Summary
"You're..." Mike shifts again, closer, his breath fans across Will's neck. "You're my only best friend."
Even though the words squeeze his throat to a painful extent, he mutters, "For— for now."
"I don't want another one," He glares. "I want you."
Just a few months before graduation, when the rest of the party has been moved from Hawkins after the-almost-end-of-the-world, Mike and Will are left to complete their senior year together. Mike, who's been giving off mixed, vague signals for far too long, and Will, who can't seem to shake the remnants of his nightmares and the last six years of misery. As the New Year grows closer, Mike and Will must reckon with each other and the distance thrust between them before it's too wide to cross.

Summary
“And why come back when so many are leaving Hawkins?”
Will slowed without meaning to. The leaves under his shoes crackled. “I–”
What should he tell this stranger that wouldn’t reveal the fact that his sister had superpowers and might actually be the only key to save this entire town from a monstrous maniac?
“Well, everyone I know is here,” he murmured. “I couldn’t… just leave them.”
The man hummed softly, then he lifted his head to scan over the woods, a faint whistle came from his lips, before his gaze landed onto Will again.
“Maybe something here wanted you back.”

words won't be able to describe how much i recommend this fic. the time devoted to each character and their characterization is unmatched. it feels like i'm reading a published novel, and that's not fair. why is this free?

Summary
Angel, 24 and broke, moves into a cheap apartment nestled in a crime-ridden neighbourhood. He expects theft, break-ins and murders, but not the weird trio of a family that lives next door — Dumb, Dumber, and their legal guardian, Aki Hayakawa.
Before Angel knows it, he is pulled deeper into the family’s difficult past, and finds himself flung far out of his comfort zone. Together, the four of them grow to understand and find solace in one another, carving out a better future for themselves.
