A King's Blessing by malvolioapologist

Summary
By all rights, he should have healed by now. He should have. Something was very, very wrong. He needed to find someone who knew elves and their bodies, he needed Aragorn. Legolas pressed on through the halls and into the caves on unsteady legs that once possessed inhuman agility. He stumbled more than once, fighting to regain his footing as he scanned the faces surrounding him. Wizened human, elven soldier, curly-headed hobbit, none of them could help him. None of them were– “ Estel .” His friend’s face swam into sharp relief, and Legolas pitched forward as the world around him went grey, then white, then black as a starless sky.

Summary
“Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”
Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.
“I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”
When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.
Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.
Probably.

Summary
And Octavius's got that distant look in his eyes. Jedediah remembers - it's the same look he had when they'd stumbled, one foot in front of the other, leaning on each other as they fought their way back to the museum after crashing into snow taller than themselves; the same look when Jedediah had tumbled out of the hourglass, seconds away from death, and then again when he'd enveloped Octavius in a bone-crushing hug, too giddy from their victory to really process the bursting ache in his heart; and then, when they'd said their final goodbyes, quiet words and half-hidden feelings even while alone in a museum so accustomed to life.
And damn him, because when Jedediah thinks about it like that, he must be crazier than a bessie bug to have not realized it earlier.or: in which Jedediah gets darted - and it turns out to be quite the enlightening experience.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
…
It’s been nearly a year since Will Byers spent a week trapped in another world. In that year, everything and nothing has changed for the handful of people in Hawkins, Indiana, who share an unbelievable secret. The Wheelers have learned the truth, the Byers have found a community, and El is starting to build a new life with her friends – a life she never imagined could be possible.
But not everything is peaceful in sleepy Hawkins. Envy and misunderstanding have put cracks throughout the Party, and the arrival of a new potential friend – or rival – is about to force them wide open. Nancy’s determination to bring the truth to light is causing conflict among her friends – as are the complicated feelings between them. A secret Joyce and Hopper have been keeping from El is about to come out, with disastrous results. And Will has started having nightmares of the Upside Down. While he’s wide awake.
And beneath it all, all but unnoticed, an otherworldly corruption is spreading…

Summary
He finds it thrilling to fight Jedediah like this, to tear into each other until they’re both panting messes, hair disheveled and skin blossoming with purple bruises. Octavius subconsciously loves the small in-betweens where they catch their breath. Having Jedediah laid out before him, shirt rumpled and red handkerchief skewed out of place. He feels an almost possessive pride seeing the marks they leave on each other, claiming one another, even in the name of rivalry. For what is hatred, if not a twisted form of fascination?
tldr someone on tumblr said jedtavius makes more sense as bitter exes and i haven't stopped thinking about it since
