Summary
People are fond of girls they can explain.
Reese Lupin had been explained all her life. Remus's daughter. The sickly girl. The scarred girl. The strange girl with the strange father and the unfortunate habit of disappearing once a month.
Hogwarts introduced newer, smaller secrets: friendships she wasn't supposed to have, boys she wasn't supposed to want, and, eventually, a red-haired girl she very much wasn't supposed to want either.
There were worse things, she supposed, than being fourteen and terrified you might be in love with a girl.
Reese turned into one of them every month.
"But wanting — that species of wanting — had become perilous.
Because now it bore context. Now it shimmered with consequence. Now every glance threatened implication. Every brush of skin was a referendum. Every silence was haunted by the possibility of what it might mean.
And Reese — who had always been brave on paper but perilously human in practice — didn't know how to hold that weight.
Reese wasn't scared of being gay.
She was scared of what being herself might mean if that were true."

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.
