    Summary

    You're new to Paradis: a lonely, burnt-out art lover with too many dreams and what feels like no direction to your life, all while working a job that you hate. He's an uninspired artist looking for someone to bring back his spark for painting after life threw too many obstacles in his way. You're used to running; he needs someone to stay. Twin flames ignite over a shared love of art, ambitious dreams, and a desperate need for someone to talk to—and something beautiful blossoms between the two of you. But can it last?

    tl;dr: a slow-burn, coming-of-age story between artist jean and art historian reader. read for tentative friendships, grief and loneliness, emotional intimacy and tension, and trying so hard not to fall in love, only to do so hopelessly.

    Summary

    He tried to think of something else—literally, anything else. Puppies. Nancy. His grandma. That weird version of the Mind Flayer they fought at Starcourt Mall that was just a goopy flesh monster made up of rats and bodies.

    It wasn't working. The image of Dream Will hovering over him—eyes glazed over, coming undone—was burned into his retinas, sitting at the top of his fucking Archive of Jerking Off Material with a bright orange sticker that read NEW RELEASE FT. YOUR BEST FRIEND LOOKING TOTALLY FUCKABLE.

    OR

    Mike Wheeler has been spending a lot of time in his dreams lately—more specifically, wet dreams about Will Byers—ever since he discovered he has the ability to become lucid in them. He is so totally normal about it and not spiraling out of control.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Mike Wheeler destroyed the only person he ever loved with a rejection he told himself was mercy. Now he's an NYPD officer drowning in debt and self-loathing. Will Byers is Manhattan's art-world darling, brilliant and beautiful, hollowed out from the inside, slowly killing himself in ways no one bothers to notice.

    When a Mafia money-laundering case turns Will into the only living witness, Mike is assigned to protect the person he once swore to cherish and then shattered with his own hands.

    It was only when a bullet buried itself in the chest of the one he loved most that Mike finally understood how merciless fate could be, teaching him the meaning of love at the exact moment it demanded the ultimate price.
    But can a heart that has been broken ever deliver mercy to the one who broke it?

    OR: Mike hasn’t been afraid of dying since 1989. Will has a patron, a penthouse, and a drinking problem nobody asks about. A mafia case forces them back together. The bullets aren’t the dangerous part.
