Summary

After an argument and failing to show up at the wedding, Mike completely lost contact with Will. Now, another wedding in their friend group finally forces Mike to face his fears and attempt to mend what’s left of their relationship.
But with how much both of them had changed, is it still possible to go back to being friends?
| Let’s step inside the repressed mind of Mike Wheeler and see the world as he does, for now. |

Summary
It’s 8.56am, which means Will’s alarm will go off in 4 minutes. He’ll wake up, then text Mike to let him know his pre-heat has started, and Mike will let him know he’s on his way. He knows this, because he has turned looking after Will Byers into an art form - a carefully choreographed dance of adoration and tending.
Right on schedule, his screen lights up with a notification.
Mike might not look like an alpha, but he's doing his best to act like one.

Summary
Struggling Fine Arts student Will Byers is one freezing night away from losing his apartment and his future. When a desperate search for stability leads him to an elite matchmaking forum, the joke of finding a "Sugar Daddy" becomes a high-stakes reality. He signs a contract he never thought he’d consider, checking off boxes of surrender and praise that make his face burn and his heart race.
Famous novelist Mike Wheeler is a reclusive True Alpha with a severe case of writer's block and a penthouse that feels like a tomb. He wants a quiet, grounding presence—a distraction that won't demand his heart but will satisfy his darker instincts. He’s looking for a muse he can keep behind glass, someone who smells of vanilla and looks like a masterpiece under his touch.
But when Mike finds his lost inspiration in the curve of Will’s spine and the desperate way the Omega thrives under his praise, the lines between a business deal and a primal obsession blur. As the monthly checks are cashed and the intimacy becomes a nightly ritual, they both realize that some debts can’t be paid in cash. Can a bond built on financial need and physical release survive when the arrangement becomes the only thing keeping them both alive?

Summary
“I bet your boyfriend's funny, huh?” he said, before he could stop himself. His eyes flicked back to the piece of jewellery on Will’s neck. “Nice necklace by the way.”
Will froze.
Mike wasn’t stupid. He knew it wasn’t just a necklace. It was a signal. A claim.
Six years after everything, Mike Wheeler has built a life of routine and avoidance, convincing himself that silence is the same as healing. Will Byers has done the opposite – he’s left, grown, and learned to love without apology.
When they meet again at Lucas and Max’s wedding, the truth Mike has spent years avoiding, finally demands to be faced – especially when he sees Will with someone else.
As he finds out, sometimes yearning doesn’t fade with time. It grows, until punches are thrown.

Summary
Jayce is trying to piece together what had just happened. Moments before, he was floating in a shared consciousness with Viktor, gripping tight to the powerful rune, embracing destruction as they pressed their foreheads together. A satisfying ending, if he had to choose one after all the death and devastation they had endured.
So why is he breathing? And why is the grass blue?

Both of them need to come to grips with their pasts and decide who they want to be in the future. Together, they're discovering a new world while revisiting old memories over their seven years of friendship, full of joy, heartache, and pining, shedding a new light on what their relationship actually is.
