    Summary

    "You're, like, so strong," he says, and Steve laughs.
    "No, that wasn't a joke, I mean it, really, like—”
    "It's okay, I know you do. Thanks, man. I think it's about time we head home, alright?"
    "Oh yeah," Jonathan says, "I want to see my mom. Is she gonna be mad I'm drunk? I am drunk, right?"
    "Yeah, bud, I think you definitely reached drunk."

    (or: Jonathan wants to know what it's like to be drunk. Steve makes sure he does it safely.)

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    Will Byers has a big heart, his mom always said. He loves and he loves and he loves. He gives it away because it’s too much to be contained inside one small human organ, too full to bursting. It’s always been this way, his whole life, giving away love; to crying girls in sandboxes, to loud boys on swing sets, to uncaring fathers who yell and break things and force him to change, only to leave anyway. By the time he realizes the love isn’t infinite, it’s too late to fight his nature, and his heart bleeds out, year by year, until he’s drained and tired and empty.

    He cries into his hand and wonders what will happen to him when he’s truly empty. Wonders if that day is rapidly approaching. Wonders if it’s already here.

    .

    a hypothetical s5. they're back in hawkins now and will's friends and family are ignoring him. meanwhile he's having dreams he can't remember and everything feels like it's falling apart

    Summary

    “Perhaps we are doing her a favor then,” he says, pausing to chew the inside of his cheek before adding in a measured, careful voice. “I wouldn’t want to live without my love, either.”

    Arthur whips around in the saddle to stare at him, eyes hard and dark, like the storm clouds building on the distant horizon. “What love? You haven’t got a love,” he snaps, like he’s the sole keeper of all Merlin’s secrets.
