Summary
"Children, behave—" The radio sounded, coming through louder than whatever had been playing before. It was the first line of Tiffany's 'I Think We're Alone Now', the first thing to breach the bubble Will and Mike had constructed around themselves, ringing in Will's ears as he let his hands travel down Mike's bare stomach, lingering at the waistband of his black jeans like he was standing on the precipice of a cliff, preparing to leap.
The children weren't behaving.
OR: Will and Mike get high and have sex, but with lots of feelings and a written note of consent, because Mike is corny even when baked out of his mind like the little fruitcake he is.

Summary
Richie liked stamps.
He was a bit of a collector, although he'd deny it if he was ever asked. A habit he'd picked up when he was little was covering his favourite objects in them; a mosaic of serrated edges and prints of painted patterns.
Stamps were sentimental to Richie, as ridiculous as he knew that sounded. He only ever put them on things he never intended to lose, like some sort of ritual ensuring he kept whatever item it was that he'd deemed to be of such great importance.
OR: It's Valentine's day, and Eddie opens his locker to a stamp-covered love letter, signed by an anonymous secret admirer.

Summary
NOTE: I am currently working on revising and reworking this fic. I have a good bit of it written that hasn't been posted here, because I want to do a lot of revisions to better focus my theme. For now, I won't be taking this fic down or posting updates; instead I'll be posting the entire edited, reworked version when it's done.
Eddie Kaspbrak ran away from his abusive father Lonnie at age twelve, catching a series of buses from Derry, Maine to Hawkins, Indiana. The day after he found safety at the Byers house, his newly-introduced half brother Will went missing.
Mike and Richie Wheeler are twins, identical in looks, but polar opposite in personality. Despite insisting that he hated Mike and all of his nerdy friends, Richie still tagged along when the party went searching for Will in the woods, finding far more than they bargained for.
OR: Another ST x IT crossover nobody asked for. Set in Hawkins, third person follows Byler and Reddie, and the plot is heavily rewritten.

Summary
Mike's mind had been made up the second Will had put a hand to his handlebar.
"Shit…" Mike cursed as he kicked up the kickstand of his bike, mounting it and rolling out of the garage. He pointedly ignored the crash of the rain on his head and shoulders, how the cold seeped through his raincoat instantly, permeating his skin and sinking into his bones before he'd even hit the street.
This wasn't a normal summer storm. It was too cold, too heavy.
OR: An alternate ending to the S3 rain fight scene.
