Stranger Things (TV 2016)

follow the sparks ill

by astrobi

“Will? Will Byers?” The edge of a face comes into view as the car’s obnoxiously tinted windows get rolled down, all black hair and wide eyes and confused, furrowed brows. Will, to his dismay, recognizes the face immediately. “It’s Mike,” Mike Wheeler adds, rather unnecessarily. “From camp.” From camp, as if Mike hadn’t– “Hi,” Will says anyway, because being wet and soggy and stranded on the side of the road kind of limits his leeway for snark. He shifts in his soaking wet shoes, glances up at the thundering sky, and thinks about how much he hates his life. “Yeah. It’s me.” Will's a good person, really. But apparently the universe thinks otherwise. Why else would it send him a broken down car, a dead phone, a thunderstorm, and Mike Wheeler (and Mike Wheeler's horrendous Tesla) all in the same afternoon?

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

The Hogwarts Years

by smallbrownfrog

This is a set of reference tables and lists for the Harry Potter series. They give a quick overview of which characters in various generations might have been in the same year at school.Both canon sources (directly from the novels) and secondary sources are given. It's then up to you to decide which (if any) dates you believe are correct. Some dates are contradictory or highly unlikely. Others are very straightforward.No movie sources have been used because the movies frequently differ from the books.

she's a femme fatale

by cupidsintern

Billie looks like a femme fatale when she smokes. Like the ones in old black and white movies that wear tight dresses and have scathing one liners. Red lipstick, tilted-up chin, like how Billie normally is.Right now though, she doesn't have any makeup on. Stevie can see her freckles. And see the faint traces of eyeliner streaked down her cheeks. The curls are still there, though.She still looks like a femme fatale.

Hold Me Tight

by BananaChef

With a heavy sigh, he looked back down at his own book. Despite it being about swordwork, Jaime couldn’t get past the third paragraph. The words kept swimming in front of his eyes, floating around the page.He slammed it shut, shoving it onto the floor before curling into a fetal position against the back of his chair. “I can’t do it! I can’t read! The words keep swimming around the page!” To Jaime’s chagrin, he choked up, frustrated tears claiming his eyes. “I can’t do it.”

Roman Holiday

by been away for ages (beenawayforages)

familiar faces surround you and you're piling into dennys at 4 am, alcohol hot on your breath and youth in your veins; your head spins and your chest kind of burns, but you feel giggly (and a little guilty) as you look around at the other bodies occupying the dimly lit spaces in between. but you know, you can feel it, you can feel your breath in your lungs and heart in your chest -- and you are alive.[queer & neurodivergent harry and louis bond over gender mishaps and feelings of emptiness that comes with bad memories and too many pills.]

Happy Birthday, By The Way

by mygalaxyeyes

The nickname caught him off guard, and his face reddens even more if that was even possible. He wondered if Hydro had taught Tomáš that too, since he was the one in charge of teaching Tomáš Chinese? He swallowed softly. "It's... really, no problem." He says. Inwardly, he told himself he'd learn how Czech nicknames worked, so he could call Tomáš something similar to A–Liang.—Kuai Liang's perspective as Tomáš' fifteenth birthday approaches.
