Summary
"Viktor thought he knew the comprehensive list of all his nonworking parts: the leg, of course, but also the childhood rickets, his lungs, his spine, the calcium deficiency that left his teeth stained slightly more yellow than topsiders’, whatever made him… bendier than the average person, and not always in a good way.
Evidently, topside is intent on adding more to that list.
It does not matter. When he is the only one in the lecture hall who can answer the professor’s question - a leading one that she said they will know by the end of the semester - as a self-taught trencher, he relaxes. He even smiles.
There is only the work."
AKA
Snapshots of Viktor's time at the Academy. There are quite a few necessary adjustments he must make.
AKA
The Academy-era Viktor fic I wanted to see in the world.

Summary
So, Viktor sleeps only three hours through no fault of his own. But if he had slept more, he would have arrived at the lab earlier. Or he would have seen the sliver of light underneath the door. Or he would have heard the footsteps inside.
Decidedly not human footsteps.
But because Viktor failed to sleep properly last night, he arrives at the lab later than usual, later than Jayce, and does not notice these things.
Hence his surprise when he opens the door to see Jayce playing with a dog.
OR
There is a dog in the lab. Viktor and Jayce have a conversation about keeping it. What they don't say to each other is probably more important.

Summary
It’s longer than it’s ever been, mostly evened out from the last crooked bowl cut she got from Before - the last one she’d ever get, which, hey, she can’t fuck those up anymore, one less thing, whoop dee doo - and it falls into her face ever time she hunches over something with her tools.
When her hair flops into her face again, she screams. She shoves everything off her bench and hunts viciously for a pair of scissors.
OR
The Jinx hair evolution/symbolism fic I wanted to see in the world.

Summary
This establishment really wasn’t Tenna’s scene. Maybe it was a symptom of age, maybe it was a side effect of having a developed prefrontal cortex, but a dark lounge/bar/club/den of degeneracy-type thing with perpetually dim lights and suspiciously sticky seats just didn’t whet his pallet anymore. The thrum of the music pounded his own thoughts out of his head, a rigid tightness settling above his brow bone that would definitely become a tension headache later. That’s what money sounds like: shitty music, cocktail shakers, and desperate people.
-
Tenna is the host of a dying gameshow. Spamton is a consultant hoping to strike it big. They meet to talk business. -

Summary
Jonathan Byers does not like Robin Buckley and he especially does not like Eddie Munson.
After things with Vecna have settled down, Jonathan can't help but notice the way that Steve's new friends never seem to leave him alone, taking up all of his attention, and he can't help but feel that it's unfair. Steve has been involved in all of this since the first incident, he's be through this four times - just like Jonathan and Nancy. It doesn't make sense that just one or two encounters with the horrors that dwell in Hawkins would create that strong of a bond when he and Steve have barely spoken in the past year. It's as if at some point during Jonathan's time in California, Steve decided to replace him and Nancy with two, frankly quite loud and annoying newbies who, as far as Jonathan is concerned, have barely even scratched the surface of understanding just how cursed this place is. It's just not fair.

Summary
Out of My League by Fitz and The Tantrums
Starlight by Muse
Ok Pal by M83Spamton G. Spamton never set out to be a star—he just wanted to keep the lights on. Tenna, on the other hand, was born for the screen: larger than life, loud as neon, dazzling in every sense. Together they built Mr. Ant Tenna’s T.V. Time!! from the ground up—two nobodies chasing an impossible dream in the heart of Cyber City.
What began as a partnership built on caffeine, late nights, and shared ambition slowly becomes something else entirely: a story about devotion, timing, and what it means to be seen.
OR; Spamton is secretly in love with his best friend of ten years.

Summary
It was a foregone conclusion that Tenna was stronger than Spamton. It was obvious in everything about him. In his stature, towering so high that Spamton barely reached above the knee of his resting height. In his status as the ruler of his Dark World, where Spamton was just a regular Addison in his. It followed, then, that their magic followed the same rule. Spamton was weak, even by Addison standards, but it wouldn’t have mattered. Tenna was the ruler of an entire Dark World. Reality itself bent to his whims here. Spamton’s magic was a fading candle in the face of Tenna’s bonfire, fighting to stay lit. So weak that his attacks hardly felt like attacks at all.
OR: In the Big Shot Era, Tenna realizes the full force of his and Spamton's power differential. In the present day, Spamton demonstrates just how much he's changed since then.
