in front of everyone's favorite all-American chain - that isn't Waffle House or Taco Bell or Wendy's or Burger King or... Yeah.

    (Based off the post I made a week ago about Steddie pre-season-4 giving divorced parent core. Insert Steve shaking his keys in the air, making Dustin come to him.)

    Summary

    “Your prints were a match for a missing persons case from ten years ago. A little boy who was kidnapped.”

    The officer pulls out a picture that she turns toward Peter. It’s a little boy around four years old, with curly brown hair. “That’s you,” she says.

    Peter shakes his head.

    “Do you remember how you got to that park? Who left you there?”

    “Lady, I don’t remember jack shit,” Peter says. “I was like four. No one remembers shit from when they were four.”

    Eddie doesn't know what happened to Steve. He doesn't know the story behind the tattoo, the silence, the reason he and his sister live with Hopper. He doesn't know.

    But he's about to.

    Summary

    Five Hargreeves ran away from his home on November 10th, 2002. He spends four months in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with only a mannequin and his siblings' dead bodies as company. When he finally returns home, he discovers it's been seventeen years since he disappeared for his family.

    His siblings are confused, disorientated, and dysfunctional as hell. Dealing with both their father's death and their lost time-traveling brother returning home, this day is proving to be exhausting.

    So, imagine what happens when Five drops the news of an apocalypse in just eight days.

    Summary

    The bats catch up to Robin, Steve, Eddie, and Nancy a mile away from the trailer park. And that should be the end of them. There's too many monsters to fight, and they're way faster than the Wheelers' sorta-stolen bikes. They're dead. It's over.

    Except Steve has a secret.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington doesn't have time to date. In fact, between working multiple part-time jobs and raising two rambunctious and poorly-behaved preteens, he doesn't have time for much of anything. And it's fine. He's fine. He's having an absolutely awesome time slinging ice cream, sorting DVDs, and dodging questions from his friends and family about his love life.

    That is, of course, until the twins come to him with a simple request: go to Parents Night and sign them up for Mr. Munson's Dungeons and Dragons club.

    ---
    Or, the one where Steve is a tired and overworked DILF who may or may not be smitten with his kids' seventh grade English teacher. Featuring: busted old Hondas, milkshakes as an intricate mating ritual, twelve year-old wingmen, and the worst flirting you've ever seen in your life.

    One moment Sam's in his bed after a college Halloween party, the next he's apparently some fourteen years in the future in an underground bunker. He's got mixed feelings about finding out he's dead here, that he's apparently saved the world, and that his very dead mother is alive now. And Dean might be gay? That's cool. Good for him.
