Bookmarker's Notes
In short: the ideal fanfiction. Witty, quirky, clever, these are all characteristics that describe the writer of Richie Reloaded, and those traits are embodied here in his brilliant work. Nestled ingeniously throughout are a wide variety of pop culture easter eggs, mostly to classic video/arcade games. These merely enhance what is already an excellent examination into what makes Richie Tozier tick. I can only hope that one day I can write a story like this.

Life makes survivors of unimaginable horrors yet gives no tools by which survivors can piece themselves together again. How do those living on islands of hurt use their desperation to reach the mainland? What if the journey there is more treacherous than the island itself?
Following the events of the battle at Starcourt, in the wake of Nancy being flayed and El losing more than just her father figure, characters connect—and disconnect—as they ultimately break free of their painful pasts.

A post season 3 fic in which Nancy is killed during the events of Starcourt. Looks at the trauma and it's effects upon the entire group. Writing is hauntingly beautiful.

It’s the fall of their senior year and Will just got his wisdom teeth taken out. Mike, Dustin, and Lucas came to hang out while he’s drugged up on pain meds and some embarrassing confessions slip out (not that Will’s going to remember any of them).
Now Mike has to deal with the fact that his best friend is in love with him and figure out why exactly he’s excited by the idea of kissing Will. (Hint: he’s got an itty bitty crush of his own.)

Summary
Will’s always been afraid of the quiet, ever since the Upside Down— quiet meant he was waiting, anticipating. But here, surrounded by his friends and the distinct feeling of belonging, he isn’t waiting for anything.
Mike catches his eye over the chaos, grins like they’re both in on a secret. Will thinks he might be okay with change.

Summary
Mike was Freaking Out.
He was on the floor of Nancy’s room while she painted his nails black because this was how they bonded and Nancy decided black was the color this week because apparently Mike had been acting pretty extra lately and this was her way of expressing it. Mike thought it just looked emo. But in his defense he was in the middle of an Identity Crisis and if was acting extra then so be it.

Summary
In a future world, it is possible to create full-grown humans in test tubes, complete with pre-uploaded knowledge, skills, and memories. With this technology banned for use in warfare, society has found another use for these creations - but only the rich can afford to order a custom-made spouse (or "Match"), and the country is wrought with controversy over the ethics of the practice.
Mike, at 23 years old, is the son of a mildly powerful politician, and his father supports the Match-making industry wholeheartedly. Mike is solidly against it, but what can he do? His family has him in a choke hold. Uphold the family image, or else. Just as Mike is planning his escape, his parents tell him the great news: they signed him up to order a Match!
Mike doesn't want some poor person to be created according to his every desire. It's wrong. With the help of Nancy, he hatches a plan.
Will isn't sure why he seems so different from the other Matches around him. He's not supermodel gorgeous, or amazingly athletic, or sweet and easygoing like a Match should be. He's worried. Did something go wrong? Was he supposed to be better? But despite his worries, his curiosity wins out. He's anxious to meet his partner.

Summary
While talking to Will in the shed, trying to break through the Mind Flayer's control, Mike starts thinking about what he would do if Will gave up, and completely unintentionally blurts, "I love you." Mike's existential crisis follows. Meanwhile, Will uses the words as his anchor, holding onto this glimmer of hope with all his might as he struggles to hang on against the Mind Flayer.
Basically, a more Mike/Will-centric version of episodes 8 and 9 and the time beyond, with a good dose of of grit and Serious Stuff but also plenty of happiness and some fluff to come. (I mean, come on - Will is a gay kid in the 80s who just craves love and acceptance, and he deserves A Break. Mike is just realizing he's bisexual and he needs some love and acceptance and A Break too.)
