Summary
Mike joins a LARP for the first time and keeps his helmet on because being a paladin is easier than being himself. After one mistake, he’s introduced to the “paladin doubt” mechanic and keeps ending up confessing to the same calm cleric in purple robes.
Then Max drags him to a coffee shop, and Mike realizes the barista smiling at him is the same cleric who’s been hearing his confessions every weekend.
From there, things get complicated. Mike knows exactly who Will is but doesn't tell him. Will develops a crush on the quiet, devout paladin who kneels for penance and never takes his helmet off.

Summary
Will Byers lives a quiet, solitary life as a children's book illustrator, helping bring other people's stories to life—fixing lonely trees, drawing impossible worlds, and leaving pieces of himself on pages no one will ever know he touched.
Then, one cold night, he finds a stranger collapsed outside his apartment building. A young man who can't speak, pale, exhausted, and little more than skin and bones.
Will only means to offer him a warm place to sleep. A meal. A shower. A few days to recover.
He doesn't expect Mike to stay. He doesn't expect to learn how to understand him without words. And he certainly doesn't expect the silent stranger in his home to become part of the story Will has been trying to remember his entire life.

Summary
“So, what about you then?” he asks.
Will tilts his head.
“What about me?”
“What, um, creature would you want to encounter, hm?”
Will looks ethereal from Mike’s angle, he wants WIll to be above him forever. Will’s eyes take on a shine that twinkles down at Mike.
“Vampires.”
Mike’s mouth feels like a desert. Holy fuck.
Mike swallows thickly (Will watches) and looks at him with wide eyes. Will’s attention lies on the lipstick tube that he’s now rolling up, he glances up once. Mike manages to get one word out “...really?” Will smiles and shakes his head.
“Oh yeah– I would totally let a pretty one bite me.”
or
Mike is a Vampire and doing everything in his power not to let his fangs pop at the sight of Will in makeup.
Vampire!Mike Goth!Will

Summary
“What exactly does this pact entail, then?”
Mike leans forward very seriously, bringing his face close to Will’s.
“When they make it legal for you to get married, because they will.” He pauses, as if to make sure that Will is listening. Will laughs and nods for him to go on. “And if we’re both still alone and miserable—”
“Wow. Is that the awesome future you’re painting for us on our last night?”
“Shh.” Mike is doing a decent job at staying in character, but the crinkles around his eyes are giving him away. “If we’re both still alone by then… and at least partially miserable. That part’s important,” he continues dramatically, “I’ll marry the shit out of you, William Byers. Deal?”
Or, before heading off to college, Mike and Will make a pact. Fifteen years later, gay marriage is legalized in the state of Massachusetts. These two events are intrinsically linked to one another.
