I think there's something to be said for fanfiction that loves canon in a way that’s rude. Like thank you for this wonderful thematic tragedy made out of this character’s entire arc ending in death, it was emotionally and intellectually moving, but also fuck you fuck you fuck you they live, this time and every time they live, they never died, their flaws are not their undoing, actually they have no flaws, actually they save everyone, actually who cares about a story, any story, where this one dies, actually i cared about that story so much i made a new one, actually i cared so much i unmade the old one, you gave me morals and i left them for the mortal, but they’re mine now and i will never let them die, actually thank you, actually fuck you, strongly worded letter to follow
A kiss for canon and spit in its face all at once, it’s great

Eddie falls in love with Steve in broad daylight. The middle of the day, sun high in the sky, heat radiating from the sidewalk kind of broad daylight. And it hits him like a truck. His heart thuds painfully in his chest. His hands are so sweaty that even the way he continuously rubs them down the front of his shirt doesn’t dry them. His mouth is desert dry and the 44oz soda he just had to buy at the gas station isn’t helping at all.
And Steve. Steve is blinding. Brighter than the sun. Tan and freckled. God does Eddie love his freckles. There isn’t a thing he doesn’t love about Steve.
“Are you listening to me, Munson?”
Steve smiles at him and it shatters his heart. What has he done to deserve Steve Harrington’s smiles because he’ll keep doing it. He has to keep earning them.
Robin’s waiting in the car and Steve’s arms are full with drinks and snacks for their day at the lake with the kids so he’s gotta make this quick. They’ve shared a few kisses before. Usually late at night when it’s just the two of them in Eddie’s trailer. Nothing like this though.
Eddie leans forward and presses his lips to Steve’s just as Robin lays on the horn.
“It’s about damn time! Pick up your jaw and get in the car, dingus. I want to get to the lake before noon,” she yells from her seat on the passenger side of Steve’s Beemer.
Eddie leaves him standing there. Gawking. Flushed. Looking more perfect than he did before Eddie kissed him. He slides into the backseat, accepting the fist bump Robin offers him.
His sunshine. ☀️

Meg's (unnamed) Post Canon AU: What Happened To The Bosses?
As fits my personal Post Canon AU, everybody lived. Yes, even the ones who exploded on camera. They did all end up hospitalized: Some in rougher physical condition than others.
Figuring out legal repercussions is making my brain melt, partly because we don't know ANYTHING about Vandelay Island's legal system. (And the fact we have carte blanche when it comes to world building based on the Game Maker's Notebook interview.) My first thought was that there'd be a trial, but after some brief research I'm shelving that.
What I am confident about is taking a rehabilitation approach with the bosses. (I don't have any interest in writing a prison fic, and this is personally more enjoyable for me.)
Once the old bosses recovered from their injuries, they agreed to an arrangement consisting of electronic monitoring, community service, and fines. Another element to this is that the bosses are prohibited from communicating with each other.
Roxanne keeps the old bosses employed at Vandelay Technologies. (Albeit in lower ranked positions.) This stems less from altruism and more from pragmatism because the company needs all the help it can get to rebuild.
With that established, character specific details are listed below. 👇
Rekka ⚡: Production Supervisor. Does physical tasks and event organizing. Required to take anger management classes. She let Chai keep her belt because he earned it. Overall, Rekka is handling things like a BOSS.
Zanzo 🍍: Associate Engineer under Macaron's watchful eye. For the first few months, Zanzo attempted to be a good worker in hopes of regaining some of his Creative Freedom. His community service is web and graphic design for local small businesses, but it doesn't scratch the same itch as building a robot. Bribed a TEC-78 to install a temporal displacement device on the arcade machine so Chai could receive his gift basket. Had to pay his parking tickets and enroll in a financial management course. Zanzo... struggles for a while.
Mimosa 🍹: Social Media Account Manager. She was assigned to the Vandelay Island Community Theater for her service, and became an assistant acting coach at a community theater. (I referenced this in my post about Violet, my self insert OC. But not with this much detail). Mimosa flies no more- the explosion totaled her wings. Despite some bumps along the way, she is doing okay.
Roquefort 🐺: Senior Accountant. Provides financial counseling for Vandelay staff (besides Zanzo) + organizing fundraising events as community service. Also required to take anger management classes. Inhibitor installed to prevent him wolfing out. (Which can't POSSIBLY be overridden 😉) You think Roquefort has a contingency plan?
Kale ☕: For humor, Kale's new job is making coffee in the Café because the machine is STILL broken. (Who knows, he might even enjoy it sometimes.) He got more say with community service, as he volunteers at a pet clinic. (OC & Canon specific - As they serve on different days, Kale and Violet haven't crossed paths. YET.) Frustrated that his SPECTRA AI backup plan fell through. He doesn't have a plan C… as far as anyone knows.
Not everyone on Vandelay Island is content with this outcome. Certain characters believe the punishment dealt isn't harsh enough for the crime. Some may be plotting vengeance from the shadows… 😱

