    Bookmarker's Notes

    Best Stranger Things fic I've ever read and one of the best fics I've read. The characterization is EXQUISITE. It really captures the effects of abuse, internal and external homophobia, and surviving a small town and high school in 1980s America. The friendships, familial connections, teenage shenanigans, and impending social disasters are all there.

    Summary

    Suddenly, Mike is twelve, teetering on the edge of the quarry. Maybe tomorrow the paramedics will pull him from the same exact place they found Will's body. It’s a comforting thought, morbidly enough. To die for his friends. To be with Will again.

    or: Mike Wheeler has no good, horrible, very bad evening.

    Summary

    “No.” The word escapes Mike’s lips, and it’s barely a whisper. Tears blur his vision, and he turns back around to El, trembling. “N-no, that… that can’t be right… Will… he-he can’t be gone, El; he can’t be dead—”

    “Oh, Mike,” El whispers. She reaches up, wiping the tears from Mike’s eyes, and there’s a look on her face—so tender and so, so kind. “Isn’t this what you wanted?”

    Her words hit like a bucket of ice water being dumped on him, and Mike recoils, staring at his girlfriend—no, wait, his wife—in horror. “W-what? How… how could you say that, El? How could you say that?!”
     

    Or:

    An encounter with Vecna forces Mike to reconsider just what it is he really wants in his life.

    Summary

    Billy smirks at him, white teeth glinting: “Finish up, why don’t you? You’re making me regret choosing you to cheat off, King Steve-”

    “Don’t. Call. Me. That.”

    “Okay....” Billy says, mock sweet. “How about... princess?”

    (Or: Steve doesn't know if he hates or loves the pet names; all he knows is that Billy confuses him.)

    Summary

    Move on. Let it heal.

    Maybe that’s why Steve said yes when Max asked him to help move boxes out of Billy’s room after the dust settled. He could hear her voice. Too many. Too heavy.

    Just like his wounds. His grief. Too many. Too heavy.

    (Or, Steve steals the glass ashtray from Billy's bedside table and things start to go bump in the night.)
