Summary
“Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”
Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”
“If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”
In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.
So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

the windows of this love by delusionaltogether (Whyyyyy)

Summary
Will smiles encouragingly at him, swiping his tears away and kissing his forehead again. "Let's make a deal, okay?" he murmurs, voice low and full of a bittersweet sort of hope. "If in five years we're both doing better, and we're not dating anyone else-" Mike blanches at the concept of dating anyone else, of Will dating anyone else- "we can try again, okay?"
Five years sounds like a terribly long time. In five years, Mike will be twenty-three. He'll be done with college, will have a career, could be living anywhere in the world for all he knows, and the same goes for Will.
But five years is a whole lot less than forever, so Mike will take it.
In the summer of 1989, Mike and Will fall apart. Five years later, they fall back together.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Will asks, "What if you were talking to a friend who was a girl?" but he doesn't mean Max, Mike’s actual friend who is a girl. No, Will’s asking what would you tell me if I were a girl? and the answer to that is something entirely different.
Because if Will were a girl, they wouldn’t be having this conversation at all. If Will were a girl, he wouldn’t be asking questions about how to ask a guy out, because he and Mike would already be dating.
In which Mike has kind of a rough time in college, and talks on the phone about it a lot.

Summary
“Woah,” Will whispers to himself incredulously, laughing a little under his breath as he shuffles through the pages of the letter again. He can’t help but admire the smooth, off-white stationery, its pleasant weight in his hands. A serious-looking “MJW” watermark adorns the top of each page, totally at odds with the entertaining missive and its author’s garbled cursive. Will laughs quietly to himself again. What sixteen-year-old boy on earth has monogrammed stationery?
Michael J. Wheeler, apparently. Where did Max find this guy?
Mike Wheeler is insecure, even by normal teenage standards. So when his friend, Max, connects him with her old friend from California, he's surprised by how easily they get along. But as the weeks wear on, their letters grow increasingly personal, and they make plans to embark on a week-long trip, Mike can't let go of one inconvenient, anxiety-inducing thought: What if he wants to be more than friends?

Summary
Everything about them had a steady pace: a couple hundred tiny steps and then one big leap, like the way the wind would blow against a door that never closed all the way, little by little until eventually it flew open all at once.
Or the story of how two walking disasters gradually stumble into something beautiful.

Summary
“Bellamy! You—you need to go back, now. Turn around and run. There's a manual override, but it won't give us enough time. We won't make it back. Not both of us.”
“If you think I'm leaving you here, you're insane. Tell me how to override it, and you go back.”
“You'll die if you stay behind,” Clarke grits out, yanking the pack and cord and glancing at her watch. Just under ten minutes now. Her heart stutters. “Bellamy, if you don't go now—”
“I'm not leaving you,” Bellamy says fiercely, reaching out to grasp the pole of the tower, mimicking her motions with a stubborn set to his jaw. “Either we both make it, or neither of us do. Now tell me what to do, and let's get it done.”
Clarke closes her eyes briefly, swallowing down her frustration and grief. Now isn't the time for it. She knows that changing Bellamy’s mind is next to impossible when he's dead-set on something. She just wishes he wasn't so set on dying alongside her.
“Climb,” Clarke snaps, then proceeds to take her own advice, focusing on the task at hand.
~~~
Or, the one where Bellamy and Clarke are stranded together on the last inhabitable patch of earth for six years and seven days.

Summary
“You turned me,” Hansol says. That’s what’s happened. He’s sure. He lifts his thumb to his mouth anyway, pressing the pad into his canine. It doesn’t quite break the skin, but it’s sharp enough that it could. “Did I die?”
“Not quite,” Jeonghan plucks the pen out from behind his ear, holding it between his teeth to uncap it. He picks up his notebook and scribbles something down. “It was close. Not as close as Channie, but close enough that we were worried. You’ve been out for about a month.”
“Oh, fuck,” Hansol pushes himself to sit, but gets so dizzy that he slumps back down right away. “I missed Return of the Jedi?”

The thing was, despite Mingyu’s insistences, Seungkwan wasn’t brave.
He knows this now.
Seungkwan was stupid. He wasn’t brave, because it hadn’t occurred to him that it would be a risk to offer Hansol his heart. He was stupid, because he thought Hansol felt the same way.

Summary
“How’s this,” Foggy finally says. “When you think you’re healed up enough to go out again, you let me know so I can stay at your place that night.”
Matt opens his mouth to respond, then closes it again, considering. “Won’t that be the least restful time to crash at my apartment?”
“Objectively yes,” Foggy agrees. “But you’re missing the tradeoff: every night that I sleep at home before then, I’ll do it knowing that you’re not out getting your ass kicked.”
Matt and Foggy establish a new routine. It involves a lot of crashing on Matt's couch.