Monday Mini-Snip
A sneak peek of the next chapter for Long Lost and Left Wanting, some James POV for ya <3
James aches. 
Aches from limbs that fail to respond, feel turned to stone and alien. Aches from a body that no longer feels like his, a face in the mirror he doesn’t recognize.
Aches for the feeling of being young and happy and in control, the soaring strength in the connection of his foot to the ball as he kicks it clean across the pitch.
Of knowing exactly where he belongs.
Now, his body fights against his every movement.
Now, he can’t quite bridge the gap created by his thoughtless words, Sirius still a constant presence, joking and encouraging all at once, but closed off, tucked away, protecting himself. A man James no longer knows. 
And his son, his boy, is nothing more than a stranger. Harry carries James’ face, James desperately searching for more to recognize in the supposed reflection, but finds nothing but uncertainty, and quiet.
They were supposed to be his. And now… James aches, aches for the grief of something he hasn’t really lost in the first place.

Paths of Light and Darkness Converge by ataratah

Paths of Light and Darkness Converge
by ataratah
E, 30k, wangxian
Summary: Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian died before the Sunshot Campaign even began.
Everyone knows that the Yiling Patriarch is a huli jing, a trickster fox spirit, that practices demonic cultivation for nefarious purposes.
Everyone knows that there’s no way a righteous sect, let alone the hidebound Lan sect, would accept the Yiling Patriarch into their clan.
...Everyone is wrong.
Or, when the notorious Yiling Patriarch marries Hanguang Jun to save the Wens, nothing in the cultivation world will ever be the same again.
My comments: This story starts out with an image I desperately want to see in full color: wen ning and fox-masked wei wuxian hurling radishes at their enemies (jins) in the burial mounds.
Things get better for him, though, and he winds up committing to a political marriage to lan wangji, who is supposed to quell his nefarious huli jin/demonic cultivator tendencies. Wwx is under the impression that no one knows who the yiling patriarch is under his mask. Wwx is not entirely correct.
The lans are dragon spirits and usually have their dragon horns out. Wwx is a prankster and a tease and often lwj's horns and tail pop out even when he's not trying. The double penis comes out on purpose, though. ;)
fox wei wuxian, dragon lan wangji, marriage of convenience, political marriage, marriage to save the Wen Remnants, secret identity, dragons have a double penis, huli jing wei wuxian, dual cultivation, self-worth issues, genderfluid wei wuxian, fox ears and tail, dragon horns and tail, smut, lan qiren is good, lan qiren sees who is at the burial mounds and realizes that the jins are lying, protective lan qiren, protective lan wangji, creature au, fluff, domestic, identity reveal, animal transformation, crack treated seriously, angst, everyone lives/nobody dies, foxxian, dragonji, supportive lan qiren, happy ending,  @ataratah​
(Please REBLOG as a signal boost for this hard-working author if you like – or think others might like – this story.)

Let me have unhinged Steve Harrington
Let me have this man- this child
(cuz that’s what they all are, right?
Just children doin a job that they were never supposed to be have to begin with)-
Filled with an all consuming rage cuz everything is just too much
Too much grief,
Too much pain-
…too much failure.
So let me have a quiet Steve Harrington, one shaped by war.
Ever observing to those that he loves because he can’t (he just can’t) lose anymore.
A weapon always within reach just in case.
A walkman n radio for hun to help.
So let me have a grief stricken Steve Harrington, with sharp edges shaped by heartbreak.
Because he’s lost in what could’ve been n what if,
Because he wasn’t strong enough,
He wasn’t fast enough-
Wasn’t good enough for them.
So what was he worth?
So let me have this shell of a child-
Fighting one last battle against these monsters that have taken everything from his family,
Bloodthirsty and without mercy
To bring them back, to make them whole again.
So let me have this child-
N let him feel
N let him be loved.
————————————————————
N then everyone lives, get some therapy, n have their happily ever after cuz dammit they deserve it.
(if this is bad I’m sorry I just want this boy to let it out while killing some monsters n protecting his people)

