Summary
“Will's the Sorcerer, right?”
“Uhh, yeah? I mean the character is loosely based-,”
Max burst out laughing, “and you're the Paladin? Oh my God Mike-,”
“The hell is so funny?” Mike snapped.
“You don't even?” Max scoffed. This is why Mike didn't like talking to Max. She spoke as if she knew some joke that flew right over Mike's head, and Mike had a feeling he was the joke.
“Mike. I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just gonna say it,” Max started, “The Paladin is in love with The Sorcerer.”
Mike groaned. They stayed silent for a moment. Max waiting for a reply and Mike cringing at the revelation that maybe this ran deeper than he thought. Maybe the critics weren't wrong. Maybe Heather, along with the rest of his fans, hadn't been crazy after all and hadn't completely misunderstood the text he'd spent seven years writing.
“Why does everyone keep saying that?” He finally grumbled.
Or, In 1996, Mike releases a book inspired by the party and their adventures. A small but loud fandom forms around shipping The Paladin and The Sorcerer. But, that was all wrong. Mike had never been in love with Will, had he?

Summary
“Do you ever think about what it would be like to kiss your Mike?” Goth Mike's expression turns serious as he stares directly into Will’s eyes.
Will’s mouth quivers. “Uh- I- Um-”
Goth Mike waits patiently for his answer. Will steadies himself with a deep breath and gazes ahead. “I used to a lot." He shrugs. "I try not to anymore, because we’re just meant to be friends in our universe.” Will tries to say it as though he’s happily accepted the reality. It doesn’t hurt any less. “But… it still happens sometimes,” he whispers.
Goth Mike looks at him with pain behind his eyes. “Do you want to know what it’s like? Right now?”
OR
Will is swept off his feet by alternate versions of Mike while Mike fights for his life to face the question of why they aren't together.
