    Summary

    "Chim told me to go home," Buck murmurs.

    Eddie swallows, gaze dipping down over the sight of him — Buck knows he’s a mess. Knows his hair must be all over the place, and the bags under his eyes definitely haven’t disappeared in the last couple hours. His clothes are wrinkled and he’s wearing two different shoes. Eddie’s gaze comes back up, slow, exacting, and then he asks, "So you came here?"

    And Buck hears the question behind the question clearer than the question itself.

    This is home?

    --

    Or, Buck goes home.

    Summary

    Mike wakes to the sound of movement in the kitchen. He pushes himself up, still groggy, and steps into the hallway.

    “Hey, baby,” a voice says easily, not looking up. “You want coffee—?”

    Carlton turns around, stops short. Blinks once.

    “Oh,” he says, then laughs under his breath. “You’re… not Will.”

    Mike freezes.

    Or,

    Post-canon, Mike Wheeler crashes at his best friend’s New York apartment for a book deal. But he wasn't ready to see this version of Will Byers: confident, successful, in love, surrounded by community and so, so free.

    While Will lives the life he has always deserved, Mike grieves El and comes to the quiet, devastating realization that he might be in love a few years too late.

    Despite everything, they still seem to find their way back to each other.

    Summary

    (Summary inside, it was too long. Come take a peak.)

    Exerpt:

    He ignored the way his brother's eyes were staring holes into the side of his face. Reaching out without looking he flicked Stack on the forehead. Once upon a time his brother would have hissed in pain. He was sure Stack hardly felt it now, but he had been struck with muscle memory. Stack blinked back his shock, grinning bright and stupid. A warmth settling in his chest. His brother hardly ever touched him now. Stack didn't know if it was out of fear or disgust maybe both even.

    "Quit starin' at me." Smoke huffed.

    "Let me find out you making a friend Smoke."

    "I ain't makin' no god damn friends."

    "Yeah whatever. Louis kinda draw you in huh? No weird shit....just...." Stack fumbled, realizing how that was sounding.

    Smoke ignored his fumbling. He understood what he meant. For someone so weighed down....he had a way of being a lighthouse in a storm. Like beckoning ships at sea closer. Or rather pulling out the dying embers and giving fresh air. Thats what he was....fresh air. Something new.....a change of pace.

    "Yeah..." Was all Smoke offered back.
