    Summary

    With no name and no future, Will Byers takes a job at the isolated Wheeler Manor, hired to tutor the family’s youngest daughter. He expects a quiet life in a house of stone and silver—completely oblivious to the fact that his education isn't the reason he was brought there.

    But the North Wing is breathing.

    There is a secret behind the door, something the family has kept starving for a century. Will was told to stay away from it, but in the dead of night, the house begins to whisper. And Will is the only one who knows how to listen.

    I am SO into this horror vibe. 😱 The characters could have been named Ben and Jared and I would still be into this.

    Summary

    “You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”

    “It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

    —

    Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

    Read because:

    1. Mason. So cute. So so cute.
    2. You don’t understand. He’s like, the best kid ever! And his adopted parents are so in love with him.
    3. Family dynamics. So mundane, so domestic, so… alive.
    4. Mike is kinda awesome? Goofy awesome but still awesome? Father of the year.

    Summary

    Mike stands a few feet away, shoulders squared, eyes locked on him with an intensity that makes Will’s breath catch. He looks nothing like the easy, grinning version he knows. This Mike is coiled tight, attention sharpened to a point, his presence radiating outward in a way that makes people instinctively give ground. For one wild second Will considers pretending he didn’t notice. He considers staying exactly where he is, letting the moment stand.

    The loud growl answers that thought before he can act on it, and he feels it blaring in his ears despite the loud music. It’s low, controlled, furious in a way that doesn’t need volume.

    The alpha in front of him freezes.

    Summary

    “I bet this cost an arm and a leg.”

    “Yeah, it did.” Kenma sighs wistfully, and a cocky smile plays at the edges of his lips like he’s proud of the fact that he's shelling out so that Kuroo looks paid for. It makes Kuroo want to give him whatever he wants whenever he wants it. The moon? Deal. The crown jewels? Absolutely. Kuroo’s still beating and bloody heart in the palm of his hand? Done.

    “And you don’t mind? Spending this kind of money on me?”

    “I just like getting you nice things,” Kenma replies, his voice is quiet, almost like he’s talking to himself, “Is that so bad?”

    AU where Kuroo and Kenma have never met before... but then, sometimes all it takes is one glance. (And some encouragement from friends... and a few games of Smash... and half an inexpertly prepared drink from Lev.)

    Read this like, 4 times. I love how Kenma can tell that Kuroo just radiates goodness. (In every way) ❤️
