    Summary

    “You prayed?”

     

    Mike sniffled, chuckling as he said, “Yeah, don’t look so surprised. You saw me.”

     

    I saw you?

     

    “At the altar this morning,” Mike finished, unaware he had answered Will’s inner question. “And I just… I couldn’t find a reason that God would put this in my life and not want me to have it. I feel like.. I’m closer to Him in being closer to you, because… I don’t know Will, it’s just a feeling. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’ve been praying on it so much and it.. This doesn’t feel like a sin, Will. I swear, it doesn’t. It did before. Before I prayed and I saw you, laying in the grass with me that Sunday and I just felt so seen by you, and it scared me. I was so terrified, Will, I thought that fear was going to kill me. But, knowing you, seeing all those things in you that I’ve wanted so much for myself… things that I have now, because I’ve known you… I’ve never felt like that. How could God not want that for us?"

    Summary

    ***

    He’d be lying if he said he had caught many names, but one was sure to stick out in his mind for the rest of the semester. When the name Will Byers fell from the students lips, it almost felt too perfect. Short, unassuming, and yet it was now burned into his memory like a steel brand.

    Mike finds himself enjoying the company of one of his students far more than the school policy allows. Indulging would mean betraying his wife and possibly losing his job, but he can't seem to shake these new feelings. However, those green eyes and that cute smile are certainly not making things any easier.

    Summary

    “In 1912, the U.S. federal government started licensing terrestrial radio stations, assigning the call letters W and K to stations in the east, respectively.”

    “By international treaty, each country has a specific letter at the beginning of each broadcast station call sign. In the United States, it's either a "W" or a "K." "The general process, although there are a few early exceptions, is that 'W' is east of the Mississippi and the 'K' is west of the Mississippi."

    Summary

    "What's your favorite color?" Will asked earnestly. "You never say in any of your interviews. I'm curious."

    There was a pause.

    Then a small hitch of breath, and Mike said, "what color are your eyes?"

    Will blinked. "Ah, um - hazel. They're hazel."

    Mike let out a small huff of amusement mixed with something else. "Then hazel."

    "Oh," Will squeaked.

    "Yeah," Mike said nervously. "Oh."

    ***

    Will's read enough fanfics to know that becoming Y/N was like asking Hopper to stop smoking so much, or begging El to stop buying skincare. Impossible.

    Well... improbable, actually. As it turns out.

    Long haul Fix-it fic that is both plot and character driven

    Canon compliant except the graduation/prologue scene in the show never happened, so you could watch seasons one to five and this would still more or less make sense as a sequel to it
