Summary
After the events of the Grishaverse, Jesper and Wylan are living together in Van Eck Manor. They have each other, what remains of the Crows, and enough of Wylan's father's money to last a lifetime. Everything should be alright.
But as time goes on, Jesper struggles to beat his addiction and Wylan finds himself still partly in his father's clutches. Until, that is, Nina tells Jesper about a Ravkan training program that's suited to his needs. Wylan, at first, is terrified of Jesper leaving, but maybe some time apart is what it takes for the two of them to grow on their own.

Give Me Something I Could Follow by restlessj
Fandoms: The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo

Summary
“You were ready to die to kill me”, he said. His face was impassive, but there was something in his voice that sounded like admiration.
“What do you want?” I wheezed. I could feel the tears streaming down again. The Darkling reached towards my face to wipe them away. It brought me satisfaction to see that his movements were almost as labored as mine.
“What I always want”, he said softly. “To save the Grisha. To protect Ravka. You.”_
At the end of Siege and Storm, Alina Starkov is captured at the Little Palace after she tries to kill the Darkling. She is alone among enemies, while her allies are scattered and her powers weakened by her battle with the Darkling. With her body and spirit beaten down, she finds comfort in the budding friendship with her jailer Natasha. With the newfound feelings she has to face an uncomfortable truth: there are good people fighting for the Darkling. How can she destroy him without destroying them?
This is my attempt to fix everything I disliked about Ruin and Rising, and also to give Alina some much needed female friendships (and sapphic feels).

There’s something between them.
Something that pulses, that burns, that grows every time their paths cross.
They don’t know what it is.
They don’t know why now.
They only feel it.She hates him. He can’t forget her.
And the more they fight against this bond, the more it consumes them.Because fate has a memory.
And some stories don’t know how to end. -

Summary
He adapts well to each occupation.
Something moves inside the body's stomach; it protrudes outwards, then settles back into place.It will serve perfectly.
You feel it, don't you, William?
Will doesn't respond, not with his voice. But the body beneath him heaves faintly, forcing a whimper.
Every inch of you knows. Every pulse. Every tremor. I have already claimed it.
The words are like a caress and a claw at once. Warmth snakes along his spine – Will's spine – impossibly close, like a hand resting where none should be.
Why fight to protect what is already mine?
Three months after the bridge collapse, when Hawkins begins to rebuild and things feel normal again, something starts stirring in the recesses of Will's mind.
Or, someone.

The Consort of Crown and Blood by house_of_lantis
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
07 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
When a human head of state publicly insults the ancient Vampire King, the price of peace is a political union. Shane Hollander, high school teacher and assistant hockey coach, is one of the only humans in the world with a rare bloodline. He’s given an impossible choice: become a Tribute Consort to vampire Crown Prince Ilya, or watch the human race burn.
Their union is meant to be a symbolic gesture to prevent war. Shane tells himself he can survive the vampire court's deadly politics, the centuries-old intrigue, and the weight of being a living apology for his species' mistakes.
What he doesn't expect is the way Ilya looks at him when no one else is watching.
When a secret society abducts Shane to drain and auction his rare blood to the highest bidder, the carefully constructed facade shatters. The vampire Crown Prince the world fears isn't cold at all, he's been holding something far more dangerous in check. And what Ilya is willing to destroy to reclaim his Consort will reshape the balance of power between their worlds.

Summary
Ilya knew that he was bad at being a vampire, and he liked it this way. He knew that he was cursed, that he was a monster, but not inherently evil. He didn't have to be rotten like his father as long as he held onto his principles and the knowledge that he had to stay away from humans, no matter how drawn he felt to them.
Four Lessons. Four Beliefs. A simple construct of rules. Quite easy to follow.
Or at least they had been, until Ilya met the head of the Montreal Coven, a vampire named Theriault. It had been a day like any other, an assignment to build connections with the Coven for his father's dealings. Nothing special. Until Ilya laid eyes on Theriault's thrall.
Just like this, all of Ilya's lessons and rules were blown to pieces.

