I'll believe in anything (and you'll believe in anything). by thousgay
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
Will’s eyes flicked to Lucas. His eyebrows were high up on his forehead, eyes widened, and he shifted up a little straighter, like he was intrigued. Like he knew what was coming, and was bracing for it.
“And— and it’s like… shit, it’s like— kind of awful, y’know? Um. To figure out. The thing’s not awful. Well— maybe. Probably. Possibly? You guys might think so. My dad thinks so. I kind of think so? Uh. Well. Not as much. Not anymore?” His shuddering hand gestured outwards, pointing at nothing, a wide gesticulation of no substance or meaning beyond nervous habit. Mike sucked in another harsh breath. “And it’s like… this— this massive thing. Like, life-changing. It’s kind of re-contextualised my whole life, actually. Like I’ve suddenly switched D&D classes, or something.”
Or: Mike is the Party member everyone believes is gay. Mike is also the Party member that comes out first.
Or: the answer to MWTFDYDgate.

Summary
Breath catching in his throat, he spins his entire body around to stare at it, locking eyes with the darkness that should not be there.
It feels like gazing into the abyss itself.
A phrase pops into his head, something about staring into the abyss. Or was it the void...?
A neon eye opens in the centre of the black mass.
It stares back.
------------
Jax hides away in his room and thinks everything is fine. It's not.

Sleep on the Floor; Dream About Me by Clatter_pillar
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
13 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
Over the course of her life—both outside of the circus, and within it—Jax has wanted a lot of things that she thought she couldn’t have. She's lost friends over it before (in the most vague and the most terrible sort of ways), and she nearly lost everything she had with Pomni over it, too.
She’d been resigned to avoiding it all for so long because none of it was supposed to be for her. But having arrived at some new conclusions with the help of an appearance-changing adventure and an argument in the woods, she thinks that maybe it’s time to figure out the kind of life she really wants to live. She knows who she is, now, after all; surely that has to count for something?
(But this is, of course, about more than being a girl.)
(Or: A series of girls’ nights between Pomni and 'Jax'. Two where they hesitate for just a moment too long, and one where they don't.)

Today's Adventure: A Fun (And Not At All Traumatic) Walk Down Memory Lane by Introvert995
Fandoms: The Amazing Digital Circus (Web Series)
23 Feb 2026

Summary
“Alllrighty my dandy dewdrops! Since the trust exercise a few days ago was clearly ineffective-“
“You mean the one we didn’t even do?“ Zooble interrupted, exasperated.
“-I’ve decided a different team building adventure is in order!” Caine continued. “One that’s perfectly designed to help you better understand your fellow circus members!”
Pomni took a step back, not looking forward to whatever this was going to be.
Caine snapped his fingers and opened a portal. “By the end, all of your issues will be completely resolved! And we can finally move past all this interpersonal drama and get back to enjoying all of my amazing adventures! Have fun, my terrific little teacups!”
“W-wait-“ Ragatha stammered as they all tried to resist being pulled forward. “Aren’t you going to explain what we’re doing!?”
“Ah-ah! No spoiling the show!” Caine said as the force behind the portal became stronger and they all got sucked in.
Or: Jax has been avoiding Pomni since their fight, but when an adventure involving memories goes wrong, will she find a way to get through to him in time, or will his past turn out to be too much for both of them?

Spoilers ahead!After what happened in Caine's office and the console room, no one can say they're doing alright. Jax is overwhelmed and exhausted, but that won't stop him from lying.
When his mask finally falls, there should be no one helping him pick up the pieces. He knew he hadn't done anything to deserve it.Unfortunately for him, the people of the circus are pretty persistent.

Summary
“So," Pomni started, "You feel like shit?”
Jax scoffed.
“That’s an understatement.”
“Do you- um- want to talk about why?”
“Oh sure! Let’s see, it's not like I just pressed the button of eternal doom and entrapment in front of every single person in this stupid place,” he snapped.
After a beat, Jax slapped a hand to his forehead, gasping sarcastically. Despite the darkness, his pupils were already beginning to shrink in panic as tears gathered at the corners of his eyes.
“Oh wait! That’s exactly what I did!”
Pomni’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Hey, look, Caine forced you to; it’s not like anyone can blame you for-”
“No.”
His voice broke, scratchy and raw, as he tugged at his ears.
“No, he didn’t.”
✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚⋆˚࿔˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚⋆˚✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡˚⋆˚࿔˚
Under the guise of returning his bucket of keys, Pomni stops by Jax's room after the disastrous "Escape The Circus" adventure to check in on him. Jax, predictably, breaks down. Pomni, predictably, stays to put him back together again.

Summary
A day at the circus wasn't complete until Caine graced them with a computer-generated dinner. It meant that they were done with stupid adventures for the day, which meant Jax could finally relax.
Except the empty seat in front of him kept nagging at his mind. A seat that should have held a certain doll-faced know-it-all.
"Where's Ragatha?" Pomni asked.

Summary
"She felt her heart clench as Sirius whispered the word, his fractured voice too small to fill the kitchen.
He’d grown over the past two years. Logically Effie knew this, and yet all she could see in front of her was the fourteen year old she’d first met; with a thin frame and hollow eyes.
He was nothing more than a boy. A child. Too small and frail to carry the pain he’d been given."
-
For two years Euphemia heard about Sirius Black. James spent letters describing his bright grins and clever humour. His easy going personality. His inclination for trouble and tendency to light up the room. Though when she finally meets him, he is nothing like her son had described and no matter how much she tries, Sirius remains too far for her to reach

tell me, is it really love? by agustplz (shout_out_lou)

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

Summary
In the end, it doesn’t matter. None of it fucking matters. Because what’s really in control is the tension. This elusive string tied between their chests that’s always changing length. Right now it’s so short and taught and strong that Will can’t imagine resisting it. So really, it was never a matter of if he would. Just when. When will he fold? When will he let go and let himself follow Mike into the water?
He dares to glance down at his knees, where he can see Mike’s fingers peeking out from behind his calves (as if he needed that visual reminder that they’re touching), and then back up to meet Mike’s expectant gaze.
He’s going to do it. He’s such a fucking idiot.
OR
Mike & Will have a long overdue conversation on the way back to Hawkins— by, in, and around a random motel pool.

Iroh often wonders how a child raised as Zuko was- in pain and rage and cold indifference- could turn out the way he did- kind and gentle and just.
Iroh often discounts himself.
Or: how Zuko came to realize that a father’s love shouldn’t need to be earned.

“What about you, Sirius?” Peter asked, "who do you look like?"
Sirius’s breath stuttered to a halt, not at all prepared for this question to be directed at him. His leg stopped bouncing, his fingers stopped drumming, and even Remus’s calming circles on his arm stopped. Sirius felt utterly, completely frozen. James’s eyes widened slightly and Peter turned an alarming shade of scarlet; Sirius wasn’t sure whether he realized his mistake or if Remus had sent him a withering look.
“I think,” Remus spoke, breaking the silence, “that I look suspiciously like the mailman. Never confronted mum about it though.”
OR
Sirius struggles with family resemblance.

Summary
“Thank you for letting me try wine, maman. But I don’t think it’s for me.”
Walburga laughed, then. A slightly mad laugh derived more from insanity than glee. Nonetheless, she regarded Sirius with something resembling a smile before saying, “we’ll see about that.”
In hindsight, Sirius should’ve known. Should’ve known that anything offered to him by his mother was poison; hazardous and destructive and dangerous. But Sirius was a child, and if it made his mother seem so…pleasant, how could it be bad?
OR
Sirius Black has a complicated relationship with alcohol.
