Summary
Something happened between Mike and Will during winter break of ‘89, and they haven’t spoken in four years. When Mike moves to New York for grad school in 1993, he is finally starting to figure himself out, and he wants to fix things with Will. He has no idea where to begin, so he writes a play about it.
Will has been building a life for himself in NYC as a painter. He has a boyfriend, volunteers with an AIDS housing program, and pays his rent by acting in other people’s plays – including, as it turns out, Mike’s.
A story about the damage of being loved before you’re ready, and about trying to make your way back (with a little help along the way from your meddling older siblings).

Summary
"Clean it."
"What?" Mike deadpanned, sock starting to soak from the spilled coffee on the hardwood. "I-"
"You’re gonna get on your knees, and clean it.” Will smiled, “Isn’t that what you want? So I can tell you just how good you’re being for me?”
Fuck.

Mike has a praise kink and Will starts to notice.

Summary
Mike agreed to be Will’s reference model for his new art series. The series - Trust, vulnerability, and the surrender of control.
Dustin’s eyebrows shot up. “Mike Wheeler volunteering to get naked and tied up for art. I need to speak to the manager of this timeline.”
They told themselves it was just art. Just a favor between best friends. But with every session, the excuse wears thinner. Mike isn't just posing anymore; he’s discovering a side of himself he never knew existed and he’s realizing that the person he wants to surrender to is the one drawing him.
It was supposed to be "just reference, just art," Until it wasn't.
Or:
Mike realizes how much he is into BDSM after volunteering to be Will’s reference model. It’s just art, until it isn't.

Summary
Mike was sick of them. Sick of their double dates, their couple's costumes, inside jokes and plans they just have to make a 'couples thing'. Sure, the six of them still hung out together all the time, but Mike and Will would always end up ostracized by default, unable to communicate with them now that they only spoke the language of love and nothing else. And that summer, at the cottage, it definitely wouldn't be any different.
or
It's 1993. The party goes over to Lucas's family cottage for the summer; Mike and Will get bothered by how often they're excluded from all the couples stuff their friends do, which leads them to start pretending to be dating in the most insufferable way they can come up with. They just weren't counting on it completely blurring the lines of their friendship.
