    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.

    Summary

    “We have a plan.” Robin says casually.

    Will straightens from the cabinet like it just shocked him. “A what?”

    “A plan,” she repeats, too casually, like they’re talking about redecorating or what to make for dinner, “A get-Will-laid-by-Mike-plan.”

    or

    Mike Wheeler has a habit of walking around Will's and his shared dorm room in nothing but a towel. A small one. Too small. And it's driving Will absolutely crazy. So when Mike and Will go over to Robin and Vickie's place one night to watch a movie. They tell Will their plan. Have Will seduce Mike, and then have him get laid by Mike.

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    Summary

    Jeonghan is a past-his-prime cellist clinging onto the fragment of a chance to return to the stage he once performed on.

    Jisoo is a prodigal violinist born into an elite family but he’s slowly losing the ability to hear.

    Jeonghan’s rough around the edges and his gruffness is faced head on with Jisoo’s sheltered upbringing - both of them are honest to a fault but in extremely different ways. In Jeonghan’s case, he acts out whenever he sees fit. For Jisoo, it’s because he’s never talked to anyone younger than the age of thirty until he was allowed to leave home to go to university.

    But when Jeonghan starts to realize that maybe Jisoo is the best thing that's ever happened to him, it's like his life purpose is being rewritten and reformed into something beyond music, something beyond the only comfort he's ever known.

    Jisoo comes flying into Jeonghan's life at a million miles per hour and plows through his life like it's nothing and honestly? Jeonghan starts to have a hard time complaining about it.

    Summary

    Jeong Yunho didn’t come to the Academy to fall in love. He came to prove he belonged. Fresh out of nowhere with a clean flight record and a head full of theory, he’s prepared to work twice as hard for half the respect. What he’s not prepared for is him...the cocky bastard with the sharp smile and the voice he still hears in his dreams.

    Their one-night stand was supposed to stay off-record. No names. No attachments. Just friction and heat and a motel room door that closed behind it.

    But now that same man is his squadmate. His rival. His biggest distraction.

    And when a classified threat pulls their unit into deep orbit, it becomes clear: the only way out of it is together.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    Summary

    A charged silence hung between them, the only sound being that of Will sketching. Mike had a tendency to fumble through moments like this, finding comfort in little quips to shift the vibe. It's expected of him, really, he can't help himself.

    Mike's suggestion this time, however, was completely unexpected. Before Mike could even decipher it, the thought had reached his lips and just tumbled out.

    "You'd look good as Luke Skywalker."

    or

    Mike asks Will to dress up as Luke Skywalker for Halloween for totally normal reasons that aren't linked to Mike's huge gay crush on Mark Hamill—or his huge gay crush on Will, but he doesn't need to know that yet.

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is a creative writing student in college, but his stories make no sense. Plotholes, foreshadowing that goes nowhere, random details that mean nothing, character moments with no payout, and unfulfilling endings. His professor suggests taking a mixed media elective to get inspiration from other kinds of stories. He chooses a comic book art class to appease his best friend, Will Byers.

    Will gets Mike through his writer’s block by helping him realize he deserves a happy ending in his own story too.
