    Summary

    “You won’t be going back to the laundrette.”

    ━━━━━━━━━━

    In 1950s Boston, undercover detective Will Byers is sent to take down notorious mob boss Mike Wheeler.

    Instead, Mike hires him.

    Now Will is trapped playing loyal secretary to the man he’s supposed to destroy, lying through his teeth and getting much closer than he ever planned.

    Mike watches him closely. Too closely.

    It would be easier if Mike were only dangerous.

    But it’s only the storefronts that are fake.

    Summary

    When he squeezed his eyes shut tighter, he saw not the shadow, but Mike's hand reaching toward him in the lodge earlier that day. The way his thumb had brushed Will's cheekbone.

    The hunger in that touch disguised as benevolence.

    When sleep finally took him, it wasn't rest. It was a drowning. And beneath his bunk, the shadow pooled thick as oil, waiting to swallow him whole.

    After his father catches him doing something he shouldn’t, Will is sent away to a Christian summer camp to be “fixed.”

    Summary

    Mike Wheeler is a journalism student with a part-time job at the Daily Bugle and a growing obsession with New York’s newest hero: Spider-Man.

    Will Byers is just trying to get through college, pay rent, and also happens to be the one swinging across the skyline at night.

    They meet at a party. They become friends. It would be simpler for everyone involved if it stayed that way.
    But Mike keeps searching for Spider-Man, and Will keeps hiding in plain sight - caught somewhere between wanting to be seen and being terrified of what happens if he is.

    And when something in the city starts to break, something strong enough to tear it apart, Will has to wonder if being Spider-Man is going to cost him everything.

    Or: two idiots, one secret identity, and absolutely no communication skills.

    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.
