    Summary

    “I think I’m pregnant,” she blurts. Her voice isn’t loud, but Kiara swears her words stick to the air itself.

    The silence after is thick, hanging between them as JJ lifts his head. Now, there’s no avoidance, no eyes on the ground, no pretending she’s anyone but her. Instead, his blue eyes – wide in a way that makes him look younger – dart from her face to the arms wrapped around her stomach and back again. In his hand, the cigarette burns lower and lower as the silence lingers between them.

    He opens his mouth. Closes it. Blinks. And, where earlier she’d wished for him to look her in the eye, now she just wishes he would look away.

    JJ takes one shaky step toward her – still favoring his left side – and then jerks his hand with a sharp, “Fuck!”

    He fumbles, tugging at his shirt with one hand and swiping at it with the other. The remnants of the cigarette hit the sand, smoldering out between them as he croaks out, “Like… with a baby?”

    “No, with a fuckin’ puppy,” she bites out before she can stop herself. His brows twist down, forehead creasing in – confusion? hurt? annoyance? – and she hisses, “Yes, dumbass, a baby.”

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler isn't a religious person. He's been through too much to actually believe.

    But then he looks in the mirror. And he sees his frog face, and twig arms, and his stupid continent-sized birthmark, and he knows.

    Someday, this knowledge won't hurt as much. For now though, it's a vice to the heart; a cage to the soul; a prison to the mind.

    It’s a labyrinth, twisting and turning, every new passage a lie, every corner a dead-end, every slope a trap.

    And Mike is never going to escape.

    OR: It's the summer before senior year. Mike Wheeler has a gender identity crisis, Willow Byers almost has a sexuality crisis (she's a lesbian), Max Mayfield is tired of these idiots.

    !! this isn't a straight byler fic okay M just doesn't know she's trans yet !!

    Summary

    Sometimes, Will really, really wishes he could catch a fucking break.
    As if getting dragged into the Upside Down and making everyone rescue him a second time wasn’t bad enough, this time, somehow, Will also leaves the Upside Down with the ability to read people’s minds.
    At least he’s not throwing up slugs this time.

    or;
    Will gets telepathic powers, and can't control them. Through this, he accidentally learns that his best friend is having some less than heterosexual thoughts.
    The only problem is he doesn't seem to know he's having them.
