    Summary

    It's the 2000's, and Michael Wheeler is miserable. He hates everything about himself; everything he'd become. He has nothing left to lose. Dustin, who still greives Steve's and Eddie's death, invents a machine that allows them to travel through the multiverse- to see other dimensions, other versions of themselves.
    Together, they look for a reality where Steve and Eddie are alive, but instead they find answers Mike didn't know he was looking for.

    Or: Miserable Mike realizes that he is only happy when he's with Will.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    fucking masterpiece. the emotional depth is unmatched. this fic made me remember how moving literature can be. i really felt like i was carrying mike's pain along with hill throughout the story. there is nothing else i can say except that i was fully immersed in this world. i love it.

    Summary

    What did he think, really?

    What did he hope to find in the arms of a Mike Wheeler who's suddenly comfortable enough to go to gay bars in New York? That he was just going to have sex with his first love, who's gotten even prettier than he was six years ago and realise, oh, actually yeah I'm definitely over you?

    Yes. Yes, that was what he'd hoped. That's exactly why he'd taken Mike up on the offer, goddammit.

    But he can't face palm hard enough to leave a mark right now, because as he mentioned before, Mike is naked, lying on top of him, gently kissing up and down his neck, still warm and sticky inside him. He can't face palm, because he was wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.

    aka after the best hook up he's ever had, will tries to convince himself that mike is still a jerk. mike proves him wrong with aftercare and a surprising confession

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?

    Summary

    “So yeah, you could say I’m sexually frustrated,” Will concludes, a wry smile on his face as he finally finishes his rant. “Not to be too graphic, but all I want is a nice, good-looking man who can fuck me hard.” He tips his head towards Mike’s where they're both leaning against the wall, and shuts his eyes for a long moment. “It’s whatever, though. I’ll get ov-”
    “I could help you out,” Mike blurts out.
    “You- I- What did you say?” Will stammers. Mike squeezes his eyes shut for a long moment, breathes, and then opens them again and meets Will’s gaze determinedly.
    “I could help you,” Mike says, with somehow only the slightest tremble of uncertainty in his voice. "As in, we could have sex."

    or; Will is struggling. Guys who are nice, hot, AND good in bed are apparently non-existent at their university. Frustrated, he complains to Mike - who makes him an offer he can't refuse.
    Unfortunately, there's always an aftermath to hooking up with your best friend.
    Meanwhile, Mike has some realisations.
