Summary
*spoilers for season 4, volume 2*
A lot can happen in two days. Steve’s just trying to get Robin, Nancy and Dustin back home safe and unharmed, but a quake separates them, and now Steve’s stuck in the Upside-Down, trying to stay alive and find a way out.
He's not as alone as he thinks.

A rewrite of the season finale, because like a lot of you, I do not accept it.

Summary
"One of us has to fall," he muttered to himself. It sounded like something that ought to be questioned, but he couldn’t help but feel weary of questions now. This was what he wanted, wasn’t it? For Aziraphale to go back to who he was before? "If… if he's erased from the Book of Life, will I… will I forget him?"
"Would you want to?" the Metatron had asked, with surprising kindness. He shook his head violently in response. "Then no, he is already deeply woven into your story. That is the way it must be. Think of it as penance for your sins. Your Aziraphale will be lost forever, but in doing this, you will save him from damnation."
"And damn myself, instead," he'd muttered.
Crowley isn't taking Aziraphale's move very well and Muriel has questions. Lots of questions. Crowley decides it's finally time he started talking.

Summary
“Is it too much to ask that you remain sober for five fucking minutes?” Yennefer demands, tossing the bottle away. It smashes on the floor and he flinches again.
He considers her question, then chuckles darkly.
“What do you care, witch?” He bites, taking a small modicum of glee at the flash of hurt he sees in those purple eyes. “What do any of you care? ‘Oh, Jaskier, we need you! Jaskier, smuggle me out with the elves. Jaskier, tell me all about my ex! Take Ciri to Kaer Morhen. Take this rock to Geralt. Jump!’ Why, of course, good friends, but tell me how high?”
He paces his room, avoiding the broken clay shards on the floor.
“I have spent my very being helping you, and Geralt, and Ciri and the dwarves and all of the Witchers in this keep, and not a one of you, not a single FUCKING one of you thought to comment on THIS?” he raged, fury raising his voice as he lifted his right hand and brought it right in front of Yennefer's face.

Summary
“You know, it’s a damn shame we’re fugitives now,” Sam comments, shifting to lean slightly towards him, like he’s about to impart something highly confidential. “Back home, I’ve got a boat of my own. A real beauty. Needs fixin’ up, here and there, but who doesn’t? My sister and I inherited it from my parents, but we haven’t found the time or cash to fix it up.” Sam turns back to the viewscreen, looking out at the clouds sailing past with an expression that looked almost sad. The corners of Sam’s lips quirk up slightly in a knowing and fond smile, but the shining gleam like dancing fireflies is absent from those coffee coloured eyes.
It’s becoming more apparent the longer he speaks to Sam that the other man wears almost as many masks as he does.

Canon divergence - Bucky aids Steve in freeing team Cap from the Raft. During their trip back to Wanda, Bucky takes the chance to talk to Sam, and finds a lot more to the man than snark and sarcasm.
If only he just took care of his own damn self instead of worrying about others all the time.

Summary
He thinks about whether or not to tell her about Bucky. Sarah has been on his ass about getting back in the dating game and it might be just a crumb, but she’d back off a little. But then again, he’s not exactly sure where he and Bucky stand right now and he’s sure he’ll get his ass handed to him if he admits he basically moved in with a stranger when he lost his memories.
Or, what happens following Sam and Bucky’s week in Austria. Sam and Bucky reluctantly parted ways, however when the Sokovian Accords are drafted and the press conference is held in Vienna, Sam figures it's the perfect opportunity to invite Bucky back to their safehouse for some time together.
The German authorities, Iron Patriot and a Wakandan Prince have other ideas.

Summary
Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.
Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.
So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.
Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.

Summary
Robin snapped her fingers in front of his face, causing him to startle violently.
"Steve, are you even listening to me?" she asked, her expression twisted in clear annoyance.
Steve sighed, turning in his seat so he could get a better look at her mouth. Honestly, he was trying to drive. Couldn't she wait to talk until they got to work?
Or: Steve Harrington has lost the majority of his hearing. He just forgot to tell people about it.
