Summary
A canon-compliant, internally consistent episode-by-episode exploration of Mulder and Scully’s interiority, usually accompanied by a little vignette, before or after. (Digging into the on-screen *and* the off-screen, one ep at a time.)
I've tagged it Explicit for future-purposes; explicity comes to those who wait, or something.
Currently taking a break between seasons, but I’ll be back soon.
Though I’m writing these because I feel compelled to do so, I hope that you enjoy them! That would be lagniappe.

Summary
“Sorry,” Will says weakly.
“Don’t be,” Mike whispers. “C’mon, Will. You know I’m not like that guy. We’ve been managing this—” He gestures between the two of them, and Will’s eyes fall to his hand—“for, like, half our lives. It’d be really shitty to quit on you now.”
He lets his hand fall between them, palm open. Will’s hand twitches against his comforter.
“You know I’m here,” he breathes. “And you…you know I love you.”
Will’s eyes snap back up to his. His irises are pale in the moonlight, and so bright they look translucent. His lips are parted, and as Mike watches, he runs his tongue between them. He takes in a breath, holds it, and lets it out.
“I know, Mike,” Will says. His voice cracks on Mike’s name.1991. The Castro, San Francisco, California. Mike Wheeler moves into Will Byers's apartment, comes of age, and falls in love.

Summary
By all accounts, though, this should have worked. William had pored over countless volumes from the royal Library, and, when all other remedies failed, had ventured deeper, darker. Surely there would be some ancient magic strong enough to break Sir Michael from his trance.
A dangerous spell goes awry. Sir Michael vanishes off the face of the earth, and a disgruntled teenager takes his place. Worlds away, Will Byers discovers a wrench has been thrown in his plan to have a great summer.

Summary
“You should come to New York. With me,” he finally blurts out, without looking at Mike.
Mike immediately frowns.
“What?”
“I...” He stammers and looks away. He takes a moment to breathe, and Mike does the same, trying to ease his own nerves because what the fuck?
Will sighs. “I don’t want you to stay,” he starts, hesitantly. “Whatever you do, I really, really don’t think it’s a good idea for you to stay in Hawkins.”
or: their last DnD session left Mike unsatisfied and frustrated. He finds he's not the only one.

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.
