***
After the walk-in, Carmy has to face his past, the present situation he has put himself in, and navigate through the first steps of fixing his mistakes.

Summary
"This a story about panic. The word is never mentioned."
For Arthur, panic is this tiny shifting body that hides in his gut. Most of the time it stays there, mutating onto itself just to not let him forget. I'm here, you can't escape me. Sometimes it multiplies, sprouting through his being, clawing through his defenses like nothing can remain on its way. I will ruin you. Arthur knows that one day there will be nothing for him to do other than succumb to it.
***
In which a piece of Arthur's long forgotten past resurfaces and now Merlin is the only who can pick up the pieces, that is if he manages to figure out what is happening before it's too late.

Summary
Still at a very early age, Billy found out dreams weren't for everyone. Certainly weren't for people like them, or at least that was what Neil had said.
California felt like a dream, until it didn't anymore. He doesn't like to look back at that night, but that night loves to haunt him.
It bleeds into Hawkins, into his other monsters. A constant nightmare, that is what his life felt very much like.
He wonders if now, after his heart stopped beating, after his body gave up, will it be like waking up? Will it be like the end of nightmare, opening your eyes to a new day, to a better life?
He doubts it, that sounds too much like a dream for him.
///
Somehow Billy survives Starcourt. Gratitude is not among the things he feels about his survival, not when he knows he has to go back to a much more real (and much more angry) monster than whatever it was that took him.
Hawkins and California start to bleed in together, a gory mess of everything that haunts him. Billy can't tell apart past and present no more.
Or rather, he can't do it alone. Because much like in his past, he might have people to make the darkness clearer. That is, if he doesn't lose them this time around.

Summary
Steve is no stranger to fighting. He has fought his entire life, especially on the past years. However, that doesn't mean he is any good at it, especially when the battle is against his own mind.
Robin was born a genius. There is no point in denying it, she had always been terrifically smart. She was one of the best when it came to math, history, physics, english, languages, music. It was never the same for emotional intelligence.
Robin has absolutely no idea why Steve Harrington became her best friend, but he really is the only one worth the title. Steve doesn't think anyone else could carry the struggle that is being his best friend, but Robin does an amazing job at it. After the summer of 1985, they share everything, or at least she thinks they do, and tonight might show her that it really doesn't roll that way.

Summary
All James had ever wanted was to be a good kid, mainly because those kids are usually the ones people pay attention to. Jealously isn't a trait from good kids, but it was also never a choice for him, only a result of begging to be noticed his entire life.
James wonders if anyone will ever truly see him one day.

Summary
"He wanted to say something, but he didn't even know what he wanted to say. They weren't together. But were they? That wasn't even the real problem. The real problem was a ticking time bomb. He wrestled with the thought of it. It was terrifying of course, considering their relationship and jobs, but some part of him felt like he would make it work. He could even imagine it for a second."
One stupid mistake led to this.

Summary
He felt like a hollow glass in that moment. As if someone had poured all his contents out. It’s not the first time he’s felt like this, but in the Arena he had been able to ignore it, to keep pushing forward, until Mags gifted him the trident and Finnick knew, suddenly, that the Capitol wanted him to win, that it would do everything it could to make sure he could go home.
At the time, it felt like a promise of life. Looking back on it, Finnick should’ve known there was some horrible underbelly to it. The Capitol never gifts things without an expected exchange. He should’ve known.
He should’ve known.
(Finnick: before, during, and after the Revolution.)

Summary
It wasn’t that the Dursleys abused Harry, really. There were no horrible beatings, no injuries that left marks, nothing like that. But they were cruel with their words, and they controlled his food to the point that some days he thought he might go insane, and Vernon did slap him pretty hard the one time, after Harry dropped a soapy dinner plate and it shattered. Sometimes Vernon flew into rages, but it wasn’t, like, horrible. Harry could always maneuver his way through.
Or, the one where Harry is an American high school student, and Tom Riddle is a whole other kind of villain.
