Summary
A speculative attempt at the season 3 I'm almost entirely convinced we will never, ever see.
Based partially upon stated plans for s3 espoused by various people involved with the production of Mindhunter, and partially my own personal impulses and hopes.

The Risen and the Fallen by lapsi for Asphaloth
Fandoms: Arcane: League of Legends (Cartoon 2021)

Summary
“Who are you?” Jayce finally asks, a barely intelligible guttural grate. A scientist, he could explain this to.
Scathing amber eyes alight back on him. “I’m assistant to the Dean of the Academy. Who, it may serve you to remember, is also head of the Council—”
Jayce consciously stops listening. An assistant. He’s looking at the place where the girl had been. Taken to a hospital. Why? No pulse, no breath. Don’t need a medical doctorate to diagnose death.
He cannot miss being called dangerous, by Heimerdinger’s secretary. But he’s right, isn’t he?
After a fatality in the explosion in Jayce's apartment, Jayce doesn't defend his dreams of Hextech to the Council. Nobody understands to intervene at his moment of despair.
...at least, not in time to stop Jayce jumping.

Summary
Daniil Dankovsky, reduced to working as a pathologist, is summoned to an idiosyncratic port town to help hunt down the man suspected of a string of gruesome, ritualistic murders. Dankovsky quickly deduces that he was not selected by the Behaviorists for his medical expertise, but for his personal connection to the Ripper—and, perhaps, his outlawed thanatological studies.

Summary
Salander is lighting a cigarette as she wanders through to her kitchen in the oversized, dilapidated t-shirt. It’s a warm morning, not that she ever worries about Stockholm’s external temperature given her apartment’s incredibly expensive central heating. On the back of her neck, a vivid pattern of upright hairs spring to attention. Her body knows something she doesn’t. She turns sharply, and finds her dining room occupied.
“Hello, little cousin,” the woman sitting at her table says, in Russian accented English.

Summary
“Hello, my name’s Connor. I’m your assigned roommate,” says the cleancut man in the police academy exercise uniform, smiling up at Hank as if they were old friends.

Summary
He levels the pistol at John Silver’s head, lips in the start of a snarl.
The John he was acquainted with would have feigned indignation, raised his hands and his eyebrows and used Thomas’s pacifism to defuse the threat. Wheedled his way into a calmer state of affairs. Silver doesn’t flinch, an uncustomary flatness in his countenance as he returns the eye contact.
It falls to James to speak, which he does with as much retaliatory coldness as he can muster. “Get out of my house.”Post series work, set ~18 months after the season four finale. John is drawn to Savannah, desperate for help. James is, in turn, pulled back to the chaos of piracy.
