Anonymous asked: I hear you like mutant aus. I propose: Stranger Things Mutant Au
New system, kiddos: when I’m depressed, I’m going to write mutant AUs, because mutant AUs are good. This is the decree. If you want to see a specific one, send me an ask. Also, ha, spot my favorite character, because I’m a fucking unsubtle trainwreck of a writer.
No one has mutant abilities at the beginning, you see. Mutants are the stuff of comic books and stories, like Superman or magic or the Demigorgon. So it’s four kids playing Dungeons and Dragons and four teenagers trying to figure out how to game the system enough to survive high school and a pair of adults fighting to keep their heads above water, and they are all—for a given value—perfectly normal.
And then things start to happen. And Eleven…well, she has a whole host of mutant powers, kickstarted by the drugs her mother took or by the experiments done on her or by the Upside Down. Telekinesis, radio wave manipulation, dimensional travel—the whole gamut.
