    Summary

    “And you,” Will deadpans, trying to ignore the way his heart is racing in his chest, “are literally under a spell right now.”

    Mike grins, wide and dopey and so stupidly lovestruck. “Yeah, I am,” he agrees, and it’s far too flirtatious for Will’s liking, “I’m under your spell.”

    Or:

    Mike gets hit by a spell that causes him to fall in love with Will. Naturally, chaos ensues.

    Summary

    "Oh, right. You're not my Mike."

    "…huh?"

    Will sighs, moving his hand back to his chest, settling it comfortably under his chin.

    "I thought you were," he continues, like what he was saying made any sense and he wasn't talking about Mike to Mike like they were two different people, "for a moment, at least. But my Mike doesn't look like you. Doesn't act like you."

     

    or: after the fight at the MAC-Z, Will can feel his bones breaking even though they're completely fine and gets fed a heavy dose of painkillers that might as well function as a truth serum too.

    Summary

    William got to his feet and turned around, prayer book clutched to his chest. Michael was standing in the center of the chapel, obviously just come from sparring practice. He was still wearing his dented cuirass, a leather pauldron on his right shoulder. The moonlight through the stained-glass windows painted him in blue and gold.

    “Forgot to leave your armor behind in the gymnasium?” asked William lightly, skirting around him to set the prayer book back in its tabernacle.

    “Something like that,” said Michael. He stepped out of the shaft of light, joining William at the perimeter of the circular room.

    William closed the ornate wooden door of the tabernacle and turned to face him. “How did you know I’d be here?”

    “I know you,” Michael said simply. I love you, he might as well have said, for the way it sent William’s heart skittering inside his chest.

    Michael has been betrothed to the princess since their infancy. But it’s her brother he really wants.

    Summary

    Mike and Will haven't been friends for three years; not since Vecna was killed, the Byers-Hopper family moved away, and Mike decided Will would be better off without him. Now they're college roommates (at the insistence of their mothers), and they do a pretty good job of avoiding each other until Mike notices that there's something going on with Will...

    OR

    Will experiences the anniversary effect, and though Mike let Will bike away on November 6th, 1983, he decides he never wants to let Will go again.

    Summary

    The anniversary effect is very real; they’ve all felt it. Especially Will, as another shiver racks through him, stronger than the last. This time, Will takes a step closer to Mike and presses their shoulders together. Whether it’s for body heat or comfort, Mike doesn’t know, but he isn’t going to complain.

    If he can’t protect Will from the horrible memories and sleepless nights, he can at least protect him from the autumn breeze. He quickly tugs off his leather jacket and holds it out for Will to take, who looks down at it in surprise.

    “What?” he asks, glancing between it and Mike, like he doesn’t know what to do with it.

    “You’re cold,” Mike states, no room for question. He knows that Will would lie about it if he could.

    Mike and Will attempt to navigate Halloween together while struggling with the anniversary effect.
