    Summary

    One security camera. One leaked video. One choice that changes everything.

    Ilya Rozanov loses his country, his team, and his shot at Olympic gold in a single night. But he doesn’t lose Shane, and that makes all the difference.

    A story about finding home in a person, not a place. About choosing love over legacy. And about winning the medal you never knew you needed, standing next to the one person who matters most.

    Summary

    Sarah
    Does anyone have the number for Shane's girl from Boston? I feel bad that they've been seeing each other for this long and we've never added her here.

    Jackie
    Oh good point! Let me ask Hayden.

    Jackie has added Lily to the conversation

    Lily
    what
    what is this

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is, apparently, one of the girls.

    Summary

    Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.

    The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.

    He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
    On the page, the name stares back at him.

    Will the Wise.

    Summary

    “I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”

    Will froze.

    Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.

    Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.

    When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.

    As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

    Summary

    Everyone around Mike seems to have someone to kiss for New Years. Lucas has Max. Joyce has Hopper. Nancy has Jonathan. His mom has his dad (Ew.) Robin has… whoever she has.
    And Mike wouldn’t say he feels left out but… fuck, okay, he feels left out. He wants someone to share that special, pivotal New Year’s kiss with too.
    So the only logical thing for him to do is find a way to kiss the only other person without someone to kiss — his best friend.

    OR: Mike and Will share a New Year's kiss, and it completely lights up, crashes and burns.

    Summary

    “Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.

    Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'

    Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

    Summary

    Mike sits up straighter, wanting to hear the rest of what Will has to say as Will looks around the room, looking for any negative reactions.

     

    “I mean I do… just… not the way you guys do. And I uh… I had this crush on someone, even though I know… I know they’re not like me.” And will looks directly at Mike.

     

    Oh. Oh.

     

    ———————

     

    Will comes out to his family and the party, and Mike realizes he was Will’s crush. Now he has to tell Will how he feels, to let him know he’s always loved him, even though it might be too late.

    Summary

    “In the church,” she adds. “It’s shielded and old... quiet. He won’t look for you there.”

    Mike’s fingers curl slightly into Will’s jacket, instinctive and protective. “I’ll stay with him,” Mike says immediately, not even looking at Hopper this time. “The whole time.”

    El nods. She doesn’t question it, like she knows that’s where he’s always been meant to be. Will exhales slowly, then looks at Mike. “You don’t have to—” he starts.

    “I know,” Mike says quietly. “But I want to.”

    or; Mike stays with Will in the Upside Down as the group splits, and when Will faces danger in the church where they're hiding, Mike realizes this is his final chance to bring Will back.

    Summary

    “Will, what are you saying? I- I mean, I know! I know you don’t like me, but what are you-“, Mike shivers, tears stinging in his eyes. He feels pathetic and he’s not sure how Will found out. Everything Mike had said before hadn’t even scratched the surface of what he feels for Will. How does he know?

    Will rolls his eyes, getting up. “No, I don’t think you know, Mike. I would never, in a million years, touch you. I’m so appalled by you, by the fact that somehow, somewhere inside of you, you truly believe we should be together. It’s ridiculous, it’s disgusting.”

    “Will-“, Mike croaks, standing and placing a hand on his shoulder, only to be shoved against the wall, hard. A clock chimes somewhere, again. Mike has heard it before, maybe a few days ago but he truly can’t remember. “Will, you don’t mean that. Come on, I’m sorry.”

    -

    After Will admitting that he likes guys, Mike is confronted with his own feelings that he has pushed down for the longest time. He gets Vecna'd and is forced to face the secrets he's been keeping, the feelings he has for his best friend. But how could he ever tell him?

    Summary

    Will is allowed to have other friends. Mike knows that, but that doesn't mean Will should be touching anyone else, because he's Will's best friend. So why is Will so close to Lucas? Why does it hurt to look at?
    -
    Or:
    Mike sucks at feelings, Lucas knows how to get him worked up, initiate the seasonal Byler fight and lots of confessions.

    Summary

    “If you really don’t want to do this, just say so. I will never bring it up again,” Mike says as he moves his hands near his face, and Will panics again.

    “No, I do really, I just don’t get… Why me?” He asks and swallows as he lets the sentence leave his lips, if he doesn’t hold his tongue, things he doesn’t want out could make their way out.

    “It feels safe,” Mike says simply, and Will’s stomach warms up, he's so scewed.

     

    A.k.a Mike gets teased for sucking at kissing, Will laughts at him, and then regrets it when Mike suggests practicing together.

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    Will stirred sleepily to the sound of voices and a heavy weight beside him.

    “Whazup?” he mumbled, lifting his head off the pillow and blinking in the darkness.

    “Shhh, it’s fine,” replied Mike’s soft voice, breaking through the stillness that had followed Will’s muffled question, “I’ve got this one. You can go back to sleep.”

    Mike and Will take turns staying up with Holly, who has begun to have nightmares about the monsters in Hawkins. Things take a curiously domestic turn.

    Summary

    “…” Yor bites onto her lower lip, her blush darkening as she moves to stuff her face into the pillow, her voice getting muffled. “…Y-yes, it is.”

    “Good,” He might be pulling out some new moves that are known to provoke a more sensual feeling for his clients as he works his fingers into her lower back, a spot he knows to be sensitive to most humans but—he doesn’t need her to know. “Then just relax for me, okay?”

    That alone manages to have her let out another moan, this time muffled, as he works her up even more.

    Or: a fic where Loid notices that Yor is a little stressed lately, so he proposes a harmless solution by giving her a back massage. However, that eventually leads to something a little more than what they both envisioned for tonight.
