Summary
For the first time, Lucas realises that none of them had ever really talked to Will about the Upside Down. He’s sure Joyce had tried, but Will always tried to protect his mother and brother, always felt like he was a burden on a family that was barely scraping together as it was, backs bending with the strain of giving Will some semblance of a good childhood. Lucas and Max had had each other, Dustin had had Steve, and Mike and Eleven had protected each other best they could.
Will, though… had never really had anyone. Once again, Lucas feels his heart twist in guilt over how they’d treated Will the summer before last, the summer after he’d been possessed.
or
TOW Will Byers is run over by a car, shot, set on fire, possessed, re-traumatised by Vecna and still manages to save the day.

Summary
He hangs Will’s painting in Max’s room. It’s possibly for Lucas’ benefit than it is for Max’s but Lucas looks so painfully grateful for it that Mike can’t bring himself to take it back. Even if he spends the few nights he gets at home staring at the wall where he’d thought -for one brief bright moment when he’d dared to believe they’d win again- that he’d get to hang it.
“He’s getting too good.” Lucas says, apropos nothing. Mike follows his eyes to the painting, to them, hopeful and young and triumphant.
When Mike had seen it first, it had felt like he’d re-settled in his skin for the first time in years. He wonders what it means, when the most real he’s ever felt is in Will’s brushstrokes.
or
Mike is a fan of destiny, fate and literary symmetry. Will is rather attached to his own choices.

Summary
The most surprising thing about Will is not that he’s seemingly shot up something like a foot in six months, or that he’s developed shoulders, or that he even fucking smokes now- it’s this. Four of them dancing over a looming ledge, and Will being the first to jump.

Summary
His Father beams down at him, eyes crinkled in joy like this is simply another day, like Michael has just burst into glory fully formed to be pulled into his Father’s loving arms with immense adoration and cautious delight.
“Mika’el” Father says, and Michael stares, stares because this is the fucking prophet Raphael was guarding, and he’d been there the whole damn time, and just about let Michael fall into hell, stares because how could Father possibly expect him to be delighted at this? Looking at the person who’d done nothing when Gabriel had died, when Raphael had turned cold and unfeeling and Lucifer cruel cruel cruel. The host is silent in his head for the first time in millenia, and Michael can almost hear himself think without the song of Heaven blaring a chorus at the back of his many skulls.

Summary
Dream’s face is set in a handsome moue as he surveys the deadened landsacape around them both. Lucifer had tried, at first, attempted to reconnect with… existence, but this- this beach with its darkened shores and with basalt soaking the air calls to him more than the life and colours of humanity.
A younger Lucifer would have considered that an invitation to ponder upon himself, an older Lucifer appreciates the serenity for what it is.
(or)
Morpheus and Lucifer reconnect over lost hearts.

Summary
“So you’re playing politics again?” Ahsoka asks slowly. Obi-Wan gives her a pained look.
“Ahsoka...we hardly have any other choice. Anakin―he killed the Chancellor of the Republic.”
“Who was a sith lord!”
[or: Palpatine is dead but the republic is still crumbling at their feet and Obi-Wan is just trying to hold it all together]

Summary
(It all starts with Peter Pettigrew dying twice.
First, Peter kills Wormtail (discreetly), and then Sirius kills him (less discreetly).
Losing a friend is never easy, even amidst the ravages of war, but losing the last of your childhood alongside him is far worse.)
War is a complicated, messy thing. The Marauders have their fucked up shit to deal with, but they also have each other, and that counts for a lot.
