Summary
There's a gaping chasm splitting the town in half, swallowing it from the inside out. There are wights guarding the armory. And there's a girl who should be standing next to him lying, cursed and comatose, on the back table in the cellar of what used to be a tavern, before Henry the Usurper came to Hawkins. But somewhere far away—over the walls, through the dark and treacherous Shadowlands—stands the fabled House of Healing, and Steve's going to get Max there and bring her back home if it's the last thing he does.
He didn't count on meeting a stranger in the woods. Maybe that was his first mistake.
A high fantasy AU.

Summary
November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.
/ or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

Summary
Between slipping grades and an explosive break-up, Quentin's first year at Brakebills was coming to a miserable close—and that was before the Beast attacked. Now everyone's cancelling their summer plans to join in the fight against an existential threat, Fillory is both real and much deadlier than in the books, and it turns out Quentin sucks as much at battle magic as he does at everything else. As the war drags on, dying in battle starts to seem like the best possible outcome, the answer to all his problems: one shining moment of glory, and then he's finally free. It's a foolproof plan—until he wakes up and has to do it all over again.
(Or: An action movie about wanting to die, with time loops.)

Summary
“My heart for Miss Cracroft’s,” James explained, forcing his voice to sound certain and calm even if he was quickly feeling anything but. Crozier kept staring at him, a thunderstorm growing in his face. The furious silence reigned between them for another minute before James added, “You... eat the hearts of the… young and beautiful…”
The Wizard Crozier’s stare was hard and unbreakable. James could feel the snappings of electricity in the air around them, the hair standing up on the back of his neck. He could feel it now, the sheer power in this man.
