Summary
"You're telling me you all haven't learned how to defend yourselves. In a class, called Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Basically, Professor Chase. Almost all of our last DADA teachers have fallen on the more murderous side," a boy in blue said forlornly. "I think it's because of Harry Potter. They really do like trying to kill him." The class murmured in agreement.
It took everything in Annabeth to not stare at them aghast. She really needed to teach Dumbledore what a background check was.
--
Annabeth Chase is issued a quest and she wants to scream. Quest? Could she even call it a quest? Either way, while learning magic and teaching a bunch of mini-wizard students simultaneously was not on her winter break agenda, she still took it on without complaint, intent on completing it as efficiently as possible.
However, it turns out the Wizarding World is horrendously incompetent and perhaps a tad bit fucked up, and Annabeth knows she can never say no to a challenge. She rebuilt Olympus -- how hard could rebuilding an entire magical society be?

Summary
The blonde girl slipped through the door and smiled pitifully at the teacher. “Sorry, we’re late, I just had to show a new student around.”
The teacher nodded understandingly, “I was just about to introduce myself--” he frowned. “We?”
The door slammed open, hitting the wall adjacent to it, opposed to how Kayla had just slid silently into the classroom. The classroom spun a little as Benjy stared at the person standing in the doorway and... what? He took a moment to squint because there was no way that was-- holy shit it was.
Because standing there, from the pair of his faded pink Converse shoes to his ruffled black hair was Percy fucking Jackson.
~ Percy Jackson returns, but instead of facing monsters, he has to deal with high school drama, past friends, and the worst of all, acne.

Summary
It is January of 1994 and the Hogwarts population could not have chosen a worser way to start the year.
"They saw the ghostly bodies fall to the floor, thudding like pieces in a game of chess. They saw the Hogwarts ties hanging around the neck among most of them, like nooses ready for the execution. The House patches on the fronts of their robes bare reminders of the war that would kill them all, whether it be Gryffindor or Slytherin, or Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Why couldn't they realize what it meant?"
~ an interlude, in which after seeing the battle of hogwarts, the wizarding world processes what it all means

Summary
“This shouldn’t even be possible,” she muttered staring up at the high cavern and the dozens of spirits surrounding her. He grinned, his hollowed eye sockets boring into her soul, “Welcome to the Underworld.”
Nancy Bobofit was quite unremarkable in her short, insignificant life. Well, of course, there was always Percy Jackson. Sometimes closure can come from the most surprising places, even after death.

Summary
"They all seemed to be mid-movement, eyes hardened, with concentration and determination. More than a good quarter of the holograms were Hogwarts students, decked out in their uniforms, looking as if they came straight out of class. Some of the adults looked like they were from the Ministry, but some were in the midst of a duel with some students, while others were stunning the black hooded figures."
"A sign flashed over the bodies, making the situation even worse. May 2nd, 1998."
---
In which in the midst of being hunted by the infamous murderer (and Azkaban escapee), Sirius Black, Harry Potter witnesses a part of the Battle of Hogwarts with the rest of the Hogwarts population
OR
In which an author struggles to write a good title.

Summary
Mike’s heart lurches into his throat, constricting his airway as he takes in his face. Because he knows that face. His eyes have wandered along that strong nose, those bunny teeth peeking out between parted lips, that mole beside his mouth. He’s catalogued every detail of that messy brown hair, those long eyelashes, and that pair of enchanting hazel eyes, over and over again, to the point where it burns behind his eyelids when he kisses his girlfriend.
“Holy shit,” the man breathes, gaping in shock, and for once in his life, Mike doesn’t need a trick to stop his loud mouth. For the first time, he’s truly struck dumb.
Because it’s him. Older, taller, and different, but it’s him.
The man standing in front of them, somehow, is Will.
Or,
18-year-old Will Byers gets sent back to July 1985, tries to help them out using some awesome superpowers and futuristic wisdom, and Mike does his best not to combust in the process.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

Summary
In the summer of 1989, the Byers family moves to Montauk, cutting short Mike and Will's last summer together before college. Certain he'll never see his friend again, Will confesses his love on their last night together, rocking Mike's world entirely. As the tear-filled goodbyes draw to a close, however, Mike is suddenly offered the unexpected opportunity to travel with the Byers family and help them move.
They have five days out of state together to address Will's confession, learn to communicate, and maybe, just maybe, say a few things they should have said all along.

Summary
Mike’s weight is usually a comfortable pressure on his chest, not too heavy but just enough to mellow out the frantic buzzing that sometimes inhibits Will’s body on bad nights. He is, however, sharp. This usually proves to be an issue only when Will is trying to wake him from his dead-guy-adjacent sleep and jostles him enough to be poked by a knee or an elbow or a—
“Jesus Christ.”
—a shoulder.
Mike sleeps in. Will suffers.
