    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    So it had been worrying, but understandable, when El was silent as Vecna fell, especially after screaming her voice hoarse while his brain ripped in half or whatever the hell Synaptic Static did to finish him off. Even understandable when she didn’t say a word on the way back to the Wheelers’ house. It was far from the first time El’s voice had abandoned her; it always found its way back to her eventually, and Max could read her well enough, most times, that it made very little difference.

    But she’d remained mute even throughout the tedious process of cleaning and bandaging and icing all of her various wounds. She’d been present enough to take the ice pack from Max’s hands and hold it to her own cheek, but not enough to provide any kind of response to Max’s quiet Hey, are you sure you’re okay? When Max sat them both down at the dining room table and El still had nothing to say, Max decided it was officially alarming.

    Summary

    “Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”

    Oh.

    Well shit.

    (Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

    Summary

     

    When Wei Ying died, he really did believe it was for the best.

    It had been months in the making—years if he was being honest. His resolve to live was like a cliffside that the ocean’s waves beat against again and again and again. And he did try, really, to live. He tried so hard, that was the worst part. He had tried so hard to live that, when he finally did make the decision to die, the only thing he regretted was all of the wasted effort he had put into pretending like everything would one day be alright.

    That he would wake up one day and feel okay.

    That he wasn’t irrevocably damaged beyond repair.

    or

    Wei Ying commits suicide only to wake up 13 years later in another man's body.
    He gets another chance, whether he wants it or not.

    oR

    WEI YING: Martha!!! I’m coming home sweetie—iM baCk IN ThE fuCkINg BUilDING agAIN!!?!??!?
