    Summary

    Miles has a very serious question. Hobie has answers, even if they're not the ones Miles is looking for.

    A short shot at my favourite trope, an older queer softly guiding a young queer into having questions about the world.

    Summary

    "Todd’s first semester at Welton marks the moment he stops going to church. There are regular Masses offered in the chapel, but whenever Todd thinks about going he’s overwhelmed by nausea and has to hover in the bathrooms until he’s sure he won’t vomit. When he was a kid and he thought God was just a pair of arms open in embrace, he would have jumped at the chance to attend, to sing from the hymnal and listen to homily and absorb the sacrament of blood and body. Now, God seems like a distant thing."

    Todd finds himself struggling with his family's faith in the newfound light of his feelings for Neil Perry. Fortunately, a good support system goes a long way.

    Summary

    “Do we get second chances in this life, Todd?” Neil asks him like he expects a negative answer. Todd doesn’t give that to him.
    “Yes. We do. I know it.”
    “Do you?” Neil grins, playfully elbowing him. “Did you at least wait to take it? That second chance? Until the world was more peaceful? More kind?”

    Ten years after the death of Neil Perry, Todd Anderson wakes up with a second chance.

    Summary

    It’s just past midday on a Saturday in the middle of summer break, and Will thinks that he’s in love. It’s not a new thought — after his first oh crap I think I love my best friend realization at thirteen, Will’s spent a good four years coming to terms with it. Somewhere along the way it became a fact of life; the sky is blue, Dungeons and Dragons is the best tabletop game in the world, Will’s entire existence revolves around his undying adoration for Mike Wheeler.

    in which will loves mike almost as much as he hates himself

    Summary

    It’s always been Mike and Will since the day that they met, and so life goes as follows – they stick by one another throughout everything, from campaigns to demogorgons, and yet somehow they can’t quite see what it is they’ve been missing (or ignoring) this whole time.

    or
    five times that others noticed how mike felt + the one time that will did.

    Summary

    “Dude!” Eddie snapped, cutting off Steve talking about how Robin’s hair had a 'cute' little cowlick at the back. “I hate to tell you this but… Shit. Dude, your girlfriend is a lesbian!”

    To Eddie’s surprise, Steve began to laugh.

     
    Or: Eddie thinks Steve and Robin are dating and hates every second of it.

    Summary

    “Maybe we could come out together, one day,” Neil says, and there’s a tenderness in his voice that a more naive person would mistake for love. But not Todd. He’s not stupid. He lets Neil hold his hand for a moment longer, savors the feeling of the other boy’s thumb grazing his knuckles, before removing his hand, and responding in a detached, blase way:

    “Yeah, maybe.” 

     

    The five times Todd almost comes out to Neil, and the one time he does.

    Summary

    My dearest beloved,
    It is with great relief that I finally write to you. I think it doubtful for my words to ever reach your ears, but spare me this chance to lend you a piece of my thoughts — and only a piece, for I must write with caution lest I be discovered.

    Neil, amidst his own internal emotional conflict, accidentally stumbles upon letters Todd had been writing in secret to an unknown recipient. Neil (an idiot) continues to intrude on Todd's privacy by reading each new letter in secret, continuously agitating over their purpose.

    Summary

    Eddie won't stop touching anyone and everyone, except for Steve. He has a plan to change that.

    *

    “You can touch me.” That was not how Steve intended for it to come out. He opened his mouth and closed it a few times.

    Eddie had frozen with his fingers halfway to his mouth. Smoke curled from his cigarette between them. He raised his eyebrows, then frowned, then bit his lip.

    “I can-” Eddie said slowly, his face still rolling through several emotions without landing on one- “touch you?”

    Summary

    “Munson, you don’t need to apologize. You’ve had probably the worst three consecutive days in human history.” He rested a hand on Eddie’s shoulder, squeezing gently and flushing red when the other boy turned his head, eyebrow cocked. He swooned dramatically, pressing the back of his hand against his forehead, fluttering his eyes at Steve. “Oh fair King, I could never accept such kind words from the likes of you, I’m just a simple freak after all.”

    It was jarring how quickly Munson could slip into a persona, all wide eyes and white teeth, leering into Steve’s space. A laugh bubbled out of him and he shoved Eddie, sending the boy back a few paces. “You’re something else man.” But Eddie was smiling, the tinge of fear gone from his eyes, and Steve took that as a win.

    ***

    Steve didn’t know why he was so fascinated with Eddie Munson, but he wasn’t going to let himself think too hard about it.

    Summary

    “Weirdly specific. Getting pretty warm.” Steve pauses and wonders aloud, “Why do I seem like a Halloween guy?”

    “Well, it’s less like you seem like a Halloween guy and more that you’ve got the whole never dying thing down pat. Very Michael of you,” Eddie tells him this like it’s a compliment and not at all a strange connection to make. “So, it’s a slasher. Is it Halloween?”

    or Steve tries to romance Eddie while not doing that at all mostly there's a single gift giving and a horror movie.

    "As a fellow demo bat Happy Meal, how are you?”

    “Got the stitches out a month ago. Guess they thought you tasted better.”

    “Interesting observation. I wonder if we could test that out?” Eddie says from next to him, speaking mostly to himself as he nibbles on the skin around his nails.

    Summary

    Dustin watches Eddie's face as everyone else giggles. He's retained his typical intimidating smirk for much of this encounter, but as Steve stumbles through his fictional seduction, Eddie's eyes soften. His smirk slowly turns to a small grin.

    “Didn't Wizard Romeo and Juliet both die?” he asks, in that same low, grumbly voice he always loves to use for big scary bad guys. The effect is jarring.

    “Well, yes, but… they loved each other first,” Steve says, oddly sincere. “I think love is worth the risk. Wouldn't you agree? And then, uh, I'm gonna take off my helmet and, like—” Steve tosses his hair, shaking it out dramatically and running a hand through it afterward to fix any wayward strands.

    "Ew,” Mike says.

    Nancy presses a hand over her mouth, but it does nothing to hide her smile. Usually, this is the point where Eddie would make them all roll initiative. Dustin has his D20 ready. But Eddie smiles. Eddie fucking smiles, and not in that maniacal way he does before siccing something horrific on them, he fucking beams, and says, "You're gonna scrape your neck on his mace doing that, just so you know."

    Summary

    It starts like this: Steve, waiting in his car to pick up Dustin and friends from a session of their Chutes and Ladders club or whatever. Waiting kind of impatiently, to be honest, even though it’s not like he has anywhere else to be because Robin’s busy tonight and, as he well knows by this point, saving the world doesn’t get you a girlfriend or glory or even a second age-appropriate friend, it just gets you another evening shift at Family Video and a long personal to-do list.

     

     

     

    In the spring and summer of 1986, Steve Harrington contends with the biases of the day, hatches several plans, and finally really gets to know Eddie Munson.

    Summary

    Steve goes home, in the end. He had tossed the thought of staying at the Henderson’s around, halfway honest about wanting it, but he went home instead.

    He pulls up outside his house and sort of looks up at the top windows; the briefest glance of his bedpost, real mahogany, flashes under the pale streetlamps. The foyer is colored warm orange— someone is home.

    For a second Steve desperately hopes that he’s being robbed.
