Summary
“What?”, Will huffs, shaking his head in disbelief. “You know blue does not only equate sadness, right? It is one of the blatantly obvious meanings, sure, but it can also imply tranquility, loyalty, trust, peace, and—"
Shut up, shut up, shut up, the voice in his head screams by now, but one cannot interrupt Will in the middle of one of his art rants. Impossible. No chance. “And with the vastness of the sky or sea, blue is also often associated with distance, longing, yearning, and— stuff.”
“Distance”, Mike echoes, and only then does Will truly understand what he has just admitted into the air freely, completely unprovoked and voluntarily. “Longing. Yearning.”
Obviously, this is the exact moment Robert Smith decides to sing about the fact that it is Friday, and that he is very much in love.
Five times Mike distracts Will from his art assignments with his stupidly flirtatious ways, and one time Will actually needs his help to complete a coursework.

Summary
Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.
So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer.
“Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”
Will felt his breath stop.
“…I think he’d want to know.”
OR: Yet another buzzy post vol 1 fic where Will grows more confident, Mike short-circuits over it, and they save the world together !!
**Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

“ And then there was Tammy.
Not a guy.
Not a real person.

Tammy wasn’t someone he didn’t know.
Tammy was him.”or
Mikes believes Tammy is the boy Will likes.

Summary
Jonathan would never hear the end of it if Will found out what he’s doing, so he needs to be subtle. Just enough to get Mike to treat him better. Just enough to redirect things.
He settles on a stern, “Mike, I think we need to have a talk.”

Summary
Will's never been in a situation worse than this. How's he going to spend the next few months with Steve Harrington, resident douchebag of Hawkins?
Mike's never been in a situation more infuriating than this. How's he going to spend the next few months alongside Robin Buckley without strangling her?
Robin has never seen two teenagers more head-over-heels for each other than Mike and Will. Can they just get their heads out of the sand already?
Steve has never been more nervous around a teenage boy. Something about Will makes him feel guilty.
(Or; In the oncoming apocalypse, Mike and Will are forcibly 'buddied up' with Robin and Steve. It gets worse before it gets better.)

Summary
“You should go back to sleep”, Mike mutters, but Will’s eyes are already flying over his face, and he is probably taking in the embarrassing number of tears, and the sweaty hair sticking onto his forehead and—
“You’re bleeding”, Will whispers, and then, as if the realization strikes just now as he says it out loud, his voice increases in volume, but shakes harder all the more, “Mike, there’s— there’s blood pouring from your mouth.”
Mike would have been perfectly content with never exploring the depth of his repressed feelings, if it wasn't for the deadly flowers blooming in his lungs.

Summary
“I mean, obviously, I’m a racing driver, and I’m fortunate enough to do something I enjoy as my job, but I like to do other things too, to take my mind off the more negative parts of the sport.”
Lando is reading off of a script for an obligatory Mental Health Day video that they’re pre-recording, but he still catches Oscar off guard.
“Golf and playing games with my friends is always fun too, but when I’m alone, I do a bit of art,” he says, and Oscar is so thankful for his Formula 1-trained neck because his head would’ve fallen right off his shoulders from how fast he turned to stare at him.
“You what?”
Or: their hobbies are much more aligned than either of them would've thought.

Summary
“It’s really okay,” the guy says once they’re in front of the sink, while Lando’s figuring out what the fuck he should be doing with the shirt. The stain is in an odd position, right in the middle of the guy’s chest.
“Um, I. Didn’t think this through,” Lando admits.
That earns a small chuckle from the other guy. “It’s okay,” he says, again, and proceeds to pull off his shirt.
Um. Not okay. Because. Guy’s sort of ripped, exactly in the way Lando likes it. Not too muscular, but lean muscle, strong arms that could probably lift him up and —
“See something you like?”
—
Lando’s not really looking for anything when he spills his beer on another guy. Too bad the universe has something else to say about it.

Summary
Lando knows his mom is worried about him, being a F1 driver, constantly being in danger while chasing the sweet adrenaline they call racing but nothing comes close to her biggest concern: him being single. So the only logical thing Lando can do is lie. This whole thing would have been so much easier if Oscar didn't love being his pretend boyfriend so much.

Summary
Zak’s voice cuts through Lando’s trance. “We’re telling you boys this now, a month in advance, so that you can adjust your plans accordingly. The team thinks that it would be…beneficial, for you two to spend a week of your summer break together,” he finishes, and Lando hears Oscar immediately release a heavy sigh of irritation from next to him.
“What?” Lando asks, incredulous. “Why would we—huh?”
“For team building,” Andrea pipes up from Zak’s side, one of the few sentences of the morning that he’s spoken.
“Team building,” Oscars mutters, distaste clearly laced in his voice.
or; McLaren are worried that Lando and Oscar will start to hate each other after spending the year fighting for the championship, so the team forces them to go on vacation together during summer break.

Summary
In which Lando stumbles across an article claiming that sex before a race boosts performance—and, in the name of science (and maybe desperation), ropes Oscar into trying it.
It works. Too well.
What starts as a pre-race ritual turns into something they can’t stop needing, even when the helmets come off and the emotions start creeping in.
They’re winning races, breaking records, and maybe breaking each other in the process.

Summary
Oscar Piastri has a crush, and it is a big problem. When he decided to race for McLaren, he never thought that the F1 Golden Boy Lando Norris would give him the time of day. Fine by him; there was little that interested him anyway. They were too different. Except that when Oscar catches himself laughing at his teammate’s stupid jokes, completely incapable of driving his eyes away, he knows he fucked up. If Lando starts to look back… It shouldn’t matter. And when Norris crashes onto the ground, Oscar shouldn’t be the one to put his main rival back together.
Lando Norris has one goal for the 2024 season: to win as many races as possible. After years driving for McLaren, the car is finally good enough to put him in the fight. Then, he met Piastri for the first time that year. There, staring at him, is a problem. Lando did not remember Oscar looking like that. But the season is already underway, and there is nothing to be done about that. Between a fight for a championship with a friend, the press picking him apart, and bittersweet moments, Norris does not have the time to deal with whatever is going on with Piastri. Except he can’t find it in himself to let go, not even when they’re both competing for the same title.
