Summary
Will holds his breath and waits. Waits for Mike to take back the offer, to say he was joking, to say that was a stupid idea. But he doesn’t. He simply stares at Will and bites his lip, as if awaiting Will’s judgment.
“I’m not sure…”
“I mean, friends can do it,” Mike adds, running a hand through his hair. “It’s not like— it’s just, it can calm your body.”
After being on heat suppressants for a few months, Will begins experiencing symptoms of a phantom heat. Mike, an alpha, offers to help relieve the symptoms by scenting him. As a friend. Totally as friends.

Summary
Dustin hums in agreement while he swallows his bite. “It’s like, against his factory settings to say no to you. What do you need him to do, model for you or something?”
Will shoves his face back into his hands. “I’m going to fail.”
Max rolls her eyes. “You’re not going to fail, you’re going to paint Mike.”
Will lifts his head up from his hands, eyes wide, and shakes his head. “You don’t understand.” He pleads with his awful, awful friends, voice low. “He’s been, he’s using my-he came out of my bathroom in just a towel last night.”
--
Studio art major Will Byers has a study of the human body due before the semester ends, is in desperate need for a model, and has a huge, life-altering, heart wrenching crush on his best friend.
Enter: Mike Wheeler, his broken shower, and his collection of plaid-print boxers.

Summary
This is the first girl who’s ever asked Mike out — something he had, in the not too distant past, been terrified would never happen. And Mike just stands there, feeling like his dining hall dinner is about to crawl back up his esophagus.
Jeremy, Saint Jeremy, nudges him with an elbow. “He’s kind of private about it, but Mike actually has someone back home.”
Mike turns his head to look at Jeremy, expecting a knowing smile or the hint of a wink. But Jeremy actually looks sincere, which makes Mike’s eyebrows sink down, almost to the top of his nose.
“Will, right?” Jeremy supplies, forever trying to be helpful. “He’s at CalArts?”

Summary
"That day, when you told us about how you don't like girls. You mentioned a crush, someone who didn't like you back…"
A punched out breath escaped Will. "I didn't think you would ever bring it up, honestly. For the longest time, I wasn't even sure you knew."
"I didn't. I just never- I don't understand.. why me? After everything that happened, why would it be me?" Mike felt like he was being wheeled into surgery, laid bare on the table for everyone to see the mess that was his heart.
"What? Mike, how could it not be you?" Will let out a disbelieving laugh. "Mike, it was always you. It had always been you back then."
Back then. Late again.
"But not anymore?"
Mike Wheeler gets drunk and confessions ensue.

tell me, is it really love? by agustplz (shout_out_lou)

Summary
Will Byers loves Mike Wheeler.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. Of course he loves Mike. He always has. But it’s never felt like this. It’s never hurt to think about it, but it also never felt like a revelation rather than a fact. It hurts, and there’s nothing he can do to ease the pain. He looks across the room at Mike and all he sees is beauty where minutes ago he only saw his best friend. He notices entire constellations in the freckles strewn across his nose, stars glittering in his eyes, and it all seems inevitable. He loves Mike. He loves him and it’s a foregone conclusion, a wish on a shooting star destined to burn out. He loves him and he can’t ever have him, not in that way, and there’s nothing in the world that can ever hurt him again quite like this.
OR: When the party dares Mike to tell someone he loves them for one hundred days, Will doesn't expect to be the unlucky recipient. He definitely doesn't expect it to consume his last three months in Hawkins. But like most things in his life, absolutely nothing goes to plan.

Summary
She isn’t blind. She knows Clark has a crush on her. Everyone at the Planet knows that.
But the problem is, the feelings aren’t entirely one-sided. She can’t afford to be distracted, god knows that. Relationships are messy and she’s never been any good at it. Still, the way Clark Kent is staring at her, all too serious, filled with too much wounding devotion, she fears what he’s going to say because she’s always thought he’s perpetually one step shy of declaring his feelings for her — and she doesn’t entirely know what her response will be. Lois usually has her answers for everything.
He steps forward. “I need to tell you something, Lois. Something I should have told you a long time ago.”
And then, moving slowly, deliberately, he takes off his glasses — and just like that, Lois Lane’s entire world tilts off its axis.

Summary
Before he could answer, she grabbed the front of his flannel and tugged-hard. Clark stumbled with a startled grunt, half tripping over a clump of hay and catching himself with one hand before landing beside her with a dull thud. Dust floated up around them like tiny flecks of gold, caught in the honeyed light pouring through the slats of the barn. His glasses slipped slightly down his nose, his hair mussed even more than usual from the fall.
or, Lois and Clark in high school.

Summary
Living with Ben was supposed to be a temporary solution. Poe’s old room was empty, Rey needed a place to go, and she was going to start looking for her own place. Eventually.
Now, nearly a year later, Rey can’t imagine living with anyone but her platonic best friend-slash-roommate, Ben Solo. Even if she can imagine doing other things. Other decidedly non-platonic things.

Summary
As the Force’s will would have it, weeks after the Battle of Crait, an illness sweeps across the newly found Resistance base, their numbers and supplies already dangerously low. Rey soon finds herself bedridden on Leia’s command as she urges her to take time away from her training and let her body rest and recover. Reluctant as she is, Rey quickly finds her recovery interrupted as she finds comfort from the one person she least expected…
(Or, in simpler terms, a fluffy Reylo sick-fic where Rey finds herself in the position she can no longer hold their bond apart and she receives a late night visit while confined to her make-shift quarantine quarters)

Summary
“What’s that on your finger?” Louis asks, his voice higher than usual, slightly panicked as though he’s realised something that Harry hasn’t even begun to comprehend.
Harry looks down on his right hand then, sees nothing and moves on to the left, and—
Oh.
A ring.
Or, Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since the band broke up when a dangerous combination of Niall Horan, tequila, and an ordained Elvis impersonator means that the two of them have to embark on their biggest publicity stunt to date - together.

Summary
There was an alpha in his kitchen.
There was an alpha in his kitchen and he was in his panties and he reeked of sweat. Oh my God, he thought, what—
Suddenly, their eyes met. A strangled sound came out of Louis’ mouth as he got caught staring, his lips still parted as he scrambled to find something, anything, to say. The alpha preceded him.
“Cazzo,” he cussed, the glass he was holding almost slipping out of his hands. He looked as surprised as Louis felt.
Summer had never quite been like this before. Yes—it was still sticky, Diletta was the same as always and Louis’ family estate in the Italian countryside hadn’t changed one bit. However, something the young omega would’ve never expected was for a handsome, Italian alpha to completely turn his life upside down—hopefully for the better.
