Summary
"You're telling me you all haven't learned how to defend yourselves. In a class, called Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Basically, Professor Chase. Almost all of our last DADA teachers have fallen on the more murderous side," a boy in blue said forlornly. "I think it's because of Harry Potter. They really do like trying to kill him." The class murmured in agreement.
It took everything in Annabeth to not stare at them aghast. She really needed to teach Dumbledore what a background check was.
--
Annabeth Chase is issued a quest and she wants to scream. Quest? Could she even call it a quest? Either way, while learning magic and teaching a bunch of mini-wizard students simultaneously was not on her winter break agenda, she still took it on without complaint, intent on completing it as efficiently as possible.
However, it turns out the Wizarding World is horrendously incompetent and perhaps a tad bit fucked up, and Annabeth knows she can never say no to a challenge. She rebuilt Olympus -- how hard could rebuilding an entire magical society be?

Summary
The blonde girl slipped through the door and smiled pitifully at the teacher. “Sorry, we’re late, I just had to show a new student around.”
The teacher nodded understandingly, “I was just about to introduce myself--” he frowned. “We?”
The door slammed open, hitting the wall adjacent to it, opposed to how Kayla had just slid silently into the classroom. The classroom spun a little as Benjy stared at the person standing in the doorway and... what? He took a moment to squint because there was no way that was-- holy shit it was.
Because standing there, from the pair of his faded pink Converse shoes to his ruffled black hair was Percy fucking Jackson.
~ Percy Jackson returns, but instead of facing monsters, he has to deal with high school drama, past friends, and the worst of all, acne.

Summary
It is January of 1994 and the Hogwarts population could not have chosen a worser way to start the year.
"They saw the ghostly bodies fall to the floor, thudding like pieces in a game of chess. They saw the Hogwarts ties hanging around the neck among most of them, like nooses ready for the execution. The House patches on the fronts of their robes bare reminders of the war that would kill them all, whether it be Gryffindor or Slytherin, or Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Why couldn't they realize what it meant?"
~ an interlude, in which after seeing the battle of hogwarts, the wizarding world processes what it all means

Summary
“This shouldn’t even be possible,” she muttered staring up at the high cavern and the dozens of spirits surrounding her. He grinned, his hollowed eye sockets boring into her soul, “Welcome to the Underworld.”
Nancy Bobofit was quite unremarkable in her short, insignificant life. Well, of course, there was always Percy Jackson. Sometimes closure can come from the most surprising places, even after death.

Summary
"They all seemed to be mid-movement, eyes hardened, with concentration and determination. More than a good quarter of the holograms were Hogwarts students, decked out in their uniforms, looking as if they came straight out of class. Some of the adults looked like they were from the Ministry, but some were in the midst of a duel with some students, while others were stunning the black hooded figures."
"A sign flashed over the bodies, making the situation even worse. May 2nd, 1998."
---
In which in the midst of being hunted by the infamous murderer (and Azkaban escapee), Sirius Black, Harry Potter witnesses a part of the Battle of Hogwarts with the rest of the Hogwarts population
OR
In which an author struggles to write a good title.

one of your girls (or your homies) by greenpill (vilexxa)

Summary
“So you had an… attitude,” she eyes him carefully, “with Will. Because you were mad that… girls talk to him?”
Mike swallows. Okay, he knows how it sounds, but he swears it’s not like that. El is just too blunt for her own good sometimes. She’s not seeing the bigger picture here.
Fuck, Mike doesn’t even know what the hell ‘the bigger picture’ is, either. He really has no excuse for himself.
; Will’s been getting a lot of romantic attention from the girls at Hawkins High lately, but it’s whatever. Everything is fine. Mike doesn’t even care. He deals with it. (He doesn’t)

Summary
An accident leaves Mike without four years of memories. He wakes up convinced that it's 1989, that Bush is the new President, and that his time at college in Boston has only just begun.
But it's 1994. There's a new President. He lives in New York.
And somehow, he shares an apartment with Will Byers.
Or: An Amnesia AU.

Summary
“Will?” Confusion seeps into Jonathon’s voice.
“No," Mike wants to say, “Not at all, I’m not Will, I can’t be Will, I haven’t even seen Will for so long. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Why does it have to happen like this?”
But as he scans the room and lands on a mirror, he finds himself staring into the hazel eyes of none other than Will Byers. His mouth drops open, but it’s all wrong, because his mouth has never looked like that before in his life, all plush and—
Well. It’s just wrong.
Or: in early 1986, Mike and Will wake up in each other's bodies, halfway across the country from their homes, families, and everything else that was becoming familiar during their time apart.

Summary
“I’m just so proud of you, baby.” He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders- which is ridiculous, he’s ridiculous for thinking that she would be anything but proud. Nonetheless, he feels relieved. He smiles, fiddling with his fingers again.
“It’s really nothing.” He says, “Mike keeps talking about how they’re innate but…but they’re not. They’re siphoned, from Vecna.” The mention of his name makes Joyce’s eyes go wide.
“Well, last I checked no one else can do that.” She shrugs, her eyes still wide. Will chuckles, looking at the floor, “Hey, all I’m saying is that I think you need to have a little more trust in yourself.” She leans forward, putting a hand on his cheek. He leans into it, into the warmth of her hand, “You didn’t fail, okay?” She says, and he nods, even though he doesn’t really believe it, “You saved Mike- all your friends. You did that, baby.” She shakes her head, “Not Vecna, just you.”
Will can feel himself tearing up for about the millionth time that night, “I can make it right.” He settles on, “We just need a new plan, a better plan.”
Right, a better plan. Easier said than done.

Summary
Mike doesn't remember much of the final battle against Vecna, but he quickly finds out nothing is as it seems — and it hasn't been for a long time.
Or a post-S5 volume 2 fix-it fic where monsters are lurking around an abandoned Hawkins, Vecna is nowhere to be found, and Mike has no idea how they can stop the world from ending.
