    Summary

    In between the shelves of a dusty book shop, Mike Wheeler's world falls right back of it's axis.

    — •

    Apricity (adj.)
    A rare and obsolete word for the rare but welcome warmth of the sun in winter.

     

    Or, the one where Mike has lost Will way too many times already-and even now doesn't think he can ever get him back. Not when Will doesn't even remember him.

    Summary

    "Tell me a secret?"

    Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.

    Will is a terrible person.

    I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.

    "I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."

    Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.

    "Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."

    or

    They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

    Summary

    “I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”

    Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.

    Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.

    Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.

    OR,

    At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

    Summary

    “Will,” she says. “It’s okay.”

    He blinks. “What?”

    She swallows. “It’s okay to love.”

    Will stares at her, wide-eyed and startled, like she’s reached inside his chest and flipped a switch he didn’t know existed.

    Summary

    “Now that everything’s out in the open,” Vi started again, her voice heavy, heady, husky, “the question is: what are you gonna do about it?”

    Caitlyn worked her jaw, looking like she was stumped on a bar exam question. “What are you going to do about it?”

    Vi chuckled. “Attorneys and their fucking questions.”

    OR
    Caitlyn and Vi work at a law firm together, and Vi keeps purposely spelling Caitlyn’s name wrong in their email exchanges. Caitlyn is not amused, until she is.

    OR
    A fic in which Vi calls Caitlyn: “Corncob Kiramman” at least once.
