    Summary

    "It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."

    "You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.

    "Absolutely."

    Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.

    After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.

     

    Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

    Summary

    “Uh-huh,” Mike says faintly, and he yelps when they narrowly avoid the edge of a shining skyscraper, and his hands clutch onto Spiderman instinctively. “Oh – my fucking God, that –”

    Spiderman’s fingers press a little firmly into Mike’s shirt. "Just – hang on!"

    "What do you mean just hang – was that a pun," Mike sputters, clutching onto Spiderman for dear life as they swing through the city, and he can hear the superhero laugh through the racing wind in his ears, the rumble of it under Mike’s arm wrapped around his middle.

    In a city of superheroes, Mike keeps running into Spiderman, much to his dismay.
    On a completely different and unrelated note, Mike also attempts to woo and charm his neighbor into a date.

    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

    Bucky doesn't even believe in the paranormal. So who the hell thought it was a good idea to stick him in a series about everything haunted for the internet's amusement? With his loose-canon of a teammate who has no concept of subtlety or any shits left to give, to make things even worse.

    Summary

    “How about a bet?”
    Keith paused.
    “If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
    Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
    “You’re not going to make that happen.”
    “Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
    Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
    “And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
    Now that got Keith’s attention.
    They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
    A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”

    ***

    When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.
