OR: Mike wants to fake-date Will (under the guise of making El jealous) in a stupid attempt to make him stay in Hawkins and not move to New York. -

Summary
It's the summer following the first Christmas Michael and his family welcomed David and "the boys" into their home. About a year since they teamed up to take down Max. Michael's mother throws him a spectacular graduation party at his grandpa's house. He's made a lot of school friends, even if they might not know him as well as they suspect.
Besides his family and Star, however, the only other guests he really wants to see are the guys-- well, specifically, David. As it happens, David pulled some strings to give Michael a night on the town he'll never forget. Don't wait up, Mama Emerson.
(No rating or archive warnings because I'm not sure yet how wild the night will become. But I am leaning toward "no archive warnings apply," at least)

A Study in Unreachability by outrageousboulefart

Summary
"You are a ghost in a city full of people, and yet, I can't seem to stop looking for you."
University life is a study in deceptive peace—a sanctuary of lecture halls where you navigate the "slightly messy" drama of youth. But beneath the collegiate fluff, the air is never truly still.
You move with an unaware grace, the centerpiece of a game you pretend to not yet know how to play. Caleb, Sylus, Zayne, Rafayel, and Xavier are the five constants in your orbit. To you, they are friends and fixtures; to them, you are the mystery that must be solved before the sanctuary of the university fails.
As study years bleed into the reality of working life, the safety of their student days begins to fray. The transition into adulthood shifts the stakes, turning protectors into rivals and "fluff" into high-stakes survival.
The university is where they watch you from the shadows. The future is where they must finally face you in the light. In this slow-burn exploration of proximity and secrets, the real work is only just beginning.

Summary
“There are a few boxes of El’s old clothes, back at the Cabin,” Will says. “My mom and Hop should both be at work by now. I think – I think most of her stuff would probably fit me…”

Will needs girl clothes, and there happens to be a bunch in his own home that aren't being used.
“Okay,” Mike says calmly. His eyes are fixated on the floor, refusing to meet Will’s.
“Yeah?” He needs to make sure. Mike looks up at him then, and his eyes are glossy but certain.
“Yeah,” he confirms.
In which a summer bucket list and Will Byers waking up as a girl version of himself finally causes Mike Wheeler to realize his feelings for his best friend. Set post-S5 finale. Summer after graduation.

Summary
“Okay.” Mina blurted out. “You know what? We’re just going to say it.”
Katsuki refused to look up, so he just waited.
“We think you have a crush.”
The word settled into the room with an almost physical weight: Crush. So adolescent and harmless.
It sounded absurd in Mina’s pink bedroom, under fairy lights, with Bakugou Katsuki sinking into a beanbag like it had swallowed his spine. The heat under his skin pulsed once, hard, like it had been waiting for that exact moment to reveal itself.
“We’re not saying it’s a bad thing.” Kirishima stepped in. “Just that maybe you don’t have to fight it like it’s a villain. You know?”
Katsuki lifted his head then.
“Fight what.”
Mina tilted her head to the side and bit her lips before she spoke.
“The fact that you look at him like you’re either about to punch him or kiss him.”OR
After UA graduation, the Bakusquad are working as underpaid sidekicks and are forced into sharing a loft. Izuku is getting his teaching license nearby, he keeps showing up for reasons unknown, and absolutely does not live there. Bakugou Katsuki is not handling this very well. A Love Story.

Summary
00 : 00 : 00 ...
There was a flicker of light in bold emerald optics. One that often filled the darkest room with an immeasurable amount of hope. A light that flickered, dulling like a dimmer switch that had been turned in one fluid motion from max to off. Such a soft sob that sounded past a busted lip, swollen and bloody. That lone tear trailing over a cheek, painted red. Another soft sob sounded with each jostle of his frame against the cold concrete. The pressure that pinned his head, part of his neck, was suffocating. Kacchan... A mantra that played over and over like the end of a filmstrip that grained to black and white before ripping from it's reel to clatter to the floor...
An attempt, green trails of light flaring up around his form that puttered out before they even became something more than a whisp of smoke...

Summary
“And who are you, again?”
“Fushiguro Megumi, special inspector,” the man said sharply. “Do you realize how stupid you all were? You could have been killed. Do what you’re told next time.”
“People were killed,” Yuji said and gestured to the swaying ceiling above them. “If anyone else was going to die, it would have been while we were stuck waiting for you to get here. What are you even inspecting for?”
“...Pests.”
“...Pests?”
“Yes.”
-
Or, in a world where Itadori Wasuke never died, Yuji has been working as a firefighter, blissfully unaware of curses. He takes care of his grandfather, helps out around the neighborhood, and saves cats from trees in a quiet corner of Sendai.
Megumi, on the other hand, is tired of the jujutsu world. When he comes across a young man too good to be true, he falls for him. And Megumi is perfectly happy keeping Yuji in the dark about jujutsu to preserve their small slice of normalcy.
However, Kenjaku never planned on letting Sukuna's Vessel live in peace forever. Soon enough, his plans would come together, and no meddling sorcerers were going to stand between him and his tools.

Summary
"What you should do is come spend the summer with me."
The suggestion came in loud, cutting his words short as well as grabbing everyone's attention. Although Lucas had just offered something similar, the words didn't seem to hold the same weight coming from Mike. Will's heart picked up as his eyes landed on the boy, who seemed oblivious to the sudden shift in the air. He was met with this familiar gaze — the one that made him feel like he was the only one in the room —, intense, focused, but also incredibly genuine. The others exchanged looks that Will couldn't quite decipher as Mike kept going.
"I mean I'd love to have you there."Or : After graduation, Will is set to spend a pretty lonely summer as his friends all have plans of their own. That is, until Mike suggests they stick together.

This work is part of a dual-perspective project.
Mike's POV, "Life is a Race", will also work as a standalone fic, and will be posted once ABR is complete.
