    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    Will asks Mike to go with him to New York City since Mike is struggling emotionally and doesn't know what to do post high school. He gets a job as a barista while Will gets an internship at an art studio. Struggling with their traumatic pasts, futures, gay identities, and internalized homophobia, lots of angst ensues as they discover parts of themself and build a new relationship.

    “Move to New York with me.”

    “What?”

    “Come on, rent in New York is fucking expensive, and I know you have money saved up from working at The Squack, that would give you at least a month or two to find some sort of job, and… and…” Will scratches his neck, shifting his stance a bit nervously, “and honestly, I’d rather do it with you. Move to New York I mean.” He says the last part quickly, a slight blush crossing his face.

    I've missed writing fanfic and Byler gave me a reason to.
    No time line for when I'll release chapters but I have the whole thing planned out. Please check out my ‘Who's Tammy?'’ story while I work on updates if you enjoy my writing!

    Summary

    “There’s just one thing–”
    Will’s shoulders tense, “Yeah?”
    “You said- you said you had a crush–”
    Will's heart skips. He had anticipated this, but he wasn’t expecting Mike to confront him so soon. He swallows, shifting uncomfortably on the couch. “Yeah. I did.”
    “Cool. Cool, right.. So.. you don’t- you don’t like him anymore?”
    “Does it matter?”
    “Yes!” Mike says a little too quickly, a little too loud. "Yes, it matters. It matters to me.”
