Summary
“That’s not it. I don’t take handouts. What I’m asking for is a job.”
Veruca raises an eyebrow. “A job?” she says flatly. “You want a job in my fathers company.”
“Yes. We don’t have the money to send me to college and minimum wage jobs won't cut it, so I thought,” she trails off and backs away. “Look, I need a hand. I used the last of my own money to get here and without it I’m not going anywhere.”
“You’d be stuck in England,” Veruca says, letting out a breath. Violet, though incredibly different at first glance, is still the little girl chasing after what she desires. This is her new record, though it's not a record at all. “It will be hard to convince my father. He doesn’t like it when I ask him for things.” Violet chuckles at that but quiets down once she realizes Veruca is serious. “But I’ll help you as best as I can.”
Reinvigorated, Violet straightens up. “That’s all I ask. Thanks.”
Despite herself, Veruca smiles so hard it hurts and she pats Violet’s hand, lingering a little longer than she should.
---
Years after the factory tour, Veruca and Violet reconnect when Violet needs some financial help. As they temporarily live under the same roof they begin to grow closer.

Causing Problems Makes You Famous by Dew_Dropp

Summary
Casey lets himself drift off into the crowd. He knows this rooftop and the ones around it. He remembers arguing with Mikey about comics over there, shoving Raph around near the neon sign for a 7/11, and once they’d been staking out on a rooftop three down for a while and he’d managed to beat April in uno. Which is crazy cause she’s, like, a sort of psychic. There’s a messed up bit of graffiti that he’d done on his own a few nights ago.
Leo would say that the roofs hold memories, that they’re a way to tap into the past or something, but Casey thinks all that spiritual stuff is bull. He just remembers.
---
Most of Casey's high school career so far has been spent fighting bad guys. That's great and all - really he prefers it that way - but sometimes he needs to remember what it's like to be a teenager. If he can manage to do that. (spoiler alert: he can't)
Title from the song Lights Out by Mindless Self Indulgence

Summary
He stares at Veruca for a second. She nods towards the door and waves him away but he doesn’t move. With a sigh Mike bends down to pick up the scissors. Finally his eyes stop moving but they don’t meet Veruca’s as he looks up. It’s more like he’s studying her forehead. “I could do it.” Veruca doesn’t answer. Mike doesn’t say anything else.
“Why?” she finally asks. Mike’s body seems to crumple. She wants to rest a hand on his shoulder and maybe get him back to being overconfident but he’d most definitely either slap her or yell, so she keeps her hands where they are.

Veruca Salt is proud of her hair because she's always been told to be. Veruca Salt has also just had her life turned upside down, so maybe she'd like a little less weight on her shoulders (literally).

Summary
“And what do you want?” She asks him out of the blue.
“Me?” He responds, surprised.
“Yes you silly. I said I was getting one for each of us, right?”
Charlie opens his mouth, then shuts it. She had? “I don’t- please don't, Veruca. Just buy yourself two. I don’t need one.”
“Nonsense, you’re my friend and I want to pay for yours. It’s not fair if we have all the fun and you don’t.”
“I’m having fun!” Charlie argues, raising his voice slightly to his own surprise. He’s never liked yelling.
Veruca doesn’t flinch. “Well I wouldn’t be if I were you.” She turns back towards the guy at the counter. “He’ll have-”
She’s just going to ignore him? She’s just going to- a yell slips past his lips “I don’t want anything!” Heads turn towards him, surprise echoing on each person's face. The sounds of the fair still sing on behind him but his friends stand absolutely silent. Any of their laughter has disappeared. Without it Charlie can feel the emptiness of the day sinking in and he cringes, drawing himself backwards. Why did he go at all?

Summary
It’s the perfect combination for his worst feelings. So of course he ends up thinking about Will and El. He’s always thinking about them. Somehow the two of them not being here makes them more important to Mike’s subconscious than if they were standing right in front of him.
He’s already written a letter back to El - he’d done it at the breakfast table the other morning, mind still fogged up by sleep - so his job there is done. But Will…it’s not that Mike doesn’t want to talk to Will, of course he does! They’ve talked on the phone a few times, and even though it’s quiet and awkward and so the opposite of what Mike wants, but he still calls. It’s just that the line is always busy and contrary to popular belief (Max) he can actually stop complaining and do something about his problems. He can’t call Will? Fine, he’ll write instead.
---
Or, Mike's been trying to write Will a letter. He's been failing to write Will a letter. Nancy steps in to give him some vague advice he might just listen to.

