    Summary

    When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.

    Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."

    He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

    Summary

    The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
    That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
    Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
    But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
    It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.

    (This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )

    Summary

    Bakugou Katsuki is fine. He is fine. Sure, he has nightmares every time he close his eyes. Sure, he hasn't had more than 4 hours of sleep a night in 6 years. Sure, he spirals in his head a lot. Sure, he spends an hour every day just sitting with a gravestone and maybe sometimes hears that voice. But he's fine. Because he can fucking deal with it.

    And when his stupid friends want to go to a haunted house for a Youtube video, he's going with them. Because he's not afraid of ghosts, he's not afraid of monsters, he's not afraid of the dark, and he's not afraid of that stupid house. Not anymore.

    Right?

    Summary

    Regulus knows James Potter. The kind of music he likes, what he does in his free time, every single detail he can absorb.

    James does not know him.

    Sirius has made sure of that, keeping his mentally unwell brother far away from the object of his obsession. Funnily enough, it's James who comes to Regulus. Well-meaning, curious with no idea what he's getting into.

    The lines between love and obsession are blurry and hard to read.

    “No, we’re friends now, remember? I know it hasn’t been long, but I think I’m learning you, aren’t I?”

     

    Are you?

     

    James had Regulus, but he didn’t know him. Regulus knew James but didn’t have him.

     

    “Maybe you could,” was all Regulus could say in response. That was a truth. James could probably learn Regulus inside and out. Regulus would offer that if it didn’t mean breaking down the fixation—the rotting truth behind their growing relationship.
