Summary
“You never said anything?” Michael whispers. He knows the answer before Will even speaks.
“How could I? What difference would it have made?”
All the difference in the world, Michael thinks, but he understands that isn’t what Will means. The watchful eyes of Michael’s order and of the gods would have made it impossible for anything beyond the lines of camaraderie to flourish between them.
In the dark stairwell, pressing up against the wall and away from beam of silvery moonlight, Michael leans his head down to the delicate shell of Will’s ear and whispers:
“The eyes don’t reach here, do they?”
Or: Sir Michael and Will the Wise find themselves breaking oaths and making promises

Summary
Having lived in exile from the citadel since he was twelve, Will knows well the necessity of having a daily schedule: wake up early, gather materials, make tinctures and poultices for clients, take care of the garden, and never use magic when your hands will do just fine. These are the tasks he lives by until one ordinary day when he wakes up late, and it all spins out of control. He goes to the garden in the evening, far past his usual time, and finds an unwelcome visitor stealing his food and flowers. It only gets worse when he learns this man has been visiting every night for the past several months, unbeknownst to Will, and his eyes look just a little too familiar.
And once it becomes clear his unwelcome guest isn't going to stop his nightly visits anytime soon, Will is forced to choose between pretending as if they're strangers or divulging the peculiar past they share, between wearing a mask and allowing the truth to be told.

Summary
The second year of college was supposed to be simple—shared apartments, late-night talks, the kind of quiet normalcy they’d fought so hard to earn.
Mike and Will have always been inseparable. They are roommates now, like it was always meant to be. Like nothing could touch them anymore.
Except something has.
Will has been seeing someone—Andrew—for two years. And somehow, Mike knows nothing about the guy. At least not in the ways that matter. Not in the way Will tells him everything else.
At first, it was just small things. A hesitation, a flinch, the way Will would go quiet whenever Andrew’s name came up—if it came up at all. Then there's the unexplained bruises, the tension in every stolen glance, the avoidance, and the way Will seems to shrink into himself when Andrew is near.
Mike can feel it, something is wrong.
Will has always needed Mike. That’s never changed. But now, whatever he’s hiding is pulling him under—and Mike might be the only one who can see it happening.
The only one who can stop it.
If Will lets him.

Summary
Will just shakes his head as he looks over Mike’s decorations. Mike’s wall is just as nerdy as Will would expect, and it warms his heart. There’s a map of Middle Earth right above Mike’s pillow. Will rolls his eyes at the One Way sign that Mike brought from his room back home. Right out the window, which was where Will wanted to throw it. He goes to scan the rest of the wall, but something catches his eyes. Something familiar. A cold feeling surges from his head, down his spine, and to the bottom of his feet.
Why did he bring that?
Of all the things he could bring? It had to be that? THE painting. This was going to be a terrible year. Will still had yet to tell Mike the truth about that painting, and now his best friend just had to go and bring it?
-------
Returning from vacation, Will settles into new life at NYU with Mike. Surely nothing could go wrong with sharing a small dorm with the guy you were in love with, right? A new guy shows interest in Will, which seems to irritate Mike. On top of that, old shadows creep back in with familiar faces. The first year of college is not going as smoothly as Will would have liked.Bookmarked by Faceplant