Summary
Mike keeps the plane window firmly shut and wills himself to fall asleep, rid himself of the tight plane and the infinite space outside of it. He doesn’t manage to. His dad snores the whole trip, reminiscent of the last time they were on a plane together. Again, his mom stays home. Go figure.
At least the filmmakers got them first class tickets. Flying in style is, if anything, something to focus on. He sips at his Coke and stares at his feet. He’s never been a big fan of heights. As a kid he’d refused to go on roller coasters, opted out of his class egg drop because he had no clue what his body would do up on that roof. Isn’t that ironic. Mike Teavee, the tallest boy in the world, scared of heights.
---
A few years after the factory Mike and the other winners get asked to film a expose documentary on the whole thing. He reluctantly agrees.

Summary
“Who said I was stuck out here? I might just be standing here to watch you suffer. I can’t even get cold, y’know, since I spent so long spying on the Russian government I became impervious to it.”
Momota actually laughs at that, though it’s more in exasperation than genuine amusement, and he regards Ouma with waning frustration, “That has to be a lie. You’re shaking, can’t fake something like that.”
Ouma looks down at himself as if he hadn’t realized he’d begun shivering, then rolls his eyes, “Can’t I?”
“Nah, not this well. Even you aren’t that good of a liar.” Momota moves to stand next to him leaning his back against the dry part of the wall of Ouma’s dorm.
He assumes, belatedly, that Ouma would’ve at least let himself into his room by now. So that probably means he can’t break into either of their rooms right now. Maybe he doesn’t have the stuff he needs to do it, a rare misstep since Ouma’s usually over prepared, from what Momota can tell at least.

Summary
“Alright Kel!” Aubrey shouts, “Stick it to her.”
He splashes her and grins, face aglow in the pool lights, “Stick it to all of them!”
She scowls, water droplets dripping down her face, and splashes him back, the wave of water hitting his face and making him sputter and rub his eyes. She smirks at him once he can see again and swims away, flipping him off.

Kel struggles to go back to normal after Sunny and Basil reveal the truth of Mari's death. He finds solace in anger and friends he thought he lost a long time ago, digging up more truth within himself than he expected.

Summary
“I’m thinking we go old school tonight, you remember our old handstand competitions.”
Aubrey smiles, a fuzziness filling her chest, “Of course, how could I forget.”
“Good. Let’s see if you’re rusty, Aub.” Kim gives her a shit eating grin and dunks underwater, her legs immediately popping back up. She manages to get her legs mostly straight up in the air for a second, before falling over into the water with a smack. Aubrey winces.

Taking advantage of the last days of summer, Aubrey and Kim sneak into the community pool after hours.

Summary
Dustin purses his lips, not answering for a moment. He rolls his shoulders back and tilts his head upwards towards the darkening sky. He looks older than Steve remembers. There’s an image that’s been pressed into his brain for a while now, one of Dustin the day outside of the Wheeler's house. Then he’d been wide eyed and annoyed, but also full of energy. Rambling on about Mews and Dart, wrapping Steve in his plot to make things right.
Right now, as the setting sun shines across his face, Dustin looks exhausted. There's bags under his eyes and a slight crease in his forehead. Steve likens it to his own face in the months after seeing a monster bust through the Byers' living room wall. He smothers the urge to wrap the kid in a hug.
-----
Steve and Dustin have a talk about the future over burgers.

A few hours ago he was going to escape this scarred land and make a new life somewhere that people couldn’t reach him. He was going to leave it all behind. But he can’t, he knows he can’t. He’s forever tied to this server. He used to live here, now he’ll die here. Forever a nuisance, immortalized in the soil of a place meant to torment him.

Summary
Mattholomule and Bria had the perfect friendship but Glandus isn't kind to witches that don't fight their way up. Friendships don't last when one person doesn't put in effort but sometimes the person that does can't let go. Mattholomule has to find a way to figure out where he and Bria stand while figuring out what friendship should be. He's always known his and Bria's friendship isn't perfect but when it's worse than he realized, what happens?
Or Mattholomule has a vaguely similar backstory to my life so I write it more in depth and give him a happy ending where he gets great friends and his crush likes him back.

!TW for suicidal thoughts please only read this if you are safe to!
