    Summary

    Mike Wheeler doesn’t believe in improvisation.
    Which is why, when faced with two weeks on the Amalfi Coast at his ex-fiancée’s wedding, surrounded by friends, family, and far too many questions, he hires a companion.
    Will Byers is charming, perceptive, and entirely too good at noticing things Mike would rather keep hidden.
    It’s only supposed to be a temporary arrangement.
    Mike is very good at plans.
    Unfortunately, Will has never been particularly interested in following them.

    The rules are simple:
    Two weeks.
    One wedding.
    No complications, no expectations, no sex.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    “Okay. So, we’ll need someone willing to model for the photo shoot.”

    Will freezes for half a second. His mind, traitor that it always was, already sprints ahead of him. Someone tall enough to wear armour, someone who already has a set of armour in his damn closet. Someone patient and willing enough to stand around, someone who looks good in fake blood. Someone who looks brave after being wounded and perfectly prepossessing even after the fog of war. Even after being brutalised, corrupted, eyes made wild with the mess of taking a life.

    His new partner tilts her head. “You wouldn’t happen to know anyone who’d be up for that, would you?”

    Will blinks at her, opens his mouth, closes it again. Then: “...Yeah,” he says, because lying has never been one of his strong suits.

    He absolutely does.

    aka will has an art project involving fake blood, and mike can't stop thinking about it.

    Summary

    What did he think, really?

    What did he hope to find in the arms of a Mike Wheeler who's suddenly comfortable enough to go to gay bars in New York? That he was just going to have sex with his first love, who's gotten even prettier than he was six years ago and realise, oh, actually yeah I'm definitely over you?

    Yes. Yes, that was what he'd hoped. That's exactly why he'd taken Mike up on the offer, goddammit.

    But he can't face palm hard enough to leave a mark right now, because as he mentioned before, Mike is naked, lying on top of him, gently kissing up and down his neck, still warm and sticky inside him. He can't face palm, because he was wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.

    aka after the best hook up he's ever had, will tries to convince himself that mike is still a jerk. mike proves him wrong with aftercare and a surprising confession

    Summary

    Nearly two years after graduating from Hawkins High, Will Byers had what he’d always wanted. Control. He’s in charge of his life day in and day out.

    Mike can’t sleep, write, or do much of anything, really.

    Mike didn’t show up to the airport last summer, and Will didn’t come back to Indiana - until he found himself on the Wheelers’ doorstep at Christmas.

    In which Mike and Will haven’t spoken in over a year, and neither of them quite know how they ended up on a road trip back to California as roommates.

    Or, with a little bravery, some interference from friends old and new, and a whole lot of butter, Mike and Will might actually stand a chance of being honest with each other and getting what they want.

    Summary

    His mind supplies him with a very, very helpful reminder of what the new guy’s shoulders looked like in his damp shirt yesterday morning. The defined curve of his muscles, the shape of his ass in those slacks. The ratio of shoulders to waistline, narrow and a perfect fit for Mike’s hands. He can just imagine how easy it would be to lift him by the waist to sit up on Mike’s desk, how his legs would splay open—

    Mike swallows drily. His palms tingle with the desire to touch. Robin is right. He is Mike’s type, right down the fucking shoes.

    “So, what did you say his name was?” Mike asks. Robin sighs.

    Mike Wheeler is a 35 year old, established, professional senior editor at a successful publishing imprint. Will Byers is the 24 year old design assistant who is so hot it's going to get Mike fired.
