    Summary

    "What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"

    There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."

    Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"

    "They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"

    "Yeah, I heard. What about…"

    "Will, there's no one else. I've tried."

    "Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"

    "Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."

    Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."

    Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in two years.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler wrote a fantasy saga where the hero's sword is cursed, rotting away whenever he's late. He hates touring, he hates Hollywood, he hates silence, until, during a tour in New York, a stray puppy that smelled just like Will gives him a purpose again. A clue.

    Will, on the other hand, learned that promising is the most dangerous thing in the world. He promised to stay, but when the test was positive, he packed everything and vanished into the night. He spent the next five years raising an asthmatic boy who was the spitting image of Mike Wheeler. He never told him.

    And he never would.

    Or: the classic trope, ‘the omega finds out he's pregnant after a one night stand and runs away. Years later, the alpha finds them… and the little kid that’s an exact mini replica of them ’, with byler!

    Summary

    “I have a what?” Mason exclaims, eyes widening dramatically as he leans forward on the couch.

    Will, ever patient, lays a hand on one of the legs he’s currently kneeling between, settled on the living room rug. “A sister,” he repeats. His voice is a stark contrast to Mason’s, all gentle and calm.

    “Yeah, I got that part,” Mason says, dangerously toeing the line into condescension. “What does that mean? Did you go out and adopt a kid while I was at school?”

    ——

    Mason’s biological sister, newly entered into the foster system, comes to live with Mike and Will. Considering Mason’s jealous history with little girls, his transition into brotherhood is not bound to be pretty.

    Summary

    First, there is the dark:

    Waking, drowning, sideways-slipping.

    A creature with three mouths, ten thousand teeth. The inky collapse of a nebula. A demo-dog with no beak.

    Mike in the evening. Mike in the afterlife. Mike with sun-swollen cheeks.

    Then:

    “Disgusting?” Will echoes.

    The clock starts to chime. The world seems to shrink.

    “You're disgusting,” Mike says, definitive.

    “I’ll just–” Will says, but there is no just about it, only floundering fish-feet as he struggles off the couch and to the foot of the stairs, someone behind him promising the juiciest steak you’ll ever eat!

    Then:

    Compared to Will’s skin, Mike's hand is nearly searing, long-knuckled, sixteen. It fizzles through Will like a lightning strike. In this moment, in the car, Will wants him.

    Will always wants him – his dimples, his fine-motor skills, his tongue caught between his teeth.

    or, after Vecna captures Will, things go a little differently.
