    Summary

    “You said goodbye already.”

    Pomni whirled around to face Zooble. “What?”

    Zooble looked right at her. “Pomni. You gotta let him go.”

    Her chin quivered, and tears threatened to spill out.

    She raised her head resolutely to meet Zooble’s eyes.

    “He didn’t want to go.”

     

    Pomni decides to find out if she can still communicate with an abstracted Jax.

    Summary

    Or - "If you knew the truth you'd probably hate me"

    As Jax recovers from his panic attack at the Awards Show he discovers an undesired reminder of his emotional turmoil in the form of a multi-colored eye staring right back at him, reminding him of his failure to upkeep the mask he assigned himself. And to make everything worse, Pomni enters the scene.

    Summary

    Jax mustered up the energy to travel back to his desk, plopped down in his chair, and threw the notebook down in front of him. It fell open to the page labeled CAINE’S KINKS. 

    He grabbed a pen and tapped the tip of it against the page a few times, before making a few edits.

    This is not a love story. This is a revenge story.
    —————————————————————————

    (This fic was written after the author has seen episode 7, but before the author has seen episode 8. The author is more interested in the idea of Caine and Jax being narrative foils than she is in the idea of them having a genuinely abusive relationship. This story includes some spicy bits that are easily skipped - though you might miss some slapstick and character development if you choose to avoid them. This story is mostly comedy, though that might just be to make the tragedy hit all the harder. The author is gender-fluid, pansexual, polyamorous, demiromantic, ADHD, autistic, and heavily projecting. Please heed the tags, and enjoy the show!)

    Summary

    Jax forces a grin back on his face, but it's jagged and twitching. "You wanted me to talk so bad, now you're doing this?!"

    "We gave you a chance!" Zooble yells, taking a step closer to Jax. "We've all been at your door for days stupidly trying to get you tell tell us anything! I even tried to help you at the beach, for f[%$!#]'s sake!" Their voice lowers. "You've had your chances, Jax. You f[%$!#]ing wasted them."

    ---------------

    In the aftermath of the 'Escape the Circus' adventure, tensions come to a head. Caine tries to make everything right with the circus members, but his attempts to regain their trust cause an even deeper rift to form as Jax is separated from the group during a new immersive maze adventure.

    Summary

    One year after escaping from the circus, Jax has slowly come to realize that happy endings truly are nothing more than fiction. He's never been a kind or gentle person, but that's fine. He only ever looked out for himself. Though, it's not like anyone ever particularly cared for him.

    And it's for that very reason that Jax attempts to kill himself on a Sunday evening.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler has always known how to keep the Party together.

    He knows when El is having nightmares before she says a word. He knows when Will is pretending the Upside Down is not still under his skin. He knows how to pull Dustin out of guilt, how to soften Lucas’s anger, how to make Max feel present in her own body again.

    What Mike does not know is how to tell them he is drowning.

    In a house full of people he loves, Mike becomes the heartbeat everyone depends on. But hearts are muscles, and even muscles tear when they are asked to carry too much.

    Summary

    The summer has been endless, stretching into long, sunny days that mingle with the sweet smell of wildflowers, and cool, damp evenings, heavy with fog and clustered shadows; each day blends into the next, indiscriminate, never stopping to breathe, and Mike follows in his set path with confident strides that he never lets falter.

     

    Mike finds himself stuck between the present and the future. How much can he fix, and how much has he already broken?

    Summary

    "Mike wasn't allowed to talk too loudly or talk too much. He wasn't allowed to move his hands or bounce his legs or repeat quotes from movies. He had rules for how to express his emotions, how not to express his emotions.

    Will didn't know how to understand this branch of knowledge."

    or

    Ever since living with the Wheelers, Will had noticed a strange bit of rules that Mike had to follow.

    Summary

    Because Mike’s chest ached, sharp and painful, at the thought of seeing Will for the last time.

    He couldn’t accept that he’d be taking in the way Will’s beautiful eyes looked at him as if he was the only thing in the world, or feeling the love only Will could make him feel, or being reminded of all their memories together for the final time.

    And because maybe, Will would’ve been able to talk him out of it.

    So he walked away from the door. And now here he is.

    Mike kills himself because he believes everyones lives will be better without him (they weren't).

    Summary

    “Ah. That’s it, my friend. That’s it.”

    “What’s it?” Will asks in confusion. He’s was, like, a prude, or anything, but openly talking about gay sex in great detail was absolutely unheard of in little home town Hawkins.

    “You two both think that Mike should be the top,” Marius tells him, and Will slowly nods along. “Dunno why, he has crazy bottom energy. But maybe that’s just, like, stereotypes messing with your brains. He’s taller, yeah, but that doesn’t matter.”

    Will blinked at him once, twice, his brain too long to process.

    Marius claps him on the shoulder, a bright grin on his face. “Just top, dude,” He says, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. “That’ll probably help a ton.”

    Summary

    The storm over Mike’s head brews. The gray clouds darken to black as if something’s burning—but there’s no smoke. The ground trembles beneath him, quaking with anger. Overhead, a tornado forms, churning in the sky.

    More than one—a dozen, maybe more—tornadoes form all at once. Mike lets out a cry, not sure if it’s rain or tears streaming down his cheeks. The downpour grows heavier, blurring everything into gray, while the earth shakes harder beneath him. More tornados spin into existence. Strangely, it feels like a weight is being lifted from his shoulders, as if this storm—no, this disaster—is somehow soothing.

    Or after season 2, with the heightened/extreme stress and the pores from the tunnels. Mike awakens his powers, being the first mutant on Earth in X–Men terminology. This can be a fix–it or some kind for the next season maybe…

    Summary

    Mike's body relaxed, and Lucas saw him as he was at that moment. A small, weak, scared kid, face streaked with tears and snot.

    "Lucas... Let me." He begged, his voice raw "I want this. Let me... please."

    Three months after Eleven's death, Mike attempts suicide and Lucas stops him. Everyone has to deal with the consequences.
