    Summary

    Billy didn’t expect to start spring break by nearly breaking down his neighbors door when he saw flickering lights, he also didn’t expect to find a cheerleader floating and apparently having hallucinations connected to the Upside Down.

    Chrissy didn’t expect that trying to buy drugs from Eddie Munson would wind up with her getting dragged into a world of monsters and gaining a new appreciation for Metallica.

    ————

    Season 4 but Billy has known about the Upside Down since s2 and Heather Holloway was the main Flayed, Jonathan comes to Hawkins for Spring Break and Vecna doesn’t get Chrissy in the trailer.

    Can be read as a standalone, this one won’t be Billy-centric despite him obvs still being incredibly important but all the older teens will get attention here.

    Summary

    When a custody battle needs a miracle, she marries one.

    Aileen Whitmore has spent her whole life surviving men like her father-controlling, cruel, and rich enough to get away with it. By twenty-five, she's a brilliant tech founder, a full-time parent to her thirteen-year-old sister Ingrid and very done with the idea of ever needing anyone.

    Then their grandfather decides he wants custody.

    Her lawyer has one awful, perfect solution:
    a two-parent household, stable and respectable in the public eye.
    Translation: get married. Fast.

    Fortunately, Aileen's friend Tessa - PR guru for Red Bull Racing - has the best possible candidate for a marriage of convenience.

    Unfortunately... it's Max Verstappen - four-time Formula 1 World Champion, media nightmare, and the last person who wants more PR in his life.
    But he despises bullies more... and he's not blind to the fear in Aileen's eyes or the way Ingrid clings to her.

    The deal is simple:
    a love story convincing enough to keep their family together.
    No feelings. No mess. Just safety.

    That plan is perfect.
    Right up until the point they get punched in the face by reality.

    Summary

    “Max, c’mon!” Lando shouted, running ahead into the clearing.

    “Lando, be careful!” Max yelled back, shouldering his bag and picking up the pace. Charles laughed from where he was standing next to Max, eyes trained on the map in his hands. “What’s so funny?” Max asked, face set in a frown and eyes tracking Lando’s every move.

    “Oh, nothing.” When Max gave Charles an annoyed glare he caved. “It’s just that you get so protective when we're out here. Not that you aren’t usually protective. But out here you turn into ‘Mad Max’, always grumbling and frowning.”

    Max scoffed, “I do not,”

    “You so do,” Charles replied, his voice taking on a sing-songy tone.

    “Whatever, let’s just– LANDO!” Max yelled abruptly. Sprinting towards Lando without a second glance towards Charles. Charles quickly followed, not wanting to be left behind and risk running into the Walkers.

    or

    A Zombie apocalypse Au where Lando's a little shit, Max is tired, Charles is sick of their shit, Oscar's trying to keep Max from killing him, and the others are just along for the ride (they're actually being held hostage)

    Summary

    Max really regretted not taking his lunch break earlier. Or sending Lando at twelve, so it would have been his turn now. Then he wouldn’t have had to deal with seeing his childhood rival again, whom he loathed and hated like the pest, but also found really pretty and funny back in the day, or with the emotions that set free in him.

    Or with the fact that Charles didn’t even seem to know who he was anymore…
