    Summary

    “Is it cause you used to have a crush on me?” Mike asked, abruptly.

    “What!” It was Will’s turn to blush harder, giving him a glare reserved for Mike Wheeler and Mike Wheeler only. “No. God. That was ages ago. I’ve been past that for a long time.”

    Mike motioned like he’d made his point. “See? So? It wouldn’t be weird.”

    So, Mike likes guys. Fine, Will can live with that. Except now Mike's worried about having fallen behind and would really like some help practicing how to kiss a guy from his also-into-guys best friend. And Will is trying really, really hard to be a good mentor to him, so what is he going to do, say no?

    Summary

    She can’t escape the throne. Or the girl it was meant to devour. Alicent Hightower wears the regency like a crown of thorns. Confined by duty, something’s going to cleave. Maybe the realm. Maybe her heart. Maybe the line between them.

    "One year,” Rhaenyra spits the words, “and if you linger a day beyond, Alicent, I will take the throne with fire.”

    Or;

    Viserys died earlier within the six-year time skip. Alicent successfully becomes queen regent. Rhaenyra arrives in King’s Landing. It changes everything.

    Summary

    Their shoulders brushed again, slow and equally savored. The kind of movement you couldn't pretend was an accident.

    So Will brushed back, just barely. Testing. Flirting. Mike inhaled softly, the faintest noise escaping him. And then he spoke like he was physically unable to stay silent any longer. 

    “Will? If… if that boy you like…” he was standing so close that Will could feel the warmth of him against the cold air. “…If you ever wanted to tell him…”

    Will felt his breath stop. 

    “…I think he’d want to know.”

    OR: A buzzy post-vol 1 fic in which Will finally grows more confident, only for the hivemind’s possession to take it all away again. Mike may be the only one who can bring it back. And the two of them might be the only ones who can save the world.

    **Can be read as a vol 2/3 fix-it fic post-finale

    Summary

    “Did it hurt?” He leaned in, looking more closely.

    “Well yeah.” Mike laughed nervously. “Still does actually, kind of throbs."

    “It looks... really good.” Will’s stare unfixed from the piercing and took in Mike as a whole. His baggy black t-shirt over a tighter long sleeve waffle knit shirt that covered his arms, loose jeans, silver rings, chipped nail polish. And the newest addition: A shiny silver bar bisecting his eyebrow, the skin around it still a little angry.

    “When did you get so cool?” Will tilted his head, scrunching his nose. Mike's heart picked up speed.

    Mike checked his watch. “About an hour ago when this big dude stabbed me in the face.” With nonchalance that would be squandered instantly if Will caught a glimpse of his pulse. Will laughed a little too hard, eyes lingering on Mike’s face a little too long.

Mike is on a self acceptance journey, experimenting with his identity in college, and Will tries to keep it in his pants.
