    Summary

    “You wrote to me.” It’s not a question.

    “Yeah, I – er, I mean. No.” The letters on the bed glare up at him, shaking their head in their obviousness.

    “Which is it?” Will asks, and he’s nervous. Is he nervous? Mike wonders suddenly, because if anything, the boy looks fucking cocksure right now, with that half-hidden sort of grin at the corner of his mouth. And Mike is not turned on by it at all. Obviously. Because he is terrified.

    “I wrote them, I just er, I never sent them.”

    “No shit,” Will laughs, openly this time, taking a step closer to the bed. Mike forgets how to breathe. He can smell the fucking rain now, mixed with the scent of Will’s skin, and his shampoo, and the same fucking laundry detergent Joyce has used since they were in kindergarden. And Mike knows, with absolute certainty, he’s about to pass out.

    Or: Will discovers Mike’s box of unsent letters. And Mike starts thinking in clichés. Two-way Lettergate

    Summary

    Mike’s gotta be cursed.

    It was fine. For the first time in ages, Mike’s life seemed to be on an upward trajectory instead of plummeting downwards. College had, in some way, fixed things. Fixed Mike. He didn’t even feel the need to dissect what exactly had made his early teenage years so horrifying.

    But like a curse, it’s all come back.

    aka mike figures out his sexuality in the worst way possible, but as always, will is there to help. in more ways than one.

    Summary

    “You’re thinking,” Will says, skating a finger down the line of Mike’s nose, under his eye, over his cheekbone, then resting, finally, just at the corner of his lips– “about me.”

    Oh, Jesus. Mike’s throat is very, very dry. “What?”

    Will opens his eyes – slow, a little hesitant – and smiles. “You are,” he says, way, way too smug for Mike’s liking. “You’re turning red!”

    “Shut up,” Mike mutters, and Will’s smile grows. “You– I’m just nervous!”

    It should be illegal for someone to look this pleased with themselves. “Yeah?” Will says quietly, index finger still hovering at the corner of Mike’s mouth, thumb pressed gently under his chin. “I make you nervous?”

    Mike thinks Will might be psychic. (Kind of.) Will is being very irritatingly vague about the whole thing.

    Summary

    When Will needs to get his thoughts out of his head, he writes a letter he never intends to send. He addresses it to Mike, and tells him everything.

    Feeling lighter than he has in weeks and buoyed by the adrenaline of writing it all out, Will acts on an impulse and ends the letter with, "If you’d be willing to give me a chance, I’d be really happy to date you. If you’re open to trying it, please meet me in Castle Byers this Saturday at 2:00pm. I’m not asking for any promises, I’m not asking for forever or anything like that; all I’m asking is that you give me a chance. Come if you want; if not, I completely understand, no hard feelings, and I’ll never, ever mention this again."

    He forgets all about the letter, and the distinctive red envelope he stowed it in, until he turns around to find it missing. Now, Will has to think of some way to stop Mike from reading that letter - or should he wait at Castle Byers on Saturday at 2:00pm and pray for a miracle?

    Summary

    Author's Summary: “Oh, fuck,” Eddie gasps. He looks around at his friends in horror as he puts two and two together, hoping that he’s added up wrong. “Please tell me you didn’t!”

    He receives confirmation in the form of an overdriven guitar riff, and Argyle ushering a man into the apartment. A very pretty man. A very pretty man in a sailor suit. Hat included.

    His ‘friends’ hired a stripper for his birthday. He’s going to kill them.

    (Eddie's friends hire a stripper for his Halloween Birthday Bash. Steve shows up.)
