Summary
“And I guess… I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m sorry,” Mike says, and he scoots closer to Will, knee brushing against Will’s own. “I’m sorry that I let you deal with all this shit alone, and I’m sorry I didn’t see what was happening or what I was doing, and I’m sorry I hurt you, Will. But… but most of all…
Will’s heart pounds, and he waits with nervous anticipation, hanging onto Mike’s every word. “I’m sorry I was too late,” Mike whispers, tears welling in his eyes. “That… that I was too late for us.”
Or:
The one in which Will and Mike fall apart before they fall back together.

Summary
"Hands at his hips slide beneath his shirts to squeeze at bare waist. Skin on skin that lights a burning fire within him. He releases a loud and unforgiving whine. They can’t be doing this. They shouldn’t be doing this. Will pulls away like he’d been burned. It kind of felt like he was."
Starts immediately after Season 5 Episode 4 ends.

At the age of five, Mike finds out that he lives in quite a peculiar world.

“Mike. Do you remember when you asked us about the tattoo you’ve seen on Grandma Julie’s wrist?”
Mike nods and a whole new world opens up for him.A series rewrite where Mike and Will fall in love in a world made of soulmates and monsters.

Summary
“I’m just…thinking.”
“Well, can you think out loud?” Will gripes, sounding tense and unhappy even as he settles back against Mike’s chest. “You’re making me nervous.”
Mike laughs a little. “I’m not sure I should; I don’t want to freak you out.”
“Mike,” and Will sounds supremely unimpressed, “I just took control of three Demos, two of which were miles away, and proceeded to snap their limbs and kill them with my mind. Not only that, I just told you that I did it by drawing strength, in large part, from being your friend. You’re worried about freaking me out? Really?”
“Yeah, and I’m the guy who watched you do it and thought that it was the hottest thing I’d ever seen in my life, so what does that say about me?”
There’s a long, shocked silence.
“See, this is why I don’t think out loud,” Mike jokes weakly.
--
Mike falls a little bit more in love with Will because, at this point, who wouldn't? He just saved Mike's life, after all. Unfortunately, the others don't quite see it that way, and it's getting to Will a little bit. Mike intends to remedy that.
Immediately following the ending of season 5 episode 4: Sorcerer

Summary
Pete sees eyes watching, laughing, crying. He sees a pair of eyes watch him ignore Tinky’s taunt and then lie awake at night wondering what could have been. He sees different fingers on a different keyboard. He sees every moment of his life and of the many lives he’s lived and will ever live flash before his eyes.
Pete feels something in his mind catch, like fingers holding the corners of a piece of paper, and then the fingers tear the paper right down the middle. Pete makes a gasping sound, painful and grating as the overload of information causes his mind to literally split into pieces. The sound of his mind ripping is like a thousand screams overlapping at once- terrible and incomprehensible.
So like, What if when Tinky said that line about having a full set of Spankoffskis in his toy box, it was after Ted had gone missing? What if Pete acted a little irrationally and demanded to know what happened to his brother?
What if Tinky showed him?
