Summary
“Not into the whole superhero thing, then?” Steve asks Nancy.
“Of course she isn’t,” Jonathan mutters. “Nancy cares about real journalism.”
Steve raises his eyebrows. “And Spider-Man isn’t?”
“A man in tights swinging from webs?” Jonathan deadpans. “Definitely not, no.”
In which: Jonathan is the unfortunate Daily Bugle intern tasked with taking pictures of New York's new favorite superhero, Steve struggles with the trials and tribulations of maintaining a secret identity, and Nancy is just trying to do some actual goddamn investigative journalism for once.
Or, an au where Steve is Spider-Man.

Summary
Having lived his entire life in a small town obsessed with Christmas, Jonathan has grown to resent the holiday. It doesn't help that the influx of visiting tourists staying at the Byers Bed & Breakfast for the season makes it their busiest time of year. When Nancy Wheeler arrives feeling disappointed her boyfriend is stuck in New York for their vacation, Jonathan offers to keep her company while she does all the touristy stuff. It's only supposed to be a friendly favor, but the more time they spend together, the easier it is for Jonathan to fall for her. Is it so crazy to think Nancy would be happier with him than she is with her asshole big-city boyfriend who couldn't be bothered to spend Christmas with his girlfriend?
But then Steve Harrington finally shows up, and Jonathan realizes he might've been wrong. Not only does Steve not seem like the asshole Jonathan thought he was, but he and Nancy actually look happy together. Obviously, it's time for Jonathan to face the fact that his feelings are unrequited and move on.
It'd be easier to do, probably, if Steve and Nancy would stop inviting Jonathan along on their dates.

Summary
In the grand order of things, light and darkness clash. Space condenses. Time collapses. Life persists. Space, the vast ocean of everything, is doomed to die. It's been doomed for centuries; and nobody is more aware of this than a man whose entire existence depends on such an inevitable fate. Unfortunately, Xigbar's always been awful with taking orders, and waiting around to die has always been boring as hell. With only a few hours to midnight on the Doomsday clock, Xigbar hedges his bets with the most confounding companion he can think of, just to take the edge off. Or, make it substantially worse.

Summary
Friends or not, Alex loved everyone too much for his own good. He just had no sense of the different types of love, and how his words and actions might cause problems. He was also painfully honest in a way that made you feel bad for lying to him, which resulted in Ryland harbouring a growing pile of guilt every time Alex got a little too close.

Summary
The last time Robin saw Vickie was four years ago, and it’d been the last time she thought she’d ever see her again. So it doesn’t make sense that she’s seeing her here, now, four years later and over two hundred miles away. Her bangs are shorter and her hair is longer, but her freckles are still the same — dotted across her face and nose like pepper sprinkled across paper.
Familiarly, Robin’s stomach twists.
Or: Robin moves to Chicago, gets the girl, figures out how to be brave, and attempts to help Steve with his disastrous love life.

Summary
“Alright,” Nancy says, and then, unthinkingly, she adds, “It’s a date, then.”
The other line goes abruptly silent.
Nancy frowns. “Steve? Are you okay?”
She hears him clear his throat. “Yeah, I’m here. I’m great. I’m — I’ll see you and Jonathan Friday?”
And later, much later, Nancy will look back and realize that this is the moment where she should’ve put it together. But she doesn’t. Instead, she says, “Great. We’ll pick you up at six. Sound good?”
“Yeah,” Steve says, his voice quiet and careful. “That sounds great, actually.”

Summary
His fair skin already had a tinge of gold from the past few days working in the sun. His strong, naked torso was littered with faint scars and a few strange tattoos. His sandy blond hair almost glowed in the sunlight. He stepped cautiously along, barefoot, and murmuring to himself. And he carried a bowl filled with sheep’s blood which he flicked over the neat rows with his fingers.
John shook his head, “He’s the strangest man.”
Abigail smirked, “Ye have to admit, the crops were better than ever last year. Maybe there is something to his strangeness.”

Summary
Poly-Am Party Week Fic!
Inside the saloon, he’s immediately aware that something is off. It’s as loud and chaotic as any bar he’s ever been in, with local men arguing over drinks or flirting with the resident working girls, but there’s also an obvious bubble of space that no one’s entering near one corner of the room.
A corner where John is sat, fiddling with something on his wrist and looking annoyed.
Arthur sighs and heads for the younger man.
“What’d ya do?” He asks, dropping to sit across from the man and swiping the remains of his beer.
OR
John's mind is just one big dirty minefield.

Summary
“Morning, Arthur.” Abigail greets him with a soft smile, and he manages a somewhat thin one in response as he sits beside her. There’s something knowing in her gaze and she puts down the yarn, rising to her feet and offering his shoulder a gentle squeeze. “I’ll grab you some coffee.” She offers and he nods in thanks, not quite able to finds words yet.
The view out the kitchen window is gray, the sky overcast and dull. The trees around the barn are dropping the last of their leaves, the golds and reds of Autumn fading to brown and rust. It’s an appropriate reflection of how he feels; worn and brittle and faded.
OR
Arthur tries to mope, but his family is having none of it.

Summary
“Dutch and I are older. You’re closest to his age.” Hosea puts a hand up to halt Arthur’s protestations at that– “I know you’re an adult Arthur, you’re still the youngest. He can see an easier path to being you than to being me or being Dutch. That’s a valuable thing for a young man that’s been through what he has.”
He moves his hand to pat Arthur’s arm. “I’ll still be showing him things, but I want him taking your example, too. We all have to pitch in.”
Arthur grunts, and frowns, and gnaws at his lip. But ultimately he acquiesces and bows his big head in deference to his fathers’ wills.
John Marston starts, to him, a burden.

Things change for Arthur over the scale of years. John Marston worms his way in to parts of him he thought long dead.**UPDATE 12/22/24**: NOW COMPLETE! Explicit rating beginning in Chap 7.

Summary
Some days, he wonders if he should’ve stayed below. Alan will stand on the shore of Cauldron Lake, bare feet in the rocky sand with his trousers rolled up around his ankles as the waves drag him closer. Maybe he will walk right into the lake and never stop, simply end up floating on the lake-bed like Barbara Jagger. If he went down, would he ever come back up? Is the Dark Place waiting for him in the ocean, or has it fractured away into nothingness without Scratch there to hold it all together? Which came first; hell or the devil? Something in the back of his brain tells him that deep dark ocean still holds so much left unexplored, a world upon other worlds. One day, when the only one left of this story that remains is Alan Wake himself, he may return to it again.
