Summary
“Hey, hey, it’s Mike. Um, sorry, is — is Will there?”
There is no answer for a minute, drawn out so long that Mike almost thinks the call somehow disconnected despite the lack of a dial tone. He pulls the phone away from his face, looks at it as if that’ll give him any clarity on the matter, and lifts it back to his ear. “Hel—“
“Uh,” Jonathan finally says, somehow more awkward than Mike, “It is Will.”
Mike nearly drops the fucking phone.
Five times Mike and Will shared a phone call throughout the years, plus one time they didn't have to.

And We Kissed As Though Nothing Could Fall by Rogue_Mercury

Summary
Mike had always believed that the moment he’d die, no matter how brutal, he’d feel calm. At peace. A moment of acceptance that this was as far as his story would go. A quiet thing, just for himself, where he’d remember his most precious memories. His most memorable campaigns, sneaking into the movies and sharing popcorn… a blue-and-yellow swingset. He’d seen it in movies, he’d read about it in comics.
Only now that he’d reached this moment, there were so many feelings overflowing, bursting through him like a punch to the gut. It left him completely paralyzed. Horrible fear, grief, pain, and the most intense regret he’d ever felt in his life.
OR: The continuation of the Season 5 Volume 1 Mid-Series Finale starring: Mike's POV, Mike being jealous of Robin, Will dealing with his powers and his newfound confidence, Mike overwhelmed (in the best way) by said newfound confidence, flirty but shy Byler, nerdy flirting, churchgate, and just generally ALL the Byler scenes I wanted to see happen in Vol 2 and 3 (we were robbed).

Summary
Eddie froze, blinking in confusion.
“Wait. You think kissing is just a precursor to sex?”
Richie shifted on the couch, his eyes wandering back over to the TV.
“I mean, yeah?”
His answer was so quiet Eddie almost didn’t hear him.
“So you’ve...you’ve never kissed anyone just because? No leading to anything else?”
“No, Eds, I’ve never kissed anyone ‘just because’ or without it leading to sex,” he murmured eventually, his tone giving nothing away. “But whatever, I don’t care.”

You Burn Inside My Memory So Well (You're Caramel) by Hevaann

Summary
“Look,” Will says, turning fully on the pallet to face Mike, one hand reaching down for the rough wood to find purchase and ground him. “Do you-, do you want to show me. Like-, like want to practice?”
Mike’s eyes widen but he doesn't say anything.
“Sorry, stupid idea, just wanted to help.” Will is trying to gather the words back up from the air between them and into his mouth.
“I never thought it was stupid.” Mike says, so quietly it's not much more than an exhale. “I suggested it first.” He adds, like it's a secret.
Will grips the pallet harder. “Show me. I really do want to help.”
Mike bites his lip a sec, and Will thinks he's going to say no, but then Mike's darting forward and pressing his lips firm and quick against Will’s. It's barely a kiss. Not romantic. Not enough to leave a scar. Will bleeds anyway.

Or: Mike has been kissing Will on and off since they were seven. How are you supposed to recognise an avalanche when you are drowning in snowballs?

Summary
His therapist would say that ‘relationships aren’t chess games you can plan down to the last attack or countermeasure’. That he should ‘just communicate’ with his partner when he’s experiencing doubt, instead of ‘prematurely ascribing blame and jumping to baseless conclusions’.
And Eddie would nod along and dutifully summarize her advice in point form in his therapy journal. And then, he would calmly close that journal and open another journal with a blocky header scratched so deep into the paper that it’s almost torn, and that header would read: “REASONS WHY RICHIE IS BEING FUCKING WEIRD AND DEFINITELY KEEPING SECRETS (UNSHAKEABLE PROOF)”. And there would be, let’s just say, more than a few pages filled in. Margins and all.
