Summary
Maedhros watches him for long moments, his eyes cold in the dim light of morning. “If I wanted to talk to you, I would ask, not use my brother to trick you.”
The implication lands like a blow, precise and devastating. Finrod takes another step closer, then stops himself, fists clenching at his sides. Maedhros has ever been like this, to him—every single word eliciting a reaction; making him fly, bringing him low, tearing him open. What a terrible thing to still find it true, so many years and betrayals later.
Once, Fingon and Maedhros had been Finrod's lovers, the past participle of it carrying the sentence. As it turns out, not everything agrees to be relegated so neatly.

Summary
How high a price, not only for words but for blood on holy shores? For smoke on the horizon? For trust and love unyielding, tossed aside in the hours of one dark night? And what, then, the price for unearned forgiveness? For offering the other cheek, for offering to slay kin all over, again, again, again in his name?
“Would you have come with me, if I had asked?” The truth is, Fingon is not sure of the answer. The truth is, he had asked himself, nights on end, what the answer to that question would be. Had asked himself where they had gone so wrong, that he no longer knew.
“Would you have asked, if you were sure of the answer?”
Fingon rescues Maedhros. He and Finrod grapple with the aftermath.

Summary
“Can I not what?” he asks, at last. “What do you want me to say, Nolvo—oh no, brother, please do not wed, so that we may continue our ill-advised perversion behind closed doors? Do you want me to fuck you slow and gentle, tell you that it has always been you? That I will ruin your wedding and leave my wife, so we may run away to live life—“
Nolofinwë reverses their positions with such force that Fëanáro is slammed into the wood panelling, all air punched out of his lungs. This is more like it; this is how they began, what they know; what is, in the end, all they ever ought to be to each other—Nolofinwë’s features contorted in fury and hurt, Fëanáro baring his teeth like he is just waiting to cause more of the same.
They stay there for a moment, both breathing harshly, a precipice that is only waiting for them to fall.
Fëanor, Fingolfin, and their last night before Fingolfin is to be wed.

Summary
His brother has returned for the first time in four hundred years, and Fingon does not want to start a fight. He is glad; he is. It has been so long since there was anyone he called family to lean on. It has been so long since he heard Turgon’s booming laughter, his haughty commentary from beneath his breath that he would deny uttering to anyone but his siblings. Since Fingon thought of his younger brother and felt anything that was simple and fond, rather than complicated, threaded through with resentment, and guilt, and anger that tastes a little too much like regret.
“Findekáno,” Turgon says, and this is the lesson his father never finished teaching—how to swallow the words, and how to keep them off his face, too.
Fingon and Turgon, and their long-awaited reunion at the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

Summary
From one panting breath to the next, the forest goes silent and empty, its absence like a blow. The shadows lengthen, thicken, turning into a tangible, weighty thing that shivers across Celegorm’s skin. It is silent, and he is alone. The hair on his body stands with dread and shivering anticipation.
He turns still. Against the back of his neck, he can feel hot breath; can feel the presence, wrapping itself around him, both home and threat.
“Do you think you can outrun me?”
Celegorm refuses to return. Oromë gets inventive about it.

Summary
He watches Mike turn to smile at El as Lucas digs Skittles and Kit Kats out of the vending machine, and he wants to bang his head against a wall. Dramatic, maybe, but he thinks he’s earned the right to be just a little dramatic. If nothing else, it would get Mike’s attention.
Will closes his eyes, free hand running through his hair. When he opens them again, Mike is standing in the middle of the room with his arms full of candy, looking nervously between Will and El, who’s moved to sit three seats down with her nose in a magazine.
He’s going to go to El. He’s going to go sit with her and try to patch things up because their relationship is...on the rocks or whatever and El is the only thing he cares about anyway, so -
“Hey,” Mike says.
Will blinks up at him, grip on the armrest automatically loosening (but only just). Mike gives him this timid sort of half-smile that Will doesn’t return. “Hi.”
Stranger Things 3 missing scene fic in which Mike actually apologizes for his and Will's fight in episode 3.

Summary
The world is quite literally ending. His girlfriend just broke up with him. Mike can't stop thinking about Will.
“Will can stay with me.”
Will looks up from the spot he was looking at on the floor. “What? I can?”
“Stay at my house tonight.”
Will plays with his own fingers. Mike can't stop looking at them. “What? Mike, why? I’ll be okay here.”
“It’s just one night,” Mike says, a little loudly, a little desperate.
“Okay,” Will replies, a little loudly, also a little desperate, a little too fast like he had been meaning to say yes the entire time. “Yeah… Yeah, I’ll stay over.”
And now they’re here. Both sitting on Mike’s bed with the most crushing tension hanging over them. Mike wants to die in it.

Summary
Maybe all the monster fighting did a number of Mike, because he cannot for the life of him remember Will coming out to him.
Either his memory is messed up, or he woke up in the alternative reality in which it isn’t a taboo subject, because Will just casually mentioned liking guys and Mike is not taking it personally at all.
Or; mike panics about will liking guys and tries to be normal about it (it doesn’t even last a day)

Summary
“No,” Mike says forcefully, and then, with a frustrated sound, “I mean- yes, I don’t know. What I mean is, it’s bullshit that you had to deal with that, and it’s bullshit that you have to deal with-” here he gestures wildly to, Will assumes, the general shitshow that their lives have become, “all of this, and I just…” he sighs, and lets his hand fall to rest on top of Will’s. The contact, the casualness with which he initiates it, surprises Will so much that he stops trying to strangle his pinky finger with the couch thread. “You should have the things you want,” Mike says, squeezing Will’s hand.

Summary
“I’m not moping,” Mike sighs, sounding objectively pretty mopey, “I’m just…”
Their sides are already all but pressed together, thanks to the relatively narrow space the bed provides, but Will nudges his thigh into Mike’s too, just to complete the line. “Just what?”
Mike sighs again, this time more frustrated than dejected. “Well, it’s weird, right?” he asks, rhetorically Will assumes, “because we’ve been obsessing for ages over how to save the world and get back to normal, but now that it’s actually happened, I’m realizing that none of us ever talked about what getting back to normal means.”
“Ah.” Will smiles to himself a little. “You want a plan.”the world stops ending. mike has some feelings about it.
