Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
Remus chokes on his words. "But… he’s still my Padfoot.”
“Your Padfoot died the minute a dementor got to him.”
But that's not exactly true, is it? For Sirius Black is in front of him right now - skinnier than he should be, tattoos old and faded, bags under his eyes and somehow, he's still beautiful to Remus. It's easy to see that old heart throb through all the grief. He's a little crazy, aged, yes; the same is true for the werewolf. Beautiful, nonetheless. This man, his shining, half-destroyed star...
They didn't make it back to each other for no reason. All of this, it won't be for nothing.
Remus will get his Padfoot back if it kills him.

Summary
Mike is waiting for Will in the basement, a look of suspicious, nervous excitement on his face. He cleared the table and laid out upon it are two card games.
"Now, I know you’ll resist," Mike blurts out, stepping toward him. "But I think this will be good. For both of us! For when we... you know,” Mike trails off, “When we get partners.”
Will scoffs, stepping closer to inspect the titles.
Spill or Sip and Truth, Dare, or Strip.
Or: Mike suggests a spicy card game to help Will loosen up before college. It works a little too well, and suddenly they’re gambling with unresolved feelings, and clothes, that were meant to stay in place.

Summary
People were bumping into Mike, and he was bumping into them, but he didn't even care. He barely noticed their presence as he fled from the theater. All that mattered was getting away. Far, far, away from Hawkins. The only sound his ears could discern was the faint call from who he thought was Will behind him. His chest tightened even more - but it was the good kind of tight this time - accompanied by panic coiling even tighter around his lungs. His step faltered for a fraction of a second, the idea of turning around and running into Will's warm, gentle arms filling his head and captivating him.
But he knew it was wrong.
So, so wrong.
Mike Wheeler and Will Byers have loved each other forever, but neither will admit it to the other. Vecna has been hiding, Mike was kicked out and has been dealing with the consequences. He isn't doing the best, and he ends up being the perfect target. Will Mikes near death experiences force them to address their mutual feelings for each other? Or will it push them farther apart then ever before?
*Updates every Friday and Monday!*

Summary
The room is too bright.
It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.
It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.
With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.
