    Summary

    "What's your favorite color?" Will asked earnestly. "You never say in any of your interviews. I'm curious."

    There was a pause.

    Then a small hitch of breath, and Mike said, "what color are your eyes?"

    Will blinked. "Ah, um - hazel. They're hazel."

    Mike let out a small huff of amusement mixed with something else. "Then hazel."

    "Oh," Will squeaked.

    "Yeah," Mike said nervously. "Oh."

    ***

    Will's read enough fanfics to know that becoming Y/N was like asking Hopper to stop smoking so much, or begging El to stop buying skincare. Impossible.

    Well... improbable, actually. As it turns out.

    Summary

    The invisible shoulder nudges him, and Mike wishes he'd taken the piece of paper to read what Will would've actually said, and then misses, more generally, Will's voice. His spoken word. Which is unfair - Mike's lucky he gets even this much, the cool brush on his arm, the creaks of his weight on the floorboards, the gentle drum of his fingers. Reminders. Will, inasmuch as he can be, is here, even if it will never feel like enough.

    Sometimes — he never tells anyone this — he shuts his eyes, tells himself that Will is alive, and sitting there, next to him, and the moment he tilted his head, they'd be face to face.

    He doesn't like opening his eyes, after that.

    Will is a ghost. Mike is haunted.

    Summary

    “Guys, Mike’s not like me, he just can’t name characters.” They both give him a pointed look, clearly not believing a word. “I’m serious, every character is a reference to someone we know.”
    “Are they now?” Dustin raises an eyebrow at him.
    “Yes!” Will is perhaps a bit exasperated, “Stephen and Jay are clearly Steve and Robin, and James is Hopper,” at the blank look they give him, he clarifies, “his first name is Jim.”
    This somehow only makes Lucas seem more unimpressed, “okay, but you do see how that’s more suspicious right?”
    “What? That Mike can’t come up with names?”
    “No,” Lucas shakes his head and clasps Will in the shoulder, “that the first name Mike thought to cannibalize when coming up with a boyfriend for you was his own”.

    The party grows closer after Will moves in with the Wheelers, picking up D&D again. It all goes well until Mike introduces a new character, Sir. Gabriel Whepler, whose sole purpose seems to be flirting with Will.

    Summary

    will pushed one of mike’s boxes to the side, “can you clean this up? i want this half of the room to be for my stuff.” mike raised his hands in surrender.

    “rest of the space is yours, picasso.” he gestured to the bed. his music was still blaring from the speaker and now there was the horrifying scrape of boxes across linoleum to accompany it, “what’s your medium? charcoal, paints…?” he drifted off, clearly unable to name another medium of art, “...crayon?”

    will shoved his bedsheets into each corner of his mattress, barely looking up, “silence. try it out sometime."

    the music paused shortly after.

    but the two are destined to be a lot more than just mutually hated roommates. and it all begins with an anonymous radio show Late Night Caller.

    Summary

    Will loved ordinary things, an uneventful existence was something he craved. Sadly, when Mike Wheeler walks into his life, Will’s easy going path snaps right in half. A passion he could never imagine overtaking his whole being.

    It was too bad their friend groups hated each other and his sister had a huge crush on the musician. Off limits.

    Fantastic.

    Summary

    A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.

    He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.

    'Arthur?'


    When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.

    He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.

    Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

    Summary

    “Jayce, what are you…"
    The door closed behind them. Before Viktor could finish his question, Jayce’s hands were on his shoulders, his lips capturing Viktor’s mouth in a kiss that was anything but gentle.
    “Jayce,” he murmured between kisses, “we… ah… someone might…"
    “I don’t care,” Jayce muttered, his voice low and rough. His hands slid down to Viktor’s waist, pulling him closer. “I want you".

    ***

    PLOT: Jayce and Viktor are young students at the Academy, who meet by an accident. From the very beginning Jayce is truly fascinated by his new colleague. To his surprise, Viktor is not like his other friends. He is distant, mysterious, but also extremely brilliant, good-looking, and—what seems to be the biggest problem—completely resistant to Jayce's personal charm. This casual acquaintance becomes a real challenge for Jayce.

    The young Talis has no idea that his relationship with Viktor will turn his life upside down.

    ***

    I wrote this as a coping mechanism to deal with the ending of the show. If you're looking for an easy read, filled with fluff, you're in the right place. We'll go on an adventure together, full of our favorite themes (like "only one bed"). So buckle up and let's go!

    Summary

    He’s familiar with the space Viktor takes up, standing next to him by the blackboard or sitting down at the tables. He knows how Viktor will shuffle underneath Jayce’s arm to correct a mistake in his maths, or rewrite a messy theory while Jayce prattles on about the next steps. He knows the surprising sturdiness of Viktor’s cane, as it smacks at his ankles when Jayce doesn’t make room fast enough.

    Viktor is no stranger to Jayce.

    ~~~

    This is just 23k of Jayce being hopelessly in love with Viktor. That's it. That's the fic.
