Summary
Her family usually stayed in Hawkins for the summer, something they always did ever since Heather was a kid, because it was easy. They’d go to the country club, or send her off to camp for a couple weeks with her friends, and as she got into her teen years, they let her run off with her friends for those two months.
This summer, though, was different; her family had been invited to a resort almost across the state by a new friend that her dad had made on a business trip a couple months ago.
And, honestly? Heather hated it.
Written as a companion piece to tallula03's beautiful artwork for the Billy Mini Reverse Bang!

Summary
It was the summer of 1963, his last summer before college, and Lan Zhan dreaded the weeks ahead of him.
Instead of spending the summer in any sort of sensible matter, studying or practicing or even traveling, Xichen had insisted that they spend it at the Jin country club, citing a need for shufu to need a few weeks off to relax. Lan Zhan privately agreed with Xichen on this, but not at his own expense. He was not looking forward to nearly a month of forced socializing, awkward dinners, and amateur entertainment.
He stared out the window, watching the scenery pass as they approached the country club, the greenery flashing by in a blur until the sprawling estate emerged, gaudy and ostentatious as ever. The buildings shone golden in the afternoon sun, the rooftops nearly blinding him. He closed his eyes. This was going to be a long summer.

Summary
The Beat Team has come up with an exciting innovation for their next FreeFest party: a dancing competition. They’ve split their crew in two groups and are rehearsing to recreate choreographies from two well known movies.
Seven weeks left before what they’re calling ‘The Beat Battle’, Marie—the leading lady of Gill’s best number—sprains her ankle.
After that, fourth year girls are convoked to an audition where Gill will pick Marie’s substitute, the chosen one who’ll be paired up with none other than Senne De Smet.
Amber, who’s super excited with that possibility, gets Zoë (even though reluctantly) to help her rehearse for the audition.
The plot twist happens when Gill finds Zoë perfect for her number. Zoë who didn’t audition, Zoë who is not interested in participating.
Once empathy enters the equation, Zoë ends up accepting the challenge.
A challenge that will require a lot of strength from her body, but especially from her heart.
