Summary
“Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”
Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.
“Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.
OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

I *adore* a good Guard Dog dynamic and this delivers in spades.

Summary
It was really just his luck that a hulking monster lumbered out of the woods and directly onto his driveway. Just his luck that he threw enough parties when his parents were gone that the neighbors had long tuned out any noise that came from his yard. Just a nice cherry on top of the fucking cake that, even if anyone did hear him screaming when claws tangled in his jacket and pulled, Steve honestly wasn’t sure they’d have cared enough to bother anyway.
OR:
Months before El ripped open the gate at Hawkins Lab, the Demogorgon started ripping tears of its own. Months before it found Will Byers, it found Steve Harrington.

Absolutely killer fic and stunning Steve angst.
The way they write Steve and the horror/isolation of The Upside Down is so good.
One of the few AU fics I have read where the author has clearly thought about and *commits* to the way the change they made might effect the story overall and yet still manages to create character interactions and dynamics that are close and/or better than what we get in the OG show.
There is a part around the school attack that plays with the original story and the changes so well that I literally gasped when I realised the situation that had been set up.
One of those fics to set aside time for.
I literally would have read it all in one sitting if I hadn't pass out from lack of sleep on chapter 30. -

Summary
"Eddie doesn’t really remember the ride back to the station.
He’s vaguely aware of the three sets of eyes very deliberately not staring at him. He’s hyper-aware of one particular set that's been glued to him since before they left the scene. Since the moment he started to float away. Since before that, probably. Since they both walked in for their shift hours before."
or: a quiet evolution in touch and trust

A beautifully soft moment of intimacy and reflection.
One of those fics where nearly every line is striking in its phrasing and the feeling it gives.
Does one of my favourite thing with Eddie and blurs the line between the religious worship of his youth and the actual caring love of Buck.
Really good depiction of disassociation and the meandering connecting thoughts of that type of emotional state.

This is such a lovely little Chapyard fic.
Funny, cute, and incredibly on brand for the canon show.I feel like not enough fics take advantage of Rudyard not having a bed for a while and this one makes it the whole catalyst.
Just... just such a delight of a fic to read and very *them*.

Summary
He pictures the funeral sometimes.
He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.
He pictures swallowing them himself.
Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

Beautiful and heartbreaking.
This fic is so soft and quiet. It is grief and mourning and the experience of watching someone die and knowing that you are going to continue loving them afterwards.Truly one of those fics that is going to haunt me for years, if not my whole life.
