Summary
Mike remembers that one Saturday when they were nine, when he had biked to the Byers house for a sleepover, only to find Will bruised and bleeding after an encounter with Lonnie. How Joyce was a mess as she tended to Will’s wounds, telling her son how brave he was for not even shedding a tear. But Mike could see how hard Will was trying not to flinch every time she touched him, how hard he was clutching his hands to stop them from trembling. And later that night, when they were curled up in Will’s bed, Will had sobbed into Mike’s chest as Mike held on to him, promising that he’d always keep Will safe.
Mike confronts his feelings for Will with a series of memories.

Summary
The very first colour Draco saw was green.
Of course, he didn’t know then and there that Harry Potter’s eyes were a brilliant hue of emerald, having only seen the world in shades of grey up until the moment he turned to see a skinny boy with the roundest glasses he’d ever stumbled across staring straight at him with eyes that were definitely not grey and—
Oh.
Oh!
aka, a Soulmate AU where you see the world in black and white until you first lay eyes on your soulmate.

Summary
“Wait,” Junho starts, eyes wide, “you’re not seriously suggesting Professor Hwang's…jealous?”
Saebyok leans back and crosses her arms. “Are you saying it’s impossible?”
Junho gapes at her for a moment, wondering if he had misunderstood this whole conversation. When Saebyok only raises an eyebrow in response, he splutters, “My brother’s not g—“ He lowers his voice as a ghost floats past their table, “—Professor Hwang isn’t gay!”
The Gryffindor narrows her eyes, clearly unimpressed.
“I mean,” Junho says quickly, "I wouldn’t have a problem with it if he is, but I would know by now if he were!”
The silence that follows is damning, and Junho wishes he could somehow Obliviate the whole lot of them without getting into trouble. “He’s only ever dated women,” he adds weakly.
(aka, the hp au where Junho finds out his brother is madly in love with Gihun and decides to help him out a bit)

Summary
Truth is, although he’s stopped showing himself to Zagreus, Thanatos is never actually far. Every time Zagreus does another escape run, Thanatos is still keeping an eye on his progress, even as he’s completing his duties. It’s how he’s always known when to jump in when Zagreus needed him the most. And it’s also how he’s sure Zagreus was experienced enough to do these attempts without his assistance nowadays.
Which is why it left him baffled to see how poorly Zagreus’ escapes have been recently.
or: the one where Thanatos needs to learn how to communicate and Zagreus just wants attention.

Summary
“So what else is there?”
“What?”
Mike paused and shifted uncomfortably, like his legs were falling asleep or something. He squeezed at his own calf. “That guys do, that makes them gay.”
“I—hah—I don’t know, Mike, like, suck each other off? Probably?” Fall in love, he avoided saying.
“Do you wanna do that?”
Will raised his brows. “To each other?”

Summary
“Okay—gun to your head, you’ve got to kiss someone in this room. Who would it be?”
“Dude, what?”
“Seriously! I’m about to shoot, homeboy, this is your last chance!”
Will furrowed his brows. He shrugged.
“Mike,” he said confidently.
There was a beat of silence.

Summary
His hand is steadily aching. Will says, “You shouldn’t have punched him.”
Mike pushes his fingers into his thighs. “That’s stupid.”
“I wish you didn’t,” Will readjusts. He brings up a hand to hold Mike’s face again, fingers a little damp where they press against his cheek, his jaw. Mike wants to lean into it. “He isn’t – he doesn’t bother me anymore, you know. What he says. It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t matter.”
Mike shrugs. “I don’t regret it,” he says, and Will leans away, looks at him properly. “I’d do it again.”
Mike gets hurt, and Will fixes him up, in more ways than one.
