Summary
“Someone’s ahead of herself,” a voice observes from behind. It crawls over Willow’s skin and settles itself in her abdomen. It pins her in place.
Shit. Fuck. Shit.
Willow hadn't meant for Michelle to find her in such a compromised state. Fuck, Michelle wasn't even supposed to be home yet, it's far too early in the afternoon, if the sunlight creeping through the cracked window near the ceiling is anything to go by, far too fucking early for Michelle to be standing behind her with a smug grin plastered to her face.
OR
The one where Willow finds a way to pass her time on the washing machine while Michelle is away at work, not knowing she has come back home early.

“I’m not talking about you, jesus!”
“But… in the party… El and I are the only girls,” Max stated, clearly confused.
“Max…”
“Yeah?” She chuckled dryly again, desperately trying to understand.
He simply stared at her with watery eyes, and he looked absolutely broken.
“Oh…” she said dumbly.
“Oh…” he echoed.

Or:Mike and Max work at Scoops Ahoy instead of Robin and Steve. (An alternative version of season 3’s bathroom coming out scene)
Platonic MadWheeler yayyy!

Summary
Mike’s entire body pulses with frustration. “Because I’m not Tammy Thompson!”
Will can’t breathe. “But–”
“I’m not Tammy Thompson.” Mike’s eyes blaze. “I’m goddamn Mike Wheeler, and I’ve been in love with you since you set my hair on fire in science class when we were ten.” His jaw clenches, and Will feels like someone let off a grenade next to his head. “I realised I was in love with you when you left me for Lenora, and realised you loved me when you made up that bullshit about El asking you to make me the painting.”
Will feels the blood leave his face, feels his entire world shifting in an instant. “Mike–”
“And then you stand there and tell everyone it’s this crush that amounts to the same as some girl who didn’t like Robin back?” Mike’s voice cracks. “I– how am I that to you?”
-------------------
Mike confronts Will after he comes out to the group, because he isn't goddamn Tammy Thompson. -

Summary
For the past two years, Micheal Wheeler hasn't usually let himself feel things.
Obviously, he has feelings. He loves his friends, he likes El, he appreciates his family. But he’s been hiding that feeling for so long that he almost forgot it existed.
Almost.

Continues immediately after the events of season 5 episode 7. Basically the finale, but written by someone who actually cares about queer representation. Mike did NOT deserve that absolute assassination and I WILL be doing him right.
In other words, a fix-it fic based on my last byler theory on my YouTube channel (@i.dontknowhowtodance, the period is IMPORTANT), in which we get a Mike-central finale where byler is canon. I do want to clarify I only watched the finale once and I refuse to watch it again so I might get some plot points wrong but you guys don't care anyway because no one likes the finale.
