Summary
After the events of his fourth year, Harry Potter finds that he is unwilling to suffer any more than necessary.
Nightmares of the graveyard are leaving him exhausted, stressed, and willing to do anything for a good night's rest. However much Harry might try, he can't stay awake forever, and he does not want to watch Cedric Diggory die every time he closes his eyes. If a potion can spare him that ordeal, then one dose can't hurt.
Then another.
And then a few more.
Unfortunately, some solutions come with side effects.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.

Love conquers all things, so we too shall yield to love by TeaFourTwo
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
08 Sep 2021

Summary
"Power. Power is the only thing that matters in this world.” His father’s voice whispers in his ear. “And Submissive’s have none of that power, you understand me? Now take the pill—it’s for your own good, Billy, this is just how the world works."
From the moment Billy Hargroves steps out of his blue Camaro with “Number of the Beast” blaring from his speakers, the entirety of the Submissive inclined population of Hawkin's High has their eye on him. He’s nothing like those sweet guys in the songs, nothing like the knight in shining armor that saves the girl in every love story. What he is though, is Dominant, strong, and hot as hell. Or at least that’s what they think.
And as far as Billy's concerned, that's what they'll keep thinking.

If I Could Just Exist Without You by Deathinasmalltown
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
17 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
If he’s being honest, he’s never been really good at controlling himself. It bleeds out of him. When he’s too loud. Obnoxious. Mean. Disrespectful. He’s been told he takes too much energy. Always been told that he sucks the life out of people—he bottles it all up; carries it like a weight; revels in the suffering. It’s been getting worse too, since before they left California…
A Stranger Things AU—Harringrove
Billy has powers, and he has no clue. Chapter 1 is a flashback, and chapter 2 picks up at S2E9. The rest of this fic changes the story and leads up to the events of S3, and maybe beyond.

Summary
That night, 1984
Steve sits at the kitchen table, a pack of frozen carrots wrapped in a tea towel against his swollen purple face. "I'm fine," he says. It’s over. They fought the monsters, and they won. Now he can rest.
Except in real life, the credits don't roll, and they don't get to skip ahead to Christmas.

Summary
"It's just that it feels like everyone's already against me. I guess I just don't want you to join them," Billy admits in a small voice.
Billy's running thin, stretching himself so far apart to hold onto his shitty life, and he's starting to question why he's fighting so viciously for a life he doesn't want. But then there's Steve: stupid, dumb, beautiful, loving Steve. And then he remembers the thread that's holding him all together, why he keeps going when it'd be easier to give in and die; it's what everyone else seems to want.
"I'd never go against you. Never again," Steve asserts firmly, and after a hesitant moment, he pulls Billy in for a hug. His arms wrap around Billy completely, and Billy holds on as best as he can.
Holding him now, Billy struggles to not think of them as before and after images, before being a picture of when they hated one another's guts and after which is a snapshot of now, how much they depend on one another as they held onto each other. What a fucking weird story.
Or in which Billy is self-destructing in plain sight and Steve just happens to be one of the few people who notice.

Summary
Summer of '85 is gearing up to be good, great even, their best summer yet. There's no beach, sure, and Hawkins continues to pale in comparison to the California Billy feels thrumming in his blood, but it's got a few good things going for it. Billy cups them all in in his hands delicately, like their bright flame could flicker out at any sudden breeze.
Good things have a tendency to crumble into ash, you see, and Billy really doesn't want that to happen with this.

Summary
Billy only touched with purpose.
He usually hid it fairly well, never came off as needy and never indicated that he was even desiring a touch-mate. While he was never the first to offer a handshake, he never turned them down unless intending to insult. Billy didn’t turn away from pats on the shoulder nor did he cringe away from bodies jostling against him. Really, the harmless social faux-pas might have gone unnoticed if not for one key piece of evidence: Billy Hargrove had a signature move.
It was a move he used from the very moment he showed up on the school grounds. It was a move he used whenever he had the chance and on all the girls he met - the girls that caught his eye and the ones he merely interacted with in class.
It seemed with any excuse he could find, Billy touched a girl’s face.
Or - Operating in a world where the first touch of a palm or shoulder - or lips - can bring about a remarkable change to a person’s life isn’t easy as many would like it to be. Especially when the change is often impossible to hide and always irrevocable.

Summary
Billy froze for a moment, still reeling from hitting his head that hard, but still lucid enough to know something was very wrong. After a second of blinking away the pain, he pressed up curiously again with both hands, and again he found himself touching something hard and grainy. Wood maybe? But that couldn’t be right. He moved slightly and found that his whole body was knocking into equally hard corners from head to toe. A wooden box. Huh. It was almost like - like-
God he was in a coffin.
Buried alive.
Fuck.
