    Summary

    He sits at his desk and thinks to himself about the story he can never tell.

    It isn't the story of the mage; that, perhaps, is the easiest story to tell. An acceptable one, a story of love and loss, of power and politics, of magic and monsters.

    The stories he grew up on are the same stories he's doomed to tell now. Of supernatural entities and learned helplessness.

    No, the story he can never tell is one he's never seen or read before. One that could never have a happy ending.

    It goes like this:

    Four boys playing a tabletop role-playing game in a basement. Loud, chaotic, wild. There is a distinct air of youth surrounding them. They are untouched by trauma and unharmed by life.

    or

    mike wheeler, grief, and the (love) story he cannot tell.

    Summary

    All this time, he’d thought El was penance, for his failure to protect Will. That being with her was atonement, for wanting the wrong things, for feeling the wrong way. But it hadn’t helped— Will kept leaving. And El did, too. Mike keeps losing people, and nothing he does brings them back.

    Each time Mike thinks of Will, he feels the weight of cosmic responsibility.

    He's doesn't know what he feels for Will anymore. But he knows for certain that it isn't allowed.

    non-linear series retrospective, from mike's perspective. (aka: the mike pov we all deserved)

    Summary

    “So. Logical conclusion?” Dustin grinned down at him, pleased. “You’re in love with Mike and heartbroken that he and El made up. You’re welcome.”

    Will sighed. “Dustin, I already knew I was in love with Mike.”

     

    Will Byers is not avoiding his friends—he’s just busy.

    Busy avoiding Mike Wheeler, busy lying about homework, and busy trying (and failing) to get over the boy he’s been in love with for years.

    Unfortunately, Dustin Henderson has noticed. And he has a plan.

    Summary

    Harry felt Malfoy's breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory.
     
    Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy.

     Malfoy felt inevitable.
