Summary
Following the events directly after Affectionate Dissonance, Will and Mike grapple with their identities in light of changes to their status quo. Amidst Mike's latest discovery, he finds himself sinking rather than swimming in the his own repression. And Will fights through feelings of jealousy as he is forced to ask himself: What does he really want from Mike? And is it for the best? Both of them navigate new feelings, attraction and desire with the help of a nosy Eli.
Where will their answers lead them? And what does Eli want? Can he be trusted?
*This is not a standalone. It's better to read the previous work first.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is fucked. Fucked and screwed and utterly lost wrapped in an anxious bundle of gay disaster. Between his repressed thoughts spilling out, budding crushes and deeply hidden discoveries about himself and a certain, green-eyed sorcerer. Mike is certain being vecna'd would have been more palatable than this.
Or
My take on Mike discovering his sexuality and everything in-between alongside his love for Will. With the help of the party and a confident not-gay-disaster Will. With a lot more tenderness than is usually afforded to him.
Or
The author loves Mike Wheeler and thinks he deserves patience instead of criticism.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a mess. Nearly thirty years old, a closeted virgin, and secretly in love with his childhood best friend. What better way to turn things around than to spend his thirtieth birthday with the Party playing D&D? When Will casts an overpowered Zone of Truth spell, Mike fears the campaign is over. Except the spell doesn't target the NPC holding the key to victory—Mike is the effected creature.
What starts as an innocent evening filled with adventure quickly devolves into a humiliating display of lust as Mike answers the Party's questions about his sexual preferences and his feelings for a certain someone. Even worse, he comes to find that Will is more than happy to get him alone to continue the interrogation.
or
“Let’s roll for it.”
“I already have to tell you the truth if you ask,” Mike says.
“True,” Will smiles. “But this is more fun, right? A proper persuasion check?”
“Okay,” Mike breathes out. “I’m- I’m still the DM, so… You roll for persuasion. Let’s say the Difficulty Class is ten. That’s fair, right?”
It might as well be a five, hell, maybe even a two. Mike’s too eager, too fucking desperate to not be persuaded by any suggestion of his.

Summary
"That really was an exceptional massage... you're getting better..." Mike whispered, his voice thick with sleep.
"You know you're the only one I do this for, right?" Will replied softly.
"Only me..." Mike repeated, already drifting off.
After a few seconds of silence, Will summoned his courage. "Mike... All of this... what is it to you?"
Or:
What begins as a way to ease Mike's insomnia through massages soon turns into something much more intense. Mike has to face a truth he’s been burying deep behind a concrete wall: he can't resist the way Will makes him feel.
This is a slow burn with sexual tension, LOTS of massages, a secret relationship that isn't quite so discreet, some sex games, and plenty of Mike fighting for Will and against his own demons...

Summary
Will attends a baseball game with his friends and struggles with jealousy over the coworker Mike has been talking to a lot lately. But when the Kiss Cam highlights Mike and their coworker, Mike doesn't kiss her. He kisses Will.
Update: I have since started posting chapters of an extended version of this fic. It is not completed, but I will be posting chapters regularly. I start it back to when Will moves after losing his job.
