    Summary

    “So he is just… in my life,” Mike said with disgust as he noticed how pathetic the weight on his chest felt. “In my house. Using my face. With Will.”
    The cleric’s expression tightened. “Your friend.”
    “My best friend,” Mike corrected too sharply. The moment the words left him, the flare of jealousy turned into embarrassment. He couldn’t remember when he grew to hate how he sounded when the subject was Will.
    William’s gaze held steady. “Do you not want him there because you fear for your friend, or because you fear what your friend might feel?”
    Mike’s mouth opened, then closed. The question hit too close to the thing he’d been circling for years without touching.

    OR: Mike wakes up in a paladin’s body, face-to-face with a cleric who looks exactly like Will, except this Will speaks in oaths and shows him a kind of affection he doesn’t feel he deserves.

    Back home, someone else is wearing Mike’s skin, saying the things Mike has never dared to say out loud.

    Summary

    “You want us to foster a kid?” Mike finally asks, disbelieving. Will is half convinced that El will laugh in their faces, clearing up the misunderstanding with a, “No, silly. I want you to water my plants.”

    “It doesn’t have to be forever,” El says. “Just until I can find another home for him. I can’t stand him living in the shelter anymore. Not right now. He needs emotional support. And don’t lie to me— I know you two have been wanting kids. This can be a trial run.”

    Will and Mike are tasked with fostering an emotionally distant, judgmental, sassy twelve-year-old boy from El’s shelter. As hard as they try to win his heart, they seem to be making no progress. After all, how could two strangers earn the trust of a boy who’s been hurt time and time again?

    Summary

    “Michael?” She greets him, holding out a hand.

    He shakes her hand, not meeting her eyes. She studies him, trying to get a firmer foothold. There are lots and lots of tired lines etched in his face. His glasses obscure his eyes for the most part, but she thinks she sees something injured in them. Something pained.

    Not unusual for a therapist’s office.

    OR

    55 year old Mike Wheeler goes to therapy. He has a lot to talk about.

    Summary

    “So walk me through the plan again?”

    Max huffed, lifting herself up to sit on the kitchen counter next to where Will was brewing a pot of coffee. “Seriously? We’ve been through this about a dozen times already.”

    “I know, I know! It’s just—I don’t know, I’m feeling a little nervous about it.” Will anxiously tapped his fingers on the countertop, staring at the slow drip of the coffee. “I don’t love the idea of lying to Mike–what if he completely freaks out?”

    “Isn’t that kind of the point?”

    --------

    Max & Lucas devise a plan to make Mike jealous by pretending to be in a polyamorous throuple with Will when Mike comes to visit over Spring Break.
