Summary
After the war with Monroe, Liam and Theo settle into something quiet and undefined—open windows, borrowed hoodies, and showing up when the nights get too loud. On a restless full moon, a late-night drive leads them out of Beacon Hills and into a flickering 24-hour diner, where pancakes, neon lights, and unspoken feelings finally bring clarity. In the early hours of Valentine’s Day, Liam realizes some things don’t need labels to be real.

Summary
Will burst into one of the most blinding, dazzling smiles Mike had ever seen. It wouldn't matter if they were on the darkest, cloudiest night in the middle of the ocean; Will was a beacon of light. Mike couldn't tell if there were actual stars in his eyes or if it was just a reflection, but it didn't matter. Will was too stunningly beautiful, and that look was too intense, and he had to look away as his stomach turned and his brain tried to come up with a generic response to whatever Dustin was saying on the radio. The past few weeks he had been desperately trying to convince himself that it was just his old crush rearing it's head. He had moved on from Will, really. They could be friends again without all the relationship drama that came between them in highschool. But sitting on the top of a hill on a cold November night he realized nothing had changed at all.
Fuck, he was still madly in love with Will Byers.
...
After graduating, both Mike and Will struggled to adjust to life after the Upside Down. It didn't help they had already drifted apart. But now, 8 years later, Mike finally reached out again, and the 2 struggle to rebuild their friendship while also hiding their romantic feelings for each other.Series

Summary
Steve leans over her, looking pale and freaked out. Her pulse and breathing are going apeshit and she’s pretty much as close to a panic attack as she’s been in months. She pictures him dead. Herself dead, too. Sometimes, in the darkness, it’s all she ever sees... “Robin?” He waves his hand in front of her nose, ripping her back to the present.
“I… uh, I’m fine.” Just reliving what happens in glorious technicolour most nights when I close my eyes. “Your lip… It’s bleeding.”
When Steve is hurt in a robbery at Family Video, Robin experiences horrible flashbacks to THAT night at Starcourt. It looks like her insomnia is back for good… until Steve comes up with a plan. Inspired by whumptober day 12 prompts “I haven’t slept in days, but who’s counting?”; insomnia; and “I’m up, I’m up.”
