Summary
“That’s not it. I don’t take handouts. What I’m asking for is a job.”
Veruca raises an eyebrow. “A job?” she says flatly. “You want a job in my fathers company.”
“Yes. We don’t have the money to send me to college and minimum wage jobs won't cut it, so I thought,” she trails off and backs away. “Look, I need a hand. I used the last of my own money to get here and without it I’m not going anywhere.”
“You’d be stuck in England,” Veruca says, letting out a breath. Violet, though incredibly different at first glance, is still the little girl chasing after what she desires. This is her new record, though it's not a record at all. “It will be hard to convince my father. He doesn’t like it when I ask him for things.” Violet chuckles at that but quiets down once she realizes Veruca is serious. “But I’ll help you as best as I can.”
Reinvigorated, Violet straightens up. “That’s all I ask. Thanks.”
Despite herself, Veruca smiles so hard it hurts and she pats Violet’s hand, lingering a little longer than she should.
---
Years after the factory tour, Veruca and Violet reconnect when Violet needs some financial help. As they temporarily live under the same roof they begin to grow closer.

Summary
Casey lets himself drift off into the crowd. He knows this rooftop and the ones around it. He remembers arguing with Mikey about comics over there, shoving Raph around near the neon sign for a 7/11, and once they’d been staking out on a rooftop three down for a while and he’d managed to beat April in uno. Which is crazy cause she’s, like, a sort of psychic. There’s a messed up bit of graffiti that he’d done on his own a few nights ago.
Leo would say that the roofs hold memories, that they’re a way to tap into the past or something, but Casey thinks all that spiritual stuff is bull. He just remembers.
---
Most of Casey's high school career so far has been spent fighting bad guys. That's great and all - really he prefers it that way - but sometimes he needs to remember what it's like to be a teenager. If he can manage to do that. (spoiler alert: he can't)

Summary
He stares at Veruca for a second. She nods towards the door and waves him away but he doesn’t move. With a sigh Mike bends down to pick up the scissors. Finally his eyes stop moving but they don’t meet Veruca’s as he looks up. It’s more like he’s studying her forehead. “I could do it.” Veruca doesn’t answer. Mike doesn’t say anything else.
“Why?” she finally asks. Mike’s body seems to crumple. She wants to rest a hand on his shoulder and maybe get him back to being overconfident but he’d most definitely either slap her or yell, so she keeps her hands where they are.

Veruca Salt is proud of her hair because she's always been told to be. Veruca Salt has also just had her life turned upside down, so maybe she'd like a little less weight on her shoulders (literally).

Summary
“And what do you want?” She asks him out of the blue.
“Me?” He responds, surprised.
“Yes you silly. I said I was getting one for each of us, right?”
Charlie opens his mouth, then shuts it. She had? “I don’t- please don't, Veruca. Just buy yourself two. I don’t need one.”
“Nonsense, you’re my friend and I want to pay for yours. It’s not fair if we have all the fun and you don’t.”
“I’m having fun!” Charlie argues, raising his voice slightly to his own surprise. He’s never liked yelling.
Veruca doesn’t flinch. “Well I wouldn’t be if I were you.” She turns back towards the guy at the counter. “He’ll have-”
She’s just going to ignore him? She’s just going to- a yell slips past his lips “I don’t want anything!” Heads turn towards him, surprise echoing on each person's face. The sounds of the fair still sing on behind him but his friends stand absolutely silent. Any of their laughter has disappeared. Without it Charlie can feel the emptiness of the day sinking in and he cringes, drawing himself backwards. Why did he go at all?

Summary
It’s the perfect combination for his worst feelings. So of course he ends up thinking about Will and El. He’s always thinking about them. Somehow the two of them not being here makes them more important to Mike’s subconscious than if they were standing right in front of him.
He’s already written a letter back to El - he’d done it at the breakfast table the other morning, mind still fogged up by sleep - so his job there is done. But Will…it’s not that Mike doesn’t want to talk to Will, of course he does! They’ve talked on the phone a few times, and even though it’s quiet and awkward and so the opposite of what Mike wants, but he still calls. It’s just that the line is always busy and contrary to popular belief (Max) he can actually stop complaining and do something about his problems. He can’t call Will? Fine, he’ll write instead.
---
Or, Mike's been trying to write Will a letter. He's been failing to write Will a letter. Nancy steps in to give him some vague advice he might just listen to.

Summary
“Weretiger?”
Unkept grayish white hair, thin eyebrows, and those eyes.
It is him.
Akutagawa could end him right here. Six months be damned! If he kills the Weretiger now, he’ll be free, free from the promise, free from the shackles of comparison. He is not delusional enough to believe this will bring Dazai’s approval—if anything, it will only deepen his disdain—but with Nakajima Atsushi gone, there won’t be another for Akutagawa to be measured against. He won’t be lesser if his competition is a dead man.
Rashomon flies in the Weretiger’s direction.
Only to stop right when it’s about to pierce him.
A frustrated grunt escapes from deep within Akutagawa’s throat.
He cannot do it.

Or: The girl from the Hunting Dogs turns Atsushi into a toddler, and that’s how Akutagawa finds him. Set somewhere before sskk faced Fukuchi on the boat.

Summary
Mike doesn't know when he started caring why Steve and Eddie are friends now, but Dustin has made him curious. Eddie and Steve were enemies before, sort of. So why are they now best friends? They've just got to do a bit of surveillance to work this puzzle out. If Mike accidentally finds out he has feelings for his best friend along the way then... well, shit.
“At least I’m not using binoculars.” Mike shoots a derisive look over at Dustin. “Like we’re not in the middle of the high street, if they spot us how are you going to explain away those, huh?”
“Bird watching,” says Dustin. “My new hobby.”
Lucas punches him on the arm. “God you’re so fucking stupid.”
“You gave them to me!”

Summary
“Thank you, Mike,” Joyce says with as much sincerity as she can in her kind-of-fucked-up state. “Thank you for being there for Will, too. I think—” she hiccups, and Mike wipes her eyes with the sleeves of his jacket. “I think you’re the bestest friend he’s ever had.”
The younger boy smiles back at her. “He’s the bestest friend I’ve ever had, too.”
Or, Mike Wheeler and his relationship with Will Byers, as told by Joyce Byers.
