    Summary

    In a future world, it is possible to create full-grown humans in test tubes, complete with pre-uploaded knowledge, skills, and memories. With this technology banned for use in warfare, society has found another use for these creations - but only the rich can afford to order a custom-made spouse (or "Match"), and the country is wrought with controversy over the ethics of the practice.

    Mike, at 23 years old, is the son of a mildly powerful politician, and his father supports the Match-making industry wholeheartedly. Mike is solidly against it, but what can he do? His family has him in a choke hold. Uphold the family image, or else. Just as Mike is planning his escape, his parents tell him the great news: they signed him up to order a Match!

    Mike doesn't want some poor person to be created according to his every desire. It's wrong. With the help of Nancy, he hatches a plan.

    Will isn't sure why he seems so different from the other Matches around him. He's not supermodel gorgeous, or amazingly athletic, or sweet and easygoing like a Match should be. He's worried. Did something go wrong? Was he supposed to be better? But despite his worries, his curiosity wins out. He's anxious to meet his partner.

    Summary

    "When we win, when there's peace and I can be myself. Maybe then we can talk again."

    Jane doesn't think about why he doesn't chase her. Not a minute, nor an hour, nor a week later. Mike doesn't look for her. Maybe I broke his heart, she believes.

     

    based on a tweet
    OR : “m11 is already broken up and mike is spending more time with will and the wonder twins get into a fight over mike and no one in the party can figure out why they're fighting”.

    Summary

    Will bites his lip and nods, looking down at his shoes again so Richie won't see how hard he's holding back a giddy smile.

    Everybody in the party knows everything about him. Maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to keep a secret from Mike for a little while. 

    It's kind of exciting. Sneaking in a boy Mike hates.

    Will shakes his head, trying to clear Mike from it for the night. Only when he looks back up at Richie, Richie has this conspiratorial smile on his face, like maybe Will isn't the only one eager to piss off Mike Wheeler. 

    OR: the concept of Richie Tozier being Will Byers' dirty little secret and Mike Wheeler being so jealous he can't breathe. Byler endgame.

    Summary

    Mike and will drunkenly sleep together after Stacy’s party.

    — or —

    He’d thought he was over Mike. He’d told himself he was. He’d accepted that Mike would never feel the same way. Mike wasn’t like him. Untouchable. Unavailable. A dead end. He’d made peace with that over 18 months ago when the world was ending.

    But now Mike was here. And he was touching him. Looking at him like this. Like he wanted him.

    And Will was too drunk, too raw, too undone to shove the feelings back down where they belonged.

    ———

    Summary

    Will and Mike accidentally overhear a couple talking dirty over the walkie, and start repeating some of the filthy phrases to each other for shits and giggles. What starts as a joke, soon turns into something they can't stop doing – and can’t tell anyone about.

    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.
