Summary
After being discharged from the hospital and on more medications than he can keep track of, Katsuki Bakugou is recommended to have a caretaker while he recovers from his injuries in the war.
Izuku Midoriya is the obvious choice for the job, especially since he’s the one who barges into the hospital room and states, rather than offers, that he’ll be doing it.
For the prompt: Sick/Hurt

Summary
Sokka felt his gaze being drawn back to the table – back to the boy. He was staring back with an odd expression that Sokka couldn’t explain – he seemed simultaneously curious and frustrated.
Sokka dropped his eyes and asked the table, “Which one is the boy with the black hair and the scar?”
“That’s Zuko,” Suki said, and Sokka felt an inexplicable warmth in his stomach at learning his name. “Totally gorgeous – the straight girls here are all in love with him. Total waste of their time though, he doesn’t date.”
Sokka laughed at that and then, without thinking, glanced back over at the boy – at Zuko. He had turned his face away, but Sokka swore he was smiling too.

Summary
“Because he’s a monk, genius. He works on Air Temple Island.”
Katara’s mouth rounds. She’s not entirely sure why she’s shocked. Aang being a monk seems rather obvious, now, given the shaved head and tattoos, but she supposes it must be his age. Every Air Nomad monk she’s met— of which there hasn’t been many, admittedly— has been old, gray, and wizened.
And, objectively, she thinks, glancing at him. Gray eyes flick away. Not as good-looking.
Or:
This is a love story.

Summary
All in all, these five months and two weeks had completely, entirely, and unequivocally been the best time of Will's life. It wasn’t a hard standard to reach, considering the other 200-something months he’d lived, but it really couldn’t get better than Mike Wheeler buying you Thai food and calling you baby.
Well, maybe one thing; which was that Mike was changing.
Or, 5 times Mike discovers himself, one friend at a time, and once where he does it all by himself

Summary
It was late summer, the Party's last together before splitting for college, and the day finally arrived for their trip to the Midwest Renaissance Festival. They'd all been working hard on intricate costumes and props - Mike and Will in particular were beyond excited for the trip. Completely enamored with one another, as per usual, the boys get caught up in a game of pretend, with an indulgence in role-playing versions of their long-time DnD characters together throughout their adventure at the faire, eventually escalating it further than either of them planned. Well, one of them might have had very specific plans in mind...

Summary
Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
Fuck. Not now. Not again.Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

After a night that nearly destroyed him, Mike Wheeler is placed in a psychiatric facility, left alone for the first time since everything spiraled out of control. Alone in a place meant to “help,” Mike faces the voice in his head and the weight of his own self-destruction.

Summary
The truth is that Mike Wheeler is intense. He walks around like a live wire. Like he’s always five seconds from exploding. And Chance can’t stop looking.
There’s something about him. It's sharp and unsteady, like glass right before it shatters. He’s not like anyone Chance knows. He’s not like anyone wants to know. He doesn’t smile. Doesn’t laugh. Doesn’t do small talk.
And for some reason, that makes Chance want to crawl inside his head and stay there forever.
Which...yeah. Weird. Definitely weird.
or
Mike hates Chance. Chance is absolutely infatuated with him.

Summary
The terrible, awful thing about finally getting what he wanted — namely, Mike — is that now he wants more, the selfish creature that he is. When he was younger, he’d been able to convince himself that kissing Mike, just once, would be enough to last him a lifetime. Foolishly, he’d thought that he could relish that single kiss and live a peaceful life, one where Mike was still his friend and nothing changed but his feelings would dissipate.
Instead, they grew; they’re still growing, Will fears, growing bigger and bigger each time Mike and him get together, because every sound Mike makes when Will kisses him makes Will want to find ten more little gasps and whines and groans, and each time Mike twists their fingers together and pants against his skin Will thinks about how much better it is than the time before.
will and mike are - something, and will's not entirely sure what. whatever they are, he wants more, but he's not sure if he can have it.

Summary
“Hungry,” is all Mike manages to get out. Will can hear each ragged breath scuttle up and down his chest. He squints at Mike, the boy refusing to break eye contact, staring intently at Will. The emptiness from this morning is back.
Will scoots up in bed and shimmies out of his blanket cocoon, placing his hands on the sides of Mike’s arms. “Are you feeling sick?” he questions gently. Something’s not right.
Mike shakes his head and once again, opens his mouth with a brief pause before speaking. “I’m so hungry, Will.”
Mike gets a little too into the occult. After a ritual-gone-wrong, Will has to piece together a decades-old mystery to save his best friend's life.

Bookmarker's Notes
I love a huge horror plot twist like this one. The foreshadowing was impeccable, and once you get to the twist you think, “oh my fucking god - the signs have been there this whole time.” And it’s so satisfying to see the ending tie it all together.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my—he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

Summary
“... Will.”
“Okay, sure, yeah. What about him?”
“I’m a bad friend.” Mike admitted, breathing it out like a vomited confession, like something he was desperate to be rid of.
“Did something happen?” Steve asked.
“Yes.” He paused. “Well, no. It’s— it’s more like… more like… he got a boyfriend.” Mike huffed out a breath.
“I know.” Steve agreed slowly, brows raised. “Carlton. Will, Robin and I met up a while back and he introduced us. Seems like a good kid. What about him?”
Mike felt like a fucking idiot.
Of course Steve didn’t get it. Why would Steve get it?
“I… I just…” How was Mike even meant to begin to talk about this? “It’s driving me crazy, man. I hate the guy.”
OR -
Mike spirals about his feelings, gets in his car, and somehow ends up going to Steve Harrington for help. He gets a much-needed pep talk and finally goes after what he wants.
