    Summary

    “Wh– well– why–” James stammered, attempting to get his bearings, because if he didn’t, and he let Regulus tell him ‘kiss me’ one more time, his heart would probably give out. “Why don’t you get Sirius to help?”

    Regulus narrowed his eyes. “Because Sirius would just knock his teeth out,” he said as though it were obvious.

    “Yes,” James hissed, “and he’ll knock my teeth out if I kiss his little brother.”

    “You can take a hit, Potter, I’ve seen you on the quidditch pitch,” Regulus waved him off, and James groaned, leaning away from him.

    “Oh, yeah, great, so I’m the sacrifice,” he sighed.

    “Precisely,” Regulus stepped right into his space, and James felt his chest go a little hot.

    ---

    Or, Regulus asks James for a favor to get his ex off of his back, and James makes bad choices.

    Summary

    And maybe it’s the way the streetlights flicker, or the way the town is too quiet, but Will suddenly feels the weight of everything pressing in on him again. The truth clawing at his throat. The things he wants to say but can’t.

    He takes a breath.

    “Mike.”

    Mike turns to him immediately, eyes sharp, attentive.

    Will grips his own wrist, fingers digging into his skin. He hesitates—just for a second—before finally, barely above a whisper, he asks:

    “Can—” He swallows hard. “Can you promise me something?”

    Summary

    Mike feels a little or a lot, never controlled and always one extreme or the other. It’s visible in the way he snaps at his friends when he gets too angry or too upset, and it’s audible in his relentless stutter that appears when there’s attention on him. It’s laced in the lies that he grinds out through his teeth, claiming that he’s fine, and it’s in the fight to appear as though he’s swimming gently through a body of water when in reality he can’t keep afloat.

    His feelings are like waves, gentle or all consuming as they rise and fall with the tide, and nothing drowns him quite like Will Byers.

    Honestly amazing, it was true to how the characters do act in the show even though it was written before season 4 even came out. I love it so much and I know so many people will love it to if they just read it
