the lathe
“This time, do it right. This time Eddie won’t bleed out in his arms, in anyone’s arms. This time, Steve will do it right.”
-or, Steve relieves the day they try to kill Vecna over and over, and Eddie just can’t seem to stop dying. Steve finds this totally unacceptable.
probably my new favourite fanfiction ever. Written by the incredible @palmviolet

I never find out ‘til I’m head over heels
Wherein Mike believes he’s being obvious, Will doesn’t know what he believes, and the pair of them could use a lesson or two in effective communication. Somehow all of this has both nothing and everything to do with five years’ worth of school dances.
(This piece was written for the Stranger Things Big Bang)

The absolutely true story of the yiling patriarch: a manifesto in many parts
Wei Wuxian’s hand jolts, spilling a drop of wine onto the tabletop. “Love?” he croaks, then clears his throat and tries again. “Lan Zh- uh, Hanguang-jun, in love?”
“Have you not heard the story?” the other young woman asks, looking pitying. “You must, it is a truly heartrending tale of star-crossed romance and Mutual pining - go to any storyhouse in town, everyone has been requesting a reading of this book.”
“There’s a book?” Wei Wuxian says blankly.
In which the junior disciples (namely, Lan Jingyi, Ouyang Zizhen, and a reluctant Lan Sizhui) turn to RPF in an attempt to rehabilitate Wei Wuxian’s reputation so that he and Hanguang-jun can get together and get married and live happily ever after. It’s … surprisingly effective.

Keep it Steady, Eddie
Eddie Munson doesn’t mind working at the Family Video Store. It’s a nice sense of normalcy (not to mention money) and he gets to see Robin more because of it. However, between working together and sharing the same best friend, he’s also been seeing a lot more of Steve Harrington. He wants nothing more than to enjoy mindless fun with his friends now that everything with Vecna is over, but Eddie’s finding it hard to move on from what happened. Even if the strangest thing in his life right now was simply the fact he and Steve Harrington might actually be friends.
another beautifully written fanfiction by @fairyfried

I’m gonna accept this as canon now. 
How Vol 2 Should have Ended
A re-write of the st4 finale, to address the narrative issues and especially the rampant homophobia, racism, and sexism. There’s a lot here so, as the kids say, buckle up and obviously spoilers below.

sub-culture
“is he whining about Eddie being mean to him again?” Robin is leaning in the doorway, eating a leftover slice that’s probably cold by now. “You talk about him more than you talk about girls, Steve, It’s getting concerning. Anyone would think you had a crush.”
or, Steve is pretty convinced Eddie now hates him. Turns out Eddie has the opposite problem.

not so bad
Vecna is dead. It’s the summer after the party’s freshman year. Steve Harrington spends it in the Family Video Store, and Eddie Munson is spending post-graduate life bothering him. And maybe Steve isn’t as bothered as he used to be.

Evitative
In the summer before his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry is drawn to a room in Grimmauld Place. Like the Gryffindor he is, he enters the room without fear. The room is a library, and Harry is surprised to find that he’s eager to learn. 
Then he gets the bad news: he’s been accidentally expelled from Hogwarts and needs to be sorted again. Everyone is confident that he’ll go straight back to Gryffindor, but with what he’s been learning, Harry’s not so sure.

Weak Point
Dean is having a little bit of a crisis after seeing the musical at St Alphonso’s. Short of talking to Sam -- which is not gonna happen -- or Charlie -- who is currently in Oz and therefore kind of hard to get in touch with -- the high school fangirl who knows his story back to front is kind of the only other option he’s got.

Forget-Me-Not Blues
Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn't be happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t eve mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organizational duties. The more the merrier, right?
Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

Right Hand Red
Harry felt Malfoy’s breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory. 
Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy. 
Malfoy felt inevitable.

Sei Meglio di Venti Vespa
Five years after the summer Alberto Scorfano met his two best friends, he’s proud to say he’s already well-versed in how to human. Sailing a boat? Check. Handling harbour market sales? Check. Using his sea monster form to help Signora Colombo collect the best barnacles? Check. Other knowledge has eluded him, though - for example, the appropriate name for the way his heart races every time Luca calls him “caro”.
When the summer of 1968 arrives to Porto Rosso, and Giulia and Luca return from Geneva with troublesome news, Alberto wishes things would stay as they were in 1963. But as he and Luca help Giulia avoid the responsibilities her mother wants to force on her, and spend their nights stargazing together like they used to, he starts to wonder wether sometimes changes can be the start of something better.
***
Luca and Alberto eventually get together, after a LOT of mutual pining and dorkish, adorable cuteness + Giulia is the best adoptive sis ever + no unnecessary Luca/Giulia drama! Come for the Lucalberto, and stay for the Italian banter.

Angel-Mine
Cas exhaled. “When an angel’s wings are injured,” he said to his feet, “the healing process can be augmented by... grooming, I suppose, would be the most accurate word. Removal of the maimed feathers to allow growth of healthy ones. Otherwise, they’re left to fall out alone.” He tilted his head towards the nightstand. “As you see.”
Dean stared at him. “So... that’s why I can’t help?” he said slowly. “Cause I can’t, y’know... see ‘em? Or touch ‘em?”
“Yes,” Cas said, slightly too quickly, and Dean snorted.
“You’re still a shitty liar, Cas,” he informed him. “What ain’t you tellin’ me?”

In this secluded spot I respond as I wouldn’t dare elsewhere
It’s 1995, and Castiel’s high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year the he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay.
The new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel’s classes. Castiel has seen his type before -- handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.

Broadway Musical
This is the day that marked the Holy and Blessed Union of Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle. 
The merging of prominent bloodlines is always a grand occurrence, but breeding pedigree hunter families like Winchester and Harvelle is something to be rejoiced. It is also something to be meticulously planned, which thankfully the Host is very good at.
Or, the romantic comedy where Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle are destined to get married, Catsiel is given the task of playing matchmaker and fails terribly, the entire Heavenly Host becomes a sitcom audience, God warns against male pregnancy, and Jimmy Novak is incredibly unimpressed with angels in general.
