Summary
"He washes his wounds off, sparingly, with water this time. He figures it’s probably time to do so. Maybe he’ll be okay.
He falls asleep in the bathtub with a chair wedged against the bathroom door to keep it from opening.
He dreams he’s hanging on in the back of the RV they stole, and Steve Harrington is yelling at him.
“Hang on!” he’s saying, “Hang on!”"
——————————
Eddie Munson is stuck in the Upside Down. Barely alive.
Steve Harrington is trying to sleep and failing at it, miserably.
What a strange thing it is, to save the world alongside friends
and come away from it with nightmares and loneliness.title from 'Boy Like Me' by Barns Courtney
alternatively titled: "a crowd of about five drunks"Series

the phantom of the opera is here... in the department of engineering by randomananas

Summary
The Department of Engineering was haunted – whether it was a ghost, a demon or a very very grumpy associate professor, there was something or someone there.
Unattended uncompleted equations on the board would get corrected, sometimes solved if magnanimous, other times completely revamped and revisited – lines sharp on the blackboard from too rough fingers abusing on chalk, as if the Phantom was furious and disappointed on what the poor associate professor was working on.
If someone was courageous enough to leave their research paper unattended, the Phantom would review it and correct it and leave it where it was. It was the easiest, free-of-charge peer-review students could get, if they were brave enough to endure the scathing remarks the Phantom sometimes left.No one could escape the Phantom’s caustic commentary.
No one, except Jayce Talis.
or; imagine the Academy has a weirdo appearing at night to correct research papers and call everyone ignorant except YOU and it is driving you crazy.

Summary
Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.
The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.
Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.
Viktor had once despised it.
Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.
Now?
Now, he used it.
If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.
Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.
