    Summary

    All this time, he’d thought El was penance, for his failure to protect Will. That being with her was atonement, for wanting the wrong things, for feeling the wrong way. But it hadn’t helped— Will kept leaving. And El did, too. Mike keeps losing people, and nothing he does brings them back.

    Each time Mike thinks of Will, he feels the weight of cosmic responsibility.

    He's doesn't know what he feels for Will anymore. But he knows for certain that it isn't allowed.

    non-linear series retrospective, from mike's perspective. (aka: the mike pov we all deserved)

    Summary

    Mike goes to confront Will, but after he finds out Will has been abused he just fucking kills Carlton instead.

    READ THE TAGS. PLEASE GOD READ THE TAGS. THIS IS A VERY ANGSTY, HEAVY FIC WITH A LOT OF DARK THEMES. READ THOSE TAGS. THANK YOU.

    Slow updates possibly, because I have trauma with DV myself. This fic started as a project to help me work through my trauma, but after I got a little tipsy and decided to post it on TikTok a lot of people wanted to read this fic. I hope this finds someone who will enjoy reading as much as I will enjoy writing, but due to how close to home the abuse aspect is, it might be a while between chapters. But I promise I won't abandon it, and will still post as regularly as I can. This fic is too important for me to just abandon 🤗 Y'all just might have to bear with me.

    Also some of the chapters are REALLY long lol so it takes a while to edit them.

    Summary

    Or:

    Mike and Will start talking dirty to each other for fun. What they don't consider is that it would accidentally turn them on.
