Summary
The world is a beautiful, powerful, terrifying beast. Mike never fails to feel in awe when he sees proof of just how giant and formidable it’s capable of being, and in moments like these, he savors feeling comparatively small, miniscule in the face of everything else.
So many things feel so unimportant when staring down a natural monster.

Summary
“It’s not my fault that it took me so long to figure myself out,” Mike says thickly, no longer angry, instead just barely holding back tears as he repeats the sentiment that Debbie has spent so long trying to get him to believe. He’s not sure why this is the thing pushing him towards accepting it as truth, but he means it when he says it—means it, too, when he continues with, “It’s not my fault that it was hard for me to understand how I felt. It’s not my fault that I didn’t realize what it was until after you moved on. That’s not—that’s not my fault, Will.”
mike's queer journey happens a little later than will's. that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. or: 4 of mike wheeler's birthdays and the ways things change.

Summary
“I feel crazy,” Michelle murmurs, nosing along the column of Willow’s throat, sending a shiver down her spine. “You make me feel crazy. Do you feel that? Is it just me?”
Maybe Willow should err on the side of caution, on the side of logic—but it’s been two months and her obsession with Michelle has been a steadily growing monster, a festering desire and need that has made her dizzy, made her mind drift along to dirty places in the middle of her shifts. She has drawn Michelle over and over already and wants to feel the skin that she keep sketching onto her pages, wants to hear her, to see her, to experience whatever she’s willing to give.
It does make her feel crazy. It seems far too soon to feel so infatuated with her. Yet, she is.
She ducks her head, seeks out Michelle’s mouth again, hands guiding her face away from her neck and back up to kiss her stupid, and in between each biting kiss, she says, “It is crazy. I feel it, too. I haven’t stopped wanting you ever since I first saw you.”

Summary
A familiar laugh comes from his right—that recognizable, twinkle-light chuckle that airs towards a giggle when it's late, sometimes more low and husky in the mornings, a sound that Mike craves like water. He whips his head over to see Will approaching the table, his head tilted to the side and his smile lopsided, gentle. Jane is trailing after him, headphones over her ears and looking towards the lunch line, but Mike only has eyes for Will, who glances down at Babygirl Flour and smiles wider as he sits on Mike's left side. "You got your fake baby?"
"My very real baby, thank you," Mike corrects quickly, already grinning as he meets Will's gaze. "And Max's, but she doesn't even want to give our baby a name, so she's barely a parent."
Like the devil, summoned by her name, Max reappears with a lunch tray in hand, plopping down across from Mike with an annoyed look. "It's a bag of flour, Mike," she gripes at him. "Just because you're willing to get attached to the stupid thing doesn't mean that I am."
madwheeler get assigned a flour baby to watch over for two weeks. somehow, this results in both of them getting kissed by the people that they’ve been pining for.

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Summary
He looks, looks, really looks, seeing him for the first time — taking in the shape of Mike as he kneels before him, still bowed, still holding his hands with a care that is liturgical, Will himself becoming something consecrated in his grasp: fragile, yes, and breakable, and scary and scared, but worthy of being held, worthy of being kept, worthy of not being abandoned even if all else should fall away.
And the sight of it moves through Will’s chest both piercing and holy, with an ache that blooms wide: some hidden chamber within him has suddenly been opened; a quiet prayer he never dared to speak has, somehow, been answered.Or: before the final fight, Will tries to pray. Mike finds him.

Summary
“If I wouldn't like it. Don’t people say try it before you say you don’t like it?” Mike looks at him again; his eyebrows raised with a small grin on his face.
“Um… Yeah, I guess. Where is this coming from?” Will asks, turning his body to fully face Mike.
He shrugs.
“Just been thinking about it.”
“About kissing guys?” Will fires the question quickly, wanting to get to the bottom of this.
“No.”
Will tilts his head.
“Okay, then what were you thinking about?” Will laughs dryly, Mike pulling his lips into his mouth.
“Well… about trying it, but not like… guys.” Mikes face starts to flush.
“Okay, then what? A specific guy?” Will laughs, letting one leg stretch over the couch cushions, his other still held to his chest.
“You could say that.” Mike whispers, his eyes darting over Will’s face.

Mike becomes extremely affectionate with Will out of nowhere aka domestic Mike and Will.

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.
