    Summary

    They don’t talk about it, but Clay knows Summer understands. He had known it the second he met her, recognized something about the set of Summer’s shoulders, like the weight of the world rested there. It reminds him of home and friends who knew his grief like the back of their hand.

     

    or Clay’s new college friends show him his high school experience wasn’t quite as unique as he thought.

    Summary

    “'Because you did that, now we can be here together – best friends, Party Members. We have our whole lives ahead of us. Let’s live them.' With that, El finally breaks, collapsing into Max’s arms, sobbing in relief. Max lets her eyes fall shut as she rubs her best friend’s back, taking comfort in her simple existence.

    'Yes. Let’s,' El says eventually, digging her chin into Max’s shoulder so sharply it’s a reminder that they’re both present and in possession of free and as-yet-unlived lives.

    And so live them they do."

    Or, Max puts herself and her friends back together after the final battle.

    Summary

    “It was violent. Just like him. Exactly how he does it,” he says, his voice unbelievably small, like he’s disappointed in himself. Which is strange, because Mike has never felt more proud of anyone in his entire life.

    “You would never hurt even a fly,” Mike says. “I know you wouldn’t even hurt those monsters if you didn’t have to. You’re different. I've known you for as long as I remember being alive, Will.” His voice softens even more, like he needs Will to hear it, to believe it, because he means every word.

    or, the one where will deals with various confusing emotions after he uses vecna's powers for the first time, and mike helps will see himself exactly how mike sees him.

    Summary

    Will, who is alone on the other side of the truck, practically pressing himself in the corner, his eyes flickering all around the group but never settling. His attention darts from one friend to another, landing on Lucas then Dustin then Robin. But never Mike. He hasn’t looked Mike’s way once since the truck started moving.

    Mike is trying really, really hard not to be bothered by that.

    //

    Mike and Will have a conversation in the back of Murray’s truck on the way to the Upside Down, and then a second conversation once they get there. A post S5 episode 7 fix-it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Hey,” Mike says, and he knows his voice sounds terribly soft. Normally his words have a tendency of coming out whiny and petulant, far more so than he would like, but never with Will. Even when he’s upset, hurt, confused, confused, confused like he is right now, he can never sound anything other than embarrassingly fond.

    ...

    Mike slides one of his hands around to cup the back of Will’s neck, resting his fingers right over the spot where he knows Will always feels the connection to Vecna, covering it like he’s been yearning to for years. Like he can offer some thin protection by doing so.

    ...

    “In case it wasn’t clear,” Mike wants to look away, embarrassment fluttering through him, but he forces himself to meet Will’s gaze because Will deserves that, “I actually do like you back. I maybe more than like you. Sorry for the confusion.” When Will laughs it is a beautiful thing.
