Summary
Mike takes a step back, lifts his arms and stretches his long torso to take off his shirt. It’s an old The Cure t-shirt that doesn’t fit Will anymore quite right, but Mike is wearing it all the same. It stops at his belly button, two balls of glinting silver adorns the pinch of his stomach.
Cream skin, the tease of a few freckles dotting their way into Mike’s complexion. The twin metal balls; his handsome bellybutton red and irritated from the intrusion.
Will swallows dry, a jittery giggle pushing its way from his throat. He must be so stupidly and uncontrollably obvious. But if Mike can see the way he eyes his stomach down, he says nothing.
A string of memories in one last scorching summer in Hawkins, Indiana, connected by a hidden lake, and a belly button piercing. You wouldn’t think they’d have any correlation, until they do.

Summary
A scream rang out into the sky like fireworks. It was a scream no one should ever have to hear. The sound of someone's world crashing, the sound of their heart breaking into two, the sound of a piece of them dying.
Miles exhausted his vocal cords. He felt a tsunami of motions hitting him in the face but he couldn’t feel anything at all. Ears ringing, the last thing he remembered before his eyes were covered by Gwens white gloved fingers was the sight of his dad’s cracked open skull stained on concrete and rubble.
Miles was too late, his dad was dead.
Or
Miles' life is split in two when he looses his dad after just recovering from the loss of his uncle a year earlier. He has to figure out how to grieve, save people, juggle his dangerous crush, and Miguel's consistent apologies.

Summary
“Why do you laugh?” Mike the Brave asked. The question was utterly sincere. He could not fathom the source of the mockery, of why Mike would be laughing at his display of fealty.
Mike spluttered, his face flushing. “I—It’s just… you only got him a book off the shelf? That’s your big ‘honour to serve’ moment? It’s just… a book.” He gestured vaguely, defensively, at the book, embarrassed.
Will the Wise’s lips curved into a smile tinged with sorrow. He looked from the flustered boy to his own beloved protector, his hand reaching up to stroke his Paladin’s cheek.
“He has crossed realms for me,” Will the Wise said, his melodic voice filling the cottage. “He has faced beasts and shadows and the silence of the abyss. He would do anything for me, and I for him. The grand quests are written in songs and psalms, sung by revellers around fires and bards in the inn. But the story of us… it is written in these small things. In a fetched book, a mended cloak, a tender kiss in the dawn light.” He looked directly at the younger Mike, his gaze piercingly kind. “We like to remind each other of our affections. In every possible way. There is no deed too small to be an act of love.”

Summary
“Why are you touching him? You don’t own him.”
Will dropped his head into his hands. “Mike, oh my god—”
Paladin Mike’s jaw tightened. “I do not own him,” he said immediately. “He is—” He stopped, swallowing. His eyes went back to Will softening, and that softness made Mike hate him even more. He could recognize the look, and saw it mirrored in his own eyes countless times.
[...]
“He is the Light. By your oath, I am bound to him. My liege.” He bowed his head slightly toward Will, his mouth wrapped around the word like it was a prayer. “My cleric.” He said after, softer.
“Oh my god.” Will flushed, impossibly. “That is crazy. He is actually crazy."
Max, who had been standing with her arms crossed behind them, muttered, “Jesus Christ,” under her breath.
Mike Wheeler is going to explode, because there is an alternate, armoured version of him, following Will Byers around like he belonged to him.

Summary
“Hi,” Mike called out faintly, without moving.
“Jesus.” Will’s voice was relieved. His footsteps drew closer. “Why didn’t you bring your walkie? Everyone’s been—oh.” He was beside him now, silhouetted in the moonlight. “Mike.”
“Hm?” Mike closed his eyes. He knew the face Will was making right now without having to actually see it—eyes wide, lips parted. Worried.
Will knelt beside him in the leaves. “When’s the last time you fed?”
“I don’t…” Mike cracked an eye open. Will was too pretty to lie to. “Yesterday afternoon, I think.”
“Okay,” Will said. His voice was tight. “It’s gonna be okay.”
A few moments passed. Will put the back of his hand to Mike’s forehead, and Mike leaned into the touch. This wasn’t so bad, really. He was weak, and everything ached, but at least Will was here.
“Hey,” Will said, breaking the silence. “Feed from me.”

Summary
“He really does look like Mike,” Lucas breathes, as he gives Mike’s twin a scan, head to toe.
“Yeah, if Mike were way hotter and a knight?” Max chips in, and Will can vaguely hear Mike muttering again. “He looks so medieval, like he’s from Camelot or some shit.”
“I am Michael,” the knight begins to plead again. He turns his doe eyes back to Will, returning to his side like a diligent guard, even going as far as to reach out and take his hands. “Please, you have to believe me. I would never lie to you. Have I ever broken our oath? Let me prove it.”
Will was a bit preoccupied with gazing into the knight’s eyes, his cheeks flushing under the intense stare and the way his hands were held so gently. Mike had no issues ruining their moment.
“And he’s weirdly obsessed with Will.” Mike sounds even angrier than he did in the woods, and his sharp tone is enough for Will to snap out of his hand-holding to step a respectable distance away from the knight. “We need to send him back to wherever he came from.”
or
Mike the Brave ends up in Hawkins and sweeps Will off his feet. Mike has a lot of Feelings™ about it.

Summary
“That’s not my favorite.”
“Oh.” Will blinks. “What is?”
Mike’s tongue darts out to wet his lower lip. “O negative.” Will feels a flush move across his entire body. His magic hums inside of him, excited. His fingers twitch against the carton. Maybe Will was wrong, maybe this is different than having a favorite kind of pizza. More personal. O negative sits differently in Will’s head than double black olives with extra cheese does. More intimate.
“Oh.” Will blinks again. And maybe O negative sits differently in Will’s head, because it also flows through his veins. He feels obligated to tell Mike. “I’m O negative.”
Mike’s pupils widen again. “I know.” His voice is low, gravelly.
Will’s breath hitches again. “You know?” He flinches when Mike’s fingers graze his, peeling the carton out of Will’s hand.
Mike takes a deep breath. “I can smell it.”
Or, five times that Will offered Mike his blood and the one time that Mike accepted.
