Summary
Being a part-time superhero doesn’t solve Will’s problems; instead, it adds to them. As Cleric, he’s forced to deal with his egotistical know-it-all of a partner, Paladin. As Will, he’s stuck hopelessly pining after his best friend. He’s honestly not sure which is worse.
One thing’s for sure, though — he needs a change. In one of his weaker moments, Will comes up with a plan: get over Mike by getting under someone else, someone he knows he won’t fall for.
Maybe Paladin is good for something, after all.

Summary
"We get it, you're hilarious. Now take these off, please, so I can go home."
"Sorry, man," Lucas says, shrugging. He stands from his spot on the floor to come to Max's side. "But it was getting bad. You've been weird since Stacey's party."
Or: Mike and Will refuse to admit what happened last Friday, and the Party has the perfect solution. 24 hours handcuffed to your best friend shouldn't be so bad, should it?

Summary
"Your Paladin won't be coming to save you," Dante said, lying through his teeth. It was perhaps the most obvious bluff he’d ever made, and if the way Will's eyebrows shot up is any indication, it showed.
Will's lip twitched, like he was fighting a laugh – or a scream. Dante preferred to think it was the latter. "Really? Did he tell you that?"
Or: A collection one one-shots in the Go Save the World universe!

Summary
In one swift movement, Mike pulls the box open, and what comes tumbling out isn't a feral stray - it's a kitten. A wet, trembling, scrawny kitten, with damp orange-and-black fur and big, frightened eyes, and Mike reaches a hand out without a second thought. He strokes two fingers over the kitten's back, and it leans into the touch, a tentative purr leaving its throat.
Or: Mike finds a kitten in an alleyway, and gets more attached than he intends to.

Summary
April 7th dawns like every other day, and it's not until Will throws a Kit-Kat at him that he realizes there's something amiss. He blinks the sleep from his eyes and stares up at where Will's standing, watching him with something like expectation in his face.
"Happy Birthday," Will says. There's the faintest hint of a smile on his face, barely reaching his eyes.
Mike blinks. Once, then twice, and when the third time brings no more clarity, he manages to force out a "What?"
Or: Three birthdays where Mike's life is vastly different, but one thing always stays the same.

Summary
Sometimes, all it takes is one late-night conversation.
A conversation about bad dates somehow leads to Mike tracing the constellation of moles scattered across Will’s skin. It turns into a harmless challenge when he closes his eyes and finds every spot in the dark.
Maybe love and compatibility isn’t something you search for. Maybe it’s already there with someone you’ve known by heart all along.

Summary
"Mike."
"Yeah?" Mike pulls back slightly and Will's eyes flicker down, watching as he sucks his bottom lip into his mouth.
He doesn't know what to say; he's not sure he even knows how to breathe.
"Strawberry," Mike says after a moment, his voice wavering.
"What?"
"The flavor… is it strawberry?"
or:
Mike and Will play the chapstick game, the line between friendship and something more blurring as they do whatever it takes to win.

Summary
“I love you, Will. I am so in love with you, it drives me insane. I think about you all the time. Even after all these years, I still get so excited to be around you. You make me so, so happy.”
Mike takes a shuddering breath and looks into Will’s eyes. There are tears in them, Mike notices. A glassy sheen covers the hazel that Mike loves so much. He swipes a thumb across Will’s cheek, soothing.
“I can’t imagine my life without you in it,” Mike whispers. “I don’t ever want to. I want to be with you forever, Will.”
