Summary
Nobody knew how hard it was to focus when his brain would never shut up, that when his teacher talked about medieval slavery all he could think of was his new campaign and how the party would have to rescue slaves from the rule of a tyrannical king, and then all he could think of was how to make the Goblin NPC they were almost certainly going to befriend funny so that he could make Will laugh, and then all he could think of was Will and by then the class had ended and he was being handed another note home.
——
Or, Mike Wheeler struggles with being a teenager in the 80’s. The only pesky thing is he is hopelessly in love with his best friend, and god knows Mike doesn’t know how to handle that.

Summary
Some people would have thought their relationship was weird. Six teens, boundaries lowered, bonded over trauma that should never have happened, dating in a weird haphazard way. Trying to get back on their feet.
The best they could do was so survive. And if that meant Max dating Lucas and El and Mike and Dustin, or if it meant Will dating Mike and Lucas and loving El and Max and Dustin like family, then so be it.
None of them knew what 'polyamorous' meant, but that was okay. They didn't need to label whatever it was that they had.
They all loved each other, and that was all that mattered.

Summary
The shadowy figure was dripping wet, dark wingtips dragging along the grass from exhaustion as they approached. He wore an eyepatch—just a rough, bloody strip of fabric tied around his head and matted into damp, muddy curls.
The red sweater was ripped and stained with a brown substance, the wings tattered with broken white feathers sticking out at odd angles.
Scar felt his mouth go dry and his insides tense in fear. “G… Grian?” What was wrong with him?
The figure took another step forward before latching onto the front of Scar’s shirt with dirty fingers. His remaining, red-tinted eye looked deep into Scar’s, like it was trying to see his soul.
“You’re not my Scar, are you?” He said.
~A novella where Double Life Grian comes looking for his Scar to make amends but ends up in Hermitcraft~

To many of the hermits Xisuma was more than just an admin or a friend. He was their guardian angel. Someone they owed their life to.

Summary
"Dude, quit squirming!" Scar's laugh starts as a deep, bright rumble in the pit of his stomach, soaring from his throat to punch the air in short, ribboned strokes, each a brilliant star between them. The air here is warm, dazed, an illuminated snow globe— except the globe is his tree, and the snow drifts in downy feathers outside it, forming an intricate latticework of frostbitten fingers that crawl up the sides of his windows.
They’d retreated here an hour ago— once their impromptu snowball fight with Doc had transcended from three hermits to thirteen— all shivers and chattering teeth, drenched to the bone. Now, with the fire stoked, sweaters both discarded and exchanged, neither one of them can ignore how the bedraggled wreck of Grian’s feathers are in desperate need of preening.
"You're doing this on purpose!" Grian's retort is tart, but it lacks true bite, curling high as a silver wisp of smoke. "Sto— stop it, Scar, stop trying to tickle me—!"
