Summary
Lucy Sánchez inherits her late grandfather's farm and dedicates herself to tending the crops and learning how to navigate her land. Her dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter drive her on, and while exploring her newfound life in the small town, she meets a group of friends her age: Sam, Sebastian, and Abigail.
Quickly forming a connection with Sam, she agrees to take on the role of lead singer in their band. After being signed to their label, their management proposes an idea to boost the band's exposure. They plan to create the illusion of fake relationships between the four members. Lucy and Sam, Sebastian and Abigail.
Although Lucy eventually gets into a real but complicated relationship with Sam, unexpected feelings develop between her and Sebastian. And when fans begin to catch on to the hints of a fake relationship scheme, they run with it, incessantly shipping Lucy and Sebastian, further blurring the lines between fact and fiction.
But the ultimate question is, does Lucy want to live a life on stage or on the farm?
Slow updates, but not an abandoned work!

Summary
Now that Will’s sitting and Mike’s the one that’s standing, he looks impossibly tall. Tall and lanky, and huge. He should sit back down, Will thinks, lay back down next to Will and stay in their own secluded little bubble.
“I really want to kiss you,” Mike says, and Will’s eyes snap back up to his so violently he thinks he hears his own neck crack with the force of it.
“Don’t,” Will croaks, before his brain has even processed the words. “Don’t say that.”
“Okay,” Mike says easily, still staring. And what the actual fuck is going on? Is Will hallucinating? Is the weed making him hallucinate? “So sausage and pepperoni?”
Will stares dumbly at him. “Um - yeah. Yes.”
“Cool,” Mike replies and then just turns around and leaves Will sitting dumbly in his own room.

Summary
Mike dares Will to play a game of chicken with him.
Will, like most things, goes along with it.
---“Chicken,” he said finally.
Will blinked. “Chicken?” He frowned, trying to picture it. “Isn’t that the one where you get up on someone’s shoulders and try to knock the other person off?” The image flashed so suddenly and absurdly that a laugh almost escaped him. He caught it halfway, feeling stupid.
Mike shook his head quickly. His pale cheeks flushed, covering his freckles in a faint pink like he was embarrassed, or maybe warm. Will told himself it was probably just the basement lighting. Or the heat.
“No,” Mike said. “Like… the other game.” He rubbed his thumb against the edge of the blanket, not looking at Will now. “The one where you dare each other to do stuff. And you have to keep going until someone backs out.” He swallowed. “Chicken.”

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?”

Summary
“I need you.”
Will’s expression grows more stunned. “What?” he breathes, voice barely above a whisper.
His instincts tell him to take it all back, but the way that Will’s looking at him with those sorrowful, questioning eyes weakens him. And he’s been stupid for many, many years, so what’s a little more stupidity?
aka a s5 speculatory mike wheeler-centric fic about his internalised homophobia and a lot of moments where he's not so clever about his feelings with will
