    Summary

    He thinks it got Will once. The evidence is scattered at best, but it is there. His body was back, sure, and he was warm unlike before. He looked like Will. He acted like Will.

    But that thing is not Will.

    It can’t be.

    It has to be… He doesn’t quite know.

    Mike is determined to find out what it is. He cannot tell anyone, because they will think he has lost his mind. And maybe he has, but he cannot find it in himself to care.

     

    Or: The eerie Mike Wheeler fic where you follow him on his telling of events while he is on brink of insanity. He does not know what, or who for that matter, is real anymore. He starts a journal while he mentally deteriorates about it. Includes the post-apocalyptic, midwest, small town horror vibes that season five should have had.

    Summary

    "Let me take you out," Steve murmurs. His fingertips graze across the back of Jonathan's hand.

    Jonathan's fingers twitch. He digs them into the concrete and clenches his jaw. Something in his gut screams at him to say no, but one look at Steve and his wide doe eyes is enough to make his heart do flips. He swallows and nods. "Yeah," Jonathan whispers. "Take me out."

    or: Jonathan hates Steve. Then, he doesn't.

    Summary

    The weird thing about nights like tonight, though, is that they might be cursed but they’re also the only time Jonathan ever gets to see Steve Harrington without it being unforgivingly awkward. Even if seeing him involves being the one helping him onto a hospital exam table and then standing to the side to provide clumsy emotional support, Jonathan will take it.

    Summary

    “Age of Consent” by New Order blares out, loud enough for Jonathan to hear across the room.  He had been there when Steve chose it a few months ago during another war room: “‘Age of Consent’ is good, I guess.” 

    “It can’t be I guess, dingus!  It has to be enough to save you from a brutal interdimensional death!” Robin snapped.  

    Steve had rolled his eyes.  “What’s Vecna gonna want with me anyways, Rob?  I’ll do ‘Age of Consent.’” 

    Jonathan had known, that night, that it might be the wrong choice.  But he didn’t say anything because it had been years and he could be wrong and maybe some selfish, petty part of him didn’t want to give Steve the satisfaction of Jonathan still knowing.

    Something lifts Steve off of the couch.

    “It’s not working!” Robin screams.  

    And Jonathan knows why it isn’t working.  He remembers.  Whatever high school bullshit Steve has put him through doesn’t particularly matter in the face of watching him be destroyed and turned inside out.  So Jonathan, calmer than he feels, says, “It’s Hank Williams.  Do you have Hank Williams?”

    Summary

    Jonathan,

    Checking to see if I got the right address for you guys. Just in case, you know?

    And I thought you'd want to know that even though the kids miss Will and El a lot they're getting by OK so far. Everybody is a little quieter but Mike isn't showing any signs of deppression which I know was like a legitimate concern. But you probably already hear about him from Nancy so I'm sure you already knew.

    Anyways you don't have to write back if you just put a big check mark over this paper and do the "return to sender" thing or whatever that works and I'll know you got it.
     
    Thanks,
    Steve
