Summary
“You know,” Giles tells him casually on the fifth day of his bathtub captivity, “I donate blood quite often. There's not much to it, really,” Giles insists, “they give you a sandwich afterwards, sets you right as rain.”
Spike is bored. He's chained up and helpless, but mostly he's just bored, which is probably why he replies.
“Kudos to you for the Good Samaritan act, Watcher. I'd clap, yeah?” he holds up his manacled hands, “but I'm a little tied up right now.”
Giles sighs, putters about with the things he keeps on the edge of the sink. “I merely meant that I could help you out, Spike. That's all.”
“Oh is it, now?” Spike stalls, he can feel his teeth sharpen at the thought, the call for fresh blood in his stagnant veins. “And what's in it for you?” -

Summary
“Come oooooon, Jonny, please?” Argyle pleads on their third morning sleeping in the van. “I'm telling you my dude, no one will care! They're gone alright? They packed all of their pretty little things and they drove the fuck away from here, and they're not coming back! We can just pick one, any one, even the Chief agrees.”
Jon turns on his back and speaks at the ceiling. “Hopper's not even chief anymore dude, and we can't just up and walk into someone's house and settle there.”
“Why not my dude? They'll never even know.”
“Cause it's illegal! Immoral? It would be weird? I don't know man, we just can't!”
“Immoral? Illegal? Jonny my man, you call yourself a punk? What would Bowie do, man? What would Bowie do!?”
This is an Argyle-centric fic, set in Hawkins post-rift.
This is a tale of survival.
The army quarantines the town, but of course they've got to stay, got to try and save the world.
Argyle is there for most of it, helps where he can, mostly by providing comfort (food) and relief (Purple Palm Tree Delight) to the good people of Hawkins, army included.
Jonathan's there too, of course, and it takes them a while, but they get there.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov returns from the 2017 All Stars different from how he left for them.
Then his father dies, and he takes the call in their locker room after a game, and Cliff Marleau sees more than people think.
And then Shane Hollander goes down, and Ilya Rozanov fucking loses it - not to the untrained eye, no, but Cliff Marleau has lived out of the locker next to this kid for the past seven years.
He’s also not a fucking idiot.

Once is a mistake, twice is terrible judgment, three times is enemy action. After four times, it might just be something worse.

What if Scott hooked up with Ilya during the summer of 2010 entirely by accident, then kept doing it on purpose.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov does not come pre-installed with good communication or healthy coping skills. Is he going to seek out help on his own? Hell no! But when a family member kills himself, fellow Boston Raider and friend Cliff Marleau decides that Ilya is going to therapy come hell or high water. And Ilya... well, Ilya is just playing along to keep the peace. Right? He doesn't need therapy. But if it helps his friend be less worried, so be it.
OR
What if Ilya came into the tuna meltdown with slightly upgraded social skills and no one actually ran away before they had a conversation?

Summary
Jesper says it must be blackmail. Maybe murder. There’s no other way Kaz Brekker could already be holding a full professorship at the University of Ketterdam, no matter how many books he’s written. Inej, trapped by an adjunct’s contract which is the only thing standing between her and deportation, is willing to risk the obvious dangers of his company in exchange for the advantages, professional and otherwise. But when the department’s budget comes up suspiciously short, Inej’s job is on the line, and Kaz isn’t ready to let her go without a fight.
