    Summary

    POV: Shane & Ilya's eldest son Max, years after canon, as his relationship with his best friend begins to unravel.
    //

    The last week before college was supposed to be about goodbyes.

    Instead, Max spends it chasing a conversation with the boy who's been by his side for almost his entire life.

    //or

    Max didn't know what to say either. There was too much to say. So much, that the both of them would probably say the wrong thing.

    “I can't talk right now, okay,” he said quietly. “I think I just need some space.”

    “Do you hate me now?” asked Seth.

    Summary

    There's a new late night radio host on the squawk - the only thing? No one knows who it is, not even the party.
    Who is it talking to Hawkins in the dead of night? And who's his friend that keeps calling in?

    He's tired of everything the way it is - so instead of dealing with his problems, he's decided to vent about them on the radio instead of sleeping. No one knows who he is, not even his friends. He reckons he'll be dead before he lets them find out who he is.

    Summary

    Through the intense ringing in his ears, Mike registers footsteps pounding down the hallway. The door slams open and the light is flicked on. Someone crashes to their knees beside Mike, pulling him away from the ground and into their arms. Mike thrashes weakly, chest still hitching with sobs, but it’s more painful this time.

    He just has to purge himself of his sins.

    Yes yes yes. Purge himself. He has to- he has to purge himself.

    -- OR --

    Vecna's Curse doesn't leave Mike once he gets to California. He's suffering, but hey – at least he gets kissed.
