    Summary

    Billy didn’t expect to start spring break by nearly breaking down his neighbors door when he saw flickering lights, he also didn’t expect to find a cheerleader floating and apparently having hallucinations connected to the Upside Down.

    Chrissy didn’t expect that trying to buy drugs from Eddie Munson would wind up with her getting dragged into a world of monsters and gaining a new appreciation for Metallica.

    ————

    Season 4 but Billy has known about the Upside Down since s2 and Heather Holloway was the main Flayed, Jonathan comes to Hawkins for Spring Break and Vecna doesn’t get Chrissy in the trailer.

    Can be read as a standalone, this one won’t be Billy-centric despite him obvs still being incredibly important but all the older teens will get attention here.

    Summary

    When a custody battle needs a miracle, she marries one.

    Aileen Whitmore has spent her whole life surviving men like her father-controlling, cruel, and rich enough to get away with it. By twenty-five, she's a brilliant tech founder, a full-time parent to her thirteen-year-old sister Ingrid and very done with the idea of ever needing anyone.

    Then their grandfather decides he wants custody.

    Her lawyer has one awful, perfect solution:
    a two-parent household, stable and respectable in the public eye.
    Translation: get married. Fast.

    Fortunately, Aileen's friend Tessa - PR guru for Red Bull Racing - has the best possible candidate for a marriage of convenience.

    Unfortunately... it's Max Verstappen - four-time Formula 1 World Champion, media nightmare, and the last person who wants more PR in his life.
    But he despises bullies more... and he's not blind to the fear in Aileen's eyes or the way Ingrid clings to her.

    The deal is simple:
    a love story convincing enough to keep their family together.
    No feelings. No mess. Just safety.

    That plan is perfect.
    Right up until the point they get punched in the face by reality.

    Summary

    Formula One is a world built on speed and the illusion that everything can be controlled.

    Gin Murray understands that better than anyone. As Lando Norris’s executive assistant, she is the steady force behind one of the sport’s brightest stars — organised, composed, indispensable. Control keeps everything running smoothly. Control keeps her safe.

    Lando lives differently. He drives on instinct, trusts what he feels, and doesn’t look too far ahead.

    Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan.

    What begins in friendship deepens, and for a time it seems possible to build something real inside a world that moves too fast for anything to last.

    But pressure builds. Old ghosts resurface. Distance grows where certainty once lived, and pride blurs the line between professional and personal. When trust is tested and a line is crossed, it confirms Gin’s quiet fear — that loving someone means risking a fall she may not survive again.

    For Lando, the loss is slower to understand and harder to accept. Winning her back won’t come from speed or instinct, but from patience, accountability, and choosing each other — even when walking away would be easier.

    Summary

    “Max, c’mon!” Lando shouted, running ahead into the clearing.

    “Lando, be careful!” Max yelled back, shouldering his bag and picking up the pace. Charles laughed from where he was standing next to Max, eyes trained on the map in his hands. “What’s so funny?” Max asked, face set in a frown and eyes tracking Lando’s every move.

    “Oh, nothing.” When Max gave Charles an annoyed glare he caved. “It’s just that you get so protective when we're out here. Not that you aren’t usually protective. But out here you turn into ‘Mad Max’, always grumbling and frowning.”

    Max scoffed, “I do not,”

    “You so do,” Charles replied, his voice taking on a sing-songy tone.

    “Whatever, let’s just– LANDO!” Max yelled abruptly. Sprinting towards Lando without a second glance towards Charles. Charles quickly followed, not wanting to be left behind and risk running into the Walkers.

    or

    A Zombie apocalypse Au where Lando's a little shit, Max is tired, Charles is sick of their shit, Oscar's trying to keep Max from killing him, and the others are just along for the ride (they're actually being held hostage)
