    Summary

    Gyro squints at him. "Barbecue sounds like a fake word."

    "It's not!" Johnny protests, twisting the hare over the fire. "I got no idea where it comes from, but I swear it's a real word. Barbecue is stuff you cook slow, with smoke. It's great. When this is over I'm gonna make you come back to Kentucky with me so you can have real barbecue." He pauses, then adds, "And mint juleps. I bet you'd like mint juleps."

    "Johnny, you keep saying words at me and I'm almost entirely certain they're fake," Gyro complains, starting to prepare the other hare. "What in the hell is a julep?"

    Summary

    “You’re not—” He pauses for a moment. “You’re not looking at me. Zoro. Can you…”

    Oh. Shit.

    “I can’t see.” Now that he’s noticed, it’s very obvious.

    Zoro loses his eyesight to a devil fruit user. He thinks it's all right. Sanji, for some reason, doesn't.

    Summary

    "Whoa, what crawled up your shorts today, princess?” Richie says with a laugh. He glances around the table waiting for everyone else to join in, but they just watch the two interact the same way you’d watch the horizon when you hear a storm was rolling in. “It was just a joke, Eddie. Guess you can’t take one of those either, just like your mom can’t take my–”

    “Wow,” Eddie interrupts, adopting a sickly-sweet tone. He slowly puts his fork down and clasps his hands together in front of his lunch tray, sending a forced smile in Richie’s direction. “You must be an excellent lover.”

    or: Eddie accepts a dare to compliment Richie a hundred times, not knowing that along the way he’ll discover how much he likes it when Richie degrades him in return – maybe a little too much.

    Summary

    Will's only ever smoked one other time. (It wasn't even cool.)
    When Jonathan came in to check on him, glass of water in hand, he was sitting bolt upright. All he said was, ”El’s door doesn’t have a lock, right?”
    So for the next 2 hours, as Jonathan dozed off next to him on his bed, Will sat there and drew. After stumbling into his sister’s room and pulling that shitty Polaroid of him off her wall, he conjured Mike up and spat him out into his sketchbook like it was nothing.
    Of course—it was the best thing he’d ever drawn.
    The whole thing screamed, unabashedly, "I love you".
    After that, Will swore he wouldn’t smoke again.
    Until Mike comes to him (in the middle of an apocalypse no less), and with that bashful, sweet little smile he reserves for Will and only Will (Goddamnit.), he makes a little joke about dying before he ever gets to do one little regular teenage rebellion.
    And who is Will to say no?

    Or: Mike and Will get stoned in the Wheeler's basement, as the world ends.

    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.
