Seen For Who I Am, And Everything I Am by iloveangstwithhappyendings

Summary
Hawkins university is full of unseen campus heroes, but Mike wants to change that. He wants to make them seen. He wants to see them.
And he wants someone to see him.
He both writes and photographs for the school newspaper.
A certain unseen campus hero keeps catching Mike’s eye, and soon Mike is needing to see him. Beyond the newspaper, beyond Latte Lane, beyond polite smiles and camera.

Summary
Mike looked at him unimpressed. “See you say that. You say that. But you never actually mean it.” He flung his hands out, gesturing at him. “You’re always making stupid promises that you can’t keep.”
Will gaped at him. This was ludicrous. “Name one promise that I haven’t kept!”
“You keep leaving!” Mike burst out. He practically shouted it. If the outburst took him by surprise, he didn’t show it. “Everytime I just get you back you end up leaving again. And it was fine at first, I guess. With the Upside Down and the MindFlayer. Like at least then we knew how to bring you back. But now there’s nothing taking you away but you still aren’t here. And I can’t figure out why. I’ve racked my brain trying to understand what’s going on with you but I just don’t get it! We’re supposed to be best friends but lately it’s only felt like that on my side of things.”
____The Upside Down is gone. Or so everyone keeps telling him. But Will knows the truth. You can burn all the vines and close all the gates. But you can’t flush out a virus once it’s already been spread. After all, how do you kill something that’s intertwined with the very root of Hawkins without affecting the real world?

Sweet Dreams (Are Made by Thee) by spotlightonmringenue

Summary
In an effort to close the Master Gate that’s tearing Hawkins apart, Eleven makes a deal with the Mind Flayer: the Hive will contain the threat of Henry's power as long as people stay out of the Upside Down. Interests mutual for once, they work together to seal the gates for good—but in His final act of infuriated defeat, Henry captures Mike as the barrier between worlds closes, never to reopen.
Will is the only one around when Mike is taken. He’s the only one who believes Mike is still alive, stuck in Henry’s clutches and in desperate need of a rescue.
When Eleven and the others refuse to break the world-saving truce without proof that it won’t be a wasted effort with disastrous consequences, Will is left trying to find answers (and Mike) on his own.

Summary
“We have to kill him,” Mike finishes fiercely, and for a second, Will pictures him in full paladin gear, making the same speech in a castle, or a magical forest, or a dark dungeon. He’s every bit the boy Will’s always known, the one who stands up for his friends and his principles and never, ever backs down. Even when the odds are against them. Even when they’re impossible.
Will swears that he can feel electricity crackling in the air, Mike’s last sentence settling on the group like a physical weight. Everyone looks impressed: Jonathan, Hopper, even Owens. Will knows the look on his own face must be incredibly obvious, incredibly stupid.
He doesn’t care. That’s the Mike he knows. That’s the Party’s leader.
That’s the boy Will fell in love with.

Summary
The real haunting begins.
After surviving the hallucinations of his dead little brother, Dick Grayson was starting to heal.
Then the Red Hood walked into his apartment.
Not a dream. Not a ghost.
Jason Todd is alive.
What does Dick do? Well, he makes the (very big) ghost of his baby brother a bowl of cereal. Because even after all this time, he still can’t tell him to go away.
Now, Dick has to face the grief that nearly killed him.
And the little brother he never closed the door on.

Summary
“Hood.”
Jason stops in his tracks, but though his legs are frozen, his hands are lighting fast, and his gun is aimed before he even draws his next breath.
That voice. Too low, too dangerous, not a single ounce of fear behind it.
Angry. Angry in that fiery way. Lava too hot against the icy tundra of his veins.
“Dick.”
OR
Jason shows his identity early in the fight at Titan's Tower and Dick spends the next months scrambling for answers. They both fuck up a lot. And they love each other more than either would like to admit.

Summary
Dick has set up a new life for himself working at the library and staying away from people who've hurt him, and he's not going to make assumptions about the new player in Park Row. In fact, he strikes up something of a friendship with the "crime lord" and finds a crass but clever kid with strict morals. Honestly, the guy seems like he just needs a hug. And some therapy.
Meanwhile, Jason doesn't really know what to make of Dick Grayson, but he ends up feeling... kind of bad for him. He can't help the urge to protect him from his plans, so he tells Dick to patrol Bludhaven the night he plans to confront Batman...

Summary
It’d been a long time since he realised he’d kill for Dick Grayson. It was only recently he realised that Dick would kill for him too. It was funny, how they always seemed to orbit one another but never came close enough to touch. The moon only lit from the reflection of the sun. He doesn’t produce his own light, he simply reflects the light the sun shares with him, the sun that’s sat next to him now.
Dick had always been the sun.
They’d always come so close but always seemed to miss.
They'd had it almost

Summary
Dick doesn’t have to ask the kid what he is doing with the schematics spread on the screen before him. He can recognise it without even any of the labels. He’s grown too familiar with it over the years.
Arkham. Specifically, the high-security wing. And, more specifically, a single cell in there.
Jason glares at him. “You won’t do it. Someone has to.”
The aftermath of Bruce's death brings tough choices - and even tougher explanations.

Summary
Jason drops his hand. Dick blows the smoke out slow, sweet rotting staining the air lightly, so different from the heavy scorch of warehouse smoke. They stare at the twisted oak tree. Jason cracks first.
“I didn’t know you smoked.”
Dick hums, taking another inhale. Smoke passes between his lips as he answers. “I didn’t know you did, either.”
Jason shrugs. He doesn’t mention that he had tried smoking leaning against the fire escape of his apartment, that it had ended with him curled up in a shaking ball pressed against the rotting tile of his bathroom floor, fingers scraping at long healed scars.
--
Jason will smoke. He will. He needs to. Dick doesn't let him do it alone.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

They’re standing on a rooftop. It’s not very high up; only about ten floors, give or take. The moon isn’t out tonight. It’s dark.
It’s too dark to tell if it’s blood that’s dripping from Jason’s gloved fists.

“So,” Jason says, quiet, eyes trained on Bruce yet clearly directing the remark to him. Dick feels strangely honoured to be included in his little aside, until he hears the ending. “He’s sharpened his stick at both ends.”
Dick has an incredulous, “What the fuck does that even-?!” bursting out of his mouth before he is quite rudely interrupted by a batarang rushing towards his rightfully confused face.
