Summary
Twice a year, a member of the party is required to host the official Party Reunion; a weekend trip at each other's colleges, a chance for them to reconnect and bond no matter the distance. Mike is forced to reckon with the way his friends are moving on, especially Will, who has changed since going to New York. He’s scared that he'll be left behind, but at least he knows that for two moments out of the year, he can see his friends and pretend that everything is the same as it’s always been.
Except when the tradition blows up in Mike's face, and now he's forced to attend one last Party Reunion: Lucas and Max's wedding.
He hasn't seen Will in a year, but lingering memories of the past four years continue to haunt him.
How did he let himself get here?

Summary
Will hates November 6th, the anniversary of when he went missing. It's especially awful living in the Wheeler house, surrounded by watchful eyes. He wants the day to end as quickly as possible. Mike helps him through it.
The following year, November 6 is just as bad. But this time, Mike and Will are in the Upside Down, and things feel different.
---
or: Mike and Will spend time together on November 6th, two years apart. -

Summary
“Something else is keeping you awake.” He signed. “I just don’t know why you won’t tell me.” The hurt laced in his voice penetrated through Will’s chest. Will knew that if he turned his gaze then, that he would totally crumble. That he would see the gentle glisten in Mike’s eyes, the downturned crease of his lips, the pained slant of his brow, and completely break down the wall he was trying so hard to build.
Yet he did it anyway.--

Summary
“I am not going anywhere, Eddie.” Buck sighed, sliding against the glass wall. “I cannot risk losing you.”
“How do you think I feel? Watching you put your life on the line like this?” Eddie replied, his voice growing slightly louder. His gaze was hard, colored by an emotion Buck had never seen. All Buck could do was stare back, analyze his expression. Sometimes he couldn’t stand it, Eddie’s selflessness— why did he care so much about Buck’s life when he was the one in danger?

Summary
The longer they dwelled on the bachelor party, the more Eddie thought about memory. Specifically, about unwanted, lingering memories. About how isolating it could be to remember things.
Then he remembered the smell of Buck’s amber cologne, the heat of his body and the way his eyes caught on the curve of Eddie’s lips. The way the blaring music haunted them from a distance. He remembered the both of them being too drunk, the way Buck’s sweat glowed on his cheekbone, the concrete determination in his eyes. He remembered—
Eddie assumed Buck didn’t remember it, or maybe he just thought it was insignificant enough to ignore.

Summary
Mike Wheeler has spent the last four years of college wandering aimlessly through life. He'd followed Will to California, only for Will Byers, his best, most trusted friend, to slowly phase himself out of his life. And frankly, he'd seemed happier without Mike. What was he supposed to make of that?
But then, Mike discovers some things about himself. He starts to find the pieces that he was looking for. And... what is Will supposed to do with that?
(aka: a post-canon "mike finds his way back to will eventually" 90s college fic, in which will byers gets to scream at mike a lil like he deserves, and mike gets to prove himself in return)

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
Carmy’s first instinct upon seeing that the review came out is not to call back Cicero or The Computer, or even to actually read the review. It’s to call Syd.

Summary
Qimir fostered Mae, training her in the ways of the Sith and emboldening her hatred of the Jedi. A year after Mae is killed during an assasination attempt on one of the Masters, Qimir saves Osha on the streets of Olega. They begin forging a complex relationship. While he hopes she’ll take Mae’s place and devote herself to the Sith Order, Osha—unaware of his allegiance to the dark side—merely longs for some connection to her lost sister.
Eventually, all truth comes to light. But, even knowing his ruthless designs, can she bear to leave him behind?
┕━☽【❖】☾━┙
Qimir on a seaside cliff, chopping wood. Qimir in the forest before an open fire. Qimir walking through a great library, his cloak trailing the dusty floors. Qimir in a tea shop, measuring loose Haneli flowers. Qimir laughing at a street play in Naboo.
He was letting her into his head.
And then the scenes shifted—just a few inches to the left or right—and there she was. Mae wrapped in a blanket, sitting along the cliff’s edge, no fear. Mae peering up at the stars through the treetops. Mae leaning over his shoulder to read the same scroll. Mae, sick in a cot, sipping Haneli flower tea. Mae laughing at a street play in Naboo.
