    Summary

    “So you’re saying,” says Will, “that we’d…”
    “Have sex.”
    “Right. That. Once a week, for twelve weeks. And then what?”
    “And then back to our regularly scheduled programming.” Or it’s amazing, and we keep doing it forever, Mike thinks but narrowly manages to keep to himself.

    OR: After their mentors tell them they need more life experience to improve their art, college roommates Mike and Will agree to start up a short-term friends-with-benefits situation. Also, they’re going on dates. But not like, date-dates. Artist Dates. Don’t worry about it.

    (a.k.a. Byler use The Artist’s Way as an excuse to bang)

    Summary

    Of course, that's when Will sees him. Hopper's got a thick arm wrapped around his shoulders, making him look small, despite the fact that he'd shot up three inches in their last summer together and now stood a whopping five feet and eleven inches tall. His limbs stick out at awkward angles and his trousers are slightly too short, nipping at his ankles and showing off mismatched socks. He looks away from Hopper, and—

    Mike's eyes lock with Will's.

    Mike Wheeler is somewhere in there, Will is certain. He's going to get his best friend back, and if he ends up with a little more than what he bargained for, well, who is he to complain?

    Summary

    “You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”

    “Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”

    Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.

    “Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”

    or

    Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.
