Cupcakes and Literary Terminology by Nam (NamsLookingAtTheStars)

Summary
"When you read you submerge yourself into this world of human creation where you exist only as a silent observer.” he explained.
“Oh, it does make sense when you say it like that.” Will breathed like it actually clicked in his brain.
“That’s not the only thing, literary works are estranged from regular language. They are usually not supposed to be an exact mirror of something we call reality. They use language that differs… Well depending on the work modern play will try to limit estrangement to minimum. It needs to be relatable and coherent to its audience. So it will use mostly everyday language. Whereas poetry, where the main purpose is to invoke some type of emotion, will have the highest level of estrangement, because it’s not meant to be understood exactly, but more as a bridge between you and the emotions already inside of you.” Oh well, this was sounding more like a rant than an explanation of literary terminology.- Language:

Everything... Everything was back and Mary couldn't find any air to fill her lungs. Her mind filled with everything that was taken away from her.
Memory.
A wand under her chin. Cold, cold blue eyes. Lips that said “Obliviate”.
And Mary sobbed.

Summary
“So… not him, then,” Mike murmured to himself, thoughtful.
He let his gaze drift back to the blond. The guy was looking towards Will again. Wait, no. He was staring at Mike and Will’s feet, tangled together beneath the table. The boy looked up, caught Mike’s eyes for a fleeting moment, then blinked and looked away, shoulders slumping slightly.
Mike couldn’t help the little surge of smug satisfaction - and relief. He shoved it aside and turned back to Will.
Will smiled across the table at him and squeezed Mike’s ankle again.
“No,” Will said softly. “Not him.”
💕💕💕💕

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.
