Summary
Will Byers was raised to have the only correct opinions on music ever, actually, and he’s proud to show this off in the music review section of his university's queer student artists’ collective’s relatively popular zine, zine of the times. He actually really enjoys this position–that is, until the president of the zine informs him that he has to review his least favorite band on this earth: The Fellowship of the Ring.
At least his incredibly attractive neighbor in his U.S. history class is gonna go with him on the assignment, right?
Or: A music snob and the frontman of his most-hated local band walk into a bar for a date. It’s either the beginning of a really good joke or a really shitty love story.

Summary
Mike has been staring a lot, but he thinks he’s justified after three years and the realization that if he goes for a Deus Ex-Machina just once the world won’t end. He’s just sitting there, laptop illuminating his face, looking at Will with his cup of mocha half-way to his mouth.

Young author Mike Wheeler is struggling with his second book; a familiar face and large amounts of sweets might just bring back the inspiration he needs.

Summary
Will coughs violently when the lack of oxygen creates a ringing in his ears, and then he’s leaning forward and gagging. He fully expects to see a squirming veiny worm hit the sink like one had two years ago after his encounter with the Upside Down, but instead, he’s met with petals.
Will watches in more fascination than horror as they slowly float down to the sink.
Or the one where Mike keeps falling asleep, Will can’t stop hacking up flowers, and everyone is suddenly great at giving advice.

Summary
Mike huffs, gulping a little. He’s touching the same shoulder the actual Goddess of the Moon touched. He doesn’t let go though, he was there first. Selûne would have to deal with it.
-
It's a typical Thursday morning, except for the part where Will gets Chosen by the Moon Goddess and suddenly Mike's choice of which Paladin order to join gets a lot easier.

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.
