Summary
It was nearing two in the morning, and Mike was four beers in.
He sat, moping at a table tucked away in the corner of the bar, spinning his empty glass around in his hand.
He was drunk, and he didn’t feel better than before he came in. Even through his drunken haze he couldn’t push away the emptiness that he carried with him everywhere now.
Yet, even in his sorry state, his inebriated mind couldn’t help but think that it would be a good idea to get another beer.
Maybe I’ll get lucky and blackout, he thought.
So, letting out a weary sigh, he got up to make his way towards the bar through the dwindling crowd.
But that’s when he stopped.
He froze, standing in the middle of the floor, unable to tear his eyes away from the boy sitting at the bar. He was leaning forward in his chair as he smiled, laughing at something the person next to him had said.
It was him. It was Will.
Will.
Suddenly, he couldn’t help it when the feelings he had tried to repress for as long as he could remember washed over him once again. When his long forgotten memories hit him like a freight train, and everything from those two summers ago came flooding back to him.

Summary
John watched as Sherlock glided across the stage in a long, dark blue dress and pinned-up ginger hair.
He batted his eyelashes, swaying his hips as he made his way up to the microphone and the song started to play.
John sat still for what felt like years.
What was happening to him? Why was he acting this way? This was Sherlock!
That’s when Sherlock looked around the room, mouthing the words to a sultry song as he gestured at people in the crowd, and slowly, his eyes slid to John’s.

Summary
It’s like his brain didn’t want him to forget that Sherlock was gone. But how could he? It’s not like he didn’t think of him everywhere he went, especially while living in the flat they both once occupied; but he had learned to push those thoughts aside. Burying the demons that haunted him far down enough so they could only reach him in his nightmares.

Summary
So Ben was not coming to Christmas. Was not gonna be around for New Years. Whatever.
It’s December 20th. Sort of. The 21st, if we’re being technical. Matt moved out of his dorm last night with Kyle’s resistant assistance, and he’s lying in bed, staring up at his ever so familiar popcorn ceiling, thinking.
He’s got a real gripe with that. Thinking. It should not be so easy to keep the shit inside alive. Spiraling should be more effortful, not a mode to slip into all unaware and clumsy. One thought jumps to another, rocks in a lake, contact tepid at best. Matt spirals like second nature. First nature. It happens without permission; the car swerves right when his hands drop contact with the wheel.
There are decisions to be made. Winter Break is the time for decisions.

Summary
“You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”
Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”
Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”
“Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”
It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”
Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.
