Summary
Clawed fingers drag across the wall, leaving jagged marks in a long, lazy trail. It's strange how easy it is, for jagged claws to cut through wood and concrete and metal. There are a lot of things strange about the Upside Down, it's inhabitants most of all.
Will supposes he counts as one now. It's certainly been long enough, and he's changed enough that he fits right in.
or
Will never made it out of the Upside Down, and it's changed him into something monstrous.

"I…I need a second, I think." Johnny says, voice breaking. "…go ahead, warn them for me?"
"Of course." Shalla-Bal replies softly, and she guides her board down into Earth's atmosphere.

Summary
"Johnny."
The word is familiar, but he can't quite grasp its meaning. It is said with intent, a voice outside of his own, not that he's spoken in awhile. Who would he speak to?
"Johnny." The voice calls again, and this time he catches the worry in the tone, the relief, the fear. Why is it afraid? It's such a pretty voice, with the slightest metallic ring. It's nice to listen to, he thinks, even with the fear. He can't remember the last time he heard another voice.
"Open your eyes." The voice says. He isn't sure when he closed them, but he never is these days. The darkness and the light look a lot alike. He obeys the voice, if only because he wishes to know to whom it belongs.
Or
To be found is to be loved.

That Burning Thing (called love) by ExistentialCanadian

Summary
It was an accident. It was an accident. He was tired, he didn't know the orbiting planet around the old star was inhabited, hadn't cared enough to make sure. None of the stars he'd eaten sustained life, why would this one be any different? The one time his exhaustion overpowers his sense. The one time the black hole that used to be his gut overpowers his desire to get home as soon as possible.
He was just so tired. He didn't mean to steal their sun.
Or
Shit hits the fan.

Beholding the GDPR: How the Magnus Institute Updated Its Privacy Policy for the Twenty-First Century And Only Caused One Nervous Breakdown In The Process by shinyopals

Summary
I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.
The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...
(Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)

Fun fact: interview-based research typically has to go through ethical review, and while oral histories have generally been exempt, that is less and less the case.
Another fun fact: Tim is no longer allowed to fill out paperwork.

Summary
“It’s a preexisting condition,” Jon explains, sipping more bitter tea. “I sort of got—hm. You know Spiderman?”
Tim raises an eyebrow.
“Heard of him, yeah.”
Jon nods, studying his tea.
“It’s sort of like that,” he says. “A spider killed and ate me when I was a child, and now I can’t stay dead.”

Summary
Jon finds Gertrude's statement under the floorboards of his office. Elias tries to intervene, too late; Jon's not going to let it go.
Elias doesn't mind eliminating people who get in his way.
He's less clear on how to proceed when they show up to work the following morning.
(If there's one thing Jon excels at, after all, it's refusing to let go.)
