    Summary

    "Mike had noticed him because he was hard not to notice. He looked just so... Gentle.

    Will moved through campus like someone trying not to disturb the air around him, while everyone else seemed determined to reinvent themselves at maximum volume in the new environment they were on at the campus, Will existed quietly at the edges of rooms, soft and careful and entirely self-contained.

    And, unfairly enough, he was probably one of the prettiest people Mike had ever seen in his life."

    Will doesn't speak. He decided to stop using his voice for his own personal reasons, but slowly, he starts to think that maybe it wouldn't be bad at all if he decided to use his voice again. Maybe that talkative boy– Mike, from Creative writing, might be the first person to prove him he was wrong about that part of himself.

    Of a boy that after going through a lot of pain stopped using his voice as a defense mechanism, and a boy who can't stay quiet for long because his thoughts overwhelm him.

    Summary

    "This line." Will tapped the end of his pen on a sentence. "He wanted it more than he had ever wanted sunlight after a long winter. Mike. He's getting head, not returning from war."
    "It's interiority."
    "It's loneliness." Will said.
    "It's texture."
    "It's a blowjob with seasonal depression, Mike. You put loneliness into oral sex."

    OR: Mike Wheeler’s first job in Los Angeles is writing a sex column for Pink Noise, a chaotic queer magazine. Will Byers, his ex-best friend and current art director, needs copy he can actually draw. Mike writes sex like desire owes him an apology. He asks Will for help, for work reasons, research reasons. Normal, professional, absolutely not-life-ruining reasons.

    Summary

    "Set me up a meeting with that artist friend of yours that you've been bugging me about."
    "Wait, seriously?" Lucas' eyebrows had shot up in genuine surprise. "When were you wanting to organise the meeting for?"
    "Today. Or, as soon as he's available. What's his name again?" Mike asked.
    "I can call and see if he's free tomorrow, or if he'd be willing to swing by tonight." Lucas spoke, already walking towards the flip-phone on his desk. "But you'd probably have to offer an incentive for him to come on such short notice. And his name is Will. William Byers."

    OR

    The Mob Boss AU where a protective Michael Wheeler absolutely despises his Don father, and struggles with his own moral compass when it comes to protecting the people he loves.
    And artist William Byers has no idea what he's getting himself into when accepting a new art commission.

    Summary

    He had spent his life trying to be good enough, so maybe God would stop looking at him like something unfinished. When the Wheelers move into town, Will’s quiet Appalachian world begins to rot at the edges. In a town built on shame and scripture, desire becomes it’s own haunting.
