    Summary

    Will scoffs, offense clear on his face as his mouth drops open, eyebrows pulling together. “What part of my love life requires an intervention?”
    “The part where you only date Mike doppelgangers,” Max states, unimpressed.

    or,
    will byers thinks he's doing great. he's doing well in school, he has a decent part-time job, and he has people he loves around him. he's very well adjusted. except for the fact that he only dates guys that look exactly like mike and doesn't seem to notice that mike is scaring them all off.

    Summary

    There's a healing bullet wound on Peter's right thigh, one that makes him put more focus than he'd like into not limping despite the ache that comes with every step. One of the sweatshirts he snagged from Mr. Stark back when he was fifteen is pulled over his shoulders, hair visibly disheveled where it peeks out from the hood covering his head, hands shoved deep into his pockets as he waits in line. Realistically, his budget is too tight to fit a five dollar coffee from a corner café in Manhattan, but after the week he's had, he thinks he might not survive without getting pumped full of caffeine, so he ignores the part of him that says to tuck his wallet away and leave, instead stepping forward, fighting a wince when his injured leg is shifted and forced to hold his weight, and looking up when it's his turn to order.

    On the other side of the counter, blue eyes and blond curls greet him, curious as they take him in, with a name tag pinned to the front of his apron that says Harley. There's also something instantly intriguing about him that Peter can't quite place.

    Summary

    “That’s not my favorite.”

    “Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”

    Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.

    “Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”

    Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.

    Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.

    Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”

    Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.

    Summary

    Mike and Will haven't kept in touch despite promising to do so after leaving Hawkins. But his brother's sudden departure and the urgent need for a roommate lead him to take the desperate measure of asking Mike Wheeler. A guy who used to be his best friend. A guy he definitely doesn't still have feelings for...

     

    Just as he was about to leave the living room, he heard Mike call after him.

    “Will! One question! Does your notebook say what the protocol is for jerking off? How much notice do I have to give?”

    “Asshole!” Will shouted from the hallway. Mike’s laughter was the last thing he heard before closing his bedroom door.

    What an idiot.

    Summary

    “They’re the American frontrunners,” Max explains.

    “You’re having lunch with your fiercest competitors?” Mike questions, taking Will’s outstretched hand and giving it a firm shake. It’s warm and soft, unexpectedly so. Will is smiling at him, also warm and soft—and Mike, not usually very smiley, can’t resist returning the expression as he takes his seat at the table.

    “Fiercest?” Jane asks, her tone bewildered. She reaches out and grabs Will’s jaw with her hand, shaking his face back and forth as he scowls. “Look at this face! Does this look fierce to you?”

    Or, an Olympic Figure Skating au.
