Summary
Mike gazed out over the lake as they steadied the boat, sitting down on the old, splintered planks which served as benches. The gate ripped like fire across the water. The authorities had long since stopped placing security alongside the entire edge of the tear in the earth. It just sat, smoldering, hellish. Somehow gravity played into this whole thing, and the water of the lake… hadn’t fallen through the gate.
The beach they pushed off from was actually oddly tranquil.
Will grabbed the paddles. “God, we should’ve at least left a note or something-”
“Will.” Mike said seriously. “You can go back if you want. I wouldn’t blame you.”
“No, no, I- it’s just bad in there, Mike.”
What had he been thinking? Mike suddenly felt incredibly guilty. Pulling Will back into the Upside Down after what’d happened-
“Shit, Will. I didn’t even think,” Mike said anxiously. “If you-”
Will looked him dead in the eyes. “Absolutely not. I'm not going anywhere.” He began shrugging off his jacket.
Mike’s heart did something funny in his chest. “Cool.”

Summary
The realization that Edwin favoured men, specifically his best friend, had hit him slowly, then all at once. He couldn’t stand Crystal at first, he couldn’t handle the way Charles looked at her like she hung the damned moon. Edwin was supposed to be Charles’s person, not some living physic girl. They were dead together for goodness sake, and had been for three decades. They knew each other better than anybody, so clearly it had stung.
It had stung so terribly to think that Charles might do anything to be alive again, just to be with Crystal. Even if that meant abandoning Edwin all together.
"It makes sense," Edwin had said that day in the hall, "given that you said that you hate being dead. Of course you fell for a living girl."
Charles wouldn’t fall for a dead boy.
Edwin was an idiot for ever thinking he might have. But even so, he’d made peace with Charles’s kind rejection. Even if it still hurt to simply look at him sometimes.
That was, until Charles and Crystal ended things.
-
in which Edwin and Charles get lost in a house in search of a missing viola. comfort, confessions, kisses (and more) ensue.

Summary
“You seem like a good guy,” Chance said with a smirk, voice low. “I-”
“Hey, Will?” It was Mike, of course it was Mike, interrupting the only time a hot guy may have ever flirted with Will.
“Uh, give me a sec, I just-” Will stumbled.
“Don’t worry about it, Byers, I better get to class,” Chance motioned vaguely down the hall. “I’ll see you around,” Then he had the audacity to fucking wink.
Will didn’t have the time to short-circuit because Mike was glaring suspiciously at Chance as he walked away. “Why, pray tell, were you talking to him?” Mike asked stonily.
Will clenched his jaw. “Why do you care?”
Mike sighed and shook his head. “I don’t.” He thrust a flyer in front of him, looking suddenly embarrassed. “We have a show tonight. Seven o’clock at this cool venue downtown.”
Will took it, silently.
“I want you to come,” Mike said softly, and for a moment none of the bad shit had happened at all, and they were just two kids staring at each other in a school hallway.
-Will might think it's really hot that Mike's in a band. Mike might've written a song about Will. Unfortunately, they're both total idiots and have been set on ignoring each other for months.

Summary
Will fumbled through his first aid kit. “Alright, c’mere, you look like Aragorn.”
“That’s not a bad thing.” Mike pointed out with a sly grin, scooting close to him.
“You’ve got blood everywhere. So definitely not HOT Aragorn.” Will corrected, before realizing exactly what he’d said, eyes widening.
“Not that-” Will swallowed. “I think-” he stopped and stared at the stuff he’d pulled from the bag.
“Let’s just. Get you cleaned up.” Will muttered, closing himself off. Shutting Mike out. Mike knew what that looked like.
Will used to do it, when Lonnie would get mad. Shut everything out. Mike hated it.
Did he mean what he'd said about Aragorn? Or was Mike overthinking it like always? Hope fluttered in his chest, hot and dangerous. He wanted to reach out and tell Will that it was fine, that he didn’t mind.
That he wasn’t alone. That he didn’t have to be alone.
But Mike Wheeler was a coward. So he didn’t say anything at all.
-mike and will skip class and, after a bike ride resulting in a bad fall, end up at a rebuilt castle byers. confessions and kisses ensue.

Summary
“Mark?” Roger called through their apartment as he scoured their kitchen for food. He wrinkled his nose at a suspiciously old looking carton of Pad Thai, and threw it out.
“In here!” Mark called from his room.
Roger wandered over, peeking his head in the door. “Hey, hey, hey.”
“Morning, sunshine.” Mark was pouring over his latest script, cigarette hanging from his lips- this time he was writing a real film, he claimed, not a documentary. “It’s,” Mark checked his watch, “just past noon. That’s pretty darn early for you," he teased, eyes sparkling as he fixed his glasses.
Roger shook his head with a laugh. “You don’t sleep, Mark.” This was true- Mark had what he himself had dubbed selective-insomnia, only sleeping when he absolutely needed to. Somehow he stayed impossibly energetic. “You wouldn’t get it, sleep is my only pastime.” Roger joked, glancing back at the kitchen. “We don’t have food.”
“We have cigarettes,” Mark swiveled in his chair and held his half-smoked one out to Roger with a grin.
“Okay, smart-ass.”

Summary
“What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.
“Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”
A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

Summary
“I need you.”
Will’s expression grows more stunned. “What?” he breathes, voice barely above a whisper.
His instincts tell him to take it all back, but the way that Will’s looking at him with those sorrowful, questioning eyes weakens him. And he’s been stupid for many, many years, so what’s a little more stupidity?

Summary
“You’re not gonna forget me,” Mike pressed, heart pounding against his rib cage. His hands twitched, picking nervously at the cardboard. His voice wobbled. “Right?”
Will shook his head quickly, crossing the space between them in a quick jog.
“No,” he whimpered, and his arms hooked around Mike’s waist, face pressing into the crook of his shoulder. “No, Mike. I could never forget you. You won’t-?”
“No,” Mike hissed, dropping his chin down on top of Will’s head. He was starting to catch up to his height, after years of having to look up or down at each other. He tilted his head down, nose squished against Will’s hair. He squeezed his eyes shut, and Will’s arms around him tightened, hands clasped behind his back.
They’d call twice, the first month Will was gone, and then never again.
After four years without contact, Mike chances a visit to the Byers' on his way to college. It changes everything.

Summary
And then it happened. The metallic screech of the gate, the shuffle of men stepping out beyond the prison walls. And suddenly there he was. His hair was shorter than he’d ever seen it. And his glasses were different. But it was him. Their eyes met. Tim stared at him in wide eyed shock before recognition melted his features into a confused outrage.
Basically a fix-it in which Hawk finds himself back in the early 70s.
