Summary
The boy who worked the graveyard shift at Brazenhead Books was bird-thin, and pale, and kind of scowl-y. He was always reading enormous dry texts with titles like Tort Law and Alternatives and Intro to Comparative Constitutional Law. He drawled like Matthew McConaughey and the hair just above his right ear never lay flat.
Ronan was probably in love.

Summary
"I'll be able to play next week," Jeremy jokes, "don't worry."
Jean scowls. "That is not the only thing I care about."
Jeremy was only teasing, but Jean's response and the look on his face—irritated and entirely sincere—make Jeremy come up short.
He can tell that Jean cares about him. He can. Hearing it is just… different. Different enough to sort of make his brain stop working.
Or, Jeremy's having a rough time. Jean makes it better.

Summary
He keeps remembering the chafe of Ronan’s shoulder against his ribs as they got oriented in his little bed, the glisten of tears and nightwash wringing his lovely eyes, the lonely twist in his unguarded late-night voice over the phone, the one that Adam had almost liked, because it meant that he was indisputably missed. It was worse, that Ronan had been trying so hard for Adam, because it was easier to tell when he stopped.
Adam's perspective throughout Mister Impossible, as his worry reaches a fever pitch, and the two versions of himself begin to converge.

Summary
Maybe, for a moment, Will thought he could let it go. He thought he could move to California and pretend that Hawkins never happened. That the Upside Down never changed him. That there were people like him, even if they were hidden. That he could forget this. Forget Mike.
Mike, who’s drowning in lamplight, looks completely ethereal. Mike, who wouldn’t let him sleep alone in the basement, who wouldn’t let him be lonely, not for a moment.
“Will?”
But it’s back. It’s full force, a freight train in his chest every time he so much as looks at Mike. Maybe he’ll never let it go. Maybe that’s his cosmic punishment for being gay; never falling out of love with Mike fucking Wheeler.
or, a 5 + 1 fic of mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate (what could this boy have done in 18 months to turn Will "Putting Milkvan Bones Back Together" Byers into Will "How Obvious" Byers)

Summary
Neil is nothing and everything all at once, the entire universe for Andrew, however small of a universe that is. Even Aaron is starting to see it, though the pieces still don't line up.
And Andrew is trying to convince Aaron that he's never jealous? Yeah right. You don't spend your entire life being denied, being hurt, going through foster care with nothing to call your own only to be okay with someone else trying to take the one bright piece of life you call yours.
Or, Aaron is done with Andrew's shit and makes it his job to prove his brother wrong.
