Summary
“It was El who broke up with you, though. It’s not like it’s your fault she fell out of love,” Will offered. “That was what she said right?”
For a second their eyes met, but Mike quickly glanced away. He’d been doing that more often recently. Will could understand. Holding eye contact lately… ever since they were spending nights lying awake next to each other, sometimes talking, but mostly pretending to sleep… Let’s say it felt harder than usual to hold Mike’s gaze for him as well.
“… Yes,” Mike answered. “Right. She said that,” he added as if to remind himself.
A loud snort from the main hall pierced through their conversation. “Oh, please.” Murray mocked from the couch. Will and Mike both turned their heads to stare at him with pinched expressions.
“What?” Murray exclaimed. “Falling out of love is not the reason El broke up with you.”OR: Mike and Will get Murray’d and deal with the consequences.
(But, of course that alone won’t be enough to completely burn Mike’s intense repression, so we’re going to rely on our good old friend Vecna to give Mike some insight into his own mind…) -

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
Regulus Black miraculously survives the cave of Inferi. There isn't a single soul that he trusts, given that his brother is now locked up as a Death Eater Sympathizer and James Potter is dead.
James Potter.
The single most loyal person that Regulus Black had ever had the unfortunate luck to meet. He was annoying, and loud, and impossibly Gryffindor, but James would have done anything to win the war.
Even working with his best mate's baby brother, the real Death Eater.
A semi-dark, enemies to lovers, time travel, Jegulus tale without the guarantee of a happy ending.
