    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    ‘You know, now that I think about it, I think Cooper Howard might have been my first ever, honest-to-goodness crush.’
    He considers getting up and leaving. He considers burning the trailer down with them both inside it. Maybe he’d let the dog out first, if he was feeling charitable. Anything to get her to shut the fuck up.

     

    Lucy is determined to piss off the Ghoul. She succeeds.

    Summary

    “Aren’t you cold, Will?” Mike keeps going, studying his face. “You’re always cold.” He doesn’t even wait for an answer.

    “Here, give me your hands,” he says quickly, already holding his own out toward Will. “I’ll warm them.” He looks at Will a second too intensely, like this matters far more than it should. Robin snorts quietly.

    “Oh, thanks Mike,” Will says, flustered. “I’m okay, but maybe—” he fumbles with his coat pockets, distracted, searching for something, finally pulling out a pair of blue gloves. “You might need these. You can have mine.”

    or; Mike is painfully obvious about his feelings for Will, yet he’s convinced no one has noticed; no one at all, except for Robin Buckley.

    Summary

    In his almost 17 years being alive, Will has learned many things. Very high on that list is that there’s a fine line between “best friend” and “something more.”

    Michael Wheeler uses that line like a fucking jump rope.

    “You… wish I had saved just you?”

    Summary

    Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore." 

    And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?" 

    There’s a long lapse of silence, and then – 

    “Can you come up here?” 

    In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    “Did I say somethin' bad?” asks Hikaru.

    “N-no,” says Yoshiki.

    “Do you not like my body, or somethin’?”

    “No,” says Yoshiki, more firmly this time.

    “Oh. So you do?”

    Or: Hikaru ponders what it means to have a body with Yoshiki's unwitting help.

    Summary

    It's weird to think about, but you've probably got a better understanding of how the human body works than how your own does. Your body makes the most sense to you when you're using it to form concrete shapes: Hikaru's appearance; the heart that pumps the blush over your cheeks and nose; the lungs that hold the breath that carries your voice; the xiphoid process that you broke and gave away. You don't need any of them to live — sometimes you forget to create them, and sometimes you choose not to — but each is a vessel for understanding and a vessel through which you're understood.

    But really, you're a swirling mass of something. A wound inflicted upon you closes because you want it to. You could sink to the bottom of the ocean and the pressure of its depths would crush you before you could convince yourself to drown; even then, you would exist.

    If you mix a little bit, it makes sense that you could reach in and fix Yoshiki, too.

    Or: Hikaru deduces a quick way to help Yoshiki sober up.

    Note added 10/27/25: This fic is not abandoned! I'm still working on it I'm just busy. It will be done by the end of the year.

    Summary

    He whispers into that small space between them. Warm and still. “…Why’d you really follow me here?” 

    “You know why,” ‘Hikaru’ murmurs, voice lowering as it seeps into the air, drugging and hazy, and he’s hovering oh so close to Yoshiki that he can feel the fan of warmth against his lips. 

    Yeah, he does know.

    Stop this.
     
    A low, caustic laugh is let out by Yoshiki. Unbidden. As if he can’t believe what he’s allowing to happen.

    Something worse than the monster ‘Hikaru’ is. 

    A sin.
     
    And yet there’s not a single inch of Yoshiki that would turn down the chance to go up in flames in hell at this moment—not if it meant going with the one person determined to light the fire.

    or: Yoshiki wants and 'Hikaru' is willing to give, no matter the circumstance

    Summary

    He's getting good at spotting it as soon as the door opens. With one glance he can see if Alan remembers.
    Or if it's just a lingering feeling of déjà vu.
    If it's surprise about a new but friendly face in the Dark Place or relief to see him again. If it's the latter he usually breaks into a smile, tired yet honest and sometimes cracks a joke or settles for a small and soft “Hi, Tim” that after a few times he realizes he likes too much. Too much for what they have. For what this is: A dream, a distraction, just a way not to be lonely.

    Summary

    “Hey Yoshiki, ya ever kissed someone?”

    The thing that it's not Hikaru anymore says. It has gotten so close, its breath mixing with his own. Yoshiki wants to run away. He wants to laugh, to scream. He wants to cry. He wants to stay. He doesn't move.

    Summary

    ‘Hikaru’ has an odd request.

    His eyebrows knit with confusion. “Dance? When have you ever wanted to dance?”

    Because Hikaru had never said anything like that. Ever. In fact, if Yoshiki brought up dancing, Hikaru probably would’ve asked him if he was thinking of taking up figure skating next.

    ‘Hikaru’ smiles sheepishly. “It seems fun. I wanted to at least try it!” And he looks so hopeful that Yoshiki’s heart clenches. It’d be cruel to turn him down, right?

    Summary

    The thing is, sometimes– oftentimes Hikaru feels the primordial urge to split Yoshiki into half. To tenderly rip out his beating heart and consume that pure, beautiful soul so unlike his own.

    But if only Yoshiki would grant Hikaru a forever place beside him, then maybe that would be enough.

    Summary

    Self-control has always been a challenge for Eddie. All his life he’s been impulsive, overzealous, impatient. Sometimes he thinks that shame is the only thing standing between him and ruin.

    “You should buy that,” Venom remarks one day, peering at an endcap display through Eddie's eyes.

    Eddie glances around before replying under his breath. “I’m not buying women’s underwear.” He says firmly.

    Summary

    He doesn't even give Tyrell the chance to speak before he's grabbing him by the lapels of his overpriced suit, pulling him inside, kicking the door closed, and slamming him against it. The force of it causes Elliot’s hoodie to fall from his head.

    Elliot hears the surprised grunt of pain Tyrell releases and marvels in it. A bit of discomfort is the least he deserves for what he’s put him through these last 12 hours.

    "Where the fuck have you been?" Elliot questions heatedly, taken aback by his own deadly tone of voice.
