    Summary

    Steve Harrington just wanted to go for a drive the night of November 6, 1983.

    Just a drive.

    He didn't expect to stumble across Will Byers running alone in the woods, let alone an inter-dimensional flower faced monster out for blood.

    He definitely didn't expect to be dragged into something so much bigger than him that would flip his life upside down forever.

    Summary

    "Get out of the fucking way!" was that Roy? The pitch was surprisingly quiet. It felt like hours had passed since he'd hit the ground, and yet everyone was still there, most of West Ham having finally stopped their argument and started sloping off towards the changing rooms - but Roy's shout froze everyone, scrambling to move as Jamie was being manouevered towards the edge of the pitch. There was this strange, high pitched squeaky, creaking noise, like a wardrobe door hinge about to snap, and it took Jamie a few long steps to realise that it was his throat making it. That was fucking embarrassing, he hoped his dad wasn't here to see this.

    Summary

    A month after France and Frank Harkness, Slough House is floundering beneath the weight of grief none of them quite know how to deal with. Fortunately, Catherine has returned, and she’s determined to fix things — starting with River, who’s carrying a secret that’s affecting how he acts both with her and with Lamb — until she and River are kidnapped from Slough House by a group of former slow horses that have a very serious bone to pick with Jackson Lamb.

    It will be fine. Catherine knows that Lamb will come for River, and River knows that Lamb will come for Catherine, and until he does they simply have to keep the other alive long enough to be found. But what they’re not expecting is that these former slow horses don’t just want to hurt Lamb; they want to break River, and force Lamb to watch it happen.

    But the former slow horses have made a significant error of judgement. With every recording they send of River’s torture, the more determined Lamb becomes to rescue his boy, and when he finally does get River and Catherine back he is never going to let them go. It’ll be a long, difficult road to recovery, but they’ll walk it together, all three of them.

    [ or: the camcorder kidnapping fic, at last. ]

    Summary

    Shawn is missing, and suddenly everyone is acting like they've never met him.

    Everyone except Gus, that is.

    Written as a parallel to Forgotten One, but it can be read by itself.
