    Summary

    ...Then Rhaenyra named them.

    "Jacaerys." She touched the baby with dark hair, and her finger moved to the baby who shared her color. "And Aerion."

    The dragon twins, people called them.
    Favorites of the King. Pride and joy of the Realm's Delight. Beautiful and great as the princes were expected to be.

    But they forgot – every coin that the Gods tossed for each Targaryen always had two sides.

    Summary

    Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”

    Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”

    The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.

    Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.

     

    Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

    Summary

    Boromir has been trained in stewardship of a city at war. He knows how to set guard shifts, how to break through enemy lines, the weak points of a warg. From here to Rivendell, he knows his land, even the crumbling walls of Osgiliath.
    He does not know what flowers are in season, what sweetmeats and breads are acceptable, which wings to open for the elves and the dwarves. He does not know what to do about the fact that he’s offered to teach Aragorn to dance.

    Summary

    Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.

    From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.

    This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.

    will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

    Summary

    "Okay, I know I totally suck for not helping move furniture--" Will starts, setting the bag on Mike's desk with his back turned to the bed. "--but I swear it was for good reasons. And I know you said you didn't want anything for your birthday, but it's been over a week, so it's not technically a birthday gift--" He turns around, pausing when he sees what Mike is holding. "Is that the painting I gave you?"

    "Why did you lie?" Mike asks, immediately.

    -

    Or: Mike Wheeler loses his best friend, breaks up with his girlfriend, comes out twice in one day, and starts rolling a snowball for an avalanche. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe he kissed you in the middle of a baseball field,” Robin exclaims so suddenly, Steve nearly falls off his chair.
    “In the middle of a baseball field in Hawkins, Indiana! Homophobic capital of bumfuck, America. That man is certified insane,” she adds, voice lower this time.
    “Well, yeah! He kissed me out of nowhere and then he just didn’t stop. It’s like he decided for himself that we were gonna have a…a thing, or like, date, and then he just went with it.”

    or, Eddie starts kissing Steve, Steve gets addicted to it, has a crisis, and the rest is history.

    Summary

    “We are more similar than you realize, Will. Both of us were...sensitive children. We were different. Seen as freaks. But we are special. You are special.”

    Will takes a shallow breath, tries to swallow his nerves. He speaks flatly. “And?”

    Henry blinks, seemingly surprised by Will’s coldness. “I chose you that day, you know.”

    And Will sees himself, small and alone, riding his bike through the darkness. He sees the silhouette of something tall and not-human. He sees himself crashing his bike. Running home. But the creature unlocks the door. It follows him into the shed. It gets him.

    “It was you,” Will whispers, a hand coming up to the back of his neck. The monster that took him. The possession. The visions. “It’s always been you.”

    (or the one where will’s connection to the upside down is a crucial part of season 4 instead of him getting sidelined, and how it changes everything)

    Summary

    His voice grows soft, almost longing, as he leans in closer. His breath ghosts over Will's face, and it smells like the Upside Down does—dead, empty. "You, William… when you entered my mind, that is when I knew I had to have you again. That is when I knew I got it right that first night, when Eleven reopened the portal. I heard you calling for me, even across dimensions—"

    "I—I wasn't," Will cuts in, a tremor to his voice. "I never wanted any of this. You're insane!"

    "—sometimes we aren't conscious of what we ask for," Henry smiles then, and his hand moves, thumb shifting to press against Will's mouth. He tightens his lips in response, thinking about that vine down his throat, frozen solid. "How do you think I knew which children to pluck from their homes, which ones to save? There is a connection between all of us that goes beyond what Brenner could do out of every number. When that gate opened, I already knew what I had to do. I had planned it for years. I dreamed of someone like you, and you, in turn, became mine—"

    "Stop," Will begs.

    Summary

    Eddie’s never been a morning person– ignoring the fact that it’s technically the afternoon now– but he thinks the sight of Max cradling El next to a broken skateboard warrants him to pick up the pace a bit. So he sets his mug of coffee down in the grass and takes off at a quick jog, hoping against everything that they won’t be taking anyone to the hospital.

    When Eddie makes his way to stand behind Max and take in the scene before him, he thinks maybe they won’t get so lucky.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry for ruining your night.” A deep shuddering breath echoes through the woods. Steve hurts. His chest aching something awful and so tight he can’t breathe. “I’m so-” his voice breaks as does the damn holding back all his tears. Now it’s Eddie’s turn to feel his eyes burn. “I’m so sorry, Eddie. I’m sorry for everything. I never – I never wanted – I never meant things for to end up like this.”

    Eddie’s brown eyes meet Steve’s hazel. Tears fill Steve’s eyes and despite everything - despite how broken Steve looks, despite how angry Eddie is, he can’t help but think he’s still so beautiful. Eddie wants to say it. Throat aching with the need to say something, anything to get Steve to stay and let him help. It hits Eddie hard that this is the first time he has ever seen Steve cry. Steve who always put on such a strong front, who hid his sadness and fear under false smiles. All the anger and fury from five minutes ago left Eddie only to be replaced by such a twisted feeling that whatever is haunting Steve won’t be stopping anytime soon, and it’s something so much bigger than he could ever imagine.
