Summary
Skyler Rowan has been Violet Sorrengail's best friend ever since she was fostered by the Aetos family following her parents' demise. So when the General makes her decree, Skyler dives headfirst into the world of the Riders Quadrant. Though not afflicted with her friend's physical weaknesses, making it through the quadrant in one piece is no easy feat. Especially when you manage to piss off Xaden Riorson before even setting foot on the Parapet.

Summary
“This is about Mike,” El said, her amusement palpable.
”You could — say that,” Will said, haltingly. “I just. You’re the only one in the party who’s been on dates and stuff that aren’t with someone they’ve been seeing for years, and I need to know how to do that.”
El made a strange noise he couldn’t decipher. There was the muffled sound of someone covering the receiver, and a sound not unlike a tea kettle going off, and then El was back in his ear and saying, “I see.”
When they move into a new apartment as juniors, Will decides he has to learn to get over Mike. Going on a bunch of dates with new guys will definitely make things easier, and they’ll both be very normal about it.

Summary
“Guys, Mike’s not like me, he just can’t name characters.” They both give him a pointed look, clearly not believing a word. “I’m serious, every character is a reference to someone we know.”
“Are they now?” Dustin raises an eyebrow at him.
“Yes!” Will is perhaps a bit exasperated, “Stephen and Jay are clearly Steve and Robin, and James is Hopper,” at the blank look they give him, he clarifies, “his first name is Jim.”
This somehow only makes Lucas seem more unimpressed, “okay, but you do see how that’s more suspicious right?”
“What? That Mike can’t come up with names?”
“No,” Lucas shakes his head and clasps Will in the shoulder, “that the first name Mike thought to cannibalize when coming up with a boyfriend for you was his own”.The party grows closer after Will moves in with the Wheelers, picking up D&D again. It all goes well until Mike introduces a new character, Sir. Gabriel Whepler, whose sole purpose seems to be flirting with Will.

Summary
“Nah, man,” Lucas shakes his head, leaning back as he snacks on an apple, “he got, like, buff. Do you see his arms?”
Mike does, in fact, see Will’s arms. He has not stopped seeing his arms.
“She definitely sees his arms,” Dustin very unhelpfully points out, waggling his eyebrows, and Mike gets the overwhelming urge to bash his own head in.While volunteering at the Hawkins' help center, it seems like every girl around has a newfound interest in Will Byers, and Mike doesn't know why he feels the way he does.

Summary
In his almost 17 years being alive, Will has learned many things. Very high on that list is that there’s a fine line between “best friend” and “something more.”
Michael Wheeler uses that line like a fucking jump rope.
“You… wish I had saved just you?”
or; Mike and Will chat after the Mac-Z
