Summary
"We don’t drown. We float. That’s how Muggles used to tell, isn’t it?"
-
When Regulus is five, he nearly drowns in the sea off Blackpool.
When Regulus is eleven, his brother befriends a ghost.
It’s not until Regulus is eighteen and ready to die that the Black family’s darkest secret finally unravels. It might, perhaps, change everything.
(A coming-of-age story with mind magic, star charting, pink petit-fours, two diaries, and a ghost.)

Summary
An unknown spider-mutate helps a murder-convict escape from prison. The Avengers assemble.

Instead, he needs to pull himself together enough to catch both the escaped convict and the Spider-Man, and figure out the truth behind the accusations.
Before he knows it, he is far, far more involved in this case than he ever expected to be.The convict’s name: May Parker.

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
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
This series is unrelated to the previous one, instead has an alternative meeting of Sam and Spencer when their paths cross at Stanford and the events unfold from before either of the series start to seasons 1-6 of Criminal Minds and Supernatural (though with some canon divergences both because I said so and also to try to make their timelines and the story work).
