    Summary

    "It's okay Mike, hey, it's okay."

    "No it's not!" Which—okay—fair enough, it didn't feel very okay to Jonathan either, but he was so out of his depth right now. He'd comforted Will countless times, he'd comforted Nancy, El. Hell, he'd even comforted Mike a bunch of times when he was younger.

    A lot younger.

    He'd comforted Mike over a broken crayon, or a scraped knee, or Will being sick and not being able to go to school for a week—that one had required a lot of comforting—but that had been a long time ago and those were all just silly, trivial things kids cried over. Now Mike was crying on a dirty bathroom floor, blood tainting his arms, and Jonathan couldn't just give him a new yellow crayon to make him feel better anymore.

    Summary

    Hand over mouth.

    He breathes slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible. Crawling further into the corner he is sitting in, hugging a hammer to his chest. Someone knocks on the door, and he flinches, but picks himself up quickly. He does not intend to open. Knows that it makes no difference either way. His wildly staring gaze refuses to leave the red, old-fashioned telephone that stands opposite him in the corridor outside his bedroom.

    He takes a deep breath and waits for the door to give way. Waiting for the bang, but it never comes. Instead, a loud, piercing sound.

    Tears well up in his eyes.

    The phone rings.

    Summary

    “Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”

    Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

    Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”

    The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

    Summary

    “I can be brave for you too, ‘Brina. I promise. You tell me what you’re feeling, and I’ll take some. We can drag it around together, dead-horse style,” he says fiercely.

    “The expression is beating a dead horse,” she says.

    “Well, we can beat the shit out of whatever you’re feeling, too. If you think it’ll help.”

    “None of that made any sense at all,” Sabrina laughs, even as she hugs him closer. His speech was stilted but genuine, meaning spilling out between words that aren’t quite right for what he’s trying to tell her, but she knows. She knows just like he does.

    Summary

    Nina loved to eat.

    Everyone knew that. She loved the Ravkan toffees Inej brought back from her travels, loved the salty jarred fish that Matthias was particularly fond of, loved the spicy soups that Jesper made. Nina loved food.

    But her partners didn't seem to share her thoughts. And that was fine.

    What wasn't fine was when Nina noticed them skipping meals.

     

    OR: Nina teaches the Crows how to love food, and how to love themselves a little more

    Summary

    Phil goes very, very still when the camera pans out in the next room to reveal a person laid out, unmoving, on an operating table. “Charlie,” he mutters unconsciously.
    Thankfully, it quickly becomes clear that Charlie is still alive. But then the Puzzler gives his instructions, and everything in Philza’s stomach just fucking drops.
    “No,” he hears himself say through ten feet of water. On screen, Ranboo pulls out a pair of surgical scissors. “No, Ranboo, oh my god—”

    OR

    Two months after his disappearance, Ranboo goes live.
    For six hours, people across the world watch the horrific show unfold. At the conclusion, Showfall Media is promptly discovered by the authorities, dismantled, and its victims rescued.
    This is the aftermath.

    Summary

    And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”

    Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”

    “Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”

    Mike beams. “Good.”

    “Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.

    Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
    Thankfully, he knows better.
    Kind of.

    Summary

    Birthdays are childish anyway. And being sad about not having one was also childish.

    On the day, he had hoped they would remember. He didn’t need anything big, just a simple “Happy birthday!” in passing would suffice. He could not remember the last time someone wished him a happy birthday.

    or

    Leo watches all his friends celebrate their birthdays and alienates himself more after each and every one of them.

    Summary

    “Shut up.” And she pulls Robin back down to her lips.

    Nancy doesn’t know how long they stand there, making out in the kitchen like a couple of horny teenagers (which, she supposes, they technically are—she’s not twenty until next year and Robin’s only just turned nineteen). It’s long enough for their kisses to turn desperate, for Robin’s lips to move from her mouth to her neck, nipping and biting just light enough to avoid leaving a mark, for her hands to move upwards under Nancy’s shirt, carefully tracing the bottom of her bra. Long enough for Nancy to weave her fingers into Robin’s hair, pulling her closer, for her free hand to travel to the waistband of Robin’s jeans, scratching gently over the skin just above it.

    Long enough that Nancy’s senses are overwhelmed by Robin enough for them to miss the footsteps coming up the stairs.

    “Oh my god, my eyes!”

    Summary

    Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”

    “Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”

    “Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”

    “Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”

    Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

    Summary

    “Do you want to go home?” He questions, leaning close and voice soft, and Will pauses, before nodding again. Mike lets out a breath, and lets his hand press against Will a little more firmly when he starts to sway in place again. “Okay, let’s go.”

    Then he looks up and is met with smug faces, and Mike flushes when he realizes his own hypocrisy.

    I don’t talk like that,” Max recalls, voice high-pitched and overly girly and – Mike definitely doesn’t talk like that.

    According to everyone in his life, Mike has a voice reserved just for Will. He tries to figure out what that says about him.

    Summary

    Honestly, it wasn't fair. Dustin wasn't talking to him, El broke up with him, again, and now Will's mad at him. He doesn't even know what he did, so how does any of that make sense? Max and Lucas seemed to be the only ones on neutral grounds. Well, is it neutral if they agree more with the others than with him? He just wanted a moment of peace so he can try and solve one thing before moving on to the next and then the next, was that too much to ask?

    Apparently, it was because now he was stuck in a room with his friends about to watch something he didn't want to talk about. Ever.

    “I think as long as you're not being an asshole, I’d rather just fuck you instead,” Kyle’s lips brush against Cartman’s as he says this, a flush spreading with the heat that travels down his chest.

    “I can be nice,” Cartman answers.

    “Yeah?”

    “I can be so fucking nice,” He stresses.
