    His world is thrown into turmoil when he is assigned to eliminate Alexander Lightwood, the Duke of Alicante. For the first time in his life, Magnus fails. But failure comes at a high price - his own life. As the deadly consequences of his failure loom closer, Magnus discovers that the man he was supposed to kill has stolen his heart in a single night.

    Summary

    In retrospect, they should have assumed something like this could happen. James will blame himself later on, insisting he should have known that there was a chance this could be a consequence of their involvement in ending Silas’ schemes.

    (Sherlock will, of course, tell him it’s not his fault, even as he grimaces in pain while doing so.)

    It comes in the form of a package from Sherlock’s mother.

    (Or: James and Sherlock are taken by one of Silas’s former partners. Conversations are had, secrets are shared, and revelations come to light. Heavy on the whump.)

    Summary

    And, dear god, he is already in Sherlock’s mind, in his head, and try as he might, he cannot convince himself to see James as a parasite, as an infestation destined to kill him. In his lovesickness, Sherlock can’t see James as anything else than a bloody, magnificent revelation.

    Summary

    "I—" Sherlock choked, somewhere between a cough and a sob.

    "Here," his father said, sliding a glass into his hands. "Drink."

    Sherlock did as he was told. There was something bitter to it, so unlike the drinks he and his mother had prepared earlier, but then again he wasn't sure he could trust his mind. His memories.

    And if he couldn't trust those, where did that leave him?

    "You have a brilliant mind. I always said that," his father said, as if he had heard his thoughts. "But there's a cost to brilliance."

    Summary

    Seeing Sherlock's blood was nothing new. He'd certainly watched him get his arse kicked and his nose split enough to be familiar with the sight, but this was different. He'd been shot, and there was nothing James could do.

    Summary

    ‘Sherlock,’ the way James says his name sends shivers down Sherlock’s spine. He unconsciously leans closer, wanting more of his touch; a mix of contradicting feelings reflecting on his face.

    James knows that no matter how much Sherlock wants to be seen otherwise, he is deeply dependent on the people around him. Maybe that’s the reason why he didn’t make any friends before him: the fear of trusting the wrong person led him to isolation which felt far more comfortable than having his heart broken.

    The truth is, James doesn’t want to cause Sherlock any pain. He wants him back, that’s all.

    'Do you trust me?'

    Summary

    After the new year and the months since then, since his hair had grown back enough to hide the scar and he started letting them come to his house, Max watched Steve carefully, learned what to look for.

    She noticed the headaches and the migraines—the way he'd squint and clench his jaw and move a little more carefully, like sudden movements hurt. She noticed how it took him longer to answer questions sometimes. She noticed how he'd forget words mid-sentence and have to pause, frustrated, until he couldn’t even remember what he'd been trying to say.

    Everyone called him slow. And stupid. They joked about it, teased him about getting dumber, and Steve always laughed it off or agreed with them, like it was a choice and not a consequence.

    But Max could tell it bothered him; could see it in the way his smile would tighten, just for a second, before he'd shrug and change the subject.

    And it bothered her too.

    So she started running interference.

    Summary

    Edwin Payne was the best necromancer the Fifth House had ever produced. Death had touched his hands and his mouth and his eyes, had cradled his skull and marked him as its favourite son. He had plumbed depths of Fifth House history that had slumbered untouched for centuries, mining long-forgotten seams of knowledge. He had bled for it, starved for it, broken himself open and hollowed himself out. He had made a home of himself for spirit magic, his legs its foundations and his ribcage its vaulted ceiling. He had spoken with the dead, and he had walked the River.

    Which was why it was so embarrassing that he was about to be murdered in his bed by some two-bit thug.

     

    Seventy-three years after he was pushed into the River, a liminal place filled with hungry ghosts, Edwin Payne has finally succeeded in clawing his way out. All he wants is to be left alone with his research, but to his dismay, the head of his House insists he take a cavalier to protect him – and to make sure he’s behaving himself. But not everyone is happy to hear that Edwin’s back, and when an attempt on his life by the very man who pushed him into the River all those years ago almost ends in tragedy, it’s time to get even.

    Summary

    “It can wait until tomorrow, Charles, the case - ”
    “Is over, and you’ve been making that argument every day for the last month. It’s been seven, Edwin, you’re a month late, we’re doing it now.”
    “I really don’t feel that’s necessary,” Edwin said as he phased through the door, and Crystal heard the stiffness in it even before she could see his face. The face was all tight, and Charles’s was, too, as he followed Edwin through, although Charles was trying to cover it by looking confident and firm.

    (Edwin tries to avoid unpleasant-but-necessary medical care, Charles has to fill a role he does not enjoy, and Crystal may, somehow, not entirely against her will, be getting roped in as a platonic third to Charles and Edwin's totally-not-a-decades-long-marriage.)

    Summary

    He throws the car in park and removes the key before leaning forward slightly to rest his forehead on the steering wheel. The car shakes as the kids scramble out of it, slamming the doors closed behind them. Each resulting WHAM sets off fireworks behind Steve’s closed eyelids.

    He just needs a minute. One minute of silence. Then, he’ll go inside to wrangle the kids and clean up before Mrs. Byers gets back.

    A hand lands on his shoulder and he jumps, whipping his head to see who’s touching him. Pain floods over the left side of his head and down through his neck and shoulders. He presses a hand into his left eyebrow, trying to chase the pain away with the pressure.

    Dustin still sits in the passenger seat next to him. His hand tightens on his shoulder, eyes blown wide.

    “Steve, hey, you okay?”

    -

    What happens to Steve after season 2 ends?

    Summary

    There was the sudden quick scuff of boots on the ground, then Jack was slamming into his side, cutting off Mac’s words into a breathless grunt. Everything became a strange blur. There was the sound of a gunshot — the hell was Jack shooting at? — and Jack’s weight and momentum carried both of them staggering towards the low wall at the side of the bridge.

    The edge of the wall hit Mac’s thigh. He tried desperately to stop their momentum, bracing his legs and scrabbling to grab the edge of the brick, but Jack’s half-tackle was just enough to send both of them careening over.

    As Mac’s feet left solid ground, a panicked thought ran through his head. Later he’d muse that Jack had probably thought or said the exact same thing a thousand times over throughout their partnership.

    What the fuck is he doing?!

    “Fighter, this is Bard. Do you copy? Over.”

    “Fighter here. I copy. Over.”

    No names or locations or specifics here.

    “Alright, Fighter, what’s this about? Over.”

    Steve sighs. This is stupid.

    Or: the one where strange things start happening in Hawkins three years after the Upside Down was destroyed and Steve and the teens just need to make sure it isn’t all happening again.

    Spoiler alert: nothing is as it seems.

    I just couldn’t get the idea of Steve staying in Hawkins as a watcher in case shit goes down again out of my head. So here we are. Because when you get used to shit coming back again and again and again, what else are you supposed to expect?
