Summary
There’s nothing to be seen here. Maybe the scar just wants to be bitchy. Maybe the door will show up in a few moments. Either way, Yuri is done with whatever this is. He turns and goes to open the door-
And it won’t move.

Summary
“What, so you just haven’t slept at all in the forty-something years you’ve been dead?”
Yuri shakes his head slowly and shifts his hands to rub gently over Charley’s denim-covered calves. “Not a wink.”

Sometimes death is more tiring than life, and sometimes you just need to be held.

Summary
They walk off, unbothered and unknowing, and Yuri looks back up at the empty space where the boy’s presence once lit up the room, and an ache forms in his chest. One that he hasn’t felt in decades.

Before, Kurt had always thought a brush of fingertips was as romantic as it could get. He obviously had been wrong.

Summary
“So. The church?” Miike asked.
“The church.” Will said firmly.
The building radiated with a sort of holy innocence, looking almost untouched and definitely out of place in the Upside Down. Will jiggled the front door handle and groaned. “Locked.” He thought for a moment. “Stand back, Mike.”
Mike did, watching Will back up a few feet. “What are you-”
Will began in a running start before throwing the weight of his body against the door with a bang. The door swung open but Will kept his balance, wincing. “That was loud. And kind of stupid.”
“Are you kidding me?” Mike stared at him in a sort of awe. “I’ve only ever seen people do that in movies. Holy shit. That was epic.”
“Oh shut up.” Will blushed. “It was nothing.” As they made their way into the church, Will took off his jacket, slinging it over his shoulder and stretching out his arm. Mike watched the muscles in his back strain against his t-shirt, his biceps and lats bulge from the simple stretch. Mike swallowed, hard.
“Hey, it’s not too bad in here.”

Summary
Mike gazed out over the lake as they steadied the boat, sitting down on the old, splintered planks which served as benches. The gate ripped like fire across the water. The authorities had long since stopped placing security alongside the entire edge of the tear in the earth. It just sat, smoldering, hellish. Somehow gravity played into this whole thing, and the water of the lake… hadn’t fallen through the gate.
The beach they pushed off from was actually oddly tranquil.
Will grabbed the paddles. “God, we should’ve at least left a note or something-”
“Will.” Mike said seriously. “You can go back if you want. I wouldn’t blame you.”
“No, no, I- it’s just bad in there, Mike.”
What had he been thinking? Mike suddenly felt incredibly guilty. Pulling Will back into the Upside Down after what’d happened-
“Shit, Will. I didn’t even think,” Mike said anxiously. “If you-”
Will looked him dead in the eyes. “Absolutely not. I'm not going anywhere.” He began shrugging off his jacket.
Mike’s heart did something funny in his chest. “Cool.”
