Summary
The stranger moved his hand to his staff. "Yer not gonna bite my fingers off if I untie ya, right?"
"… Did you tie me up because you thought I was going to eat you?"
"Kinda."
Pfft, that's hilarious. "Wow, and here I thought you were cool." Rudo mocks, because an amused voice is about as close to laughing as he's ever been able to get.- or - Regto gets taken by the apostles, causing Rudo to be left all alone at 8 and eventually thrown in the pit at 10 instead of 15. This changes nothing and everything.
- or - Enjin tries to take in one kid named Zanka, not knowing the kid is a tragic orphan magnet. Now he's a single father of five.

Summary
He cut himself. On a blade. He was vulnerable now. His enhancements were fading, and he knew his brothers’ were too. The tingling sensation, the pops, the sparks, the heat, Ichiji was able to identify it all as pain. It was becoming more distinctive too, more sensitive. He doesn’t remember the tingling sensation being this unpleasant, gaining this much of a reaction out of him.
And this rope around his body, the one currently tied tighter around him than ever before, had to be some kind of emotion.
He didn’t know what he was feeling, but he was feeling.
Or, Vinsmoke siblings lose their enhancements, gain emotions, and panic. (Spoilers. Obviously.)
NOT ABANDONED! SLOW TO UPDATE! (3/13/25)

Summary
Steve Harrington was a baldfaced lie. It was a mirage that two desperate people had crafted to save a scared, little boy. It was an easy name - only a letter different from that he’d always known. Steve was designed to be boring. A droll American name, fit to blend into a crowd. It was a name for a child from a wealthy family, another boy to take over his father’s company once he grew of age. Designed to be easy to talk about in a positive light, to be the standard teenager in an ordinary town.
He played the part rather well. After all, it was better to be the spoilt rich son of an arrogant man, than to be a child with a number etched upon his wrist.aka, a rewrite of Stranger Things with Steve as a lab kid. it begins with season one, with plans to finish out the show in season five. featuring: immortality, immorality, and the terrors of Steve escaping a place that would always know to look for him.

Summary
“Eh, looks worse than it is. I think my pride got hurt more than anything.”
Hopper released a puff of air in response to that, and Steve made sure not to get too excited; he wasn’t out of the clear yet.
“Alright, well–I still think we should check you out later. Looks like you took a real beating.”
Steve’s shoulders raised and fell.
“Like I said, it looks worse than it is.” Steve was surprised he’d manage to utter such a remarkable lie. It was about as bad as it looked, he just wouldn’t admit to it.
_Post Chapter 2: Steve is concussed and Hopper refuses to let him suffer alone.

Summary
It doesn’t matter that he gets virtually no sleep, or that his grades are at an all-time low. It doesn’t matter that he jumps at absolutely everything and that he thinks he’s going crazy. And it certainly doesn’t matter that his parents are back in town. Non of that matters because life has never been better for Steve Harrington… at least that’s what he tells himself anyway.
-or-
I actually put Steve through hell.

Summary
“Uhh—You’re Zanka, right?” Enjin could've sworn that the suicidal teen he talked out of that well sounded like a guy; they talked for a decent amount of time, so he should be able to tell.
Said teen stood in front of him now, and Enjin wondered if he had it all wrong. The well that he—or she—maybe they?—hid themselves in was a dark place, so Enjin couldn't exactly get a full grasp of their appearance.
---
Or, 5 times people questioned whether Zanka was a girl or a boy, 1 time Zanka accepted that they're neither.
Fall for my androgynous Zanka propaganda woooooh
