Summary
Being a part-time superhero doesn’t solve Will’s problems; instead, it adds to them. As Cleric, he’s forced to deal with his egotistical know-it-all of a partner, Paladin. As Will, he’s stuck hopelessly pining after his best friend. He’s honestly not sure which is worse.
One thing’s for sure, though — he needs a change. In one of his weaker moments, Will comes up with a plan: get over Mike by getting under someone else, someone he knows he won’t fall for.
Maybe Paladin is good for something, after all.

Summary
"We get it, you're hilarious. Now take these off, please, so I can go home."
"Sorry, man," Lucas says, shrugging. He stands from his spot on the floor to come to Max's side. "But it was getting bad. You've been weird since Stacey's party."
Or: Mike and Will refuse to admit what happened last Friday, and the Party has the perfect solution. 24 hours handcuffed to your best friend shouldn't be so bad, should it?

Summary
"Your Paladin won't be coming to save you," Dante says, lying through his teeth. It's perhaps the most obvious bluff he's ever made, and if the way Will's eyebrows shoot up is any indication, it shows.
Will's lip twitches, like he's fighting a laugh – or a scream. Dante prefers to think it's the latter. "Really? Did he tell you that?"
Or: Will gets held for ransom due to his suspected connection to Paladin. It doesn’t end so well for the kidnapper.

Summary
In one swift movement, Mike pulls the box open, and what comes tumbling out isn't a feral stray - it's a kitten. A wet, trembling, scrawny kitten, with damp orange-and-black fur and big, frightened eyes, and Mike reaches a hand out without a second thought. He strokes two fingers over the kitten's back, and it leans into the touch, a tentative purr leaving its throat.
Or: Mike finds a kitten in an alleyway, and gets more attached than he intends to.

Summary
April 7th dawns like every other day, and it's not until Will throws a Kit-Kat at him that he realizes there's something amiss. He blinks the sleep from his eyes and stares up at where Will's standing, watching him with something like expectation in his face.
"Happy Birthday," Will says. There's the faintest hint of a smile on his face, barely reaching his eyes.
Mike blinks. Once, then twice, and when the third time brings no more clarity, he manages to force out a "What?"
Or: Three birthdays where Mike's life is vastly different, but one thing always stays the same.

Summary
Before Mike left for school the next morning, he looked positively giddy in his new outfit and ‘masculine’ cologne. Karen almost made him pose for a picture because of how handsome he looked, but she didn’t want to risk losing the mom points she’d worked so hard to earn the night before. Karen was really starting to gain confidence in her assumption about it being for a new girl. She was vaguely aware that Mike had a little girlfriend in the past—some puppy love situation—but obviously, he had his eye on someone new now.
What threw her for a loop, however, was when Mike carefully selected one of his new outfits and spent twenty whole minutes in front of the mirror just to hang out with Will.
-
Karen knows Mike is hiding something from her, and she's awfully confident in her assumption that it's a new girlfriend.

Summary
“If you say another one,” Will says, voice low. “I’ll keep taking my clothes off.”
Mike raises a brow, suddenly very interested in the art of self-love. “Are you bribing me to compliment myself with your body? You know that’s my number one weakness.”
“Precisely.”
The truth is, Mike doesn’t need to think about it when something precious is on the line.
“I am enough,” he says.
OR: Mike is assigned homework in therapy, and Will is happy to help him see it through.

Summary
“You do like it,” Mike teases. “I can tell.”
“Obviously,” Will huffs. “You know what I like.”
Mike does. What a surreal feeling it is, to be the one who knows what Will likes. What makes him blush, or shy away. What turns him on. To be the only one who knows these things.
“Yeah,” Mike says softly. “I know.”
or
Will becomes the patron saint of pretending to sleep with guys to help them come out of the closet. Mike isn’t exactly thrilled with the situation.
