    Summary

    It's 1992, and Mike and Will are juniors in college and living together in a tiny NYC apartment. Life is great. It's everything Mike could ever want: his best friend, an incredible city, and the world at his fingertips. The only problem? He's in love with said best friend and has no idea how he could ever tell him.

    Luckily for him, he's presented with an opportunity to get much closer to him every Friday night, as long as he promises not to get all weird after. How hard could that be?

    Or: Mike and Will become friends with benefits and the universe laughs because they're both ridiculously in love with each other.

    u/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

    Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

    Summary

    The feeling of being wanted is a powerful drug. Being wanted by the one you want is incomparable.

    "Mike," Will says lowly. "You’re— You’re so close."

    Too close, his brain supplies, a little hysterical. Too much.

    Mike doesn’t pull away. "I know."

    "Why?"

    "Keeping up…" Mike exhales a short laugh that Will feels on his neck, "appearances."

    -

    A guy hits on Will at a party, Mike leaves with a hickey, and by morning everybody thinks they're dating.

    Will knows it’s supposed to be pretend. He just doesn’t know how to act like he hasn’t wanted this for as long as he can remember.

    Summary

    "They were satellites in unstable orbit, trying desperately not to collide while being pulled toward each other anyway."

    Will Byers thought he'd buried his feelings for Mike Wheeler somewhere between Hawkins and Chicago. Then Mike walks into his life again, and eight years of distance collapse into nothing.

    What starts as a forbidden attraction becomes something neither of them can name - desperate encounters, painful misunderstandings, emotional manipulation, and Mike's inability to reconcile who he is.

    When Mike finally stops running, he might just be too late.
