Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Worlds Apart

by EddieSpaghetti (Nikanaiko)

In a world completely devoid of monsters, Eddie runs a Dungeons & Dragons club at the high school he just can't seem to graduate from, and Steve Harrington works at Scoops Ahoy with his best friend, Robin Buckley. In a world without a strange, dark reflection of itself hidden in the shadows, Will Byers does not get kidnapped in middle school, and Michael Wheeler's eyes never once wander from his. In a world that does not worsen steadily, the earth instead shatters all at once.

Voltron: Legendary Defender

Lionhearted

by orphan_account

One of the occupational hazards of being on a team of robotic lion warriors is that sometimes, one of the pilots goes overboard with the heroics - and of course it's Shiro who sacrifices his freedom, giving Keith responsibility he never asked for. He returns the favor with a promise he'll do anything to keep - I'll find you again, I promise.Meanwhile, Hunk and Coran make the most of their stranded condition by helping the locals build up a resistance to the Galra, who are bound to show up soon. Pidge and Allura find - well, they're not sure what it is. Only that it's ancient, it's powerful, and it can help them find the others, who are too far off for the castle's systems to detect. That's because Keith and Lance are lucky enough to get stuck on the only planet that's successfully hiding from Zarkon - through magic no known force can overcome, which Keith wants to use to their (much needed) advantage. Lance is just grateful they have hot dogs.If they play their cards just right, Keith and Pidge can save the people they care about most and get Team Voltron back together before it's too late. If they can't...well, there's only so much damage Haggar can do before Shiro's beyond saving.

Eyes On You

"The light faded. And in one, quiet instant, Selphie Tilmitt was gone." When Selphie is absorbed into time, she must find her way back without her friends, and Irvine must battle on alone. Or, perhaps those aren't quite the right words.

Harry Potters Tale Final

by Argeus_the_Paladin

"Three years had gone by since the sorceress Ultimecia was defeated. Not all had been well: new threats and tensions emerge in the horizon, the unstable political climate post-Ultimecia and a personal tragedy had been taking its toll on the now-prestigious Commander of Garden. Then came Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, whose arrival was a tragedy of its own.Then again, dysfunctional a family as it was, Garden tended to solve quite a few more problems than it created..."
