    Summary

    Without a little agony, none of us would bother to learn a thing. Character is not made of sunshine and roses. Like steel, it is forged in fire, between the hammer and the anvil.

    Or, in one of the infinite possible alternative versions of the same world, everyone's story looks a little different as a result of several characters' paths colliding in a small but strange town like Hawkins.

    Or, Steve Harrington discovers he's not, in fact, bullshit. Nancy Wheeler decides what kind of woman she'd like to be. Jonathan Byers realizes he's more than the sum of his responsibilities as an elder sibling. Jim Hopper gets more out of the parenthood experience than he'd ever expected and Joyce finds peace within chaos. The Party learns the passage into adulthood may be more troublesome than end-of-world-level threats. Billy Hargrove crosses paths with a harbinger ready to judge him for his sins, and in the process, he must face his abyss before there's any hope for his redemption. Elizabeth Stirling learns that a soldier needs to look back to remember what they're moving forward for.

    And they'll all understand that there's always a bigger threat to worry about.

    Summary

    Matsuno Kamo was born blessed: a powerful name, a distinguished technique, and an extra life's worth of memory. Too bad she's a lesbian arranged to marry a boy, has literally no friends, and the world is about to end. Well, at least she'll always have Mobile Suit Gundam.

    An SI/OC fic with an emphasis on action, some politics, and giant robots.

    Summary

    It's not a power he wants, to be so skilled a magician that he can bring anything into the world, take anything out of it.

     

    Or, a six-thousand-word 6x15 post-ep based on the quarter-second in which Jane double-checks that he still has all his fingers. Jisbon friendship, pretty much, but you could squint at it a bit.
