    Summary

    “I wish you had gone to juvie.”

    There was one of those automated clap-tracks on the television as another contestant got the question correct. Gallagher’s eyes were dark as the blue lights of the television screen threw weird shadows onto his face. Mickey wished, almost idly, that there was more lighting in the Milkovich household, if just so that Gallagher didn’t look so ominous. He picked up the remote and muted the TV.

    A canon-divergent story from 1x09, in which Tony Markovich suspected foul play and coerced an unwilling Mickey Milkovich into revealing the truth about Kash Karib.

    Russian translation available here.

    Summary

    November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.

    / or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

    Summary

    “Have you ever kissed a man, Ukai-kun?”

    Ukai’s eyes flare wide. Even in the orange light that drains them of color, Ittetsu can make out the adorable darkening of Ukai’s ears and track its bloom over his cheek, down the side of his neck.

    “No. I-I’m. I’ve only been with women. I only like women.”

    Ittetsu hums thoughtfully. He purses his lips. Visibly, Ukai struggles not to look at them. He holds Ittetsu’s gaze with the desperation of a man scrabbling for purchase on a cliff’s edge. Ittetsu smiles.

    “Have you ever thought about it?”

    ____________

    Or: An impulsive kiss leaves Ukai reeling with questions, and Takeda offers to help him answer them.

    Summary

    “Your majesty.” The man in horrifically opulent robes bows low, the ridiculous sleeves pooling on the floor in a puddle of silk. “We have brought you a spoil of war, captured during the battle of Kamino, a rare and exotic creature for your household.” Touya sits up a little in interest, this was rather unusual as far as presents for his father went. The doors open with a heaving groan, and Touya leans forward in open interest. He was expecting a large cage to be wheeled in, containing some fantastical creature like a small wyvern or a kirin. Instead the servants yank on heavy chains, pulling in a young man with massive crimson wings.

    “A harpy, your majesty, tamed and trained for battle by the enemy. He was captured in combat, and has spent the last six months undergoing training to become a suitable pet for the royal household. I give him to you, your majesty, to serve whichever role his highness pleases.”

    _____________________________________________________

    Hawks is captured as a war prize, and given to Prince Touya as a pet.

    Summary

    Wade scoffs, shaking his head and elbowing Peter in the side. “Sure,” he says, sarcastic. “That’s why your spidey-sense doesn’t see me.”

    Peter’s on the verge of laughing, wanting to join Wade in his amusement, but he freezes. His entire body goes still. He finds himself staring at a roof three buildings over, not even looking at anything. Two blocks away, a car alarm finally shuts off.

    “I never told you that,” Peter says, the realization startling him.

    Or: Peter's starting to realize just how much Wade knows about him.
