Summary
Summer, 1989. The Party has been trying to adjust to normalcy after the final battle. Mike's no stranger to trauma, but the wounds he's still nursing, both literally and figuratively, have left him feeling aimless and distant. The group of friends have been trying to enjoy the precious summer months they have left together before they all split off for college, self-discovery, what have you. Normal things teenagers in Hawkins are supposed to do. Like spending blistering afternoons cooling off by the lake, finally teaching Jane how to ride a bike, gorging themselves on ice cream, (definitely not talking about what's eating at him), and going to the movies. It's June, Ghostbusters II just came out, and while the boys have been dying to see it, the girls insist they see Dead Poets Society. In an unassuming movie theatre, Mike's completely unprepared for what a film about boys at a boarding school might help reveal about the most repressed parts of himself, once thought to have already been quelled forever.
or
Mike Wheeler watches Dead Poets Society in theatres and promptly has a bit of a breakdown. A summer full of realizations, lots of mistakes, and maybe a redemption of sorts.Series

Summary
Being a part-time superhero doesn’t solve Will’s problems; instead, it adds to them. As Cleric, he’s forced to deal with his egotistical know-it-all of a partner, Paladin. As Will, he’s stuck hopelessly pining after his best friend. He’s honestly not sure which is worse.
One thing’s for sure, though — he needs a change. In one of his weaker moments, Will comes up with a plan: get over Mike by getting under someone else, someone he knows he won’t fall for.
Maybe Paladin is good for something, after all.

Summary
“... I want you to bitch me, Mike.” His eyes dart between both of Mike’s. “...Please?”
Mike makes a noise that almost sounds like a groan, but it’s swallowed up by the sound of movement. All of a sudden he’s in Will's space, maneuvering his head to the side to gain access to his neck. To his scent gland.
He seems to suddenly realise what he’s doing, as if his body moved without his permission. “Uhm. Like–” His breathing is heavy, “Like… Right now?”
Will never wanted to be an alpha. There might be a way he can change it, but... He's going to need some help.

Summary
The water ebbs around them, slow and tranquil, but the storm raging inside Will is anything but.
All he sees are Mike’s eyes as he closes the gap. A drop of water rolls down his neck, disappearing into the naked line of his collarbone.
“Say no if you don’t want me to,” he murmurs. “Push me back.”
Or, Will gets swept into Mike’s irresistible pull after a single night that changes their friendship forever. Late night talks turn into even later night kisses, friendly nudges to intoxicating touches, and the creaking of bedsprings now means something other than the return of Will's nightmares. Each new change blurs the line between friendship and something more, and as Will struggles to stay afloat through Mike's confusing storm, he starts wondering what it is exactly they are - and whether he'll sink for good in trying to find out.
