Summary
Eddie Munson was gone. Deceased. Expired. Dead-as-a-doornail. Kaput. He was laying in the dirt, staring up at the swirling grey sky of the Upside Down after getting definitely the worst reaction to the most metal concert of all time. If he was a lesser man, one less-dedicated to his craft of Being Awesome, he would say this whole thing had turned him off metal and D&D all together. But not him, because Eddie Munson was—
Not dead. Eddie Munson was actually jerking awake in the back of a camper-van, the very same van he had hotwired and made Steve Harrington steal a good twelve hours earlier.
Because Eddie Munson? Turns out is stuck in the time-loop from hell. The Worst Spring Break Ever has gone from Bad to Worse, now including reliving the fight against Vecna over and over and over again until he can figure out… how to get out of it. Along with everyone else, still alive and breathing with him. ‘86, baby…
(Aka the Groundhog Day fic that takes place seven years before the release of Groundhog Day so Eddie is really getting tired of having to explain the whole ordeal every. single. goddamn. time.)

Summary
Honestly the embarrassment of this entire debacle was going to murder Trixie. It was going to kill her dead and then Kim would gleefully turn it into some shitty E! True Hollywood Story docu-drama or something—Pitiful Pining Killed the Pussycat: The Trixie Mattel Story.
And that was why Trixie was never, ever, ever telling Kim that when she was trying to text angry threats to her, she had instead accidentally texted Katya Zamolodchikova. Her embarrassing gay crush from four years ago. Completely out of the blue. Because her gay ass hadn’t deleted their long abandoned, years old text chain out of sheer longing.
Yeah. It was pretty bad.
A fic inspired by this post

Summary
Trixie’s worked her entire life to get to where she is now: one of the youngest female flight controllers at NASA. Sure, her first mission sitting console is covering the extremely undesirable mission control night shift for the International Space Station, but Trixie’ll be damned if this does not go flawlessly.
If someone could tell that to NASA astronaut Katya Zamolodchikova who keeps crank calling her from the ISS, that would be great

Summary
World famous makeup artist and makeup mogul Trixie Mattel had big plans for 2020. And then, well… 2020 happened. Grounded in LA for the foreseeable future and going out of her mind without her work, Trixie decided to go back to her roots; YouTube videos. The only problem is Trixie’s former video editor is unavailable, forcing Trixie to hire Katya Zamolodchikova to do the job. Turns out the two of them are a match made in heaven; Katya loves mocking Trixie in Trixie’s own videos, Trixie loves acting a fool with makeup and toy ovens on camera, and the viewers love shipping the two of them together.
If only they had ever actually met.

Summary
Trixie? Trixie Mattel loved her job at the Canadian Children’s History Museum. She was the best damn toy curator you’d ever meet. So why she was being punished by acting as the museum rep for the “Engaging Children and Students In GLAM!” discussion panel at the annual GLAM conference was beyond her. Even worse? This meant she’s going to have to work with her professional archnemesis--University of Toronto archivist Katya Zamolodchikova. Throw in Toronto Public Library rep librarian Valentina Rivera and not even level-headed Art Gallery of Ontario modern art curator Sasha Velour or panel moderator Dela Creme can keep this powder keg from blowing.
(Or will Trixie and Katya realize in time that they must overcome their contentious past and join forces in order to defeat the true Galleries-Libraries-Archives-Museums conference evil: librarians?)

Summary
"... it would inevitably become a problem, because she was an immovable object, and Billy Hargrove was an unstoppable force. Their clash could only end in mayhem."
Billy Hargrove moves to the cultural wasteland of Hawkins, Indiana, and it is so majorly shitty. No good music, no good pussy, and no-good King Steve fucking Harrington running the show. Everything sucks, and then he encounters Mandy Mueller, a miserable, stuck-up bitch with secrets aplenty, who ends up being a lot more fun than she lets on.
Mandy Mueller wants to be left alone, but everyone in Hawkins is so obsessed with her it's disgusting. Behind a veneer of teenage cattiness and disinterest, she manages to hold herself at a safe distance from her peers and hide all the things that make her certifiably weird. That is, until Billy Hargrove moves to town and takes an interest in her. Ugh. What a life-ruining loser.
*Third-person narrative with changing character povs. Set mid/after season 2. Still somehow mostly canon-compliant. Most of this story was written before s3&4 so idek. Most characters in s1&2 will show up alongside some nameless background and side characters from other seasons :)
