    Summary

    Sir Michael assesses them both. He seems to accept whatever he finds, nodding slowly. “I see. My apologies, it seems I have gotten ahead of myself. For how long have you two been courting, then?”

    Someone chokes behind them, and for a second, Mike honestly thinks he’s misheard him. The look on his face is dead serious, though, stoic in a way that makes it very clear he’s not joking.

    “What?” he croaks. He looks over at Will, who looks just as caught off guard as he feels.

    “You need not be shy,” Michael reassures them, back straightening. “I, too, was hesitant when William and I first began our courtship. I understand.”

    When Mike’s doppelgänger shows up dressed like something straight out of one of their D&D campaigns, Mike thinks he ought to be thrilled. There are alternate universes. There are alternate universes with knights and wizards and dragons. And, honestly, Mike probably would be thrilled, under normal circumstances. The guy is just so weird about him and Will.

    Love is a fickle thing.

    Just not for Mike.

    or

    After a thoughtful talk and subsequent breakup with El, Mike has to renavigate his friendship with Will and the overwhelming feelings that come with it.

    Summary

    Does Carlton gel his hair? Mike wanted to ask. Do you run your fingers through it when you kiss him? Do you pull on it when you–

    What came out was: “No, it’s okay. I trust your opinion with stuff like that.”

    That seemed to be the right thing to say because Will blushed hot and ducked his head slightly, giving him the same frantic, flustered look he’d become used to before Will went to college and got a boyfriend and became so unbearably pretty it kind of choked the life out of Mike to be alone with him.

    Will won't shut up about his new boyfriend. Mike is totally Normal about it.

    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: A buzzy post-vol 1 fic in which Will finally grows more confident, only for the hivemind’s possession to take it all away again. Mike may be the only one who can bring it back. And the two of them might be the only ones who can save the world.

    **Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

    Summary

    “And I know, it’s not your fault. Trust me, I haven’t forgotten.”

    Shit. Mike was really hoping that would never come up.

    “I know, I know, I know it’s not your fault. But you know what?” Will steps closer, “it doesn’t change the fact that it feels like your fault.” With a shove on Mike’s shoulder, he painfully adds, “it feels like it’s all your fault.”

    When everyone suddenly masters the art of communication, Mike and Will give it a shot. They don't get it right on the first try.


    OR: 5 steps Mike takes towards the truth, and 1 leap Will makes towards destiny.
