    Summary

    Suddenly, Buck was transported back to that day eight years ago. But it was not “Whatta Man” playing this time, but instead—was that… “When Did You Get Hot” by Sabrina Carpenter?

    I could look you up and down all day…

    Oh, god. He silently curses May for introducing him to Sabrina Carpenter, making her a regular rotation on his Spotify playlist.

    When did you get hot?
    I think I would remember if you had that face...

    Or, Buck hears Sabrina Carpenter when he sees Eddie coming out of the water, dripping wet. Then, he spirals about it.

    Summary

    Rain tapped against the window when Nayuki opened his eyes. His head throbbed in time with it, every beat blurring into a dull ache that struck him right at his temples.

    His body felt…heavy, having been assaulted with the kind of exhaustion that didn’t come from lack of sleep but from…something burning low and feverish beneath his skin. The ache in his joints, the heat in his cheeks, the faint tremor in his hands—it all added up to one conclusion he couldn’t deny.

    He was sick. Somehow, despite his usual caution, he’d caught a cold.

    And Raito doesn’t know what to do about it.

    Summary

    “I want you to tell him why you're so upset," Vecna says, and Will swears he sees the curl of a smile in the scarred webbing of his face. “I want to watch you lose him.”

    (Or, Will is forced by Vecna to confess his feelings to Mike, with a slow burn aftermath. Hypothetical Season 5.)

    Summary

    A loud knock on the door almost makes Eddie jump out of his skin. Chris chuckles. “Is that him now?”

    Eddie looks towards the door, which unfortunately is not see-through. “No, we’re supposed to meet there, not here.”

    The person on the other side of the door knocks again. Eddie lets Chris get back to his gaming and tentatively goes to see who’s knocking at this time of night.

    He opens the door, and Buck immediately shuffles inside.

    “I need your help.”

    “Now really isn’t a good time,” Eddie says, but he still closes the door and follows Buck into the living room.

    “I can’t decide between blue and black,” he says. He turns around swiftly and Eddie almost walks directly into his broad chest. “Wait, why is now not a good time?”

    ***

     

    OR, Eddie is getting ready to go on his first (blind) date with a man, and he is NOT panicking. Until Buck shows up randomly asking for advice about his own blind date.

    Summary

    "You're not safe for me." - "Neither are you."

    Cold rain, shattered streets, and a universe fracturing at the edges draw Vaughn Reese toward the Ninth Doctor-reckless, haunted, and dangerously alive. Desire and danger collide in shadows and shattered corridors; every touch burns, every kiss risks everything, and love itself becomes a battlefield. Run. Resist. Or let yourself fracture in the orbit of someone you shouldn't-and can't-forget.

    Summary

    It's becoming increasingly obvious things can't go on like this.

    Milldread keeps to itself, and cares for it's own.

    The harvest this year, really, isn't anything to sing about. Someone needs to do something.

    If not her, who else?

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz cannot say no to Evan Buckley. 
    It’s pathological. The one commonality that’s remained steady and true for the past seven years. They have a routine of this by now, a sure thing that’s written itself into stone: Eddie will say no, Buck will try to convince him, blue eyes impossibly bright and suppliant, and Eddie’s no will unceremoniously turn into a yes. 
    They’ve performed the very ritual at least four times in the past two hours alone.
    Eddie, please come with me. 
    Eddie, please wear the jacket.
    Eddie, wear that good cologne. It’ll do you wonders. 
    Eddie, just give it a chance, won’t you?

    Or, Buck convinces Eddie to try blind dating. It goes as well as expected.

    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

    OR: A Will Byers-centric speculation of ST5! Based on trailers, BTS footage, and some scenes from The First Shadow.

    Summary

    "Eddie, you okay?" Chim asked as he approached.

    "Yeah, Cap," Eddie assured him.

    Chim nodded, giving him a once-over. "Buck already checked you out?"

    "Uh…" Eddie felt his cheeks burn red. Buck had checked him out, alright, in the sense that his hands had been on him, but, well… not exactly in the medical sense. "Yep, he did. All good," he lied, feeling Buck chuckle at his side.

     

    Or, a whale swallows a billionaire, Eddie jumps off a bridge, and Buck kinda loses his mind about the whole thing.

    Summary

    Ringed fingers emerged first, scratched as though with thorns. And, in the deadly half-quiet of the Upside Down, he heard some grunting, like someone was trying to work against gravity.

     

    Then black curly hair, and Dustin screamed a blood-curdling scream, and raised the shovel, getting to his knees, and then to his feet.

     

    But he locked eyes with brown ones he knew, oh very well indeed.

    Post Volume 2 S4, but the Upside Down does NOT come to Hawkins. A few months later, and the gang are all trying to live their lives as best they can. Until Eddie returns, escapes from the Upside Down...

    Escapes, or was set loose?

    Summary

    With his whole world now safely in his arms, Tim breathes easy. Somehow, she manages to ground him so easily - just with her presence. Somehow, even after a day like today, she’s able to make the world a little less bleak and scary.

    And as Lucy finally relaxes in his arms, she finds there is nothing in the world she would trade for this moment - being tucked in his warm embrace, held and loved so tenderly and gently.

    Summary

    (BEYOND THE SPIDERVERSE SPECULATION/PLOTLINE THINGY, CAUSE I GOT BORED, ENJOY!

    I can fit so many character studies in this fic >:D)

    -=-

    After unknowingly trapping himself on Earth-42 with no way home, Miles gets captured by the still-living Aaron and the Prowler - or rather, himself - of this dimension. But this time, there's a third person keeping an eye on him in the room where he's being held hostage.

    Now Miles finds himself being taken in by a group of anomalies from other dimensions, Spiders just like him who tried to break free of their canons and do things the way they thought it should go. With the threat of the Spider Society, The Spot, and now potentially the Band lurking just outside Earth-42's dimensional boundary, Miles has to make a harsh choice.

    Trust the anomalies, trapped here for the very same reason the Society is hunting him down, and settle into something vaguely resembling safety? Or keep fighting to do what he knows is right, to free himself of this new prison, and take a leap of faith once more?

    Summary

    “7-Adam-100.” It’s Miles again, but this time there’s a breathlessness to his voice that gives Lucy pause. “Need the bomb squad to our—”

    His transmission cuts out a half-second after a deafening sound peaks the mic. Fear bolts down Lucy’s spine as she and Celina glance over at each other, and a beat of aghast silence stretches through the shop before a dispatcher’s voice comes through the radio.

    “7-Adam-100, do you copy?”

    A tense few moments pass. There's no response.

    Or:
    Tim gets caught in an explosion. Lucy is terrified. S8 spec fic.
