Summary
"Shit," he says. Small trembles clings to Eddie's fingers, lingering there, ever-shaking, as if the earthquake that tore through Hawkins continues on through him. "How do you do it, man?" his voice shakes.
"I slept with the nailed bat and the light in my bedroom and hallway on for months, before I was able to get through a night without reaching for a weapon at least once," he says. "When I was finally able to sleep without the bat by my bedside, I kept it in the trunk of my car. I literally couldn't go anywhere without it," he says everything in a steady voice, but his expression is haunted. "I still can't sleep with the light off, and I jump when the electricity blips and the lights flicker."Turning his head, Steve looks at Eddie and meets his eyes. A small smile quirks crookedly from his lips. "What I mean to say is, I don't."
In the days after their battle against Vecna, Eddie slowly comes to terms with everything that's happened and finds a deeper bond with Hawkins resident monster hunters than he ever expected to find. And maybe, just maybe, he can find his way back to shore.

Summary
After Vecna is dead and gone for good, Steve has trouble sleeping at night. Instead of lying in bed and waiting for the nightmares to find him again, he goes to the one place that was once a source of pain.
Or, Steve has nightmares and finds that the piano is just as good at chasing the shadows away, as music ever was in freeing their minds from Vecna himself.

Summary
She wore a red dress. It was not the frayed one she had died in. This one draped across her shoulders and down her body like a waterfall. The fabric was silky and smooth, rippling like waves of water as her chest rose and fell with her every breath.
"This place was beautiful once," Nimueh said, her voice curling softly in the air, softer yet than Merlin had ever heard it. "You would not know this, of course. It was before your time," sadness entered her voice and tinged her words heavy. "I think you would have found it quite spectacular."Two dreams (that are not dreams) Merlin has on the Isle of the Blessed and the two conversations he has with two very different people, who should be dead and on the other side of the Veil, beyond the reaches of mortal men and the words they might have to say. Impossible, yet, Merlin have always been more than a simple man and a simple warlock, and with a power such as the one of life and death, who knows what truly is and is not possible.

Summary
AU. Harry accidentally Apparates to an empty Grimmauld Place when he’s nine instead of to the top of the school roof when he escapes Dudley’s gang. The house is empty except for portraits and sometimes a speaking wooden face, and Harry has to kill his own food, and there’s something nasty in the cellars, and some of the portraits are mad. But this is still a vast improvement over the Dursleys.

Summary
Four-year-old Luna has been able to see lights her whole life- and when both of her parents die in an explosive magical accident, she decides to grab on to one of the lights and follow it.
Meanwhile, Regulus Black has never really thought of himself as the parental sort- he's hardly interacted with a child in his life, much less raised one. But when two magically inexplicable orphans show up and somehow resurrect him- well, what else was he supposed to do? Not immediately adopt them? Yeah, right.
(Features little Luna and Harry adopting each other as siblings and Regulus being in way, way over his head)
