Summary
Shauna Shipman was supposed to go to Rutgers and live in a pink and green room. (Shauna was going to go to Brown, but that doesn’t matter anymore). She was supposed to date horrible boys and get drunk at parties and come home every night to Jackie Taylor.
Instead, Taissa kisses Van in the middle of camp and Melissa twines her fingers with Shauna’s in the quiet sunset hours.
(or; Tai tries to play therapist and Shauna is having none of it)

Summary
Will moves back to an upright position, wiping his hair out of his eyes, head and shoulders peeking above the water. “Mike,” he says, pulling Mike up with him, their fingers still intertwined.
“Yeah?” Mike says, tilting his head so the water trickles out of his ears, wincing slightly. “What is it?”
Will’s eyes dart back and forth between his, and then Mike feels his hand squeeze his own. “I don’t want you to, like, think I moved back for you,” he starts, which in and of itself would be enough to get Mike’s soul soaring straight out of his own body, if it weren’t for Will’s thumb pressed against his pulse point like some kind of mortal tether. “Because it’s not like that, I promise. But I think– I think I realized there’s a difference between things you want and things you need, you know?”
mike wheeler on losing people and having them again, the difference between wanting and needing, and finally letting go.

Summary
Mike thinks back to the painting Will gave him, rolled up and placed carefully in his dresser drawer, because for some reason it felt too wrong to hang it up on the walls with everything else. Too intimate. Like Will had made it for his eyes only. Or, apparently as everyone else thought, some mystery lover in California. And then he thinks about Will dozing off on his bed, and saying I think I’m in love with you all soft and slowed down from the inertia of sleep, and that’s right about when Mike starts to feel seriously lightheaded. He leans back against his bed and focuses very hard on taking deep, even breaths.
Mike contemplates his feelings for Will Byers, partakes in a concerning amount of swooning, and learns to drive. Sort of.

Summary
The lanceboard of the gods is set; the pieces laid out. The world will be toppled; the cult of the Absolute will win.
Or it would win, if a discarded piece had not been returned to the board...
Years after fleeing demons in the underdark, a very dead paladin has woken up with a tadpole in her eye, a gaggle of party members who don't realise they shouldn't listen to her yet, and several unanswered questions in her head.
And Shadowheart wonders why nobody else seems to realise that their new leader can't go five minutes without lying.
