    Summary

    The girl keeps humming a song. That song. That goddamn song. She says it's her brother's favorite, he always sings it to her before they go to sleep, so Mike feels every bit like an asshole for wanting her to shut her mouth.

    "Okay, sweetheart, can you tell us who you're looking for?" Joyce says, standing just a little closer to her than Hopper is. It's a good choice. "You mentioned a-a sister and a brother, can you tell us their names?"

    She stops humming. She meets Joyce's eyes for a second — for even less than that, Mike thinks — and pins her gaze back down.

    "Kid," Hopper sighs, taking off his hat and rubbing that one spot on his head. "I can't help you if you don't—"

    "Will and Barb." She says quietly, but it feels like a bomb had dropped in the police station.

    Joyce and Mike look at each other, and Mike shakes his head. Now's not the time to get wrapped up in their own shit.

    "Okay. Will and Barb. Last name?"

    "Byers and Holland."

    (or, alternatively, they may have buried a body, but no one ever checked if they buried a heart)

    Summary

    Panic begins to run through his veins, speeding up his pulse and his breathing. “I can’t– why don’t I remember it? I don’t remember any of it.”

    Mike blanches. “Any of what, Will?”

    Jonathan’s hand is on his knee. Both of them are too close. He can’t breathe.

    “The Upside Down. I… I can’t remember any of the Upside Down.”

    Summary

    Albus Severus Potter was a squib. He always was the middle child, the slip-into-the-background child, and this just confirmed it. Or at least, it should have done.

    Because being sent into the muggle world for his own well-being, of course in true Potter fashion, was going to blow up in his face. There are monsters out for blood and a bunch of kids who need protecting from them, and it looks like Albus is the only man for the job. As the danger grows slowly out of anyone's control, more of Albus' loved ones get drawn into it.

    It's going to be okay though. The world may be turning upside down, but for the first time in his life, Albus Potter feels right side up.
