    Summary

    “don’t touch him,” max says immediately.

    “i’m not—i’m just—he’s hurt. he looks hurt.”

    dustin drops to his knees in the sand, hands up, palms out, like he’s approaching a wild animal. “okay. okay, hey. hey, it’s fine. you’re fine. nobody’s dead. i mean— you’re not dead dude whoever you are. which is good. great, actually.”

    the boy’s good eye snaps to him.

    dustin’s stomach flips.

    “holy shit,” he whispers. “holy shit, it’s you.”

    Summary

    The air in Hawkins was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. Yet for Will, it had never been harder to breathe. Every breath felt like sucking in glass, cutting up his lungs and leaving the taste of blood in his throat. It's like he's surrounded by thick honey, each step an effort, each inhale a challenge.

    It didn't take Will long to realise something was wrong. Not with Hawkins, not with the Party. No, this was all Will.

     

    or

     

    After the defeat of Vecna, Will gets sick. Really sick.

    Summary

    Trying to move forwards has been the story of James’ life since the beginning of the year. James is on a tightrope, balancing a chronic illness, his NEWT subjects, his friends, and their secrets. It's never easy, especially when his symptoms get in the way of everything he tries to do to move forwards. Nobody else his age seems to faint constantly. Hogwarts faces its own scars, continuing to reel from the attacks at the end of the summer term.
    He’s James Potter, yet he’s Prongs, he’s Fleamont and Euphemia’s son, he’s quidditch captain- though is he ever going to be enough- for Lily, or more importantly, for himself?

    This story can be read as a standalone, or as the sequel to "When the body betrays", which covers James' fifth year. Completed!

    Summary

    James is in his fifth year. Everything's gone so well, so far, hasn't it? So one instance of passing out during quidditch can't be anything to worry about- can it?
    He hasn't really got time to think it over- even when it happens again. And again. And then there's other things to worry about, like potions lessons and Lily Evans, and Remus, who just lost his mum, and James' own parents, who are miles away on a work trip.
    He's James Potter, isn't he?
    Surely, things will just sort themselves out.
