    Summary

    “I see” Alex’s voice is void of all it’s previous emotion, his eyes are dimmer, and his smile is long wiped away. The response feels like a stone dropping in John’s stomach. He’d been starting to like his roommate, over the past five minutes he’d gotten somewhat attached, wondering if maybe he would have a friend here, one to work with as Alex had suggested not even two minutes ago. He could feel the fairy tale drifting far from his reach.

    “Well then, I hope you won’t be too uncomfortable sleeping in the same room as a queer immigrant. Of course I’m sure you can always call down to administration and get yourself a room swap, wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable with my gay longing looks or the chance that I might steal your shit or your job or something” The words ram into Lauren’s chest like tiny darts.

    Summary

    Harry Potter spent his eleventh birthday in a cabin on a tiny rock in the middle of the sea, listening to his cousin snore on the couch.

    When a knock sounded on the wind-swept, rain-drenched door, it was not a giant fist (or a half-giant's fist). It was a short sharp rap that sounded once, twice, three times before Minerva McGonagall simply charmed the lock open and stepped inside.

    "Apologies," Minerva said crisply, as Vernon raced out brandishing his rifle and Petunia pulled Dudley up off the couch and behind her. "I wasn't sure you could hear me over the weather.” The rain fell down behind the professor in a roar. She was perfectly dry.

    Minerva fished in her pocket without looking, because the only things allowed in her pockets were only ever exactly what she needed. “I've come to deliver this," she said, pulling out a letter and handing it to Harry, who was cross-legged on the floor, "because our owl post seems to have been unable to get through.”

    “And I've come to deliver this," she added, pulling out a second letter, "because Hogwarts by-laws require a professor to hand-deliver acceptance letters to Muggleborn families for their explanation and comfort."

    Summary

    “You don’t know me,” Alex told her, but she wasn’t listening. They never did. You don’t know me he reminded himself, hiding his hands under the table so she wouldn’t see as his fingers curled into fists and count it as another strike against him.

    Alternatively: yet another foster care au, featuring a gifted but troubled Alexander Hamilton, the overly friendly rev set and all their hijinks, some familiar antagonists, and of course the benevolent Washingtons.

    Summary

    Steve tumbles out of the gate, but instead of the dried out lake, he finds himself in Eddie's trailer. Dazed, upset and confused, he ventures into the upside-down, and instead of finding the three friends he'd last seen in the boat, he comes across another familiar face - Billy Hargrove, who appears to be a little less-than-human and looking for a good time and a ticket out of the hellhole he'd found himself in following his death.

    aka: canon rewrite with Billy alive and slightly feral

    Summary

    Steve doesn't seem to mind. He laughs - and, fuck it, he's hot when he laughs - and shrugs the comments away, slaps Billy's shoulder like they’ve been buddies for years, and never once acts like he's threatened or like he's annoyed.
    Billy knows he should find it bothering, but he just... likes it.
    (There are plenty of things he shouldn’t like. This never stopped him from wanting them anyway.)

    Alternatively: Billy rolls into Hawkins a year early, just in time to befriend King Steve at his peak.
