Summary
"If Mike had leaned forward a little more, he would’ve been able to kiss Will. He would’ve been able to feel how soft his lips were against his.
Shit. What was he even thinking?
Thinking about kissing will, that’s what.
Mike sits back down and stares at the wall.
Was Mike gay?
No, he had dated a girl before. Will’s sister, in fact.
But there was never a spark there.
What about… Mike can’t think of another example.
Oh god, Mike just might be gay.
Better yet, he just might be in love with his best friend.
He just might be in love with will. "Or: The Party is now in college and Michael Wheeler has been making some discoveries about himself.
1) He hates his major.
2) He's definitely gay.
3) He's in love with his best friend Will, who has just started seeing this new guy.

After Mike unwittingly stumbles into a series of interpersonal bombshells, he immediately sets out to find Will so he can find out what, exactly, that painting meant, and why Will lied about it.

Summary
"It's your first day," Karen tells him. "This is exciting! You'll make so many friends."
"You think so?" Mike asks nervously, his wide eyes staring at her.
"Absolutely."
Karen Wheeler doesn't condone lying to her children, but she believes white lies can be considered harmless. They won't remember, anyways. But if Karen was telling the truth to her son, she'd have to admit how she's actually desperately nervous about his compatibility with his classmates.
After school, when Mike is rambling about his new best friend, Karen decides that if Will Byers makes her son this happy, she'll do everything in her power to make sure they stay friends forever.
Or, Will and Mike's relationship through the eyes of their friends and family (plus their own). Will is nonspeaking autistic, and Mike is also autistic. Neurodivergent friendly fic with them falling in love!

Summary
r/DnD
u/MWpaladin commented on “Can’t tell the difference between sorcerers and…” posted by u/LionsandTigers7 on r/DnDu/MWpaladin: Are you an actual idiot? Sorcerers and wizards are hardly even comparable. It’s not ‘the same thing’ in the slightest. A sorcerer’s magic doesn’t even come from a book of spells, their powers are INNATE. Maybe go back to third fucking grade before you ever try and DM a campaign of your own. Jesus Christ. Another important differentiation to note is… [expand]
Or: a long, very long, retrospective of Mike’s reddit history.
