Summary
There’s a bit of rustling on the other side. Then a voice — a man, older, maybe in his forties or fifties — says, in a slightly accented voice, “Hello, is this Kageyama Tobio?”
Tobio goes still. He doesn’t know how he knows, but suddenly he’s fully certain of what this call is. Knowingly or not, he’s been waiting for it. Coach Ukai has been waiting for it. Fucking Kindaichi asked about it in passing during their last practice match at Seijoh. It’s not a surprise.
“Yes,” Tobio says, but it doesn’t come out. He clears his throat and tries again. “Yes, this — this is him.”
“Good, good,” the voice on the phone says. “This is Hibarida Fuki, Head Coach of the Japan Men’s National Volleyball Team.”
In which Kageyama Tobio receives an offer, swallows a heart, and fails to not look for Hinata in everything, everything.

Summary
“You don’t what?” Shouyou asks.
Kageyama looks uncomfortable enough to crawl out of his skin. He rubs his knuckles against his chin, roughly, and then tells the floor, “You’re sick, and you’re sad, and I don’t want you to be either of those things.”
Shouyou blinks once, then twice. And then, embarrassingly, he bursts into tears.
They could have played for longer. They deserved to play for longer.
Shouyou doesn’t know why he expected volleyball to be fair. And it’s all the more infuriating because it is the fairest sport in the whole world. Two teams. One net. Six players on each side, none of which get to hold the ball for more than a couple seconds at a time, and those seconds mean everything.
In which Shouyou and Tobio share a meal after the world ends. Or after the match with Kamomedai. It's all a matter of semantics, really.

Draco Malfoy and the Heir of Slytherin by starbrigid
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
04 Jul 2020

Summary
Draco Malfoy never asked for a second chance, nor did he particularly want one. But he found himself in his old body at eleven, and after a year at Hogwarts, he has a plan for the year before him: keep to himself, find Dobby, improve relations with fellow Slytherins to cordial but distant, get over this stupid obsession with Harry Potter, and no more jokes about controlling a Malfoy mountain troll. No one else thinks they're funny. And no more cursing people- well, only as many people as necessary...
Draco Malfoy has never been very good at following plans.

Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.
"Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

Bookmarker's Notes
Magical . I cried with Will, I cried with Mike. I know my bookmarks probably all say the same kind of things but this was so incredibly real.
(The line "I can't eat. I can't sleep. I can't think. I feel like I'm falling apart." woke me up like a sleeper agent – from The Boy by the smashing pumpkins ???! Or maybe it was a coincidence. I loved it either way !!)

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.

Summary
“Did I do something wrong?” Mike questions, mouth twisted in a frown, eyes less wide than they were a few moments ago, sleepiness gone. His arms stay at his sides, although his fingers fiddle with his sleeves. “What did I do wrong?”
Will frowns back. “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Mike doesn’t look like he believes him. Will doesn’t blame him. “Then why do you keep leaving?”
The world ends, and then some. Mike and Will find each other again, amidst the debris and distance.

"Will leans away, shame settling in, and glances at his hands, no longer as stained, as if he’d shared half his crime onto the boy next to him."

Summary
“Are you okay?”
“Yes,” Mike decided, rubbing his free thumb into Will’s warm collarbone. “Now.”
“Good.” Will pulled him decisively back into the circle of his arms, hooking his chin over Mike’s shoulder, and humming. “What isn’t okay?”
“Carlton,” Mike spat bitterly, and Will laughed.
“Mike, who is Carlton?” Will asked, sounding bizarrely charmed, and it soothed something in Mike’s chest that he didn’t even realize needed the reassurance.

Summary
Will was all out of excuses to keep avoiding Mike. He didn’t think he’d be strong enough to keep avoiding Mike either way - not with Mike calling him everyday- but this feels entirely too soon, the memories still fresh. Will feels that if he even thinks about Mike he could feel the phantom of Mike’s fingers digging into his hips, his lips pressing into Wills’ pulse, the thickness of his hair between Wills’ fingers.
The Wheeler’s front door opens on its own, and Will jumps from where he’s standing, letting out a small yelp in surprise.
or
Will can't avoid Mike forever, and they talk about what happened the day they got high together.

Summary
A fat raindrop splashes on Mike’s cheek, slips down his face and down his chin; falls on his neck to disappear inside his damp shirt. Leaves behind the scorching trail of Will’s gaze on his skin.
Mike tightens his grip on the soda cans when Will’s adam’s apple bobs up and down, considers closing his eyes and tipping his head back, let the tepid rain speck his face, soak him to the bone.
A kiss in the rain would be romantic, right? Date appropriate.
“You should get back in the car.”
or; Michael Wheeler and the mortifying ordeal of being in a car with a beautiful boy.

Summary
The Byers’ new house is closer to Mike’s.
This is a Development.
Mike sees Will on the weekends. Mike sees Will on occasional school nights. Mike sees Will like he’s living with them again, stuffed into Mike’s back pocket, comfortably, reliably close.
Turns out, this is a problem.

or: Will is lovely, and Mike is in love. Maybe. Probably. Definitely.

Summary
Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
“I have an idea,” says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will’s stomach. “How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?”
“No,” says Mike, “you can’t tell anyone or it won’t work.”
“Or what won’t work?” Will asks. It’s like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will’s door. Hopper doesn’t make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can’t do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, “Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves,” or whatever. “Take me to the wedding,” says Mike.
“Yeah,” says Will slowly, “you’ll be at the wedding. Obviously.”
“As your date."

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
No one ever talks about what happens after.
No one told Will that the monsters would never really leave him. No one told Will how being taken and possessed would sit in his stomach like a coiled-up vine. No one told Will how he'd never feel like himself again.
No one told Will what to do, now that the worst is over and he doesn't feel any better. No one told Will how to handle the after, the in-between of not dying and still feeling dead.
No one told Will how to feel alive, so he figures it out for himself.
(Or; A study of how Will handles— or doesn't handle— the aftermath of what happens to him.)

Bookmarker's Notes
I don't have the most amazing way with words. I just want to say that I felt so, so, so seen when reading this. I drank every word and my stomach turned because I realised that this is how I too, have been thinking and feeling and Being. And also I am definitely, absolutely, 100% not shamefully jealous of Will in a sick way (read: i ache for someone to see me this way and stay, no matter how much i selfishly push away )

Bookmarker's Notes
"Love is the most isolating thing in the world for boys like Will.
And Jonathan might’ve been an outsider his whole life, but at the end of the day he gets to hold his girlfriend’s hand in public, he gets Christmas dinners and movie nights, and it doesn’t matter what kind of music he listens to; he will conform to social norms in a way Will never could."
