Summary
Mike knows the fault lies, thoroughly and fully, within him. His fault, his pain, his grief, his guilt, and, oh, his shame.
So much of it he drowns. Gasping for air, in need of a helping hand he doesn't reach for. He doesn't deserve it. Not anymore.or
Mike is ready to say a final goodbye to his life.

u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

Summary
It's Friday, February 14th, 1986, and Will Byers is having one of the worst days of his teenage life. School sucks, for both Jane and him. He misses his friends, and Mike hasn't contacted him in months. The spirit of Valentine's Day seems to be mocking Will, with all the couples and their weird courtship rituals, and he wants more than anything for today to be over. So when the ringing of the Byers' landline wakes him from his impromptu nap, he is naturally less than thrilled to answer it. But his mood changes swiftly once he recognizes the caller - and then, everything goes to hell.
Or: What would the day of love be, without a little angst and tears?

Summary
Over the course of her life—both outside of the circus, and within it—Jax has wanted a lot of things that she thought she couldn’t have. She's lost friends over it before (in the most vague and the most terrible sort of ways), and she nearly lost everything she had with Pomni over it, too.
She’d been resigned to avoiding it all for so long because none of it was supposed to be for her. But having arrived at some new conclusions with the help of an appearance-changing adventure and an argument in the woods, she thinks that maybe it’s time to figure out the kind of life she really wants to live. She knows who she is, now, after all; surely that has to count for something?
(But this is, of course, about more than being a girl.)
(Or: A series of girls’ nights between Pomni and 'Jax'. Two where they hesitate for just a moment too long, and one where they don't.)

Summary
Will had never imagined, in those days when their innocence was at its peak — when the crisp fall air could blow against Will’s face and he wouldn’t feel the phantom breath of an otherworldly monster on the back of his neck — that Mike’s hatred for his father was so deep and so intense that he would do what he just did.

Summary
“Therefore, I don’t think I’m on either side of the map,” he said, the confession barely audible over the crunch of their boots. He gestured, a small, tremor-filled motion that traced an invisible, blurring line between them. “I think I’m just the part that’s wobbly and not ultimately finite.”
He gestured, small and uncertain, tracing an invisible arc between two points only he could see.
“I think I’m standing… in it.”

Summary
Mike moves in his bed, and Will's eyes stay firmly on the ceiling. "I feel like we barely know each other anymore."
And Will can't argue with that, so he replies, "What do you want to know?"
There’s a long lapse of silence, and then –
“Can you come up here?”
In the wreckage, Mike and Will spend a series of nights together.

As the rest of the song played, Mike realised he couldn’t do this anymore. He really couldn’t. His hands trembled as he reached for the glove compartment. There, he kept a gun.

Summary
One of the big problems with cracking your egg, Jax has found, is that once you’ve come to terms with it, the people around you don’t just get the memo via psychic link and immediately start calling you all the right words. No, apparently, you have to tell them everything yourself, which—ignoring literally every other thing that’s happened to her—is the worst thing that’s ever happened to her.
Fortunately, however, she’s got a plan. After all, what’s the use of building a reputation for making everyone solve weird (and typically time-sensitive) riddles in her wording if she can’t use it to her advantage sometimes?
Surely, this will go exactly how she’s expecting it to.
(Or: Five times ‘Jax’ drops hints about being trans, and one time she officially comes out.)

Summary
For Naruto and Sasuke, leaving Konoha together felt like the right choice from the moment they made the decision.
Maybe Sasuke had worries at first, but after some time he realized Naruto seemed to fit right in with him, and it did give them the chance to figure out what exactly they were…
If you asked Naruto? Well, it had been the easiest choice he'd ever made! Spending time together, working S-rank missions, having amazing sex, what else could he want? Even though Sasuke was kinda weird about his feelings and hadn’t said "I love you" back yet in all these months (what's up with that?!) Naruto wasn't going to think too hard on it, especially not today, when it was Sasuke's birthday.
He just needed to focus on not screwing things up...

Summary
“I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”
Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.
“But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”
Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.
Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

AHHHHHH
It actually made me tear up a little.
Happiness, acceptance, belonging.
Not conformity.If you ever have the chance and it has been a while, please reread it, there are some things in here it'd be nice for me to remember.
