Summary
Two fusions walk into a barn.
They talk: about what it's like to be a person that will exist forever, and what it's like to be a person who will soon cease to be. Or rather, they walk around the topic.

Summary
Something the Gems are struck by, after the rush of delight at fusing with Steven has passed, is that Steven is human. And human bodies are made of flesh. And their fusions with Steven—well. Those are also made of flesh.
For beings who have only ever been made of light? It's really, really weird.

Summary
In very brief moments, when neither Jasper or Lapis are puppetting her shell, Malachite exists. And like the inside of a mouth after dental work, she tongues at the unfamiliar topography that is being.
You don’t exist even after you exist. They name you Malachite, and you still don’t. Until you do.

Familiarity becomes a comfort; predictability, a ward against terror. No one is going home if he can help it.
A year is nothing—what's forever?

Summary
By now, it’s the last week of September. The leaves are turning. The weather’s changing. In a scant few days, the calendar will tick over into October, and the polite veil, waiting for its cue, will stretch sheer. The Realms will press its so-many faces to the divide. And death will seep through, as before.
“Are you scared?”
“Yes. No. Both, I—I made the decision already, you know? Fear doesn’t even factor into it now.”
“Couldn’t you—” Sam starts, but catches herself.
Couldn’t you change your mind? No. Not really—not without giving something else up. And Danny doesn’t really want to, besides.
There are just a few short days left before the first of October, when the veil runs thin. Danny is taking care to spend quality time with the people he loves. The people he loves are taking care to spend quality time with him. No one is talking about something, and everyone is tripping over it in their attempts to avoid.
There are just a few short days left. There is a choice that has already been made.
Something is about to end.

Summary
A tentatively three-part series centered around Danny joining a ghost band with Ember, Johnny 13, Kitty, and Shadow, wherein the band is really just convenient set-dressing for Danny's ghostly coming-of-age.
Featuring an electric core for Danny, a whole lot of emotional baggage about death, worldbuilding for the Zone and its denizens, and a happy, self-accepting future for Danny to reach—though he'll have to do a bit of struggling to get there.

Summary
Unrelated examinations of the relationship between Jack, Maddie, and Vlad, in different ways and exploring different possibilities. Current works include:
Guilt as Memory as Flower, Preserved - Maddie POV, reflecting on the years she and Jack spent with Vlad, the years spent without him, and who he is now that he's returned to their lives.
The Intangibility of Rebirth - A no-accident, (mostly) no-ghosts AU, featuring unhealthy Maddie/Vlad and the thing watching over them.
All Words for Begging - Vlad POV. An AU in which the accident transformed Vlad then and there, and the Fentons have always known he was a ghost. This tells the consequences of that, both internally and externally.
Like Pulling Teeth - Vlad POV, following his emotional baggage as he tries and fails and tries again to reconcile the hurt the Fentons dealt him. Also, surprise! They're halfas, too. Affectionately called "the worst possible halfa trio AU."
To Begin in Repossession - Vlad POV, regarding the very early years after the accident, before he understands what he has become and leading up to the solidification of his obsession.

Summary
The Battle of Starcourt has been won, but its aftershocks are still rippling. Separated from the rest of the Party, Will struggles with feelings of abandonment, while El is trying to find her place with the Byers and come to terms with the loss of her powers - and the closest thing she's ever had to a father. Back in Hawkins, life is slowly returning to normal, or at least as normal as life ever is. The Party are starting to adjust to having two of their members at a distance, though everyone's still missing El and Will, Mike most of all.
But life in Hawkins never stays normal for long. Someone - or something - is following Steve and Robin, and they may not be the only ones under surveillance. A spectre from El's past makes an unexpected - and unwanted - reappearance. And an old enemy may turn out to be much more than meets the eye.
And sometimes, the bad guys are smart, too.
Separated by miles and misunderstandings, with communications failing and their enemies somehow always one step ahead, Hawkins' strange little fellowship find themselves caught between holding on and moving forward. If they want to survive to see another November, they'll have to face the past - and each other.
