    Summary

    “See!”

    “Mich—”

    “So how can this keep happening?” Michelle continues, throwing her hands up. “I know what I like. I tell them what I like. Somehow, they still manage to screw it up. I—”

    “Maybe they get in their heads.”

    Michelle narrows her eyes at her. “You know what’s crazy?”

    “No, and I genuinely don’t want to,” Willow says, but god, she doesn’t want to guess either. Which would really be worse, though? Knowing or filling in the blanks?

    It seems it’ll boil down to the latter, since Michelle doesn’t speak for a while. Instead, she worries her bottom lip, studying Willow. In that one long second, Willow almost convinces herself that Michelle will drop it, and that’s probably for the better.

    Except she’s not that lucky.

    “Well,” Michelle says slowly, “I genuinely think I'd do a better job.”

    or

    Willow has spent a decade learning how to put all her feelings and desires in a box. Then Michelle comes home from another terrible hookup, determined to prove she’d be better at getting girls off than any guy she’s ever slept with.

    It’s hypothetical, until it isn’t.

    Summary

    “I need like– actionable steps. ‘Act normal’ is too vague.”

    Will sighs and reaches over to turn the radio down even quieter.

    “Ok for one, stop staring at my mouth,” Will says.

    Mike glances over at him automatically.

    Will laughs. “See? That’s exactly what I mean. You’ve been doing it for years, but now it’s like…it’s a lot, Mike. People are gonna notice.”

    “But I wanna kiss you,” Mike whines.

    It’s been a week since Mike and Will got together – one blissful week, like a honeymoon before the wedding. Now they’re in Montauk for Joyce and Hopper’s, surrounded by friends and family, and trying to fly under the radar. Somewhere along the way, Mike realizes he doesn’t want to hide anymore.

    Or, two horny idiots in love struggle to keep their relationship hidden.

    Summary

    Mike and Will settled into their New York high-rise apartment. The city was loud and jarring for two small-town college kids, but they made do. The noise of Hawkins's gossip was replaced by the disgruntled yells of jaywalkers.

    Finally, they had found peace. They had each other, and that was what mattered.

    With every morning tangled under the same sheets, Mike felt a strange feeling stirring in his chest. It fluttered with every kiss he pressed to Will's forehead and cheek. Any appreciative gesture they traded back and forth sprang that same strange, peculiar feeling to life.

    It was a simple, unspoken thing that always passed between them that Mike couldn't quite name...

    Summary

    If Willow doesn't know what she's doing, if no one's taught her…

    "I could teach you," she suggests, and at Willow's answering expression, "What? I said I would help you. If you're not sure what you're doing, then I can show you, right?"

    "You mean—" Willow takes a deep breath. "Let me get this straight. Are you seriously suggesting I jerk off in front of you?" Her voice rises, and Michelle feels hot all over.

    "Yeah," she says faintly. "I can tell you what to do, and then you can work out what feels good for yourself."

    When Michelle offers to help Willow explore her own pleasure, she sets something in motion between the two of them that neither one could have expected.

    Aka, the guided masturbation fic.
