Summary
“This is about Mike,” El said, her amusement palpable.
”You could — say that,” Will said, haltingly. “I just. You’re the only one in the party who’s been on dates and stuff that aren’t with someone they’ve been seeing for years, and I need to know how to do that.”
El made a strange noise he couldn’t decipher. There was the muffled sound of someone covering the receiver, and a sound not unlike a tea kettle going off, and then El was back in his ear and saying, “I see.”
When they move into a new apartment as juniors, Will decides he has to learn to get over Mike. Going on a bunch of dates with new guys will definitely make things easier, and they’ll both be very normal about it.

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Summary
Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.
"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.
He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."
"Again."
El is gone.
Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.
Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

Summary
It’s been a little over a year since Sirius had kissed him for the first time on Halloween, crowding him up against the counter, whispering ‘Hey, you’ in his ear, breath warm with alcohol. A little over a year since Remus had tried half-heartedly to push him away, whispering, ‘I don’t think this is a good idea.’ To which Sirius had said, ‘Give me one reason why not,’ and Remus had stood there unable to say, ‘Because I'm in love with you, because I’m scared of what that love may do to me,’ and unable to come up with anything else, choking on a couple years worth of unsaid words, and so he’d just let it happen, more than just let it happen. It’s been three years since the boy across the hall had knocked on his dorm door to introduce himself, posh accent, ironed-down shirt, lithe, clever fingers pushing long black hair from his face before extending his hand out in offering. Three years since Remus had stared down at that hand, a bit bewildered, before reaching out to grasp it and Sirius had smiled up at him, butterscotch sweet, and his hand had been soft and warm and Remus hadn’t wanted him to let go. The feeling has never gone away.
