    Summary

    “Why does it even matter?”

    “It matters because you lied.”

    “About a stupid painting?”

    “It’s not stupid to me!"

    “Mike! What do you want from me!” The question is desperate and so loud, it fills the entire room, knocking the fight out of them both. Will’s eyes brim with tears.

    It's the last night of his trip visiting Will at NYU and Mike finds something curious in a sketchbook. Before he can face what it might mean for him, he has to find out what it meant (or means) for Will.

    u/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]

    Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.

    Summary

    Will is in New York City now. He’s graduated from art school. He has a new boyfriend. He’s accepted himself in ways he never thought he could. For the first time in his life, he’s happy—really happy. He’s moved on from Hawkins. Moved on from the past. He looks toward the future now instead of over his shoulder.

    He’s moved on from Mike.

    At least, that’s what he tells himself.

    But when Mike stops calling—when weeks stretch into months, and months into years without a single word from the boy he once loved—

    Will can’t help but feel it.

    That quiet, cavernous emptiness opening up inside his chest.

    — or —

    Mike does something that leaves Will feeling completely helpless, even though they are hundreds of miles apart.

    Summary

    Mike is sitting at the desk that technically belongs to both of them but has, by unspoken agreement, become his. His typewriter is centered in front of him, a stack of slightly wrinkled paper to the left, a mug with cold coffee to the right, and his glasses sliding down his nose every few minutes.

    The lamp is on low. Yellow light pools over the keys and his fingers.

    He types carefully at first, then faster, then pauses, his fingers hovering over the keys shakily.
    On the page, the name stares back at him.

    Will the Wise.

    Summary

    "It's complicated," Mike says.

    "Well, make it less complicated!"

    Dustin throws his hands up. "Yeah, are you guys dating, or are you fighting? Because there's no way you're just friends anymore."

    Will opens his mouth. His eyes are wide and a little scared, and Mike doesn't like it, but he looks back anyways.

    His brain is doing the thing where it moves faster than he can follow it. Two options, Dustin said.

    Will's mouth is still open. Mike thinks about fighting, and his brain slams shut. Nope. He thinks about everything Will said four days ago. If those are the only two options, Mike already knows which one he's picking.

    "We're... dating," Mike says.

    Or, Mike Wheeler decides that fake dating his best-friend-turned-hookup is a better option than losing him.
