Summary
“What in the absolute fuck are you doing here?”
“I—” Mike tries, but the words die in his throat. Will’s the first to pull away, but Mike wants to stay tucked into his warm, dry arms and neck and scent forever. “I missed you.”
“You — you missed me?”
Mike flushes crimson and tears his gaze away from Will — suddenly he’s feeling a little too seen, a little too looked through. “I — yeah.”
or, the four days in which mike runs away from hawkins and shows up on the doorstep of will's east village apartment without telling a soul he was coming - including will himself

Summary
“Can you please stay?”
Mike’s hand lingers on the doorframe, voice catching a little. A shiver of something — maybe something like awareness — passes between them.
“What?”
Don’t move. Don’t go to New York. Don’t leave me behind. Please, don’t leave me behind.
“Stay the night?”
“You want me to stay the night?”
“I—” Mike chokes. I don’t know how to say goodbye anymore. “Yeah.”

Summary
And Will’s not the writer here, Mike is, but he has no idea what goes on inside Mike’s head anymore, because Mike doesn’t let anybody in. He’s become all but a total recluse — reticent, he just buries his head in books and hunches over his typewriter for hours on end, writing stories nobody’s been allowed to read for months and getting lost in made-up paracosms to fulfill the gaping hole that El has left in his life — in their lives.
But it’s not fair, because act as he might, Mike wasn’t the only one who lost El.
They all did.
or, will and jonathan's 2am phone conversation a month pre-epilogue about growing up, first loves, and how to finally learn how to put yourself first

Summary
Will Byers might only be sixteen years old, but he knows at least a few things for certain — he knows malted milkshakes are dimensions better than regular, and that Holy Grail is maybe the funniest movie ever written, and that popcorn at the movies just isn’t as good without Milk Duds and extra butter, nor is Coke as good without Pop Rocks fizzling at the bottom, and that he always gets third place in party bike races, and that trading comics with the party is so much more fun than reading them alone, and that Lucky Charms are only good ‘cause of the marshmallows, and that he doesn’t like girls. And that he’s never, ever, ever going to like girls.
And he knows that he’s so fucking tired of being this afraid of himself.
or, if will really HAD to out himself...

Summary
After a moment of silence — a rarity for Robin — and with as much energy as he can muster up, he finally smiles a toothy grin across Robin’s lap, wincing. “But it was pretty cool.”
“Yeah? But, like, how? I mean, I imagined you being like some badass kin—”
“...Robin!”
“Sorry, little Byers. I just get so—”
“As I’ve come to know, yeah.”
or, cutesy little will & robin’s relationship woes, headaches, and other perils post 5x04 :)

my outsiders canon :p by cinnamoncider

Summary
basically just all my interconnected mostly-canon-compliant (but probably gayer) outsiders fics, mostly focused on the brothers and/or peril with some other random stuff thrown in, in chronological order!
some of them are a little connected together and some of them have basically nothing to do with each other; they're just all in the same lil pre/post canon compliant universe in my head :)
