    Summary

    After constant incidents of ReGect using his powers to blow up and ruin Z's builds, it drives a wedge between the two that ReGect is desperate to fix. So, along with an apology, ReGect proposes a way to finally bury the hatchet between the two of them. To make it fair, he could let Z use his powers and do anything he wanted, just for a day, with just a tiny catch. But what becomes a one-time strange experiment becomes a connection that leads to decisions that neither could have anticipated.

    Summary

    A post-canon (with some small tweaks) road trip full of tension, nightmares, gay panic, and a very long drive toward the truth.

    *

    Will just wanted to bring his brother home. He didn’t plan on sharing motel beds, surviving Mike Wheeler’s jealousy spiral, or confronting feelings he’s spent years burying.

    Mike thinks Will likes girls.
    Will thinks Mike will never love him back.
    Both of them are wrong.

    Or

    Water dripped from Will's hair, ran down his jaw, caught on his lips.

    Mike stared at it.

    Stared like he'd forgotten where he was.

    Then, slowly he lifted a towel and pressed it gently to Will's mouth, wiping the water away. His hand didn't even shake. He was steady. 

    Will's breath stuttered. Tingles tremored all the way up his spine.

    He didn't move. He couldn't. He was too aware of Mike's hand, of the way his eyes kept dropping back to his lips.

    That look again.

    The one Will had seen a dozen times now and never understood.

    Summary

    “Just saying, if you’re taking another hit, you should share it with me,” Mike says, and Will slowly tilts his head, drinking in every word. “It just makes sense. Like, mathematically.”

    Will’s reddened eyes narrow, bewildered. “Mathematically?”

    “If there’s two hits left, we’d each only get one,” Mike explains. “But if we shotgunned, we’d both get two.” God, this is the best idea he’s had in ages. He should’ve stolen Will’s weed, like, months ago. “That’s like, bang for your buck. This is simple math, Will Byers. Keep up.”

    In which it’s well past midnight in New York, Will can’t sleep, and Mike feels like they barely know each other anymore.

    So, they get a little high. Mike is very normal about all of it.

    Summary

    “Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”

    Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”

    Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.

    [...]

    “He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.

    “Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."

    Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.

    Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.
