Summary
The last moments of the battle between Toman and Kanto Manji.
After the long-awaited reunion between Koko and Inupi, many difficulties, fears and regrets, the two can finally be together and get to know each other again.
Focus on their first night together after years of separation.
***
That moment was detached from everything else in the universe. It was just them, two souls finally reunited after too much time and suffering.
***
He guessed what Koko was doing, but there was no need.
No need to hide behind a sad smile like the night of Tanabata when he brought Hanagaki to him, no need to fake confidence or to pretend everything was okay when it wasn’t.
Seishu wanted Koko to know he was there for him, no matter what, on the good and bad days alike.Series

Summary
Executive Timeline (the one where Koko and Inupi are introduced for the first time).
Three days before the executives meeting at the restaurant, Koko's IT company is searched by the police. Obviously, it is a very stressful day for him, but Inupi is always by his side.
***
Nothing like that ever happened.
Toman indirectly controlled a great part of the police, they had been untouchable for years at that point. Something big is about to happen.
“One word, Koko”, Inui caresses Hajime’s cheek. One word and he’d been with Koko for the better or the worse.
“I know”.
Hajime stands up, to kiss Inui like it is the last time.
And maybe it is.
Maybe the police had already found the evidence they needed to arrest him and that is just a way to lure him out. They don’t know. What they know is that they are ready to fight back.
“I love you Seishu”.
“I love you Hajime. It’s gonna be alright”. -
What would you like for your birthday? by zaen

Summary
Just something short set in the final timeline for Inupi's birthday.
●・○・●・○・●
“And enlighten me, Inupi, why should I waste all that money on your birthday gift?”
“Because-” Seishu stopped himself just in time.
Probably saying because you love me would have been a little too much, considering that, while they have been dancing around the topic for a while, and they even almost kissed once, before being inadvertently interrupted by some of their Toman’s subordinates, they never really talked about their feelings for each other.“Because I’m your best friend and you care about me”

Summary
What were Koko and Inupi doing before being kidnapped by Sanzu and Mucho?
Possibilities are endless, this is just one of them
●○●○●○●○●
Sometimes it was difficult for Koko to keep eye contact with Inupi. It wasn’t because of his beautiful yet unusual eyes, inherited by his maternal grandfather, he was used to them since when they were children. It was their magnetism, how Koko felt it was impossible to escape his gaze even if he’d wanted to.
[…]
Likewise, Seishu was aware that sometimes his feelings were far too evident. He had the desperate need to be seen by Koko, to believe he stuck with him for all those years because he cared about him, even if his guilt never left him alone.
This time was different, he felt being in Toman was the right thing to do. It was difficult, but he had to be patient. And if it was for Koko, he would have done anything.

He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.
Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

Summary
Maybe Will decides that enough is enough, and lets Mike go. Maybe whatever persists between them dies slowly of benign neglect, until all that remains is shared trauma and dead memories that don’t mean what they once did. Or maybe he just never hears Mike’s voice again. He shudders.
But what if it's not too late?
Too late for what?
What do you do when the world fails to end? If you’re Will Byers, you build a life. If you’re Mike Wheeler, you build a tomb.
It’s been a decade since El disappeared, Mike is still trapped in his own head, and no one knows how to talk about it. Then, Mike does something impulsive, and sets in motion a chain of events that will cause Will to question everything he believes - including about himself.
Or: A story about grief, love, fate, freedom, and the things that hide in the dark (and maybe the light, too). This starts slow, but bear with me; I promise it doesn't go where you're expecting!

Summary
Mike and Will both have decent lives carved out for themselves. Will is thriving in New York except for one thing; none of his attempts at a relationship ever last longer than a few weeks. Will knows the constant phone calls and weekend visits from his best friend aren't helping, and decides to call Mike and tell him the truth; that he needs space from him so he can finally move on.
Mike, who had no idea Will still harbored any feelings for him, gets on a train immediately and shows up in the city at Will's doorstep, ready to finally confess what he'd been holding back for years.
or
Mike's known all along, but didn't think Will felt the same after he said it'd only been a crush. They argue about it, then they fuck about it, then spend 5 more chapters building a relationship about it
