    Summary

    Giving up isn’t a conscious decision that Steve Harrington ever thought he might make. He’s survived nineteen years of shitty parents, impossible expectations, and literal monsters, and somehow this has become the breaking point. He’s not smart, at least not in the same way that people like Dustin and Robin and Nancy are, and he’s not the one who usually figures things out, but he always manages to keep them safe.

    Now, he can’t even say that anymore.

    At least not until he wakes up on November 6th, 1983 and he realizes he has a chance to change everything... to save everyone.

    Summary

    A heartfelt story that answers the big questions: How did R die? What happened to his family? And how'd he survive being shot?! Takes place just after the dive into the pool in the movie. Mostly mild language and a little foreplay. I hope you enjoy it!

    'His double's face was flickering, changing from life, to death, to life as the waves washed over him, and R felt himself flickering, hovering in some strange state of being both, and not. "This is important. What we're about to do. Are you... ready?" he asked himself.'

    Summary

    Anakin was a Jedi once. He was also a 45-year-old Sith Lord. Now, with all of those memories crammed into his head, he's 9-years-old again and back at the Temple on Coruscant, bound and determined to change destiny. If he can, you know, stop Dooku from joining Sidious, free his mother, start a personal war against slavery, avoid Palpatine, and train to even a fraction of his previous (future?) levels, all while maintaining his cover as a 9-year-old initiate. It can get rather...overwhelming. Too bad keeping up a facade has never been one of his strong points.
