Summary
“Can I hug you?” he repeated, voice smaller now. He desperately hoped that Will would say yes.
He didn’t want to, but he held eye contact with Will for as long as it took Will to search his expression. For what, Mike didn’t know, but after a long moment, Will finally nodded. “Yeah, Mike, you can hug me.” And Mike didn’t hesitate to haul Will back to his feet so he could hug him properly, full-bodied and chest to chest.
“I’m so sorry, Will,” he murmured into Will’s hair. “I’m so sorry.”
--
In which Mike and El decide to end their relationship in favor of being friends, he punches Troy Walsh, and finally allows himself to feel what he feels for Will while they work on patching up their friendship so that maybe, someday, he can be brave enough to ask for more - not necessarily in that order. A bit of a prequel to the first fic in the series, though they can be read as standalones.

Summary
Expressing her emotions had never been Max's strong point, especially affection. It's not that she doesn't care, she loves her friends more then anything, but something about actually telling them that terrifies her. But suddenly there's a more pressing situation looming over her head, and if there's anything she wants to say it might be now or never. As much as it might scare her there are things she has to tell them. Things they deserve to know.
(Max's letters from "Dear Billy".)

Summary
“Thanks,” Lucas says, taking the letter. His letter. The eye he can open is shiny with tears. “For—bringing this.”
“You been reading to her, huh?” Dustin asks. They’re all there: El. Mike. Erica. Steve, stroking Max’s hair back from her forehead.
“Yeah. They say people can—hear.”
“Wherever they are,” Dustin says. It’s not that a lightbulb goes off. He can’t—he can’t think of it in terms of light. But it’s something. “You’re right.”

Summary
Dear Mike,
OK, so part of the reason I wrote this is it would look weird if you were the only one without a letter. I mean, let’s face it, we were never the best of friends. When I came to town, you were too caught up in whatever was happening with Will, and then with El, and then… okay, then you were kind of a dick, but I’ve had my own moments of dickishness in recent years, so I’ll try not to be a hypocrite. And yeah, I sort of stole your girlfriend for like, a week, so we had some sore spots.
The point is, we were never that close, and when I wasn’t close with Lucas and Dustin and El anymore… anything we had completely disappeared.
