    Summary

    “Have you,” Mike starts, but his voice breaks halfway through. He swallows hard, loud enough for Will to hear, and then he tries again. “Have you seen the news?”

    Will's heart lurches, and he can feel how his shoulders slump. Of course he’s seen it.

    It’s everywhere, on every channel, every headline. Every glowing marquee in the city. People crying in the streets, strangers kissing, rainbow flags hanging from fire escapes. New York is alive tonight in a way it’s never been before. He's been staring out his window, a little in fear, and a little in a kind of freedom that he's never gotten before.

    “Yeah,” Will whispers. “I saw.”

     

    or, YAY!!! Gay marriage is now legal in the place they grew up. Mike calls Will the second he hears, and they reconnect.

    Summary

    With the Wheelers and the Byers living together, the only form of alone time Mike gets with Will is in the kitchen late one night.

    But after their shared kiss, Mike overthinks and over analyses every aspect of it. So much so that he falls asleep in the basement, holding a certain binder in his arms.

    Summary

    For the first time, being wanted back doesn’t feel like a fantasy he's invented to torture himself. Someone will want him; that much is practically a given. The realization has crept up on him slowly over the past few months, in subtle glances from strangers and knowing smiles from other omegas in the hall.

    He is, apparently, desirable.

    But, if that’s true, and it's not ridiculous to imagine someone actually wanting him, then why has he been acting like his only option is to sit around and hope Mike trips over the realization himself?

    Mike is many wonderful things, after all, but observant is not one of them.

    After he presents, Will decides he’s done waiting for Mike to figure things out on his own. It’s time to take matters into his own hands, for once.

    Summary

    Something has gone terribly wrong. Without realizing it, Mike has slipped into a dark and horrifying pit, one that Karen is all too familiar with. This happens to boys sometimes; it’s been that way since Biblical times. Thankfully, it can be cured, and Karen loves her son too much not to help him. Unfortunately, the temptations are strong, so there’s a long road ahead. Karen constantly asks herself where she went wrong, and the answer is clear - it’s that damn Byers kid.

    A look at Karen Wheeler and her relationships with her son and the Byers family throughout the years.

    Summary

    “Does it need to be like ceramics last semester? Do I need to drop you off and pick you up at the door again like a fucking preschooler?” Will shakes his head as best as he can, a whimper escaping from his lips. Mike grips his jaw tighter. “Speak.”

    “N-no, Mike.” Yes, actually, Will wants to say. He liked it when Mike did that last semester, walking him to and from class like Will’s big, scary guard dog. Sometimes, if Will was lucky, Mike would wait in the hallway during his class, clutching some mass market paperback, spine cracked and curled in on itself. Even big, scary guard dogs have owners, Will would think as Mike stayed put for him.

    In which someone asks for Will’s number and it makes Mike murderously angry.
