Summary
"I think... I think they're all wrong. I think Merlin-- uh, wizard-Merlin was Arthur's advisor, sure, but... they must have been friends, too. I mean, Merlin would need to actually like Arthur to stick around a bunch of meathead knights, shitty love triangles, and deadly quests. More than just believing in the king, they’d need to be friends. So, yeah. I think they probably got on.”
--
The new year has just rolled over into 1985 and closet-Arthurian-legend-nerd Steve Harrington is already so overwhelmed by the new gaggle of children hanging off of him and wheedling him into being their personal chauffeur that he’s entirely unprepared for the chaos the new student would bring into his life.
Merlin just wants to know why this guy feels so familiar. And why his magic drew him to Hawkins, Indiana of all places.
(Post-Season 2 AU for ST, modern reincarnation style for Merlin)

Summary
A hand grasps his shoulder, someone is saying his name. It’s Mike. Who else would it be? He’s crouching down so they’re at eye level, a smile so big and so bright Will swears he’s looking at the Sun.
For the first time in a long time, Will Byers is proud of who he is. For the first time in a long time, he accepts that he might deserve love, only he still doesn't think he's actually going to get it.
Mike finally works through his feelings, but for some reason, Will keeps rejecting him.

Summary
In a desperate, last-ditch flail of an effort to salvage the situation, Mike grabbed Will’s arm.
The silence veered from heavy to charged. All of Mike’s attention surged into his hand. He felt like the entirety of his consciousness was suddenly located in the place where his skin touched Will’s.
What the fuck, thought Mike for the second time in ten minutes.
Or,
After first using his powers, Will falls unconscious—and stays that way. Mike reflects on the last year and a half while he waits for Will to wake up.aka how a snowball becomes an avalanche, aka mikewhatthefuckdidyoudogate. now complete!

Summary
Will's injured after a Demogorgon attack, and Mike insists on patching him up. It should be simple—clean the wound, wrap the bandage, done. But Mike's hands keep lingering, and the air between them feels heavier with every touch. They've been walking this line for months, finding excuses to be close without ever crossing it. Maybe it's time to stop pretending.
