    Summary

    “Anyways,” Mike said as he sat up, face now a lot closer to Will. Will who kept his gaze away, ignoring the intent focus from the boy beside him. “You still didn’t answer me.”

    “What?”

    In the corner of his eye, he saw Mike’s head tilt forward, his dark eyes still looking up at him. Mike hummed as he clutched onto the bunch of denim at his knees, holding him steady as he spoke,

    “Do you think I’m pretty?”

    𓂃˖ ࣪⊹

    or

    Mike decides its perfectly normal to ask Will about the awfully romantic thoughts Will tries to keep to himself.

    Summary

    “You’re wearing my sweater.”

    Mike looks up, not realising Will was home. Usually, the cat jumps at the noise of the door, but she’s still peacefully kneading biscuits onto the polka-dot blanket on Mike’s lap. Mike looks down at the pinkish jumper with white stripes on him. He shrugs.

    “It’s comfy and I’m cold.”

    Will frowns. “I’m cold, and yet I don’t go around stealing your clothes!”

    Mike scoffs indignantly. Narrowing his eyes, he shoots a light-hearted glare at his boyfriend. His arms (also covered by the soft material) cross over his chest, unfortunately startling the tortoiseshell and she jumps off, making a mad dash to their bedroom. “Yes. Yes, you do.”

    🐾👚 ☕💗☕👚🐾

    Or: After coming home from work, Will finds Mike in his jumper. Bullying insues.

    Summary

    Virginia Newby definitely was not getting paid enough for this shit. In fact, she wasn't getting paid at all. When her little sister's friend goes missing, Ginny's life gets flipped upside down — both metaphorically and literally. Truthfully, it would be easy for her to ignore the mysteries and monsters forcing their way into her life but she couldn't do that to the kids. What kind of a babysitter would that make her? No, Virginia Newby was a protector — she'd be damned if anything happened to those kids on her watch.

    Follow Ginny as she learns that some monsters are more than just fiction — and protecting her town and her loved ones may be harder than she thought.

    Summary

    Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.

    Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.

    But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.

    (Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)
