Summary
“Come here often?”
How stupid, is the first thing Regulus thinks, before he looks up and thinks, how beautiful. It’s unfair, really.
“Really? That’s the line you go with?” Regulus responds, making a show of putting his bookmark in his book and taking out one of his earbuds. James just interrupted him, not that there was any reading to interrupt.
James shrugs. “I’m out of practice, I guess. Is this spot taken?”
“That’s… that’s just sand.”
or
regulus being dragged along on a family vacation to babysit his cousin turns into a summer fling, reuniting with an estranged brother, and way too many steps out of his comfort zone.

Summary
“Hazza, you poorly assembled toast rack,” Pez interrupts him, effectively stopping Henry in his tracks as he tries to untangle the absurdity of that description. “You are not cancelling your birthday dinner just because your – admittedly charming and extremely sexy – best friend can’t hop across the pond in quite as sprightly and timely a manner as we’d previously hoped. You shall go to the ball.”

Summary
"Robin likes to joke that Steve was made for being a small café barista. That he somehow exemplifies what anyone thinks of when envisioning a hipster-esque coffee maker. Sure, he wears straight leg jeans so worn that they’re becoming frayed at the ends, and more often than not his shirt is thrifted. But that’s because it’s the financially responsible decision, okay Robin? He can’t afford the luxurious lifestyle of his high school days when he was completely dependent on his parents and their habit of throwing cash at him instead of attention."
Or:
Steve and Robin work at a coffee shop and Eddie is a handsome customer that starts coming in during their shifts.Series

"No better time to face our issues than the best night of the year."
"After we were banned from trick or treating it stopped being the best night of the year."
"Then what's the best night of the year now?"
"Any night I'm with you," Mike says, looking down at him adoringly.
Will smiles, feeling his cheeks go warm. "What a coincidence, that's tonight."
Or,
Halloween, 1987; Will encourages Mike to finally tell the last member of the party that he's gay. When they get around the party for a fun little night, Will holds back from telling them himself as Mike makes his own decision.

Summary
If anyone had asked, Mike would always say his favorite season was fall.
Could you blame him? There was just so much to love about it – the shifting hues of amber, bronze, and ruby that adorned the falling leaves in Central Park; the dwindling temperatures that brought relief from the sticky summer heat; the feel of a new knit sweater against the fresh gales of fall breeze. The gloomy sky and crisp air perfectly synthesized into the type of atmosphere that let Mike justify another cup of coffee, and hell, he’d take that over the glaring sun and thick humidity of New York summers any day.
What was there to not love about fall? Honestly, he couldn’t think of one thing even if he tried his hardest –
Oh. Right.
His boyfriend hated the fall.
OR: With the upcoming anniversary of Will's disappearance, Mike hatches a plan to make the next two days a little more tolerable.
OR OR: Will, entirely from Mike’s eyes, and the love he knows will never fade. -

Summary
Will swallows down his fear and stares at the door unblinkingly. Kill the monster. Take the risk. Cast fireball. Shoot the gun.
Of course, he hadn’t expected it to come from behind him.
The light burns bright into his retinas. The whole room shakes, wood paneling nearly busting at the seams.
A rolled seven. An unrewarded risk.
The beast’s got him.

Summary
Will raises his eyebrows. “Is that why you came in here?” he repeats, looking back down at the blue flannel. “To ask me about the weather in Lenora?”
“Kind of,” Mike says, and then, “well no, not about the weather specifically. I just– I wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh.” And Will looks a lot more surprised at this, actually, than the idea that Mike might have just wanted to come to his room to make small talk about unseasonably frigid California winters. “Okay. What about?”
“Anything.” The response is embarrassingly immediate. “Everything. I don’t know. I missed you.”
Hawkins, 1986. The world is ending, there are too many people in Mike's house, and, to top it all off, he and Will have some things to talk through.

Summary

Summary
“I’m here.” Mike responded. He let his own hand lay on top of Will’s, further confirming, letting his touch linger. He felt the pressure on his chest grow ever so slightly, “I’m here.”
Will, hand trailing to gently trace against the edge of his freckle kissed jaw, merely watched as the trap snapped. Although unaware, even the smallest brush of his skin locked Mike where he sat. That calloused hand had successfully plucked the air from his lungs and cemented him to his blue beach towel.
“I know.”
OR: Will, the center of Mike's universe. The center of it all.

Summary
And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”
Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”
“Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”
Mike beams. “Good.”
“Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.
Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
Thankfully, he knows better.
Kind of. -

Summary
a post-series/post s4 au about our favourite kids/teenagers trying to figure out normal life after they've finished saving the world once and for all.
(canon compliant up til vol 2; everybody lives!!; takes/incorporates some moments of vol 2 but disregards most of the plot because, well, this fic needs their lives to actually return to normal.)
(everybody is friends with each other bc we love all the characters in this house, but the main ships of the series are nancy/robin and steve/eddie, all the other canon ships happenin' in the background)

Summary
“I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”
Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”
Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.
“...Would we?”
“Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”
Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.
In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

Summary
“Well, I don't know,” Mike says. This is exactly what he had practised in the mirror earlier– except now he has to say it with the sudden certainty that this is all a very bad idea. “I guess I thought that a kiss would be a good bucket list item, or whatever."
Will looks at him for a few seconds. His gaze is calculating, and almost curious. But then he just shakes his head dismissively, and looks away.
“Yeah, I guess,” he agrees. “It’s not like there’s anyone to kiss here, though."
Mike almost laughs at that. Yeah, right.
He knows of at least two other people who would be down to kiss Will, if he asked them to. He selfishly keeps this to himself- because he doesn’t want Will to kiss anybody else, and because he doesn’t want to explain why, exactly, he has been keeping such close track of his best friend's romantic prospects.
“I mean,” he says instead, with a shrug. “I’m here."
It's the end of the world. Mike thinks that he and Will should kiss about it.

Summary
“People liked me there,” Will says after a few minutes, staring up at the tragically blank ceiling. “In Lenora, I mean. It was- weird.”
Mike snorts, letting his head loll to the side so that he can see Will’s profile, illuminated in the early evening light, tanned skin and freckles and wide hazel eyes still staring contemplatively skyward. Mike wants Will to turn his face and look at him, wants that wide-eyed gaze on him, wants to swallow every breath that Will exhales.
At the same time, he’s not sure he’d survive something like that. He’s already barely keeping it together, just looking at him.
“It was weird,” he echoes, faintly amused. “That people liked you?”
Will’s eyes flick to him just briefly, and Mike’s heart rate increases by one thousand percent. “You know what I mean.”
the one where mike and will missed each other, and they talk about it, and then they kiss about it.
