Summary
“Will, how is it possible that you cool things off for Mike without even being there?”
“What? I don’t—” he starts.
“Yeah, you’re like his cooler,” Dustin adds. “When you don’t come out with us, Mike just sits at the bar and mopes.”
“I do not!” Mike shouts.
“And when you do come out with us,” he continues. “Mike spends half the night checking on you. And he’ll tell whatever girl he’s talking to that he needs to go ‘check on his roommate,’ and he ditches her.”
“Will, don’t take this the wrong way, but you’ve totally been cockblocking Mike without even doing anything,” Lucas teases.
“Come on, don’t be a dick, Lucas,” Mike grumbles.

After a months-long dry spell, the party agrees to help each other get laid, and a misguided Will dedicates himself to being Mike's anti-cooler. Then, a drinking game gone wrong puts Mike and Will in a precarious situation where they must kiss or risk losing the game, and a panicked Mike accidentally says something a little too revealing about his feelings, much to Will's surprise.

"What exactly are you calling for, Nancy?"
There was a moment of silence before she continued. "I'm living in Paris—for work. I can't… they won't let him leave the country, and I can't move back fast enough for it to matter."
Will felt his face pale. "What about your parents?"
"They don't want anything to do with him, not after—"
"Yeah, I heard. What about…"
"Will, there's no one else. I've tried."
"Nancy, I can't… I can't just—"
"Please. I wouldn't be asking if there was another option."
Will bit the inside of his cheek. "Okay."
Or: Mike is on house arrest for 6 months and has no choice but to stay with Will, even though they haven't spoken in two years.

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
Will touched his cheek in concern. “You okay, Mike?”
Mike managed a jerky nod. “Yeah, fine. You’re just…” He broke off to clear his throat and finally lifted his hands to place them on the small of Will’s back. His skin was smooth and warm. Mike’s thumb moved with the dip in his spine, tracing along the curve. “You know.” Hot and on top of me.
Will smiled, pleased at that. “I do know,” he said loftily, and Mike got the sense he really did, and frequently used it against him to get his way. “But I like it when you tell me.”
Mike wakes ten years in the future, a successful novelist and in a committed relationship with Will.

Summary
Mike turns around and sees Will standing in the middle of the hallway and stops.
"Hey," he says. "Can I help you find something?"
His voice in person is slightly different from the radio. This is the version before the edit. Louder, and a little breathless from arguing, and entirely unaware of how often Will had listened to him.
"I'm here about a logo commission," Will says. He sounds, he thinks, almost normal. Even with his brain operating at half-capacity.
Mike's eyebrows go up in surprise. "We're getting a new logo?"
