Summary
The students lean forward as one. No pens move. No pages turn.
“Writing,” Mike continues, “is what happens when the things you couldn’t say start demanding a form.”
Will’s jaw tightens.
“You don’t write because you’re imaginative, no,” Mike says. “You write because not writing becomes unbearable. Because there’s a version of you that never got to speak—and the page is the only place where it still might.”or
Mike is invited to attend a seminar at the very same college where Will teaches. It has been years since they last spoke. Also, Walt Whitman haunts the narrative.

Summary
“I can stay,” you decide. Bloody knuckles never been so soft, now leaning a question against your wrist. You turn your palm upside and there you feel the perfect slot of his fingers between yours: it’s a shape you can hold without dropping. You’re the red on his hands, but not the blood.

Post S4. Of discovering and grief.

too much heaven on their minds (I don't know how to love him) by ABirdInFlight

Summary
Aziraphale, Principality, Angel of the Eastern Gate, and newly appointed Supreme Archangel of Heaven, knows when he leaves Crowley behind that he is making a mistake. He also knows it may be the only way to stop The Second Coming from, well, coming. With a bigger war on the horizon, this time for all the marbles, Aziraphale takes matters into his own hands. Meanwhile Crowley, devastated and heartbroken, only wants to sleep the pain away. But when an old colleague comes knocking, he may not have that choice. The world is ending again, and stopping it just might depend on an angel and a demon finally learning how to talk about their feelings.
My take on a hypothetical season Good Omens season three, featuring some light blasphemy, Biblical homoeroticism, and the world's most elaborate parent trap. No AI was used in the creation of this fic. You can pry my beloved em dash from cold, dead hands.

Summary
All at once, he was an angel, shy and soft and ready. Completely Mike’s. Mike couldn’t believe they were doing this – that Will was letting him do this. It was the best of dreams.
Mike and Will had a tradition. When they did something for the first time, they did it together. Firsts were their thing. Mike takes this very, very seriously.

Summary
“So… you’ll show me around the bar too? We’ll be colleagues?”
Will remains suspended for a heartbeat, his eyes wide with a fleeting, stunned clarity. Then, a sheepish, airy laugh breaks through his surprise.
“Oh! No, Mike. I’m not behind the bar.”
A subtle tilt of his head draws Mike’s eye toward the stage. Will catches his bottom lip between his teeth, a nervous habit that betrays the sudden spike in the room’s electricity.
“I’m a dancer here.”
Oh.
~
Or: Mike Wheeler finds a job as a bartender at a Burlesque Club in NYC and discovers that his childhood best friend / crush of a lifetime is a dancer. Will he survive seeing Will Byers stripping and dancing on stage every night? Will he be able to win him over, while also trying not to make a fool out of himself?

Summary
“I don't know. I've never felt the instinct to… uh…”
“Jerk off,” Mike suggests.
Will winces. “Between Vecna, everything that happened to me in Upside Down... I suppose things like this affect every aspect of your life. So I've never found it particularly… er, appealing.”
Mike finds it almost natural to smile at that choice of words. To make Will feel less out of place, he shifts even closer. His knee grazes Will's chair. Will flinches.
“But you tried,” Mike deduces, slowly.
Will insists on keeping his gaze down. “Yeah.”
“‘Cause you…” Mike follows the contours of Will's jaw with his eyes; if he can’t see it on his face, he hopes to catch a reaction from the rest of his body. “Because you want to.”Or: Will is having a tough time coping with college anxiety which results in constantly snapping at Mike. Mike offers a best-friendly helping hand.
