jonathan’s known this kid since he was five; he doesn’t hate him

I was having a normal day. A day I could focus at work.

Would you mind sharing y'alls favorite ONE SHOTS? Anything under 20K or so because I'm about to be working LONGASS DAYS for the next 4 weeks 24/7.

I’m sure some asshats might say “he was being CONTEMPLATIVE!”

Motherfucker, have you SEEN ‘The Thinker’ statue?

CW: LGBTQ+ Struggles

He was just a little bean!

Ted Wheeler thinking his son is gay the whole time.

He just doesn't give a shit. "Our son? With a girl?" "And no sweetie-pie!" (I still feel he thought Mike's gf was another 'I have a gf in Canada' ploy).

He's not the best ally. Hell, most probably wouldn't call him one. (yet...but if any author wants to give him some development, PLEASE DO). He's just glad he doesn't have to worry about teenage pregnancy.

And yeah, he probably has some things to work through AND SHOULD. But Ted Wheeler clocking his son early on is kinda hilarious,

Any Byler fic recs while i walk?

When ST5 came back around, I decided to go ahead and unlock my stories again as the fandom grew. I wanted the works to be available to anyone and everyone who wanted to read them.

Unfortunately, with finding that someone has blatantly stolen excerpts from one of my longest and most popular works, I’m going to go ahead and lock the stories that are solely written by me. Please be aware that you will have to have an AO3 account to read my fics from here on out, and please let anyone else know that if they’re unable to find one of my stories!

The last thing I’ll say is this: fandom spaces are such a special thing. Fanfic writers often have lives outside of this hobby, but we do it out of our own passion for storytelling and our love for the fandom. We create for free and share our stories with the world because we love to do it. I know I have personally spent many hours crafting the stories I share with all of you, and for the plagiarized story in particular, this is one that’s dear to my heart due to it being an exploration of grief. I wrote that story as a way to process what I was feeling in the aftermath of a deeply personal loss and to help people do the same.

To steal another person’s work is unacceptable, and it is a symptom of the larger issue of disrespect that our fandom in particular has for its authors.

It’s okay to be inspired others’ art. It’s okay to create things that are based on the same ideas and themes that are floating around the fandom! But what isn’t okay is taking someone’s work, making a couple small changes, and claiming it as your own.

I feel this is a little kick in the butt/reminder that: Hey. Don’t steal people’s work. Don’t be the person that makes the fandom a toxic place.

It’s not always easy to choose kindness, but it is always an OPTION. (And one we should choose.)

Iceland AU Part 1: Set Up

Okay so. I was at work the other day and it was EXCEPTIONALLY slow to the point where my coworkers started a game of hide and seek.

I instead, because I'm mentally ill, came up with a set up to fixing Stranger Things while keeping it somewhat canon.
