    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is a mess. Nearly thirty years old, a closeted virgin, and secretly in love with his childhood best friend. What better way to turn things around than to spend his thirtieth birthday with the Party playing D&D? When Will casts an overpowered Zone of Truth spell, Mike fears the campaign is over. Except the spell doesn't target the NPC holding the key to victory—Mike is the affected creature.

    What starts as an innocent evening filled with adventure quickly devolves into a humiliating display of lust as Mike answers the Party's questions about his sexual preferences and his feelings for a certain someone. Even worse, he comes to find that Will is more than happy to get him alone to continue the interrogation.

    or

    “Let’s roll for it.”

    “I already have to tell you the truth if you ask,” Mike says.

    “True,” Will smiles. “But this is more fun, right? A proper persuasion check?”

    “Okay,” Mike breathes out. “I’m- I’m still the DM, so… You roll for persuasion. Let’s say the Difficulty Class is ten. That’s fair, right?”

    It might as well be a five, hell, maybe even a two. Mike’s too eager, too fucking desperate to not be persuaded by any suggestion of his.

    Summary

    Stacey’s party invite can’t be ignored. Mike is pouting about it. Will wants to get white-girl-wasted. There’s a charge in the air. Who will make the first move?

    OR:

    What happens after lasagna?

    ------------

    Excerpt:
    “Jeez did you two have a fucking fight in the closet? That’s… so unbelievably far from what you’re supposed to do when playing seven minutes in heaven, guys,” Dustin says, exasperated, “it’s not supposed to be real, it’s a fantasy – you make out in the dark, leave it in the closet and move on.”

    Except there was no way Will could move on from what just happened.

    Seven minutes in heaven?

    Fuck that.

    More like seven minutes in hell.

    Confusion, confession, and what felt like an almost kiss?

    Actual torture.

    Summary

    The summer before college, Mike and Will move into a tiny studio together, ready to start their next chapter — only to discover their across-the-street neighbor has a very public, very active sex life. Their weekly “observations for research purposes” are all jokes and commentary…until one night the neighbor brings home a man, and something in Mike shifts. Suddenly the bit isn’t so funny, the spiral is very real, the lines start to get a little too blurry, and the curiosity feels a bit too personal. Unfortunately for Mike, the only thing more distracting than the view outside is his childhood best friend living three feet away.

    Summary

    We jump into a quarantine-lifted Hawkins, sometime in late 1990. The consequences of the final battle with Vecna have left Will’s eyesight severely impaired.

    Mike, a university student and nine-to-five'er ends up taking on the role of primary caregiver in he and Will's budding relationship, and with money given to them by the government, the two of them have moved into a nice one-story house in Mike's college town; only an hour or two away from Hawkins' while being a close enough drive to Mike's campus.

    OR

    Will is basically blind. Mike is his caregiver. New tensions arise with their newfound dynamic and it puts a damper on their sex-life. Messily, they work it out by bickering in front of all their family and friends at Christmas dinner.
