Purveyor of Fine Cosmic Bussy

I've now talked so much about my posted fics that I have a decent number of director's commentary posts. So I figured I'd make a list for them, since I sometimes make the blog unsearchable, and stick it in my pinned post. I think I probably missed some because I'm bad about remembering to tag, but oh well. This is a good sample.

Huh. We're thinking of the same Tamagotchi, right? The little digital pet things?

Paradox is the closest to finished (and it's the only posted one because I foolishly tried to write and post at the same time). The others are fully plotted but, uh, need a lot of writing time.

Altered States is the "Will gets whammied to an AU where his life sucks" one (check the tag if you're interested) (it's gen but technically AU! Jonathan has a thing with AU!Chrissy)

Operation Barb is the one where college era Nancy gets whammied back in time to her fourteen-year-old body and discovers that try as you might, you can't change the past (she finally forgives herself for Barb and repairs her relationship with Jonathan in the present)

That Lonnie & Will one where they go shooting because Lonnie is so irritated by Jonathan taking care of Will and Lonnie (a) spends the whole time picking apart everything Will does and pumping him for dirt on Joyce and Jonathan and (b) gets bored halfway through anyway

The one where Will forages for mushrooms in the woods his senior year, has a weird trip that brings up his unresolved UD trauma, is guided through it by El (who has experience with mind-altering drugs because of her horrifying past), and kisses Mike

The one where he develops a wonky kind of telepathy after S1

This other one where he can see ghosts after S2

A different one where he doesn't get powers but the party is discussing which superpowers they would want and he's all "well, I'd like a force field or healing powers, maybe" and Jonathan overhears it and gets really sad about why Will would jump right for the power to be able to protect people he cares about while his friends are all about flying or morphing or whatever

This quiet oneshot where Joyce and Jonathan both keep checking in on him at night while they think he's asleep and then they run into each other in the hallway and he just quietly reflects on how fucked up their relationship is and the role he plays within the family and with each of them individually (Diaphysis because I think I'm clever)

Altered States, that ambitious one where Will gets whammied into an AU where he was raised by Lonnie, ended up in foster care, and is now being cared for by Jonathan, who's way more fucked up in this world

Saint Will, where he explores his queerness and sexuality in NYC (the one someone prompted because I was all "let him fuck!")

Noctcaelador, the S5 timeskip one where he's trying to gently approach Dustin through his grief while they're setting up the van

The one where he gets high with Nancy and they have a proper conversation for maybe the first time

Rainy Day, which is kind of about his relationship with Jonathan but also about Vecna trying to destroy him by destroying his important relationships

This one between S1 & S2 where Joyce's overprotectiveness is starting to reveal itself

A couple of miscellaneous please don't wake me oneshots

A few fucked up ones (including Safelight, that one where a rumor goes around town that Jonathan abused Will in the woods in a satanic ritual in S1 and it unravels both of their lives, and Altar, where his PTSD, survivor's guilt, and crushing internal pressure to succeed have driven him to some very risky behavior involving drugs and sex but he's like no I'm fine what do you mean I'm depressed, my grades are great and I have a gallery show coming up) + some miscellaneous ones not worth cataloguing

The kid looks like porcelain every time Lonnie sees him. Like those fancy little figurines Joyce’s batshit aunt had collected on her mantel, but not the fat, solid cherubs with the rosy cheeks and dopey grins—the fine, almost ghostly ones, translucent and sharp, that gave him the creeps. Always so small and pale and breakable, this kid; none of that stringiness of youth, the gristle that Lonnie remembers being made of at that age, the sinew he’s seen in Jonathan when he pushes hard enough. Now, Jonathan: that’s a kid with a skin he can toughen. Who can one day be leathered and sturdy, not so fragile and transparent like his little brother. He’d been on that path, for a stretch, but Lonnie had headed it off like any reasonable man would, and Jonathan was better for it, in the end. Might even thank him one day, if Lonnie can peel him away from his mother’s apron strings. Not that Joyce has ever been the good little homemaker type, of course; her casseroles weren’t what had drawn him to her in the first place. “Joyce learn how to cook yet?” he asks.
