Summary
Will watches the clock quietly. He’s entranced by it, the soft ticking, the gentle back-and-forth of the pendulum. He thinks it wouldn’t be too hard to look away, he just doesn't want to. It’s something that’s almost comforting. He’s had to live through a thousand lifetimes of the Upside Down’s monsters, cobwebs, and mucus. He’s grateful that this time, it’s sent him something familiar.
It reminds him of the clock in his old house. The one that belonged to his father. Vecna’s clock has the same untouchable air to it, a magnetic field that both repelled Will, and pulled him towards it.
The Upside Down has always had that effect on him. He hates it. Will hates it with every bone in his body. It’s stolen him, his childhood, his friends, his body, and now his mind. He thinks there’s always some of it inside him, and it’s not as easy to kill as those stupid slugs that clogged up his throat. Now and then, he thinks he’s stamped it out. When he does that, it’s always a little easier to stay warm.
It never lasts. A chill runs through his spine, then a cough bubbles from his chest, and he’s back.
And this time, there’s a clock.
(Or, the story of Will, Vecna's newest target)

Summary
Bobby was prepared for a lot of things. He needs to be able to take care of his idiot. As dumb as Reggie can be sometimes, his boyfriend is “his” idiot, and he loves him to death.
So, he keeps what seems like a billion picks with him. God knows Reggie loses his at least twice a rehearsal. Bobby knows that things will eventually go wrong, so he makes sure he’s ready for it. He just doesn’t know how wrong things will go.
Bobby just isn’t sure how to prepare for this. There’s no amount of guitar picks that can help now. Not when Reggie is lying down, unmoving.A Boggie song fic based on “Arms Tonite” by Mother Mother

Summary
Reggie Peters’ life told through snapshots. From death, to family issues, to romance.
A rewrite (kind of?) of my first fic, Back To Black. I loved the concept, but hated the writing.
