    Summary

    “We need to talk,” Lucas says quietly. He looks at Mike, his expression unreadable. “About what we saw. And what that thing knew.”

    Nancy meets Mike’s eyes in the rear-view mirror. Her gaze is hard, questioning. Distrustful.

    “Woah, woah!” Mike throws his hands up, nearly hitting Will as he recoils from their accusatory stares. The guilt is still burning in his chest, but defensiveness is a quicker shield. “Guys, I don’t know what he was talking about! I thought the shadow was all in my head and lied about that, yes, but I’m not hiding anything else!”

    OR: Mike’s denial of his feelings for Will finally catches up to him as Vecna pulls out all the stops to ensure his plans come to fruition, hell-bent on disrupting the group’s carefully maintained harmony.

    Three weeks after Max’s near-death and miraculous survival, the Party is unexpectedly dragged back into a world of nightmares. And this time, all of them getting out of this alive doesn't feel like it will be easy.

    Not at all.

    Summary

    Mike doesn't know when he started caring why Steve and Eddie are friends now, but Dustin has made him curious. Eddie and Steve were enemies before, sort of. So why are they now best friends? They've just got to do a bit of surveillance to work this puzzle out. If Mike accidentally finds out he has feelings for his best friend along the way then... well, shit.

    “At least I’m not using binoculars.” Mike shoots a derisive look over at Dustin. “Like we’re not in the middle of the high street, if they spot us how are you going to explain away those, huh?”

    “Bird watching,” says Dustin. “My new hobby.”

    Lucas punches him on the arm. “God you’re so fucking stupid.”

    “You gave them to me!”

    Summary

    Seeing him here, in New York, surrounded by the deep browns and golds of Hobart and Blackwell, is so alien to me I have to repress the urge to pinch myself like a child would after a dream. It looks incorrect, him standing here. Like someone has taken a pair of scissors to my memories of him, cut him out of his rightful place on the abandoned playground, and pasted him sloppily into a corner of my life where he doesn’t belong. Has it only been a few weeks? It feels like ages longer, like it’s been a decade, like we’re different people trying to see what exactly we liked about each other so much way back when.

    But then he says it again- “Potter.”- and that feeling vanishes as quickly as it arrived.

    “You came,” I say dumbly.

    He gives a cheery smirk that I don’t believe. “Promised I would.”

    Summary

    Ever since Will gave Mike the painting, Mike has been acting... weird. He's been standing closer to Will, there have been lingering gazes... but nothing too crazy, right? Nothing that Will can allow himself to dwell on.

    That is, until Mike starts kissing him.

    Summary

    Mike is burning up, inside and out.

    Externally, there’s a bubbling burn wound carved across his shoulder— but, to be honest, a simple injury is the least of his worries. He’s more concerned with the aggravating, endlessly-perplexing internal dilemma that’s been plaguing his mind for God knows how long; why is he completely incapable of acting normal around Will?

    Every time he sees Will— or even dares to look him in the eye— Mike feels this sort of fire burning deep in his chest, hot and all-consuming and completely inexplicable. And, no matter how hard he tries, Mike just can’t figure it out;

    What is wrong with him?

    (or; Mike has no idea why his heart starts to race around Will. It takes a near-death, some close encounters, and a few aggressive-but-caring talks from Jonathan for him to figure it out.)
