the following fic has not been modified from its original version. it has been transferred to a different account.

This was SO good holy shit. I was not expecting this to be as well-characterized as it was. It's a great take on the classic repeating day trope.

Summary
Holding hands with Mike Wheeler in the dark, five minutes after the world was supposed to end, Will Byers realizes two things: it’s never been about boys in general, and it’s always been about one boy in particular.
Or: Will grows up, falls in love, mourns his losses, and learns some lessons. Some of his paths are travelled alone, but most are with his friends. Because, as the Beatles love to remind him, it's how they get by. Them, together, against the world.

Summary
It's not a secret, not really; they don't decide to not tell anyone. It's just — no one else needs to know. It's just theirs, whatever it is. He's not ashamed or afraid. He thinks it might disintegrate if exposed to sunlight, and he's not ready for that. Not yet.
Or: The one where they hook up sometimes. And it's all casual, obviously.

Summary
"I do believe the two of you were in the same year as boys, were you not?" Headmaster Shaw said. "Charles is the most competent deputy any headmaster could ask for, Erik, and he's been doing this for years…" He trailed off, as if finally noticing something odd in the way his Potions and Divination masters were staring at each other.
"Of course," Charles said quickly, his voice only a little hoarse, and stuck out his hand. "Welcome back to Hogwarts, Erik."

Summary
Erik is the grumpiest, most foul tempered worker at Stark industries. His grumpiness is the stuff of legends.
So it's obviously the talk of the office when Erik is being made to go to the company party and he's bringing his husband. There's rumors flying round about how much of a masochist or equally antisocial bastard Erik's husband must be to put up with him. Others think he must be a meek mouse perhaps bullied by Erik.
What they weren't expecting was the confident, charming, adorable and unbelievably nice Charles that turns up on Erik's arm. What they certainly weren't expecting was how much Erik obviously adores his husband and how happy he is to let others see this.

Summary
“I fucked you?” she says. “You stole from me. You married me and took my birthright from me and you think I’m the one who fucked you?”
Tom turns his head and kisses her wrist, mouthing at it like a cheap whore. It leaves a wet smear.
“Yeah,” he says, biting lightly. Shiv shudders. “You fucked me whenever you could.”
“And how many times has Greg fucked you?” she snarls.
___Shiv figures out Tom and Greg are fucking. Kendall thinks they can use it to get the company back.

Summary
So the Tom thing doesn’t make him feel guilty or anxious in the ways that it probably should. But sometimes he thinks about what would happen if he told his mom, and that’s the stuff that really freaks him out. Because he knows what she would say, and it would hurt worse than anything else.
"Just like your father," she'd say, and she'd be right.

"'Spock,' Jim breathes out, completely overwhelmed by the gesture—not quite believing that Spock knows him so well, that's he's already started researching, that he trusts Jim with a member of his own endangered species."
When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.

Grief’s an Expensive Emotion by Randomness_is_my_order
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
21 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
“What do you want Wheeler?”
Mike’s jittery foot-taps started just as he replied, “Did you eat breakfast?”
“What?” Max blinked, then glared. “How is that any of your business?”
For a moment, she was sure Mike would glare in return, say something fiery or insulting or mocking then they’d both go back to how things were – ignoring each other until interaction was absolutely necessary.
But that didn’t happen.
Grief can cause distance between close friends and bring closer the distant ones.
Max should’ve known that Mike Wheeler can’t help but meddle with her business. But as their reluctant friendship blossoms into profound understanding, Max is amazed at how much they have in common and how much this friendship feels like something she can enjoy, instead of something she has to endure.

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

Summary
It’s fine. It’s totally fine. He’ll just go to sleep- and when he wakes up tomorrow, he’ll forget that this crisis had ever even happened. He closes his eyes, and tries to turn off his brain. It shouldn’t be too hard, probably. He’s heard Max make that joke enough times to suspect that there might be some truth in it. After all, Mike has spent this long being oblivious. Surely, he can manage one night more.
Not even an hour later, he finds himself climbing up Will’s bedroom window.
Mike has more realisations in one night than in two whole years. It's all Jonathan's fault.

After Bespin, Luke returns to the fleet and attempts to piece his life together. But he's finding that increasingly difficult to do when his father can contact him whenever he wants, Leia keeps pushing him to rejoin their forces, and he keeps being distracted by a secret in Wedge's past.
None of this is going to end well.
