Summary
"Plant your feet!" Billy Hargrove roars and Steve feels the crunch of his fist on his cheekbone like lightning down his entire skull.
He crumbles to the floor, a haze of pain and flashing lights and punches that won't stop raining down on him.
Max, Dustin, Lucas, and Mike — they're running away.
Billy stands before him, eyes glowing blue.
This isn't how it happens, Steve thinks firmly, blood running down his throat, and tightens his grip on the syringe that materializes in his hand.
Tell me if you've heard this one before: a ragtag group of misfits is spat out on another world in a desperate bid to save their own and rescue a bunch of kids while they're at it. They run into the big bad known for slipping into your head, like a whisper, like a nightmare, and preying into your worst memories.
What happens next will shock and upset you.

Summary
It's just — every time he walks in, a skip to his step like he's still surprised he's allowed to be here — all she can see is his new key-chain jiggling against his keys, a gift he'd shown to anyone willing to look; Tanner made it himself, Abby let him give it to me for my sobriety anniversary. No, he doesn't know that's why, he's five. Isn't it great?
And it is, she'd thought — said — absently. He fought so hard to keep his relationship to his children, to his now ex-wife, even as he went through the motions of rehab and recovery and constant HR meetings and random piss tests everyone conspicuously pretended weren't happening. He'd fought so hard, of course it's great.
Or it would be, Mel thinks, ducking away with lukewarm coffee in hand, if she didn't know the image of that key-chain like the palm of her hand.
Or, rather, like the soulmark on the back of her knee.
[or: soulmateism made literal]

Summary
The common room is hushed into silence as they have their very public kiss, their very swoony kiss, with everyone noting the way Harry’s hands twist in Ginny’s hair, the way she’s on her tip-toes, dirty uniform pressed up against him, the way that this looks nothing like a first kiss going by the way they seem to know each other so deeply already —
Hey, they’re not staring. This is a public place and they’re two of their most popular peers, of course everyone is going to look.

Summary
“Don’t question yourself. You’ve got good instincts. And—”
“What?” She sounded sharper than she’d meant, if not as sharp as she felt—sharp to the point of brittleness, frozen. A cracked and jagged plate of ice he was treading on.
Soft-footed, like that made any difference. Unless it made all the difference: his smile had dropped, but his eyes met hers. “And you know about it,” he told her. “You always have.”
[Nancy and Steve, after everything. But everything, of course, is never over.]

Summary
Ginny Weasley is a confident young woman with powerful magic and two handsome best friends—the golden boy she’s known forever, and a darkly charismatic newcomer. It’s almost like one of those novels she’s seen around the Muggle bookstores…
…Or maybe not. Because everyone is the protagonist in their own story, and sometimes a love triangle looks entirely different from another angle.
Tomarry, from Ginny’s perspective: A story of trying to choose between two boys, watching them choose each other, and learning to choose yourself.

Summary
Fourteen day shifts that Mel and Frank share after he returns to work.
He instinctively looked for a braid and scrub pants, the only fit he'd ever seen her in. It took his brain a hot second to realise the woman in jeans, white sneakers, and a ponytail through her snapback was actually Mel.
At which point he walked full tilt into a wall.
