    Summary

    Will Byers has a big heart, his mom always said. He loves and he loves and he loves. He gives it away because it’s too much to be contained inside one small human organ, too full to bursting. It’s always been this way, his whole life, giving away love; to crying girls in sandboxes, to loud boys on swing sets, to uncaring fathers who yell and break things and force him to change, only to leave anyway. By the time he realizes the love isn’t infinite, it’s too late to fight his nature, and his heart bleeds out, year by year, until he’s drained and tired and empty.

    He cries into his hand and wonders what will happen to him when he’s truly empty. Wonders if that day is rapidly approaching. Wonders if it’s already here.

    .

    a hypothetical s5. they're back in hawkins now and will's friends and family are ignoring him. meanwhile he's having dreams he can't remember and everything feels like it's falling apart

    Summary

    Inspired by the ‘time travel revenge’ manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she’s given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance.

    Summary

    In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.

    Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.
