Summary
For twenty-four hours, Max refused to say a word to anyone.
Six months. In six months, it felt like everything had changed, and at the same time, nothing had happened at all. Vecna was still in hiding, hurt and licking his wounds, only sending his monsters to keep Hawkins on its toes and remind them that the worst was to come. School had sort of resumed, but with so few students left in Hawkins, most everyone was studying at home on their own. Military had flooded the town, but the curfew wasn’t very strictly enforced, if at all.
And Max’s mom abandoned her without a second thought. Left her to die alone in a hospital, or to the mercy of Indiana’s foster care system, which was as good as a death sentence in Max’s former condition. If it weren’t for the Wheelers and Steve Harrington, there was no telling what would have happened to her.
--
In which Max begins to figure out what life will be from here on out, featuring informal adoptive parents Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley, a devoted Lucas Sinclair, forever scientifically-inclined Dustin Henderson, and a subtly protective Mike Wheeler accompanied by endlessly entertained Will Byers.

Summary
“Max,” asked Vickie, stopping by the phone and halting the pushing of Max’s wheelchair, “do you want me to call your mom? I’m sure she’ll want to know that you’re back,”
Oh, right. She swallowed. “You can try? I don’t know if she’ll pick up though. From what I’ve been told, the only reason they kept me alive in the hospital was the whole…military shutdown thing,” She hoped the way her voice wavered and shook wasn’t too detectable, and even if it was, they should cut her some slack! She only woke up from a “coma” barely two days ago, and been plunged straight into a fight to the death with all her close friends and family all whilst being basically paralysed.

Summary
“I’m fine.” I swallow. My mouth is dry and my tongue feels too big for my mouth. “Just… stay with me?”
Rocky presses a claw against the xenonite, just below my fingers. “Yes. I will watch you sleep."
(OR: After Grace remembers how he came to be on the Hail Mary, he’s plagued with nightmares. Weak and sick from vitamin- deficiency after running out of coma-slurry, the nightmares reach a new fever pitch.)

Summary
Mike Wheeler hides behind a facade to conceal the pain in his heart. He turns to bad habits, secrets, and stays cloaked in the shadows. That is until an all too familiar foe reemerges in Hawkins and preys on those just like him. Those hiding behind masks, plagued by their pain.
Nobody suspected Vecna would go after Michael Wheeler. Maxine Mayfield, sure. Will Byers? Oh definitely. They’re caught by surprise when Mike Wheeler is targeted and Vecna chases after him like a hunting dog. After all, why give up such easy prey?

Summary
The attack at Godric’s Hollow didn’t kill Harry Potter, but it left him with a permanent spinal cord injury. While the Wizarding World celebrated, the Potters faced a harsh new reality. Unable to cope with the demands of raising a paraplegic son, James Potter abandons his family, leaving Lily to pick up the pieces.
She finds unexpected support in Severus Snape, who steps in to provide the medical care, structure, and fatherly love Harry desperately needs. This story follows Harry’s childhood as he navigates a magical world ill-equipped for wheelchairs, preparing for Hogwarts not as the Boy Who Lived, but as a determined boy who must fight for his dignity and his place in a world built for those who can walk.Bookmarked by bahbrowski
