Summary
raison d’être
(n.) a reason for existing“I met someone. He has dark black curls that are almost never done and all he wears is grunge-looking clothes that are wrinkled from days of being forgotten on the floor. He’s energetic and his voice is loud and he could talk forever and I’d listen. I’d listen for days on end. He’s caring and he always looks tired because of how his locks poke out at every angle and how he has dark bags underneath his eyes that never seem to budge despite how much sleep he gets. He’s fascinated in my love for art and how the world works and gets me to draw him every chance he gets. His face is sharp and angular with a constellation of freckles and a sharp, pointed nose and he has dimples when he smiles, but the most important part is,”
“he looks like you.”

Summary
Hopper rubbed his face, looking suddenly tired. "Look, I know you think I'm being unreasonable. But I'm trying to do what's best for you. What if..." He paused, eyes looking back and forth between El and Will. He was thinking hard about something. "What if we modified the rule slightly?"
"Modified how?" El asked.
"You can date… when Will does."
El and Will’s stomachs both dropped.
"What?!" They burst out in unison.
"You heard me. When your brother starts dating someone, you can date too. That way I know you're both mature enough to handle it."

Summary
“You’re the person I come back to. Even when I don’t mean to. Even when I’m scared.”
Will’s eyes are glassy now. “You don’t have to say this if it’s too soon.”
“I do,” Mike says. He turns fully toward Will, knees brushing. “Because I don’t want you thinking you were second place. Or a substitute. You weren’t.” His voice breaks. “You never were.”

Summary
“Come back here!” Mike pleads.
“I can’t,” Will replies weakly, and he’s sure his voice isn’t strong enough to travel. Mike inches closer, like those few centimeters would make the difference.
“I’m jumping in then!” And then he’s wringing the shoes off, hastily kicking them behind his back.
On the eve of the final battle, Will is drawn to the lake by an unknown force. He tries to cut everything short and free Hawkins on his own, but Mike just won’t let him go.

Does he know you pick the dead skin off your index finger and only that finger whenever you're nervous? Does he know which Ghostbuster you went as for Halloween that year? Does he know your favourite candy?"

"—Does he know you still like me?"

Summary
Finn took Noah even deeper, and Noah couldn’t suppress the sound that escaped his mouth. The moan that started as a loud “Oh” ended in, “Just like that, just like that… M-Mi-“
Noah froze, eyes widening in surprise as Finn pulled back from his throat and flashed him a mischievous smile, one eyebrow raised.
“Mike?” he said, still stroking Noah and holding his gaze. “Is that what you were going to call me?”

Summary
Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.
It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.
Fantastic.

don't know what to do (when i'm like this) by liveandfall
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
He shouldn't have let Max goad them into doing this. He should have shut the whole operation down the moment he saw her share a smirk with El when they were still out at the diner, innocently eating shitty waffles and soggy fries. He should have never agreed to let everyone come back here, he should have never let Robin and Steve pawn them off a twelve-pack of disgusting Sam Adams, and he should have never, ever let Dustin put his empty bottle in the middle of the circle they were sat in, comfortably buzzed and basking in normalcy.
But Mike had let them.
Mike Wheeler finds heaven in a boy who’s been to hell and back.

we all have a hunger (tell me what you need) by papenathy
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
– Выглядит так, будто я тебя укусил, – Уилл наклоняет голову, чтобы рассмотреть поближе. Майк же может только пялиться на него. Его пышные волосы спереди собраны в небольшой пучок, а сзади взъерошены там, где он всего несколько минут назад провёл пальцами. Его прекрасные зелёные глаза, которые при этом освещении кажутся ореховыми, почти карими, с тёмными кругами под ними – теми, что появляются, когда он пьёт, – будто обрамлены замысловатыми узорами. И эта довольная, кровожадная улыбка.
Майку не по себе. Он с трудом сглатывает, и слова выходят сдавленно: – А ты… не хочешь ещё?
или: Уилл наряжается вампиром на хэллоуинскую вечеринку в колледже, но Майк считает, что костюм недостаточно кровавый. Уилл разрешает ему это исправить. У Майка начинается кризис.

Summary
After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.
~/~
'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.
‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.
‘Patroclus.’
