Summary
Willow Byers has always felt a little out of sync with the other girls her age. Not in any obvious way—just a quiet sort of difference, like a radio station that never quite tunes in right. (...)
It wasn’t that she didn’t care about romance, or relationships, or falling in love—no. She wanted all of it. Just… with another girl....
or: willow byers is just trying to get through high school while ignoring her crush on her childhood best friend, michelle wheeler.

Summary
ETHEL:
There's that storm comin'. You can't just walk out into-
WILLOUGHBY:
I'd rather face that than stay.
(The confession catches them both off guard. It was honest. Too honest. A confession neither of them could've seen coming, or at least not so brazenly.)
WILLOUGHBY:
The only thing I got here is you.
ETHEL:
Then let that be enough.
...
or: for a directing class i took this past semester, i wrote and directed a one act heavily inspired by the music and storytelling of Ethel Cain, particularly her albums “Preacher’s Daughter” and “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You.” it follows willoughby and ethel's last night together. now, i'm sharing it with you all. you don't have to be familiar with her music or the story behind it to enjoy, that was who it was written in mind for, but if you do know it and are insane like me, voila <3 -

Summary
Will Byers has already spent one full year studying at Boston University.
That fact still surprised him sometimes, the way it landed in his chest when he stopped to think about it.
Mostly, he's been focused on figuring out what a normal life felt like. Classes. Assignments. Deadlines. Critiques that didn’t involve anyone almost dying. Days that passed without incident.
And then, one night, he decided—fuck it.
...
or: after the end of the world, will byers builds himself a new life.
Boston, art school, a boyfriend, and a home that finally feels like his own—until the past comes knocking, and mike wheeler suddenly makes leaving the past behind harder than will thought.title from: Good Luck, Babe - Chappell Roan

Summary
Hopefully they weren’t. Hopefully he could slip in quietly, make his way to the bathroom for a hot shower, and then crawl back onto the makeshift air mattress on Mike Wheeler’s floor, letting sleep take him somewhere else for a change.
Unfortunately for Will, things never went quite the way he planned. He was so close—he’d managed to open and shut the front door without a sound, the only light in the house coming from the stairwell. He took it as his cue, stepping carefully up the stairs, around the corner, and—
“Where have you been?”
Right into Mike.
...
or: will is spiraling, mike is panicking, and yes, making out with a jock somehow seemed like a good idea at the time.
title inspired by: Famous Last Words (An Ode to Eaters) - 1017 ALYX 9SM, Ethel Cain

Summary
Will smiled back, soft and sweet, like he always was. It was, all in all, the same smile Mike had grown up knowing as well as his own reflection. It was Will's teeth peeking through the slight pull of his chapped lips, and Will's skin wrinkling near his eyes. Mike would know Will's smile anywhere.
Only, that wasn't his smile.
Because that wasn't Will.
"Follow me?" Will asked, and one yellow ray of sunlight punctured the fog, illuminating the tufts of his mud-spattered hair like a halo. It was fitting. If the rest of the town thought Will was the devil, he'd always been an angel to Mike.
And for the life of him, Mike couldn’t remember what it was he’d been so worried about just a second ago.
"Yeah," he answered, treading behind Will and headed for the woods. "Always."
It's the summer of 1987, the town is under lockdown, the people are panicking and praying, and they've pinpointed Will as the one to blame for it all. In fact, nearly everyone seems a little afraid of Will these days, except for Mike.
(Or: Following a desperate ritual to cast the devil out of Hawkins, Will starts acting strangely. Mike starts having dreams.)

Summary
As far as patients go, Bruce is pretty sure Loki is one of the worst he's ever had.
He has good days and bad days, though the measure by which they're defining "good" is depressingly low. If he's not actively trying to harm himself or others, or conversely, submerged in catatonia, it's a good day. The baseline for the bad days is so low it may as well not exist.
Unfortunately, Loki has a lot of bad days.---
Direct sequel to a path sweeter than death.Thor is still missing, with Loki left behind to heal in the Avenger's custody. No one is particularly pleased about this arrangement, least of all Loki.
