Summary
“So are you gonna tell him?” Max asked as soon as she sat down to pee.
Mike with his eyes facing toward the door and away from her sighed loudly, “You have to drop this. You know I can’t.”
“Bullshit, Wheeler. You know as well as I do that that is such fucking bullshit.” He could picture the annoyance painted across her face without even having to look, it was an expression he was well versed in.
“So what if it’s bullshit? It’s my truth.”
in which madwheeler are college roommates, mike can't do anything but be gay and pine after will, and max is SICK of mike's shit

Just for a second, I remembered myself by Romanoff_mylove

Summary
Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.
And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.
OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

Summary
Max's eyes dart between Will and Mike, studying them with thinly veiled amusement. She turns to Lucas and nudges him with an elbow. "Was it really this obvious?"
"Yep," Lucas sighs. "The whole time."
Max snorts. "Oh my god. When I get back, nobody is living this down."
Or: Will has seen a lot of things in the past few years, but the arrival of a friend from ten years in the future is… unexpected, to say the least. The ceiling opens up and spits out a twenty-six-year-old Max Mayfield, and the definition of possible expands again.

Summary
“That’s not an answer,” said Jonathan, his eyes narrowed. “You haven’t been doing what I think you have, have you?”
“What?” asked Will, “Coursework?”
“Mating with Mike.”
Will had picked up his satchel full of art supplies that he’d left in the living room earlier that day, and at these words he dropped it with a resounding crash.
“Mating with Mike?” he repeated disbelievingly, “Are you insane?”
Will spends the day in Mike’s nest, unknowing of the implications. Everyone else spells it out for him.
