Summary
“Does the grey layer have a name?”
El, so curious about the world she inhabited, often asked questions like this. Definitions to store away and use for later, as if to prove to others that she deserved to be listened to because she had learned more. Will understands — there’s always been a level of disconnect between him and planning against Vecna. His friends are scared something will happen if they throw him into the middle, so he always has to be more sure, more brave, and more determined than anyone else if he wants to be involved.
It’s because of this understanding that Will eagerly gives her these names and phrases and definitions, and often gives her an answer before she even asks. But the name of this particular technique is heavy in the back of his throat.
“It’s called the dead layer.”
--
An exploration of Hawkins, Will, and his relationship with Mike and El, through the lens of an art term. -

Summary
"Vaguely, Mike registers Joyce and the rest of the Byers-Hopper family get out of the car. But his eyes follow Will. It's hard to see him, because somehow he seems to be pulling in all of the light.
He's so bright, like the sun."
Mike Wheeler is entirely miserable after everything is over. It feels like his current fate is inescapable, but maybe he can choose a different door.
(short post canon fix-it because they did Mike so dirty)

Summary
"Loving was the easiest thing Adrien's ever done. He fell fast and hard like it was the most natural thing he could do. And it was. So incredibly perfect and natural and ingrained in him. To love. To protect and hold his special people so close like he was scared to lose them."
--
Ordinarily, one does not get hanahaki when the person they love loves them back. Of course, this only works if you know they love you back. But our two favorite heroes have a lot they don't know about each other

Love square-induced hanahaki, takes place at the beginning of season four -

Summary
His father is Hawk Moth?
Adrien grins. "Well, I guess that cat's out of the bag."
--
Things just keep not going Adrien's way. A focus on self-discovery, growth, and learning how to unlock the potential of the miraculous. All while Adrien has to take down his father from the inside.(Or: my personal interpretation on how a miraculous user gains full power)
__
Chapter 2 Snippet:Adrien grins, a Chat Noir classic because he knows Adrien Agreste shouldn't agree.
It's impolite to come in without an invitation.
Yes, father.
But he's Chat Noir right now, at least in his mind. Only, his father knows. And he's a disappointment in either form.

Summary
Mike doesn't care about a body in a quarry. His mark, a swingset, still sits on his left ankle as an important reminder. He checked. And then checked again just to make sure his brain wasn't playing a stupid trick on him. Imagine. If that body really is Will and Mike's mind is delusional that it's forcing him to see a mark that isn't there. Just the idea of that makes Mike dizzy. He thinks he'd rather die than for that to be true. But he still feels Will's terror and pain. It hurts to feel his soulmate so scared but it's grounding. Will is somewhere. That body is not his.
--
Or: soulmate au where your mark fades when your soulmate dies. So that's obviously why the body in the quarry isn't Will's.
--
Or pt2: Mike argues with Hopper about the status of Will's aliveness.

Field Trips and (Overly Dramatic) Father Figures by PS_NoThanks

Summary
If he had to, Peter could write a list of the things he liked about school, and it'd be a pretty long one, but field trips would definitely not be on there.
He had his reasons, you know. Being bitten by a radioactive spider tended to kill the vibe a little, which was why he wasn't exactly overjoyed to hear that his AP science class was going on yet another field trip.
He was even less overjoyed when the field trip location was revealed: Stark Tower, where his overly dramatic, totally-not-dad, tended to hang around.
Naturally, everything goes wrong, but then a few things go right, too. At this point, the only thing that Peter knows for sure is that Parker Luck seems to be a dominant force in his life.- Language:

Summary
“Hey, Tony Stank” Rhodey starts speaking as soon as he opens the door, “what’s this I’ve been hearing abou-“.
Rhodey freezes mid-step and mid-sentence when he see’s Tony… or more accurately when he sees a kid sitting next to his friend.
…a kid that, when he and Tony look up at him entering the lab, looks freakishly like Tony did when he first met him back at MIT.
It may have been 30 years, give or take, since he met his best friend, but he’d never forget the first time that he met the skinny little kid that had a busted lip because he had mouthed off to one of the much older students.
He’d never forget that little face.
The face that he was suddenly seeing all over again…sat next to his best friend.

Yes, this is one of those stories where Tony find's out Peter is actually his son. I'm a sucker for these kind of stories and I've wanted to write one for a while...so, here it is :)Series

Summary
Steve shifted his attention to her and the two of them shared a look. Whatever he seemed to be looking for in her endless green eyes, he didn’t find. He sighed, giving up. The captain opened his mouth, about to say something when the doors to the lab slid open and he was interrupted with a sob.
Their heads snapped in that direction, instantly on alert.
Steve watched confused as Agent Coulson walked in, a crying child in his hands, both looking distressed. He glanced at Banner, expecting to find some form of regnesion on the man’s face but he found nothing. The man looked as confused as Steve felt. Natasha didn’t seem affected at all either. She remained expressionless as always, eyes trained on the crying child. A well hidden flash of curiosity appeared momentarily on her face, Steve barely caught it.
“What happened?” Tony asked, sounding panicked. He rushed to step forward, putting his hands out to accept the crying boy into his own arms.
