And At Every Table, I'll Save You A Seat by LondonDziban

Summary
Mike caps the cup and slides it across the pickup counter to Will, following it up with a wrapped straw and his wrapped lemon loaf immediately after. “Medium iced chai with oat milk and brown sugar syrup, and a lemon loaf for yellow flannel guy!”
Will grabs his straw, shooting a disapproving look at Mike as he carefully unwraps it. “Remind me to never wear this flannel in public again.” He grabs his drink, slipping his straw into it with steady hands.
“Nah, it looks nice on you. Don’t let me stop you, Just Will.” Mike is grinning so hard his face hurts. He’s more awake than he was previously, most of his exhaustion washing away throughout this interaction.
Will sighs, his cheeks going slightly red at Mike’s compliment, bringing his straw to his pink lips and taking a small sip. Mike watches Will’s gaze travel down to Mike’s chest, his eyes stopping on his name tag for only a second before they dip slightly lower. His lips quirk up into a small smile as he swallows his sip of chai. “I like your pin, by the way.”
Or
Mike works at the on-campus coffee shop and Will really likes iced chais.

Summary
Mike tilted his head. “First time here?”
“Yeah. My usual place closed for a bit.”
“Well, lucky for me,” Mike said, almost to himself, then immediately flushed, eyes darting down. “Uh, lucky for us, I mean. You know. The café. Business and all.”
Will felt his face heat up but couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped him. “Right. Of course. For business.”
💕💕💕
Will walks into a café looking for coffee and a place to draw.
He walks out with a crush on the barista.
A fluffy modern Byler AU featuring sketchbooks, movie nights, mutual pining, and falling in love.

My Soul Has Your Claim, My Soul Is In Flames by queen-of-voltronian (TellyMauve)

Summary
Does anyone know Lance is in love with Keith?
Of course not. And Lance would very much like to keep it that way, thank you! Keith already doesn't want anything to do with him ever since coming back from that space whale; the last thing Lance needs on top of his crumbling self-worth and shaky standing in the team is a rejection that shatters his heart in pieces, too.
But now, Lance got himself in a bit of a pickle. Which is fine, because Lance has a plan to get out of it! A wonderful, brilliant, masterful, completely fool-proof plan. His team won't look at him like he's more incompetent than they already do, he won't have to spend the rest of his life trapped on some alien planet, and Keith will never find out just how head over heels he is for him. It's a win-win-win situation.
Of course, with Keith, things are never quite so simple, and Lance's plan soon causes a domino effect that changes the entire course of his life.
Or:
Maybe Lance should have been a little more specific when he said he'd do anything to get home. Because now...
"You must bestow a kiss on the one your soul most desires."
...Fuck.

Summary
Keith and Lance unknowingly inhale an alien aphrodisiac during a simple resource retrieval mission. But unlike the common aphrodisiac, this particular one reactivates under certain unknown conditions, later leaving them craving in situations that don't necessarily present them with many options. Keith tries to work through it, concerned with the sudden lack of control of his body, until he realizes the same thing is happening to Lance. So...great. How are they supposed to deal with this, keep it a secret, AND tend to the thousands of other responsibilities that come with defending the universe? (Together, of course.)

Summary
“What... what are you trying to imply?” Mike’s voice was so quiet, and for a terrifying second, Robin was convinced she had read the situation incorrectly, her body freezing up in fear. She just doomed not just herself, but Will, too. She felt sick to her stomach.
“I’m not implying anything, Mike,” Robin started. “I’m just stating what I see.”
Post S5 EP4:Robin realized that she misjudged Mike.

Summary
“Alright,” he says with a nonchalant shrug. Then, he turns and looks Will dead in the eye. “So, should we talk about your love life then?”
Will’s eyes widen, and once again, the warmth spreads across his cheeks. “W-what?” he stammers, fighting the urge to look over at Mike.
The smirk on Murray’s face only grows, and instead of answering Will’s question, he turns to look at Mike. “Or maybe your love life, Wheeler?” he ponders. “Or I’ve got a better idea… we can kill two birds with one stone and talk about both of you at once!”
Or:
The one in which Murray finally has a chat with Will and Mike.

Summary
“Have you noticed the signals?” Robin asks softly.
Will freezes. He’s quiet for one… two… three moments, before slowly, he lifts his head and meets Robin’s gaze. His eyes are still wide—full of an understandable uncertainty but also a hope that’s so infectious that Robin can’t help but smile.
“I… I think so,” he confesses. “I… I don’t know if they actually mean anything, but… but everything you said to look for… all those signals…”
His voice trails off, and Robin offers a wry smile, finishing the thought for him, “They’re definitely there.”

The one in which Robin witnesses a snowball become an avalanche.

Summary
Robin had no idea what to say.
"I mean, how old are you anyway? 18? 19?" Mike continued.
"Dustin and Steve are like best friends." Robin frowned. "Why is my being friends with Will a problem for you?"
"That's not what I— never mind." Mike began to dress the wound.
Holy shit.
Mike Wheeler was not Tammy Thompson.
"Oh, what, Wheeler, Will and I — we're just friends. Like 100% platonic. With a giant, capital 'P'. I mean, seriously, this 'P' could not be any bigger," Robin nearly laughed.
Mike swallowed. "Oh."

Summary
“Are you offended that people think we’re dating?”
“No,” Mike says immediately. “Of course not,” because, again, he should be so lucky.
Will’s baffled expression does not change. “Then why would I be?”
“So– okay, fine, whatever. Should we, like, tell them to get their heads out of their asses and that we’re not– um– dating, or–”
“I think,” Will cuts in, “well. You know what would be funny?”
Honestly, Mike doesn't know what he thought being Will Byers' fake-boyfriend would entail, but he definitely didn't think it would involve this many ugly Christmas sweaters.

Summary
Kaitlyn watched as the car dropped, crushing the beast below it. She panted, watching as the creature lay still, leaving her safe. "You did it!" She called, "You got it! Dylan! Dylan?"
She got no response.
Scrambling to her feet she rushed to the stairs, racing up to the crane room. Dylan was tilted forwards, chin to chest, eyes fluttering closed, open, closed, open like he could barely stay awake.
The adrenaline had run out.

“Wow, these woods are so huge. I lost something in them, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get it back,” Dylan says.
Ryan raises an eyebrow, like he might already know where this is headed. “What?”
“My number. Think I could borrow yours?”
And he smiles, despite how hard he’s trying to look annoyed, and Dylan would maybe give anything to see that smile again. “You’re gonna have to try harder than that.”

“This doesn’t mean anything, right?” Natsuki had whispered, inches from Yuri. As the words left her lips, she regretted them. “Just… y’know. Practice.”
“Y-yes,” Yuri had responded, voice low. She removed her hand from Natsuki’s cheek. “Practice.”
