Summary
Two years pass by, and the impossible happens. There is a home for Beth and the others in Hawkins. Not one they were born into, but one built from the most improbable of materials: shared grief, fierce friendships, unexpected losses and resilient hopes, and most importantly, an obstinate desire to move forward. None of them are naive, though. They know their hard-won peace is fragile, and they are living through the calm before the next storm.
They will all eventually have to figure out if they have what it takes to protect all those whom they hold dear, especially when their enemies, across worlds, turn out to be far more dangerous than they anticipated.
"Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don't have the strength." - Theodore Roosevelt

Summary
Without a little agony, none of us would bother to learn a thing. Character is not made of sunshine and roses. Like steel, it is forged in fire, between the hammer and the anvil.
Or, in one of the infinite possible alternative versions of the same world, everyone's story looks a little different as a result of several characters' paths colliding in a small but strange town like Hawkins.
Or, Steve Harrington discovers he's not, in fact, bullshit. Nancy Wheeler decides what kind of woman she'd like to be. Jonathan Byers realizes he's more than the sum of his responsibilities as an elder sibling. Jim Hopper gets more out of the parenthood experience than he'd ever expected and Joyce finds peace within chaos. The Party learns the passage into adulthood may be more troublesome than end-of-world-level threats. Billy Hargrove crosses paths with a harbinger ready to judge him for his sins, and in the process, he must face his abyss before there's any hope for his redemption. Elizabeth Stirling learns that a soldier needs to look back to remember what they're moving forward for.
And they'll all understand that there's always a bigger threat to worry about.
Sequel is now up.

Summary
BEFORE: Prior to his Jagan surgery, Hiei fights to survive among Demon World's riffraff, but when he meets Nozumi, he discovers there's more to living than being the last demon standing. AFTER: Years after the Demon World Tournament, the tracker Nozumi receives an offer she can't refuse—find the missing apparition Yukina and a fortune can be hers. If her heart can bear it.
---
Looking back, it had been then she’d fallen in love with him.
Not lust or infatuation or curiosity.
Proper, world-defining love.
Now, heart in her throat, she flipped to the last page, unearthing the slip of well-worn paper she’d long ago tucked in the binding. His writing had faded, years—and her fingertips—dulling the ink, but she could make out the words. No demons with a death wish.
She ran a nail along each letter, aching for the comfortable life they’d built, the nights they’d tangled in her sheets, the dinners together, the bathhouse visits. For those brief two years, he’d been a steadying presence, flickering like a flame, sometimes close, sometimes far, but always warm. If she could go back and live those days again, she would in a heartbeat—even knowing the heartbreak that would come.

Summary
Hermione convinces Draco to spy for the Order and she becomes his handler. But what are his true motivations? Hard to say when he's still figuring that out himself.

Draco cut her off. “You may have my wand, but you're not in control of the flow of information here. It’s not your life on the line.”
Granger bristled at his assertion. “My life is on the line every day.”
“So. Is. Mine.” He growled back. “Give me my fucking wand and don’t be so bloody obvious when you contact me.”
She narrowed her eyes. “I already told you I'd be more careful next time.”
She better be.
“One more thing.”
“What, Malfoy?” she snapped, still angry she hadn’t gotten the information she wanted.
He pointed his finger at her so she would understand how important this was. “You need to learn Occlumency. If you’re captured, I’m dead.”
She stared back in defiance. “We both are.”
He couldn’t argue with that.
She tossed his wand to the floor and Disapparated with a crack.

Summary
When he rounds the corner into the library, the hamburger in his pocket oozes through the empty slots between his chapped knuckles where they’re scraped pink by late fall.
Billy's got his arm around Nancy Wheeler.
It catches Steve off guard. Knocks his feet out from under him, toes snagging on the lip of the frayed carpet by the checkout desk, so he's got to grab at the book return, smearing ketchup like blood on the mahogany.
