Summary
Jon has nightmares on a nightly basis, yes. Some nights, after he abruptly awakes, panicked and fearful, he’ll simply sit there, failing to will away the hellish images his mind provides him with.
Most nights, though, he finds himself standing at Martin’s open bedroom door, just shy of passing over the threshold that taunts him. Mocking him for the way his heart tugs at the sight of Martin sleeping peacefully, how Jon so desperately wishes to curl up beside him- to be wrapped in his comforting arms, free of nightmares.
He hated entertaining the thought, brutally aware of its impossibility.
That is, until he was made -very- aware, that it apparently isn’t as impossible as he’d originally thought.
Or, Sleepy cuddles and sleepy kisses? Absolutely.
Or or, I had an au idea and just had to write it.

Summary
Martin has been noticing the way that Jon seems to be getting more distant that usual, he doesn’t even seem to be touching the tea Martin makes for him.

Or, Jon manages to hurt himself in a sleep-deprivation induced accident, and Martin helps to bandage the wound. Some conversation and a lot of hand holding ensues.

Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.

Rudo instantly glared daggers at him, looking downright offended.
“I’m not stupid!! Of course I can tell it means two people!”
Zanka was making an extraordinary effort to keep his cool and not scream.