Eddie being a softboi and craving constant physical touch is a favorite of mine.
Imagine it. Steve Harrington isn’t really a cuddly kind of guy. His parents didn’t show him how to be. Nancy isn’t warm and fuzzy. Robin’s touchy by not in the soft and gentle way. The kids are at that age where it’s embarrassing to always be hanging off each other. So he just assumes he’s not into that kind of physical contact.
Along comes Eddie Munson. He loves long hugs. Like, LOVES them. So much so that he’s constantly grabbing Steve up and just squeezing him around his middle. The first few times it happens Steve keeps his arms down at his sides, not really sure what Eddie’s trying to get from him.
“You gotta hug me back, man.”
Steve learns to love touch through Eddie. He starts initiating his own big hugs, pulling Eddie in by the waist and laying his head on his shoulder. The hugs get longer and longer until they morph into something else entirely. Eddie and Steve never separate. If they’re together, they’re touching. Holding hands. In each other’s personal space. Cuddling on the couch in the trailer or in Steve’s bed.
To Steve, it feels like he falls for Eddie so goddamn fast. They’re on the couch in the trailer when he tells him. Steve’s stretched out with Eddie on top of him. Eddie’s head is on his chest and Steve can’t resist running his fingers through those beautiful curls. He hears Wayne puttering around in the kitchen, but he’s too comfortable turn his head and see what he’s up to.
“I think you’re my boyfriend,” he says it so low that he thinks Eddie doesn’t here him.
Wayne snorts and Eddie pulls himself up a bit to look down at Steve’s face.
“You asking me out, Stevie?”
Steve shakes his head and cups Eddie’s cheek.
“I don’t think I have to. I think it’s more than that. We just know, right?”
Steve leans up just enough to touch his lips to Eddie’s.
“I love you.”
“I love you.”

day 7: jump
wooooohooooo a week of micros for @hinnymicrofic
Everybody Lives AU/Gender AU/Muggle AU [406 words]
read below or on AO3
“You have to jump, darling!” James coaxes five-year-old Hallie. She shakes her head resolutely. If she didn’t look so adorable in her floaties, he knows he’d be frustrated. They’ve been at this for the better part of a quarter-hour and he’s starting to regret not fighting more to enroll Hallie in baby swim lessons. The water barely reaches his waist 
“I’ll jump with you,” says a small voice beside his daughter. When he looks over he sees a small boy with a shock of red hair. Goggles and floaties on ready to take on the aquatic world that is the public pool. 
“Hallie, will you jump with your new friend?” James pleads. Hallie still looks unsure. 
James is ready to beg and offer an obscene amount of sweets that Lily will no doubt scold him for later when a young woman also makes her way over to the area. 
“Gid, how many times are you going to jump in?” She sounds exasperated but the smile tugging on her lips is a fond one. 
“Bea!!!” Gideon yells and he bends his knees ready to jump in but he looks over at Hallie who still looks concerned. With all the empathy and compassion a four-year-old can have, he sticks his hand out to hers and says “Together?”
Hallie grasps his hand tightly and nods without looking away from her dad. “Okay.” She says. 
They jump into the water, Hallie’s shrieks turning into shrieks of laughter as her father catches her. After that, Hallie finds she doesn’t really mind the water and continues to splash with Gideon for a while. 
As they leave the pool, James decides to introduce himself to the woman and little boy formally. 
“Hello, I’m James and this is my daughter Hallie. She can be a bit scared of new things sometimes. So I wanted to thank you and your uh..." he trails off, not wanting to offend her. But he extends his hand out for the woman to shake anyway. 
He watches Gideon and Hallie chase each other around and can’t help but picture ten years - better make twenty or thirty years in the future - he can handle that, of an older boy and girl chasing each other around. 
“Oh!” The woman exclaims, face flushing as she shakes James’. “He’s not my son. He’s my baby brother. I’m Beatrice and this is Gideon. Oldest and the youngest, you know how that goes.” She chuckles.

New Chapter of Long Lost and Left Wanting is up! Mind the CWs in the notes xx
“Do you still love him?” Lily's clothes and her hair were dripping wet. She’d hadn’t even thought of rain boots or her brolly, rushing out before she could lose her nerve. Sirius’ eyes widened in shock. “Are you alright? Did something happen?” He asked, gently. “I need to know,” she exclaimed, more than a little desperately. “Do you still love James?” Sirius stared at her for a long time. “No,” he said finally, steady, sure. She believed him. “I haven’t for a long time. Come on in, hey? I’ll make you some tea, get you some dry clothes.” So she did, embarrassed, but Sirius hushed away her apologies as he plied her with blankets and a cup of tea spiked with whiskey.  He told her a story about a boy who’d grown up knowing nothing but crushing expectations and harsh words, until another boy filled his life with sunshine, and showed him he deserved better.  That it took him a long time to recognize love comes in many different forms, and that doesn’t make the love worth any less. Something in her friendship with Sirius solidified after that, strengthened by honesty and confessions whispered in the darkness.  Lily sees now the undeniable love between Remus and Sirius, something good and pure and true, the adoration with which they look at each other. The easy touches and stolen kisses, the heat that lives in their caresses.
