Summary
“It feels like I’m dying. But also being born again. I don’t know,” Mike opens his eyes slightly, the tears breaking through. He doesn’t look at Will as his continues his confession, “I can’t fucking stop. I can’t stop thinking about you. Looking at you. Reading into every single touch.”
Will's eyes are wide, they have been for a while, but he doesn't dare move. He stays silent, beckoning Mike to continue, “I keep deflecting. Asking you who Tammy is.”
Mike lets out a humorless laugh, “Will, it’s not because I'm uncomfortable with you liking guys. It’s because I’m so fucking jealous."
Mike's voice breaks, "I’m so jealous I can’t breathe when I think of it. When I think of you feeling that way about someone else. Feeling the way I feel about you.”
His voice drops, raw and unfiltered, “I love you. Not platonically. Not in a ‘you’re my best friend’ way. I love you in a way that terrifies me. In a way that makes me pull away because I don’t know what to do with it.”Or:
Mike is incredibly down bad for Will and can't figure out who the fuck Tammy is. -

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: A buzzy post-vol 1 fic in which Will finally grows more confident, only for the hivemind’s possession to take it all away again. Mike may be the only one who can bring it back. And the two of them might be the only ones who can save the world.
**Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

Summary
When Max is sent away for a month for advanced out of state hospital treatment, Lucas is left with way too much time and way too many feelings. So when he notices the unresolved tension simmering between Will and Mike, he decides to do something about it. But before he can even process what that truly entails, he’s already knee deep in secrets, feelings, and “friendships” that are a lot more complicated than he signed up for.
OR: What starts as a distraction from missing Max turns into the most complicated plan of Lucas’s life as he shifts from helping Will get over Mike to setting them up together (because he’s the bestest, most supportive friend ever, obviously!)
