Summary
“I love you, my cleric.” Mike says. “I love you, William, please come home.”
It’s so soft it’s devastating. Mike sounds like the rest of his life. It’s delicate, how he says it, self-assured yet bursting open at the seams in vulnerability and that's when Will realizes it.
This isn’t his Mike.
His Mike would never say that. Not ever.OR
Paladin Michael and Cleric William are iskeaied to Hawkins (and are way better at relationships than Mike and Will)

Summary
“You are pretty,” El offers shyly, glancing over the blanket at Max’s unevenly-spaced freckles, like someone splattered golden-brown paint all over her face, and it turned out just right.
Somehow, it feels different than when she called Will handsome. When she said that, she had not felt warm, like she does now. Her toes had not tingled. Her fingers had not twitched.
Maybe Max can tell her what this means.

the one where el would do anything for max, even the impossible.

Summary
Max arches a brow. “Carlton, though? You two are dating and you don’t even kiss? Is it just a preference thing?”
Will sighs, resigned. He drops his hands. “Okay. Honestly?” He hesitates, then shrugs. “He was a bad kisser. And I just… couldn’t get excited around him. At all.”
The reaction is immediate and merciless. Dustin makes a dramatic gagging noise. El gasps like she’s been handed gossip gold. Lucas high-fives Max, shaking her hand in his.
Mike doesn’t say anything. He just watches Will, watches the way he shrugs it off, the way he laughs a little too loud, the way his ears go red.
Or, Will's new boyfriend is a bad kisser. Mike thinks it's a crime that no one has kissed Will properly. He's on a goal to change that, Carlton be damned.

The Paladin and his Cleric’s Secret by dearestlovebug

Summary
A memory from Mike’s past bubbles up from the confines of the back of his mind, where he had shoved it away in an attempt to hide his secret from any prying eyes. It is a memory draped in shame, guilt, and self-hatred. It used to cling to him like weighted chains wrapped around his chest and limbs, leeching every ounce of his strength from his body and mind to keep it repressed. He had been chained to a moment he tried to erase from existence, tried with every fiber of his being to rewrite into something he could understand and allow to exist. But this memory hung around him like a towering shadow, casting him into a darkness he had to claw his way out of. A darkness that still sticks to him like wet clothes after a rainstorm, not quite chains anymore but instead a soft chill that has settled deep in his bones. A memory with a secret that sits heavy on his tongue. A secret never before spoken that is now sitting loosely against his lips, threatening to take flight at any moment. He was changed irreparably and everything he had thought he had known, about his life and himself, all changed in one single moment. In one memory. In a goodbye.
