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?"

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
Fandoms: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

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.

Summary
“Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”
Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.
“Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

i hate accidents (except when we went from friends to this). by burgundyshirts

Summary
The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.
When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.
“Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”
Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.
---------------
Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

The One in Which a Time Loop is Fucking Exhausting. by badpancake
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Jul 2022

Summary
It’s the first time in a while that he doesn’t know what comes next. He’s dove into the water hundreds of times. Screamed as his flesh was torn apart, heard Master of Puppets in the distance and held back tears. Felt Max’s cold, small hand in his as she laid in the hospital bed. There are things that always happen, no matter how hard he tries: El doesn’t arrive in time. Eddie dies. Max is put in a coma.
Steve fails. They lose.
“Steve, how many loops have you been through?”
His head is nodding, and his eyes are watery, and Eddie has approached him like a spooked animal.
“I lost count.”
AKA: The one where Steve Harrington is stuck in a time loop, and Eddie Munson is really fucking hard to save, or: fuck Volume 2, these bitches are in love.

Summary
"—not kill him, understood?!" Obito growls in exasperation.
There's a displeased grunt and the sound of metal clicking against teeth.
"As much as I would like to agree with you, Genma," Raidō tries civilly, "we can use him for information. I just don't... I just don't understand why he's dressed in pajamas..."
There's a prolonged silence following that statement. Kakashi can practically feel their eyes burning into his skin. It isn't his fault that he ended up here, he doesn't even know how or why it happened in the first place, so if he is dressed for sleep, then the guys should cut him some slack.
Or Kakashi wakes up in a different world and he isn't sure if he likes what he finds there.
