    Summary

    Wasn't it better instead to think about how beautiful it was? That in a world that taught them to hide, they still had managed to find each other? To always hide a fundamental part of who they were was torture, but having someone finally see, and to see them in return, eased the pain significantly.

    Will and Richie already found each other once, they'd find their way back as many times as they'd have to.

    Summary

    Will flushed as Richie’s eyes, magnified by his lenses, very obviously raked over him, like he was trying to study or analyze him. If he wasn’t feeling so scrutinized he’d be entertained by how obvious it must be anytime Richie looked at anything. It was like his glasses exposed him rather than shielded him.

    He looked almost wooden now, like he had been startled too, his eyes widening and widening impossibly more, making Will subconsciously worry he’d fall into them and get lost, until a little sigh-like sound punched out of Richie’s chest.

    “Whoa.”

    After the last two years of suffering and inter-dimensional threats, the only thing Will wanted was to spend a nice summer with his friends. Too bad they were too busy with their new relationships. With Dustin now away for summer camp, he dreaded the endless afternoons of fifth-wheeling to come.

    After everything that happened last summer, Richie's mother thought it was best if he visited family for a while. Anything to get him out of a town that was clearly getting to him, even if Richie didn't think she knew why. He dreaded being away from the only people who could understand.

    They could have never expected each other.

    Summary

    “You’re weirdly good at this,” Richie said at one point, taking his rent with a grin. “Like… responsible good. Kinda hot.”

    Will’s brain stalled. He’d never been called that.

    Mike choked, eyes staying on the bills in his hands. “Can you not flirt with my—”

    He stopped himself so abruptly it made Will’s stomach twist.

    With his what?

    OR

    Will Byers has spent years being quiet—about his feelings, about what he wants, about who he’s allowed to be.

    Richie Tozier has never been quiet about anything in his life.

    Over Christmas break, Will begins to realize that maybe what he needs isn’t someone careful, or hesitant, or afraid of being seen—but someone who chooses him loudly.

    Summary

    “Tony,” Tony says, “Stark.” He watches the kid’s face for any hint of recognition but there’s none.

    “Hence why those guys want you to build a Stark missile.”

    “Right.”

    The kid snorts, “what, do you work in R&D at your own company?” When Tony just gives him a blank look he clears his throat, “nevermind. So if you can build a missile I bet you can figure out a way to get us out of here.”

    Tony sighs, turning his face away. He’s so tired. “I can’t build them that weapon, kid.”

    Now it’s the kid’s turn to look confused. “Then build something else,” he says simply.

    **

    Or, AU where Dick Grayson has an unfortunate run in with a wizard in Gotham City and finds himself tossed across the multiverse to a cave in Afghanistan with a billionaire who hasn't gone through his self-improvement journey yet.