Summary
“Shane Hollander. I've been looking for you for a long time.”
Shane smiled, hoping the mask would cover the blush on his cheeks. That man, the most beautiful man he had ever seen, was looking for him.
“And now you've found me.”
Ilya smiled, his fangs visible and his blue eyes with dilated pupils. “What am I going to do with you now?”
Shane trembled, the words hitting him in the stomach. “What do you want to do?”
With a whisper, Ilya replied:
“I want to bite you.”

Summary
After being saved from the Upside Down, Will has never been the same. Voices from the Dimension X, aka Abyss have always whispered to him, even in the dead of night, as if trying to get in and take control. Years have passed since he was taken by Vecna as a child. Whenever they burn the Demogorgons, he can feel it all throughout his body. Being able to see through their eyes forces him to experience everything those creatures feel—the rage, the agony—seeping into him for reasons he still doesn’t understand.
The voices grow stronger and stronger, pushing him toward the edge of insanity. Sometimes he wakes up in places he doesn’t remember going to, with no recollection of how he got there.

Summary
"They called you Zombie Boy after I took you," Henry murmured, "didn't they? You came back from the dead, and left something in the dark, in the grave dirt. Something that made you healthy."
Slowly, Will's outstretched hand cupped Mike's jaw. Henry made Will hold him lightly, hardly grazing the skin. He stretched one of Will's fingers out to trace his nail through Mike's face, and though Will had imagined holding Mike an endless amount of times, none of them had gone like this. He'd never wanted to hold Mike like this.
"Let him go," said Will, voice thick with emotion. "You can take what you want from me, you don't need him—"
"But you do," said Henry. "You need him."
When Henry starts to visit Will in his dreams, Mike starts getting inexplicable injuries. The stranger Mike acts— the more time he spends with Will, the more Will catches him staring, the more Mike dismisses the bruises and cuts scattered across his skin— the more Will starts to wonder whether Henry is right about him.
Maybe Henry did give Will a disease, back in the Upside Down. Maybe, as he dreams, Will passes that disease on to Mike, too.

Summary
Will cupped Mike's jaw and bridged the distance between them, gently rubbing his face against Mike's forehead, careful to avoid the wound. His heart beat painfully with the action, at once feeling undeserving but also like this was his only chance.
I love you, he didn't say.
Will Byers has always been good at hiding. His trauma. His fears. His heart.
But when Vecna uses him to hurt Mike, he realizes the truth: he's not a weapon. He's a liability. So he'll finish this alone, even if it kills him.
Mike Wheeler has always been bad at saying what he means. But with Will missing and something inside him fracturing in a way he doesn't understand, he's running out of time to figure it out.
Psychological/body horror. Mutual pining. A love confession earned in blood and broken bones.Or: Will runs to the Upside Down alone to take on Vecna. Mike follows.

The Shepherd’s Lamb by riddlsm
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016), Stranger Things: The First Shadow - Trefry
18 May 2026

Summary
Michael Wheeler is a prisoner of war and also of his own mind. Once the strategist and heart of the Party, he watched the world collapse when Vecna won, his friends slaughtered one by one. In the aftermath, Hawkins fell under the shadow of the Upside Down, ruled by a new order of the Flayed and those who serve them. Mike was thrown into isolation and forgotten until his captors discovered that the prisoner's memory had been deliberately scrambled, locked away behind psychic walls of his own making.
Now the question is: what was so dangerous that his mind chose to bury it? Perhaps the forgotten memories hold the trigger for one final offensive: a secret the Resistance died to protect.
To crack him open, Mike is placed under the command of the Shepherd—Vecna's most feared enforcer, a psychic interrogator whose connection to Mike's past makes him uniquely suited for the work. Imprisoned in a sterile compound beneath the earth, Mike struggles to protect what his mind has hidden and preserve what remains of himself. But the torment is only beginning, for both his prison and his captor harbor secrets of their own.

Summary
Some call love a curse, some call love a thief
He offered Will the universe, the things he longed for. Truth. Clarity. Relief. If only he would just listen.
After Vecna’s return, Will begins to hear a voice that sounds like his own. It tells him the things he already believes: that he is a burden, that love is conditional, that care is given only when it's earned.
And slowly, Will lets it become the strongest voice in his head.
I’ll taste the devil’s tears / drink from his soul, but I'll never give up you.
[Set post-S5E4 “Sorcerer”]
