Summary
“–anyways, it depends on if I feel like being on time,” Goro finishes, curt to the end.
“Well,” Akira smirks into his McFlurry, looking entirely too pleased for someone who would definitely be waiting no less than twenty minutes in the sun next time. “At least you’re honest.”
(Written for Palette: Goro Akechi Zine, VOL 2)

Summary
Goro had taken the day off, since it was Akira’s first full day back. But it was only 11 in the morning and he already felt...raw, sunburnt, exhausted. It was something he’d expected but had no idea how to prepare for, something that came hand in hand with being in Akira’s orbit.

‘in the cracks of our skin, there’s a memory of a dove’ (atoll - nai palm)
/
“Just relax. Sleep, if it comes to you. I can tell you haven’t been sleeping well.”
Dimitri smiled, dimples reappearing, simple thrill rising in Byleth’s chest at the sight, “Well, I always sleep better by your side.” -

Summary
The hate that he’d convinced himself of was getting harder and harder to grasp fully; it kept slipping through his fingers like the sands of the beaches that were his haunting grounds. It begged the question of what exactly he existed for.
So one day, he stepped out of the shadows, holding a breath he didn’t need to take.

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great.

He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?
Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

Summary
“Will,” Mike starts.
“No, seriously,” Will says. The hand that isn’t holding his beer raises between them, twitching downwards like he’s physically shoving any of Mike’s other questions back down where they came from. “It was a stupid thing to ask.”
Mike shakes his head, then scoots forward, inching closer to Will. “It’s not,” he insists. “If it’s you asking, it’s not stupid, Will.”
On New Year's Eve, 1996, Will asks Mike a question. He gets an answer and then some.
