Summary
"Tell me a secret?"
Mike asks, like he's come to do every day, late at night, when the darkness can swallow the guilt and the regret rushing out of their hearts, when their sides press together, the floor long forgotten, ever since the first Will, please, come up here.
Will is a terrible person.
I'm in love with you. I'm having visions. I'm in love with you. I'm not really having nightmares, Vecna is tempting me with a version of you that loves me back. I'm in love with you.
"I think my death is the easiest solution to everything. The Upside Down will die with me."
Will can hear Mike swallow next to him.
"Will, I would let the world burn down to ashes if it meant keeping you in it."
or
They're back in Hawkins, everything is the way it's always been, except - yeah, it's still the middle of an apocalypse, Will is having nosebleeds and Mike would sacrifice the world for his best friend but is still losing him.

Summary
Will coughs violently when the lack of oxygen creates a ringing in his ears, and then he’s leaning forward and gagging. He fully expects to see a squirming veiny worm hit the sink like one had two years ago after his encounter with the Upside Down, but instead, he’s met with petals.
Will watches in more fascination than horror as they slowly float down to the sink.
Or the one where Mike keeps falling asleep, Will can’t stop hacking up flowers, and everyone is suddenly great at giving advice.

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
Ren has settled into a quiet, normal life teaching kindergarten. He absolutely doesn't think about the time he was a phantom thief or the glove he keeps always in his pocket. But everything changes when a student brings in a homemade book for story time. The book is all about a group of thieves, Joker, Panther, Skull, Fox, Mona, Oracle, Noir, Queen, who stop an evil king by stealing treasures from castles. Ren has to know who wrote it.
Akechi has settled into a quiet life as a philosophy professor. He doesn't think about his time as an assassin detective or the boy he tried to kill and then died for. But then he walks into a classroom to read a storybook for the class of an orphan girl he watches over and everything changes.
When two hearts reunite after years apart, things unsaid find their way to the surface.
