    Summary

    She doesn’t know how she got here.

    Lying on the floor with every inch of her body aching. The scent of vomit in her nose. Lips trembling and tasting like sick.

    John B lies in front of her and pretends not to smell the death on her breath. He just watches her with those eyes – the ones that had always gotten him everything. Dates at The Boneyard. Extra attention from teachers. Even a crush from Kie once.

    JJ would have done anything for those eyes. Would have given anything. And did, a mean little voice whispers to her.

    She doesn’t know how she got here either.

    In a world without JJ. In a world without the fucking sun.

    OR

    Following Morocco, the Pogues come home one short. While the rest of the island seems to be moving forward, Kiara finds herself standing still in a world haunted by the boy she lost. (AKA, the slowest of slow burn fix-its)

    Summary

    It was probably a bad idea, agreeing to leave Kildare. Even if it's temporary.

    JJ tries not to live with regret, he really does, but as he weaves through campus on a Friday night, he can’t help but wonder what the hell he’s doing here.

    ----

    Or, JJ thinks he's dropping off a delivery and picks up more than he's bargained for.

    Summary

    Moving in with JJ Maybank was never part of the plan. She was supposed to be independent by now, in college working toward a degree in environmental engineering, maybe somewhere in California, or even Hawaii. But she’s not. She’s still stuck on Kildare, working at the Wreck and daydreaming about a life beyond the Outer Banks. She can’t pinpoint exactly where she went wrong, where The Plan failed and she fucked up enough to land here, in a shitty fishing shack on the marsh with a guy named Jesse fucking James, paying rent to Sarah Cameron’s boyfriend and still working at her parent’s restaurant, nearly two years out of high school with no future and no plan for one.
    ------
    a roommate AU in which Kiara was never friends with the Pogues until after high school and thus is still finding out who she is and where she belongs. Alternatively; what is home, and where will she find it?

    Summary

    As always, life had a way of throwing unexpected surprises toward Will; whether it be improvements or outright cruel things that made his life much worse than it had to be.

    And for Will, he doesn't really know when life became worse— can't remember when it all started. As a matter of fact, he can't really remember much of anything, just that his life had become an unhinged mess of chaos that had gotten out of control; out of HIS control.

    Now, there are suddenly two eighteen year old boys in the middle of his chaos. Great, just great.

    Or

    After a massive fight, 18 year old Will and Mike are thrown into a future where friendship no longer exists and Will's mind is fractured beyond repair. Now, they have to find a way back home to prevent this from ever happening.

    Summary

    Will had never really talked about his time in the Upside Down before. Dustin had tried asking, once, but fortunately, Mike had shut it down before Will had even gotten the chance to refuse. It was a relief, at the time, to deny those awful memories the opportunity to come to light. There was a finality to it-like admitting what had happened to him would make it real.

    "I also hid," Will said. "For a long time."

    "In a memory?" Lucas asks cautiously.

    Will starts to shake his head no, then tilts his head. "Sort of. Not really. In Castle Byers."

    Or:

    The Party wakes up in a real-life version of Castle Byers. Inside of Will’s mind.
